Any Gleeks?

Rachel makes an AWFUL Britney! I was so disappointed in her performance. I loved her singing the Paramour song though.. beautiful!

It was also a bit much having Artie do a Britney solo.. weird.

It was nice to see Will perform, but the whole thing was really creepy with how he performed with the students!

I am a Gleek and proud of it.
I love the guy who plays Finn. He's about 3 years older than me in real life.

Well you know only the real Brittany Spears can play herself well. Lea Michelle who plays Rachel is a good actress and singer. I think she pulled it off pretty well. I think she can pull off anything. She has amazing talent!!
The girl who played Sunshine last week was really good, too bad they only gave her a few parts. Maybe she will be on in the future. Did anyone recognize John Stamos who plays Carl? He is a hottie way too old for me but he played "Jesse" in Full House.

What did you all think of last night's episode? I do think it was the best of the season so far, and I had tears in my eyes several times. It could have been pretty cheesy, but I thought they handled the whole topic extremely well.

I won't say anything else about specifics in case others have recorded it but haven't watched it yet, but I thought even the song choices were extremely appropriate, and even the scene with Mercedes' church was great, and that's usually not done very well.

I liked it and have a wad of tissues to prove it. I'm more prone to the campier episodes. I LOVED the Brit episode last week (as much as I'm not a Brit fan) It was pretty great.
However, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I LOVED. I'm a Beatles freak and love how it was treated in Across The Universe too. Not so pop as much as heartfelt. LOVE GLEE!!

I loved last night's episode! I thought "I want to hold your hand" was gorgeous.. loved it.

"Thank you grilled cheesus" had me crying from laughing so hard, and of course "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was stunning and heart-breaking. I'm a total Gleek!

Yes, I was worried what song they would choose, but "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" fit perfectly, and heartachingly sung. That was one where I got tears in my eyes, and I am usually pretty stoic watching TV.

I thought the episode really handled religion very well, and was pretty darned respectful of each character's beliefs without being preachy.

And I simply adored the "You had me a fabulous hat" line, and the outfits of people in Mercedes' church, just so very well done without making fun.

Oh, and I thought the child they chose to play younger Kurt was a GREAT choice, really looked a lot like him!

So did anyone see last night's show of Glee? I watched it - we DVR everything - and thought the girl's performance of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was so very very well done. Just moving, and not at all corny and false like some numbers can be ...

And I never even was a fan of the original song, I knew it well, but didn't really care for it ... or honestly, give it much thought.

What did you think?

And every once in a while "Moves Like Jagger" has popped into my head today, too.

Sad news today about Glee cast member Cory Monteith. Found dead in his hotel room, only 31 years old. His struggles with addiction were well know, and for now it appears they may have done him in. Rest in peace, sir. Your character touched millions of lives.

I wonder if Glee will address substance abuse and addition at all in the next season ... hard to do tastefully, but it seems more important now.
