So I’m going to finish out National Hispanic Heritage Month with one of my favorite Hispanic TV characters, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, played by Sofia Vergara, from Modern Family.
Both the actress and the character are Colombian, which is pretty convenient.
Gloria has such a colorful personality that it’s hard not to like her. From being an overprotective mother to her crazy temper, she’s one of those television characters you can’t easily forget.
Gloria is also known for being really loud, as portrayed in this fan art by katseartist on Deviant Art. She’s screaming for her husband, Jay, as she does regularly on the show. I can hear her voice just from looking at this cartoon version of Gloria.
I had way too much fun watching the 58th Grammys on Monday night!
From the fashion to the presenter monologues, the show was definitely one to watch. LL Cool J hosted with his LL broach on the lapel of his suit jacket and several pieces of blindingly sparkling rings on his fingers.
Anyway, here were the performances that got me off the couch and on my feet throughout the evening.
1. Lionel Richie Tribute Medley, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Tyrese and others
You know you were alive before the new millenium when you get uber excited about hearing “Hello” and “Brick House.” I also really loved the suit Demi Lovato wore for her portion of the performance.
2. “I Can’t Feel My Face” and “In the Night” by The Weeknd
Gotta love seeing this crazy haired man perform!
3. “Love Yourself” and “Where Are U Now” by Justin Bieber
Loved the acoustic version of “Love Yourself.” Not sure how I feel about that cheetah jacket on the Biebs, though.
4. David Bowie Tribute Medley, Lady Gaga
Can we just stop for a second to appreciate how much effort she put into the aesthetics of this performance?! They couldn’t have picked a better person to do this tribute. Also, that robot keyboard is too cool.
5. “El Taxi” by Pitbull
Two words: SOFIA VERGARA. Boy, does Pitbull know how to close a show!
