All the song segments have never been meant to be viewed literally, but more as reality + dreamscape, ala lighting where there should be none, background music without any source, costume changes, etc. Some are more real than others, but most, if not all have had elements of fantasy mixed in.

This sequence I took to be how the two girls heard their favourite song in their own heads as they were singing out loud.

This. I kind of assumed this was obvious by now. :(

We have entire fantasy sequences that may not actually be happening (all the way back to Mercedes' Bust Your Windows back in Season 1 or Rachel's song at the end last night) and augmented reality sequences like the Telephone song last night. If you want an idea of what probably actually happened in that bathroom, it'd be something like Rachel and Charice singing a verse or two in unison a capella, but for our benefit, entertainment, and the sake of selling singles for the show, we get a performance number with full backing music.

:lol

I chuckled because of the amusing imagery, but is there a deeper joke I'm missing here? :p

Charice--she was discovered by Ellen and Oprah. Her first album came out not too long ago.

Actually, she was discovered by Youtube. Well, sort of. That's where I heard of her first, years ago.

She showed up on some Korean talk show, I believe. I think Ellen then saw the youtube video of that performance and then flew her out to her show.

That's what it was. Thanks. I just remember seeing her and going, "There is no way that voice should be coming out of that little body."

She had a semi-hit on the radio called Pyramid. I liked it at the time, didn't know she got an album out though.
 
Say, could someone with some skill in photoshop make a "Haters Gonna Hate" macro out of the left part of this image?:

I would be most grateful.

"Stop the violence." in such a deadpan voice. I was howling.

Also WTF, the coach of the other team is Danny from 30 Rock

I think my favorite line was actually when Jacob told Shue about the forum on his blog dedicated to begging him to stop rapping.

The whole opening sequence was great. Basically taking things from critics and message boards and putting them on the show.

I think my favorite moment might have been Sue's "SHUT UP!"

And I will say it again, I HATE Lea Michelle's hair now. It looked bad in photos, but it looks even worse on the show. WTF are they thinking? I know some say it is to make her look worse since she is naturally beautiful, but it is just BAD BAD BAD.

Tastes differ, I guess. I kinda like her new hairstyle. I'm not altogether sure why though.

Its growing on me. I'd much rather have characters change up their look from season to season rather than have same style the whole time. Gives the illusion of change.

I agree. I've never been a fan of it. It almost looks like a sexy style haircut gone wrong.

Somebody feed Lea Michele some cheeseburgers. :(
dude that last bit when she was on stage... she looked so thin but like also very mannish because of it. her shoulders stuck out so much with what she was wearing and she had very tiny hips. i never really noticed that before though.

Can't explain why either, but I love it. She's gorgeous. I'm definitely more a fan of her voice than the new girl's too, which isn't sitting right with me, despite being obviously impressive.

Am I the only one that wants to punch Charice in the face here?

nope. how dare she be in the same frame as Rachel. Her frumpness clutters the frame and takes away of perfectly good Rachel time. I'll punch her in the face with you

Just heard the cast's rendition of
Toxic
.

Was pleasantly surprised (and actually, the other songs I heard were good too; Baby One More Time is pretty good).

P.S. I'm not going to spoiler Baby One More Time. I mean, its appearance is horrendously obvious.

Yeah, but, she's, you know...smiling, which is nice.

Show was good. Didn't like the setlist. Autotune was as noticeable as it's ever been. Sue Sylvester continues to deliver the best pitch-black humor on television.

Was it just me, or does Lea Michelle look older with the bangs? Like, she looks more her actual age, imo.

They make her look older, yes. I really hope they change her hair sometime this season. It is just horrible. It looks like a face coming out of the middle of Cousin It.

Less shoehorning songs please.

This is my biggest complaint about the show. I liked the first half of season 1 because the songs were purely part of Glee Club practice. But now it's all "We're singing about what we're feeling" stuff and that's why I hate most musicals. It's just spoonfeeding you the internal exposition of the inner thoughts of the characters instead of you identifying with a facial expression or knee jerk reaction.

New casting details!

Daniel Criss, who played Harry Potter in "A Very Potter Musical", will play a gay student from a rival school

That guy is awesome! I loved
A Very Potter Musical
and apparently he wrote all the music for that, plus he had a good voice.
