American Dreams

love this new series on hallmark! its set in 1950s America, during the revolution. one of the main stars of the show is the American Bandstand section, where 50s 'artists and groups' perform to a live audience. Here are a few pictures of today's stars personating yesteryear's goldies...here is charlotte martin, performing as Petula Clarke


fefe dobson as tina turner. love her performance! its so energetic and lots of people really think she personified tina realistically. very over the top; but that is why we love tina in the first place; always over the top!


Paris Hilton as barbara eden. have not seen the episode yet. but looking forward to it!


and michelle branch as leslie gore. she sang You Don't Own Me, one of Leslie's legendary and iconic songs. i love michelle's rendition of the song. really powerful.

among the current stars thrown back through time are Stacie Orrico, Usher, Hillary Duff (as the Shangri Las), Tyra Banks, Jennifer Love Hewitt (as Nancy Sinatra), Alicia Keys, Brandy (as Gladys Knight) just to name a few... love the series!
if you enjoy retro old school hits and the beautiful sets of the 50s, you'll love this series. just makes you wanna get up and dance along with the kids on TV land! (ps i did just that...)
