As promised, from time to time, I would like to steer clear from the law and focus on inspiration. I was sort of feeling odd that nothing lately really struck me to be so inspiring that I would want to write about it. However, in a strange twist, I find myself writing about a show called “The Singing Office” on TLC.
This show is a competition reality based show where people are in their every day work atmosphere and suddenly the guy from NSYNC and a woman from the Spice Girls show up. Suddenly these people are put into a singing group with their other colleagues and are now putting together a performance, either being trained by Joey Fatone or Mel B. Hopefully you know which one is the Spice Girl. In any event, the audience votes and at the end, one of the groups is crowned the winner.
I watched this show for the first time and really felt it filled the inspirational space I was hoping to write about at some point. These people really are putting themselves out on the line. We are not watching classically trained singers or even watching a performance that would really knock you out. It is more about the passion behind everyone that participates. You really see the teams work together and they are so into what they are doing. The audience loves it and it’s just really a fun event to watch. You have the security guard who talks about music and is finally getting the chance to sing, the woman who is blind in her left eye yet is learning a dance performance and everyone just looks so happy.
I have always said that as long as you bring some creativity into your life, even if just for five minutes, it will help you feel a bit more fulfilled. It’s not about everyone needing to be the best performer. It is just great to watch people come together and do something new, while working together on it. I just loved this show and it was so happy seeing people try something like this. I highly recommend watching it sometime!
