Glee 5

This episode was very important to me because it brings Kristin Chenoweth to the stage.  Kristin has done many broadway musicals for many years such as Wicked and Cabaret.  I was very excited to see her play a druggie/drunk high school drop out with an amazing voice.  She is brought in by Will to motivate the Glee Club and give them more of an edge.  It ends up blowing up in Will's face because she ends up being a bad influence on the kids and giving them boos at school and even getting Kurt really sick.  This show shows us a responsible/creative way of drinking.  Most of us did it in high school and obviously there is no TV show in the world that would encourage this drinking in high school but Glee made it cool not to drink, which is a break through in its own.  Below is my favorite scene from the entire episode.  April (Kristin) and Will perform "ALONE" by HEART.

Glee 4

This episode had a lot of content.  We find out the perfect little cheerleader Quin is pregnant and not by her boyfriend, by her boyfriend's best friend.  She struggles with telling the truth, and will dealing with giving the baby away or keeping it.  Meanwhile, Will's wife Teri is faking a pregnancy to get her husband to quit his teaching job and get a job where he can make more money to buy her nicer things.  We also learn a lot about Kurt... which is the only openly gay guy in the whole school.  He auditions for the football team to make his father happy.  He ends up teaching the football team a lot more than they thought they could learn from him, by dancing!  They win their first football game because of him too.  The football team dances to Beyonce's "single ladies".

Episode 4 Summary

Glee 3

As the plot thickens we see more and more of each character develop.  We learn how easily Will is manipulated by his wife Teri.  Will learns to follow his own dreams and joins in a boy band which he names "Acafellas" which comes from the word A Capella, which means to sing without instrumental background.  By doing this he completely forgets about the reason why he decided to teach the Glee Club to begin with.  We really explore the expertise of Will's voice in this episode.  He really has an amazing, talented, developed voice.  Of course you can check it out for yourselves in the performance of his group "Acafellas" bellow. 

Remember this is done without instrumental help

Glee 2

This time on Glee, the Glee club performs in front of the school for the first time.  This is basically the first episode where you see the whole group perform as a whole.  It tackles on sex and other high school topics that everyone goes through.  The Glee club decides to perform "Push It" the Salt-n-Pepper classic to give the school what they want, sex.  They also perform hit songs such as Kanye West's "Gold Digger", the famous "Say a little prayer for you", Rihanna's "Take a Bow" and finally Journey's "Don't stop believing" which is the shows number one song to this day.  Rachel and Quin (the cheerleader) fight over the same guy through out this show.  Rachel is obviously very talented and an amazing signer, while Quin is beautiful and popular.  Both of them have something the other one has.  This is something most people feel while they are in high school as well.

Glee Episode 2 Summary

Glee 1

(From Left to Right starting at the top: Will, Sue, Rachel, Kurt, Tina, Arte, Fin, Mercedes)

*not pictured Quin.

Ever since this show first aired I have never missed an episode.  This show is the first of its kind because it is a musical TV show, which means there are musical numbers performed in every single episode. Glee is a show about the importance of the arts and how music is important to everyone.  There is a song for every type of emotion you feel and you go through.  In the first episode of Glee it really shows how the Glee club is viewed as outcasts (like most high school students feel at one point or another) and a teacher named Will Schuester's struggle to show them their star potential.    

I am a singer, so this to me was a musical break through.  I am picky when it comes to singers so I give my critic very seriously. Will (played by Matthew Morrison) & Rachel (Lea Michele) are the best singers there by far.  Ironically enough they have both had major roles on broadway.
