Dory Previn News

After SCREAM QUEENS narrowed its focus two weeks ago to one plot, the show maintains a tight focus this week. There are two plots here instead of then, though. Grace and Pete go and search out Heather, a former Kappa sister, and the Chanels use a Ouija board to contact Chanel #2. These two threads both follow the main theme of the episode, and the show itself: surrounding danger drives normally innocent people to do bad things.

At the top of her show, SEE JANE SING!, Jane Lynch jokes that she always wanted to be the kind of TV celebrity that held an audience hostage for an hour as she dabbled in the art of cabaret. Luckily for us, deft comedienne Lynch surprises the audience by being a fantastic singer, leaving the audience begging her for more encores.

'Pretty House' showcases Mitchell's ability to draw the listener in with her dreamy vocal quality and lyrics that really speak from the heart. Tracks such as "Rain Came Down" and "Tommy and Angela" bring a full range of emotion in her smooth vocal lines, contrasting dynamics, and clean mezzo-soprano tone. "Rain Came Down," the opening track sets the tone for the album with a feeling of hope and new beginnings, as she sings "but sweet is the sound of the rain, I let it wash all my trouble away." On the other side of the spectrum, "Tommy and Angela" is an honest recollection of two people struggling with alcohol and drugs. The melancholy chorus sings, "if you see them on the street, look the other way. It's not likely that you'll meet any other day." It is certain that Mitchell is a true songwriter, both musically and in her authentic lyrical style.
