A "ballad" is a male duck -Brittany

Brittany, I love you.

Endless Love: (endless awkwardness)


I'll Stand By You:

Wasn't that moment with Finn and his mom after the song really nice and lovely? I'll stop saying that now because there were a ton of scenes with great acting and heart in this episode.

Young Girl/Don't Stand So Close To Me:

Emma was too good in this scene...and Rachel's takeaway from the song was brilliant:
"Yes, it means I'm very young and it's very hard for you to stand close to me."

Crush (not really a full song on the show, but...)


"I have to go, they'll think I'm pooping" --Finn to Kirk via his cell from the Fabray's bathroom.
You're Having My Baby: (couldn't find a video for this one)


Lean On Me:


General show comments:
--Based on the depiction of Quinn's parents, someone on the writing staff clearly grew up in a WASPy family in New England. The prop department failed though because WASPs don't drink pink wine.
--Wasn't in love with the concept of Suzy Pepper, but loved that they cast Everwood's Sarah Drew. When this Glee aired she was also doing a stint on Grey's Anatomy at the same time, so she had a good October/November '09 for sho.
--The "More Than Words" soundtrack while Suzy ate the superhot pepper was awesome. Anyone else have angst/swoon-ey high school memories attached to that song? I do.
--Wiping the tears from Lean On Me.
--Sue Sylvester was completely absent from this episode...

Fan videos are getting reallllly good folks

Check these out:
Manny Garcia is the man - True Colors/Defying Gravity mashup:


More Manny - X4 - Imagine:


This guy, Jay Norton, is pretty adorable - and I'm almost certain he's a Brit, just listen to his pronunciation:


Another with Jay - Don't Stop Believin' - does he remind anyone else of Friday Night Lights' Matt Sarancean?


This isn't a cover, but these kids (who seem pretty young) made up a rap about Glee:


This girl made a good cover of Keep Holding On - I think her name is Sarah Jade:


This girl seems sweet - singing Defying Gravitty:


Another sweetie singing Defying Gravity:


Cute trio doing Somebody To Love - I'm guessing they're in show choir:


Cute couple doing Smile:


Father-Daughter combo doing Papa Don't Preach:

The beauty of this is not lost on me...dad spends time with daughter creating youtube videos of songs she heard on Glee, she'll probably not get pregnant.

Sassafrasses do Take A Bow:

K, I'm about to get back to it, but...

...so, I often have to go find new video versions of the songs performed on Glee and I ran across a slew of dudes lip-synching to Quinn's audition for New Directions and I have to share:

Please envision the conversation had between these three guys to determine who would play Quinn:


Know Featherman and the Featherettes? You do now.

I think Martin Short and Ryan Reynolds my have had a baby together.

Something makes me think these fellows are brothers...or from another country:


Not brothers:


Straight dudes? Tough gay dudes?


Again...same questions:


I think Sue Sylvester may have some choice words for they boys in the previous two videos:


These boys might be my favorite (next to Featherman and the Featherettes that is...):


And to finish it - Diana sings it life with George Lopez:


P.S. I hope you know me well enough by now to know that Sue's opinions are not my opinions, I was just making a joke.
