The Beat from Troy Music Hall #73, Makeovers!
Can everything be improved? According to millions of videos on YouTube, yes! We all know the best part of any rom-com is the shopping montage where the heroine gets a sassy makeover. And! There is a reason home makeover programs enjoy immense popularity. There is something very satisfying in watching a rundown wreck being giving new life by tearing it down to the bones then building it up to some sort of reclaimed glory. This week we salute all sorts of improvements!
Unrealistic but Still Fun
Ah, the unrealistic movie makeover montage. So fake, so fun! In this clip from The Devil Wears Prada, we pretend that Anne Hathaway looks heinous. Stanley Tucci’s acting abilities are so good, you go along with it and believe he has the skills to transform her into a great beauty.
Good Bones
The complete home makeover – tear it down to the bones and build it back up! On the HGTV show, Good Bones, mother and daughter duo Karen Laine and Mina Starsiak rehab properties in their hometown of Indianapolis. They take the worse houses in the neighborhood and make them into beautiful and stylish abodes.
Improving the Beat by Tricking the Audience
Watch pianist Harry Connick Jr. improve his experience interacting with the audience. In a rather genius move, he manages to get the whole audience to clap on two and four! Please watch the video if you’d like that explained, it’s well done.
