Carol Mayo Jenkins Revealed that during the filming of "Not In Kansas Anymore" she decided to apply some glitter to her make up for the Wicked Witch. Debbie Allen noticed so she decided to apply some glitter too. So carol applied a little more as did Debbie and pretty soon they had a glitter war on their hands.

Debbie Won because she had more skin exposed in her costume and had more areas to apply the glitter to!!

To See Your Face Again - Carrie Hamilton - Song Of The week


To See Your Face Again - Carrie Hamilton - Song Of The week



Time passes like a dream
Moments come and go
I see your face in a quiet storm
Call your name there's no answer
Tell me you can hear me
Say that you can hear me
If only you can hear me

Tell you of a time
We shared so long ago
It seems like only yesterday we laughed, we talked
Tell me you can hear me
Say that you can hear me
If only you can hear me 

If I could have anything
I'd wish for this my friend
To turn back the hands of time
And see your face again
Where did you go
Why did you leave
Say it isn't so
I still don't believe

There must be a way to change what has passed
The memory of you will always last
Tell me you can hear me
Say that you can hear me
If only you can hear me
If I could have anything
I'd wish for this my friend
To turn back the hands of time
And see your face again

Ay Nine Vlog On Liverpool and Fame U.K.

Trivia of the Week - Erica Gimpel


Erica Gimpel Revealed that one of her favourite moments on Fame was after she'd performed "Showtime".

Gene Anthony Ray was watching that number and when she'd finished he ran up on stage, lifted her up in the air, which gave her a sense of validation as a dancer because she'd always put Gene up on a pedestal.

Gene Anthony Ray - Long Shot - Song of the Week


Gene Anthony Ray - Long Shot 



Out in the streets
It's a fight for a place in line
You spend all day waiting
Just to find out the best has been taken.

Here in the dark
There's a light that will always shine
There's a chance I can get what's mine
And I'm gonna take it.

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot

Out in the streets
People say that my lucks run out
That I can't always get what I want
But I don't believe it

It's just out of reach
Yet someday it's gonna be mine
If you give me a little more time
I know I can make it.

I know it's a long shot
It's just a dream but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot.

Here in the dark
There's a light that will always shine
There's a chance I can get what's mine
And I'm gonna take it

I know it's a long shot (It's A Long shot)
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot (It's A Long shot)
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot.

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot

Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Can you take me with you?
For my hand is cold
And needs warmth
Where are you going?

Far beyond where the horizon lies
Where the horizon lies
And the land sinks into mellow blueness
Oh please, take me with you

Let me skip the road with you
I can dare myself
I can dare myself
I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk (watch me walk)
I can walk and walk!
(I can walk!)

I shall call the pebble Dare
I shall call the pebble Dare
We will talk, we will talk together
We will talk (chorus) about walking
Dare shall be carried
And when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe, singing:
"Meet your new road!"
Then I'll take your hand
Finally glad
Finally glad
That you are here
By my side

By my side
By my side
By my side

(Spoken- Judas)
Then the man they called Judas Iscariot
Went to the chief priests, and said
"What will you give me to betray Him to you?"
They paid him thirty pieces of silver.
And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity
To betray Him.

By my side
By my side
By my side
By my side
