Glee--- “The Substitute”

Glee--- “The Substitute”

Sorry for the lack of blog for last week…

Aight Will gets sick and New Directions need a leader.  Kurt gets the bright idea to get a substitute teacher, Holly Holiday, to fill in for Will.  With any substitute, she has to prove herself and she does by singing Cee-Lo’s “Forget You” (which was awesome!)  Oh did I mention Holly Holiday is being played by Gwyneth Paltrow! 

While Will is sick, he sleeps with his ex-wife Teri

The principal is sick also, so Sue becomes principal and starts changing things… like getting rid of the football team and tater tots.

Kurt tries to set up Mercedes with a hot guy, but fails.  He feels that she is substituting food for love. (awww)

Kurt gets threatened by the football player that kissed him and throws homophobic slurs at him.

You should watch this episode cause this is not doing it any justice…

Glee--- “The Rocky Horror Glee Show” (The Halloween Episode)

Glee--- “The Rocky Horror Glee Show”

After a week break, Glee comes backs full force taking on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”  Now I know a lot of the viewers of Glee most likely haven’t seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I have and it was great to see them do such a great job of (attempting) to recreate this movie.

The show kinda starts off in the middle with Carl (the super fox John Stamos) busting into the middle of rehearsal and then it goes back from there.

Will find out that Emma is changing because she is an OCD freak and because of Carl, her new favorite thing is Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Will decides to have the glee club put on The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Everyone was into it except for Finn.  The character Finn plays has to spend a lot of time in his underwear and Finn is afraid of his body not looking right. And I should add, Sam is looking mighty foxy in those gold shorts, but this all short lived because Will takes Sam’s place in the play feeling that it was too racy for a student.  Will does this because Carl is in the play and he is feeling a bit jealous of this.

Sue does a report on a show that talk about racy things that are going on in the school. Will realizes that what he was only putting on this show to help him get Emma and that it is a very inappropriate show to put on, but the show does go on, but with an empty room, they do it for themselves.

This was a great episode to watch in that the songs that were performed went along with the story that was being played out. It also had a good spread of who sang (meaning, it wasn’t just Rachel) and it showed off the ever foxiness of John Stamos.  Jamya Mays (Emma) sings her heart out and I didn’t know she could sing like that.

If you can, watch it on Hulu.com it was a great episode

Glee's Halloween Episode

Brittany

Yes you have heard it here first!  Glee is putting on a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed episode.  The name of this particular episode is, “The Rocky Horror Glee Show,” and it looks awesome. From the looks of the preview, this looks like an episode that shouldn’t be missed. Just looking at the preview, it looks funnier than the actual movie. There were reports that Susan Sarandon wanted to be on this episode but she got back to the producers too late to be included (which would have been great.) For those who are fans of Rocky Horror Picture Show, this will be an entertaining version and for those youngsters who have never seen it, well im gonna need to you to go out to Blockbuster, Red Box or bootleg and watch the original

Glee--- “Duets”

Glee--- “Duets”

Yea,  duets… that’s what this episode is about.

Puck is on suspension so Sam comes in to take his place (you know, dude with the lips). Mr. Schuster proposes a contest and whoever does the best duet gets a restaurant gift certificate. Finn and Rachel come up with this wacky scheme to keep Sam in Glee and to help win Nationals, so they try to throw the contest. First they were gonna sing “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” but realized they would win with that song and they choose another (and you would think Rachel wouldn’t over sing this song, wrong.)

Kurt wants to sing a duet with Sam but he is put off by Kurt’s advances.  Kurt’s dad gives him a speech about how sometimes he can be a little aggressive and that the world is still mostly homophobic and he just can’t do what he wants.

Santana and Britney are making out on the bed when Brit asks Santana to be her duet partner, but Santana refuses and opts for Mercedes instead as a partner. Britney goes to Artie… AND        has sex with him!

"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" 

"River Deep, Mountain High" 

"Le Jazz" 

"Sing!" 

"I'm Born Again"

"Lucky" 

"Happy Days Are Here (Rachel and Kurt sing this song. Rachel over sings, of course, but it’s actually really good.)

Glee--- “Grilled Cheesus”

Glee--- “Grilled Cheesus”

Yea, I couldn’t make that title up even if I tried. This episode spotlighted one of my favorite characters Kurt and a subject matter that not too many shows can handle.

Finn is making himself a grilled cheese sandwich on the George Forman grill (he gives and explanation why he does, which is so true in using that grill) and when he lifts the grill up to reveal his sandwich, he notices something on the sandwich--- Jesus. Now Finn does something that no one else has ever done when they have found Jesus on a sandwich, he ate half of it and saved the Jesus part (most people who claimed that they have Jesus on a sandwich usually saves the whole thing, but not Finn). Finn prays for a few things, that the football team wins, that he gets to second base with Rachel and that he makes quarterback for the football team…

Meanwhile, Kurt’s dad, Burt, has a heart attack, goes into a coma and doesn’t know if or when he will come out of it. Kurt is devastated. Members of the glee club ask if they can pray for Burt and it’s reveled that Kurt doesn’t believe in God or any type of religion. The best line of the night comes from Kurt and why he doesn’t believe, "(God) makes me gay and then makes His followers go around saying it's a choice, as if I'd choose to be mocked every day of my life?"  Sue takes his side because she too has had issues with praying stating that she prayed every day that people wouldn’t make fun of her sister until she realized that no one was listening.

I always cry on an episode that deals with Kurt getting hurt and this one got to me when he said this line towards then end to Burt in the hospital, “I don't believe in God, Dad. But I believe in you, and I believe in us.” On cue, Burt moves his hand.

Religion is one of the most sensitive subjects in the world and Glee handles it perfectly by showing every side of the spectrum. There was more to this episode, but it’s one you have to watch… a blog just won’t cut it.

 Rachel over sings only on one song this week, but its a Barbara song, so it all works out

Songs during Glee:

Mercedes: Bridge over Troubled Water; I look to you

Kurt: I Want to Hold Your Hand

Puck: Only the Good Die Young

Rachel: Papa Can You Hear Me

Finn: Losing My Religion

Glee- Episode 2 Britney/Brittany

If you weren’t at home last night or looking on Hulu right now while you're at work to look at the Britney episode of Glee… then I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Yes I do know that I did not blog last week’s episode, don’t judge me.

Apparently Kurt has a Britney page on facebook with the people wanting them to perform a Britney song at Homecoming. Mr. Schuester says no and instead he wants some good old Christopher Cross to be performed. Brittany (the blond cheerleader and my favorite) objected because her name is actually Brittany S. Pierce. “Brittany S. Pierce. I’ve lived my entire life in Britney Spears’s shadow.”

In this episode, we get to meet Emma’s new boyfriend played by the oh so hunky John Stamos, Dentist Carl.  He just happens to be a dentist and he gets invited to Mr. Schuster’s class to teach the kids about dental hygiene (or something like that, I never got why he was invited, any hoo…) Dentist Carl gives the kids these tablets to show where the tartar is showing up on their teeth. Brittany, Artie and Rachel (shock!) teeth turn bright blue.  This leads to Brittany going to the dentist and getting put under some gas and she then performs “I’m a Slave 4 U.”  Now if you don’t know the actress that plays Brittany, Heather Morris, she once was a backup dancer for Beyonce on tour and on some live performances, so you know she can dance.

Santana accompanies Brittany to the dentist the next day for some laughing gas action and they perform “Me Against the Music.” Seeing these two play off each other is awesome

Rachel does “Baby… One More Time” in which she kinda over sings… but she looks exactly like Britney in the video, down to the moves, everything.  Mostly everyone likes the slutty Rachel

The best line of the night comes for Brittany after changing her mind about performing Britney songs, “I would just like to say that from now on I demand to have every solo in glee club. I sing and dance better than her … I'm more talented than all of you. It's Britney. Bitch.” PRICELESS

Artie performs “Stronger” as a flip to ex girlfriend Tina.  Mr. Schuester also shows his struggle with Emma and Carl’s relationship…

So Mr.Schuster decides to perform a Britney song at the homecoming show, but he is also gonna perform in it. The song is “Toxic” and they turn that song into a sex obsessed, Fosse-esque routine and I still don’t know how I feel about it… After the sex riot that happens as a result of this song, Sue gives us this line, “Not sure if you heard, William, but my spinal column was ruptured in a sex riot,”

Then Rachel sings a Paramore song, “The Only Exception,” to Finn.

That’s about it.

It was a pretty good episode. I’m so happy that they put the spotlight on Heather Morris cause that girl is an AWESOME dancer.
