"I believe it has something to do with the inability of gay men to relax their fucking facial muscles, likely a result of extreme self-consciousness. The result is perpetually expressive eyebrows, two rows of teeth showing most of the time, wide eyes, sev.

Who knew that YouTube hosted more than home movies and viral videos?

I was looking for news about the upcoming film version of Dreamgirls and found the following video clips on YouTube:

• Behind the Scenes (much longer the clip on the Dreamworks website)
• The Fight Scene & “I am Telling You I’m Not Going” (from Dreamgirls in Concert)
• A H&M commercial using the music from Dreamgirls (this version on David LaChapelle’s website is higher quality)

There’s tons of clips from Wicked, Rent, and Phantom of the Opera; but YouTube also has some more deliciously obscure clips. Here’s a few highlights:

• The original deleted ending from the film version of Little Shop of Horrors
• Stephanie Mills singing “Home” (from The Wiz)
• Mine, All Mine (a song added to the UK version of Bat Boy)
• Josh Groban singing “Anthem” (from Chess in Concert)
• John Hill & Michael Arden singing the title song from Bare
• A mashup of songs from Annie, sung by casts around the world (the Australian Annie is precious)
• The Temptations, singing a psychadelic medley from Fiddler on the Roof (and Part 2)
• Diana Ross, joining the Temptations, in “The Rhythm of Life” (from Sweet Charity)

Old commercials for 3 Broadway Shows:

• Nine
• Merlin
• Amadeus

Of course, there’s still plenty of mind-bogglingly odd home movies:

• Two guys at night in a parking lot singing “Defying Gravity”
• A homemade trailer for Carrie: The Musical
• And tons and tons of Japanese animation and World of Warcraft video set to show tunes (in this case, Avenue Q)

I’m still working my original Series 1 TiVo, but the new Series 3 box is being previewed at CES (entry 1, 2, and 3). Lot’s of cool sounding features, including HDTV and CableCard support and a new backlight remote.
