The dancing was fun. It just seemed out-of-place and weird. Maybe because it was a dream sequence. We agree with you that they should do more old-style Broadway stuff. Just not that song. <br /><br />After listening to the mashup on our iPods, we have to say, we're not into it. It was good on the show because of the cute visuals. One of us has liked Gwyneth since Se7en, and the other finds her annoying and doesn't like her voice.<br /><br />A part of us thinks that if a song needs the F word to be good, it's not very good to begin with, but we like Cee Lo's original too. <br /><br />Tots are the best part of a school meal.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-22924299645456471162010-11-24T03:17:44.787-08:002010-11-24T03:17:44.787-08:00Only a week late, I finally watched this one. Love...Only a week late, I finally watched this one. Loved Gwyneth, who, for me, lives in the irritating category most of the time (that said, I'm totally seeing "Country Strong"). <br /><br />Okay, I must be one of the few because I really liked the "Make 'em Laugh" moment! "Singin' in the Rain" is my all-time favorite movie, though, so perhaps I can't be rational. But the old-school singing and dancing? Fantastic! I want to see more of that on this show, but judging from your reaction to it, they probably will avoid that in the future. Jury's still out for me on that "Umbrella/Singin' in the Rain" mash-up. Part of me thought it was really fun and clever (I definitely loved the dancing!), but the other part of me feels weirded out by the way they changed the melody on the later song. Will Shuester = NO Gene Kelly. <br /><br />I personally prefer the explicit version of the Cee-Lo song. It's such a mediocre song without the f-word (kinda like Mumford and Sons' "Little Lion Man")! Sometimes the f-word is just the right word for the situation.<br /><br />Oh, and, I'm with Mercedes on her tots rage. Those things are little fried pieces of magic.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362531837161699207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-10609308758688403982010-11-17T15:28:34.158-08:002010-11-17T15:28:34.158-08:00While we think that even a "meh" episode...While we think that even a "meh" episode of Glee like this one is better than nearly everything else on TV, we agree with most of your points. You're right, Glee DOESN'T need to try this hard. <br /><br />We haven't had many episodes without some sort of gimmick or guest star this season. We guess with the popularity of the show, this had to happen. This just means (to us) that season three is going to rock once the show calms down and gets this out of its system. They've got to be hearing the complaints, right? They've got to stop sometime, right?<br /><br />We liked the tots thing too much to hate the episode. The humor was still there. But the songs were the weakest they've been since the "funk" episode.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-13897201452052094852010-11-17T14:03:32.123-08:002010-11-17T14:03:32.123-08:00My grade: D-
This was the first episode this seas...My grade: D-<br /><br />This was the first episode this season that I was truly disappointed in. Britney wasn't all I hoped, but it still had its moments. Rocky Horror was going to suck no matter what. But this? This should have just been a normal, enjoyable, hilarious Glee episode... but it wasn't. The kids didn't sing much, and the song choices were deplorable. I love Glee with my whole heart, which is why this episode was so disappointing. It was "Hey, Gweneth Paltrow has decided she's a singer, so suddenly we have to be inundated with her musical talents!" Her character started fun and quickly grew annoying.<br /><br />I wish the writers would quit trying so hard. We love the show, so they should just relax!<br /><br />P.S. Terri and Will were gross. Like... nasty.CurvyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04121531146196498157noreply@blogger.com
