Review Of Grey’S Anatomy Music

One would expect mushy love songs to be played in the background of a hospital love drama in soap. And that’s just what you will get from Grey’s Anatomy. But of course the choices are not the cheesiest ones. The show does have some good taste in music actually. And if they ever choose cheesy music it is meant to be ironic or funny. If you are a rabid fan of the medical series, then you would probably already know that the Grey’s Anatomy Music Soundtrack I and Soundtrack vol. II are just small simple samples of the great mix of songs that were used in the hit episodes in the series. With that said, let’s list down some of the best (according to my criteria of course) that where heard. A lot of Grey’s Anatomy Music are gives you both a feeling of dread and of being uplifted at the same time. A lot of them are melodic, entrancing, emotive, and makes the best use of silence.

The show achieves these peculiar effects by using songs from the Cardigans, Tegan and Sara, and Keane. Now if you have never heard any one song from these groups then you would have hard time imagining what the heck I am talking about. But if you have, at least one song, they you would know just what kind of a trance I am talking about. The melody is primarily melancholic and yet very beautiful at the same time. These are not love songs that are bound by the aesthetic of the power ballad. They are however, more similar to folk ballads, only they are drenched in the modern angst of urban isolation and are characterized by a high consciousness of the self that is imperfect yet willing to lose itself for love. Beck for example is a recurring band through out Grey’s Anatomy music.

Without these pieces of music, the show Grey’s Anatomy would certainly have a completely different outcome and atmosphere. So much of the emotive force that is seen episode per episode is bound up by the perfect timing and the perfect choice of music that is played. I would have to say though that I get a little tired of the ending song and montage of character shots showing them in various posses of despair, regret, longing, lovemaking, or happiness. That’s so been used so many many times in many many shows. All in all, the music still works its magical reverie.

Barbara Walters hosts an ABC special during year-ends to recognize the most fascinating people of the year. This year, Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2007 will be an hour-long tribute to the individuals who have made their mark in history, in the year 2007. These people include Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Hudson, and Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl. The special will also be featuring two surprise guests.

This year, Heigl grabbed the spotlight with her box office hit movie with Seth Rogan, Knocked Up, which also received critical acclaim. She also bagged the 2007 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy. Moreover, she is engaged to singer/songwriter Josh Kelley, whom she is to wed next month, right before Christmas.

Katherine Heigl has definitely caught everyone’s attention with her outspoken nature. During the Isaiah issue, she liberally answered anyone’s questions, placing her opinion in the forefront of her statements. She criticized Washington for his inappropriate behavior and praised her best friend, T.R. Knight for handling the situation well. Unlike her co-stars who gave vague answers, Heigl was as blunt as she could get.

Moreover, during the 2007 Emmys, her name was mispronounced in the announcement of her victory, and they had to bleep out her reaction after she swore. Heigl just isn’t afraid of being herself, and that’s enough for Barbara Walters to name her as one of the most admirable personalities of the year.

Aside from Katherine Heigl, Barbara Walters will also have Victoria and David Beckham, former President Bill Clinton, and the masterminds behind MySpace, Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe on the ABC special. Last year, another Grey’s Anatomy star, Patrick Dempsey, made it to the list of the most fascinating people of 2006.

We’re all tired of hearing about the writers’ strike so let’s move on to other more amusing things. On Friday, November 9, the star of Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo got married to her fiancé, Chris Ivery at a ceremony in Lower Manhattan ’s City Hall. The actress’ father, Joseph Pompeo also confirmed the news about the wedding, telling People magazine that he is “very happy for her,” and that “she just didn’t want a big thing.”

Ellen Pompeo’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Allen described the ceremony as “wonderful and small and intimate.” Moreover, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Deputy Mayor Patti Harris were the only witnesses at the ceremony. Pompeo wore an Yves St. Laurent dress she pulled out of her closet while Harris did the picture taking with a digital camera. The 38-year-old record producer, Chris Ivery and Bloomberg have mutual friends and have both hailed from Massachusetts . Moreover, Pompeo also grew up in Massachussetts.

Shortly after the nuptials, the couple were seen at Sunday night’s Kicks game at Madison Square Garden . Pompeo then went back to Hollywood to continue filming the last available episode of her hit television series, Grey’s Anatomy.

Back in 2003, Pompeo and Ivery first met at a grocery store. Six months later, they started dating and got engaged in November of this year.

Ivery proposed to Pompeo on her 37th birthday, an Allen said that she “was surprised and thrilled.” Ivery gave her an engagement ring that held a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori.

Pompeo stuck to her word, as she previously told People magazine that there won’t be any big gathering or celebration for her wedding.

Meanwhile, Pompeo’s medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy hasn’t been doing well as it recently cut short its production due to the writers strike.
