"Auditions"

Watching the show last night was such a fun experience. I was with 13 other people from my dorm and we all were mesmerized. This is one of the better episodes Glee has released. Almost everything was spot on with a few let downs here and there. But nevertheless, a great episode.

The beginning of the episode was genius! The episode starts off with a bang with a humorous take on the rumors going around about glee: How Lea Michelle is hard to work with because of her diva attitude, how the songs Mr. Schuester picks seem like songs from a "drag queen" i-pod (don't know what that means), and how Mr. Schuester shouldn't rap (which I kind of agree with).

From what I saw, Sue was vicious and relentless in this episode. The attacks on Beiste were a little too much, but neccessary to express Beiste's emotional side. However, her comments to Santana about her boob job were so funny. When she said that she would be demoted to bottom of the pyramid so that if it falls, her inflated sand bags would brek her fall, I was on the floor laughing. Also, her interuption of Rachael and Sunshine's sing off was great too.

MIKE CHANG HAS LINES!!! When he first talked in this episode, I was shocked. Thank god he's getting more camera time. I was starting to feel bad for him. Now that the other guy (the black one who also didn't have any lines) is gone, leaving Mike Chang out in the dust would have been cruel.

I love the new characters in this. All of them don't fit a stereotype, which is awesome since all the other characters basically do. Bestie is a football coach who is tough and intimidating, but she has a soft side which I liked. Sam Evans, the new quarterback, has the typical white guy voice, but I admire those who have a high vocal range. So mad props to him. I'm also speculating he will be Kurt's boyfriend. Yes, Kurt.

Now you know I had to save the best for last. CHARICE IS BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I am sooooooo happy for her. I knew she couldn't do wrong on this show, but DAMN! That was unbelievable. I got chills when I heard Listen. Rachael has a right to be jealous. That was probably one of the best vocal performances in the entire series without a question (although I could be biased since I discovered Charice two years ago and have been a big fan ever since). But when I found out she was transferring and going to be part of Vocal Adrenaline, I was furious. I hoped to see her more often, but alas this won't be the case. Thanks Rachael.

Anyway, this episode had some great moments. Although it did have some sour spots. I didn't enjoy the fact that there was only one group song. I was hoping to see more from the group as a whole. Also, I wasn't a fan of the ending. I hate the fact that Charice won't be part of New Directions (though I saw that coming). I also didn't like Rachael's song at the end. It was boring and I thought the season opener should have ended with an big group song. Also, If the reason why everyone was upset with Rachael because she wants all of the solos, why give her a song of her own at the end. I didn't get that.

Well that's all for now. Can not wait for the next episode. BRITNEY! And also, Brittany will have her first solo! See ya next week.

PS: Has anyone noticed they've already covered 5 Beyonce song's without a dedication episode to her? "Crazy in Love," "Halo," "Single Ladies (though they never sing it)," "Listen," and "Telephone (although featured)."
