Starting this week, I’m starting a new feature for The Glee Project. Every Monday I’ll be interviewing the eliminated contestant from the show. I don’t know if you’ve been watching the show or not, but it’s surprisingly good and uplifting. I used to be a huge Gleetard the first two seasons of Glee, but it’s kind of lost it’s charm for me…however, The Glee Project is kind of my new slow jam as far as musical shows go because it’s real! If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so.

Here’s my interview with Matheus about his experience on the show and his elimination:

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Yay Nads! So nice to get a personal, gasmi interview for this show. I too am a fan for all the reasons you state! I’d love for more people to check it out, but I guess not everyone has Oxygen. . . . strange to me that Bravo didn’t pick it up . . .

    Good luck, Matty! Really liked you on the show, and that whole Divo think . . . gimmie a break . . . the worst dancer says you’re messing him up–is that even possible!!!

    Who’s your fave on the show? Can you say, since you will interview . . . I think Alex is quite a talent, and he’s from the town I grew up in–so random! I think Hannah is my fave coz she’s always nice! And she really pops in the videos.

    Yeah, I’m liking this show. Maybe even more than Glee, since I like the reality format so much.

    Only thing, Nads. Could you not give the eliminated person’s name in the headline? I watch the show on a lag, so it kind of gives it away (although it was pretty obvious Matty was a goner anyway).

    Betcha it comes down to the Irish guy and Marissa in the end. She’s the most talented overall of the bunch (and really beautiful, even if she needs a better haircut). The Irish dude appears to have no real talent, other than that weird mushrooom-shaped nose of his. But he’s obviously been picked for the win.

    ahhh! sorry @itchy! I was unsure about that b/c of the interview, but I’ll fix for next week. MY BAD, big time! I should know better.

    @juddfan. I’m with you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hannah, and I love Alex. I think what went down in the last episode got a little out of hand with Alex and Matheus. I don’t think that Alex was doing what he did to Matheus on purpose. I think Matheus’ insecurities got the best of him, and he let Alex affect him.

    This show is WAY better than Glee. I can’t believe it doesn’t have a bigger audience. I think it’s really endearing, and those kids are so brave for putting themselves out there like that. It’s not fake reality, they’re just being them!

    That’s okay Nads, it’s a great show anyway, the rest of it is more interesting than who goes home.

    I thought Matheus was the bad guy in that scene– trying to show up Alex, not the other way around. And then making it look like Alex was cutting him down.

    Well, Nads, I’m sure your interviews will help . . . too bad they couldn’t have run the first show after the last Glee or something . . . I’m not sure people realize how satisfying it is for the Glee itch.
