GD, this is amazing. Can't stop listening to this. IMO, the best thing they've done on Glee yet.

Not a fan...I agree with the person who said the rain machine stuff was cool, but the two songs did not go well together plus there wasn't much choreography to speak of. In fact, the "singing in the rain" concept for this show was just stupid. I'm a huge fan of the movie. So to see these guys try to ape Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor was painful.

Here's a reminder of how awesome the original was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW02c5UNGl0

I was pleasantly surprised by Gweneth though. I had the impression that she had no musical ability or rhythm. However, her numbers were among my favorite. Even though I thought it sucked that they turned Cee-lo's "Fuck you" into "Forget You" she actually pulled it off pretty well. And her "Conjunction Junction" made me long for the days of hot high school teachers.

I didn't care much for make em laugh, but the ending mash-up works for me. I think they don't have much in common other than they mention umbrellas, but I love it. Really disliked the Cee Lo cover.

I did think Gwyneth was fantastic though.

edit, this was linked to the Cee Lo video. Didn't realize she had done any music. Not a big country fan, but she clearly is talented.

This season needs more Kristin Chenoweth.

YES!

God, I'm in the Glee thread begging for more Kristin Chenoweth and talking about how much I love Chicago. Maybe I should check out GayGAF...
 
Some of you realize Forget You actually is the edited version by Cee Lo right?

I'd rather more Gwyneth over Chenoweth. As much as I like Chenoweth, I just don't like her actual songs in Glee. Glee does pop much better than ballads which usually occur when she shows up. I liked Alone though.

I can't believe I just went to that website. Ugh.
I know how you feel. Everytime I'm directed to that site it's like I need to take a shower, so awful. :lol

I don't like
Dianna Agron's
voice but it sounds good here.

She's actually doing a new music themed movie she stars in, Country Pride or something, where she is an upcoming country singer and sings alot of songs. And seriously, you guys never saw Duets or heard Cruising Together on the radio for the last several years?

I also do not like Diana's voice in the new song that was posted. It's unfortunate that iconic of a song went to her/ that she didn't do better on it.

Seems like a lot of Glee upcoming songs were leaked online aside the one already posted :

Ohio by Sue and Her mom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsimjkevEks

Marry you by New Direction's couples
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROn0_RrqEqA

Just the way you are by Finn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i74eumolqC4

Valerie by Santana
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvVxB1H9W9E

Maybe its just youtube quality audio but I think I sing this song better than Finn when I sing in my car.
 
NOOOO Sam. and artie. and Mike finally gets lines and this is the part he gets to say it during? awesome.
and man. Bieste voice is real scary.
 
i really enjoyed this episode. too bad kurt is gone. fucking rachel. all she thinks about is the competition. but that's her.

and him changing school was so... quick.
 
I can't see Kurt staying gone for long. He's becoming the biggest character in the show. I did think he did a great job in the wedding. Whoever plays him looked like it really was one of his best days ever.
 
Weakest plot point in the episode: the entirety of New Directions being aware of and concerned with the Karofsky situation, which hadn't even been hinted at in the last two episodes. Mind you, I actually liked the scenes that resulted from this, so I really don't have that much to complain about. The wedding scenes were corny, but still remarkably effective.

I already knew from spoilers that Kurt would be transferring, but while this obviously isn't going to last too long, it's still a huge relief after Never Been Kissed to see that this storyline isn't going to be resolved in the most obvious and straightforward "send an unrealistically positive but 'empowering'" manner possible, which could easily have happened on this show. Maybe Blaine will get an actual personality next week, too!

Good episode overall. Sue marrying herself was :lol :lol . The songs were good except the Ohio one. Not because it was sung poorly but because it's not my type of song. Quinn didn't seem to get the lesson since last season. Hope she doesn't get pregnant again. Santana holds the key to destroying Rachel and Finn's relationship. New directions stepping up for Kurt was nice but at the same time it made little sense. They acted like they knew Karosfky been harassing Kurt but in the end Sue says that there are no witnesses to prove Kurt's point. The scene with Karofsky's dad was weak too, his dad basically said well you've been weird lately and maybe Kurt is right. He did not try to fight with Sue.

It was so sad at the end :( . He leaves just as Mr Schue was finally gonna use him at a competition. I was bullied as a kid too and this episode made me feel so sad. Unlike Kurt I didn't have any friend at that time to sing me a song. Rachel is so mean. At the end everyone were like Kurt don't leave and she is OMG you will be against us at sectionals.

So what is gonna happen next week? It's sectional right? Ryan Murphy will make Kurt lose at something?!?! Also this is pretty much the Kurt Hummel show now. At a point every single character were talking about him.
 
now we get to see kurt and blaine make out. I want to bet New Directionals won't win sectionals but since they qualified last year they'll get a free pass to regional.

Well I really liked the episode. Carol Burnett was awesome but I'm not sure what to think about Sue's plot. It was kinda cheesy and weird. Oh and I actually liked "Ohio", maybe because it wasn't autotuned to death.

While it was nice to see everyone standing up for Kurt I felt it was weird for Rachel to be the first to bring the issue up. I just felt it was out of character or maybe it was just so sudden since they really didn't show any concern before.

I actually liked the wedding number and I thought it was cute. A little bit cheesy but I really liked the song and the dance. :lol BTW, Santana looked so damn hot at the wedding. Seriously, so stunning. I wonder if she's going to destroy Finchel's relationship. Also, I was really shocked about the fight in the locker room; I wasn't expecting that at all.

Overall, really good episode and I'm looking forward to next week. I really want to watch Kurt's replacement in action. Here's the preview for next week's ep.

Rachel will always act in her self interest. Making sure Kurt is at the top of his game is in Rachel's self interest.

What a beautiful episode. Glee is starting to shape up; they only need to fix the absolute lack of continuity and it might just be completely wonderful again.

This. I hope they get to face off at sectionals, the two of them personally!

I can't believe people thought this episode was good. I thought it was atrocious in every way possible.
