UnGLEEful — Page 14

I chose to sit this one out. I decided my life it too precious. I know, right? Totally surprised me, too!

I liked Jane's 'Vogue' too.
The rest was 'meh.'

I agree with you there Sheldon. The camera is not kind to Menzel's face. Some folks just come alive better on stage.

Although the Vogue segment was an almost exact replica, it is Lynch who deserves praise for making it work. I couldn't help but think of Cloris Leachman trying to be sexy.

Oddly enough, I don't feel Groff has a great persona for the camera either.

"Do Santana and Brittney have any other clothes? Why are they wearing their Cheerios' uniform on a Saturday? "

they are always wearing them. that is what makes me ask if this show is more spoof like in some ways. maybe it isn't realistic at all because it pokes fun of stereo types in an exaggerated way. seriously, we know that when groff and michele were singing Hello an orchestra would not just chime in. i don't know the ins and outs. i know in some schools, if they had a GLEE club like this, they would not be unpopular, that's for sure. at my high school, if you were a cheerleader you were laughed at. i know not in this school...jocks and cheerios are where it's at.

i can't find my question in one of these glee threads about its original airing. i thought it had a preview last summer then started prime time in the fall.

Groff looked greasy and Idina looked old. I skipped a few episodes last season (or before their break, if this isn't actually a new season) and was hoping to pick back up with new writing, better songs, less autotuning, but...no luck.

^ Yeah. In high school, the cheerleaders and football players are seen as the popular ones. Our school has a drama club (equivalent of a glee club) and we are absolutely not looked up to. And during football season, our cheerleaders DO wear their uniforms at school all the time and on weekends. If it's not their full uniform, it's a warmup suit or competition short/tee shirt set. So Glee is realistic in my case. (The orchestra is really a stretch, though)

Hey if we removed all the cruel/unnecessary comments from these boards, there would be almost nothing left.
And I didn't mean she's unattractive, really. She just has a look that is better suited to the theatre, since her features are very distinct, and in close-up they don't always translate well. But hell, she's better looking than I'll ever be.

A by-the-numbers episode tonight. Starting with Morrison's rendition of ICE ICE BABY which was so poorly choreographed it looked like they hired a different choreographer. The split screen focus during the trios is getting tiresome as well as Lynch's imitating of pop stars. The duet (Lets Get Physical) with Olivia Newton John was poorly conceived and landed with a thud. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was the wham bam finale channeling an episode of a Debbie Allen dance class in FAME.

The series seems to be losing its luster fast.

First the odd TONY noms, now this !

The script was one of the worst ones yet. I thought it had been getting better... and then this. Oy.

i really liked the episode last week, i thought it had a lot of heart.
i am a huge glee fan but even i am usually annoyed by the plot lines. in my opinion they are so rushed, too much is happening and each episode revolves around small plots that are resolved within the episode and they don't advance the story along at all. then there's the more important plots lines (shue and emma, etc) which i find interesting. is it just me though, or is it less about a glee club now and more about stupid high school drama? i don't know. the only reason i watch it week after week is because i absolutely love the songs and the guest stars (esp. john groff...i know he is gay but every time he is on screen i scream like a little girl...)
i think glee got caught in a trap. it became popular way too early (before the first season officially began) and now its main focus is to be as flashy and sell-out-ish as possible...and less focus on the writing. i hope it fixes these glitches soon, but i don't know. for now i just love the music, i buy all the cds and drive around singing along to them. i love the broadway connections and i love that there is a tv show out there that is about real people. emma's OCD is close to me as i have dealt with anxieties and ocd tendencies all my life and i like how it's part of her character, and not something to be ashamed of. also, sue having a sister with down syndrome is also very touching. the show all together is not bad, it has lots of real messages. however, i think it needs to remember who it is, or it's going to become awfully hypocritical.
sorry about this rant lol this is just my opinion on the whole thing...i really like this season so far (although i didn't much care for the madonna episode..anyone else agree?)

It's funny you say that. I used to watch it because I found it to be horrible. In the same vein of "so bad, it's good" if you get my drift.

But now it's just bad. I didn't think a show could Jump the Shark so early.

I more meant the video itself. Not the guest spot. Like I am surprised she agreed to recreate Physical. But now that I think about, the woman must have **** tons of money. And everyone knows who she is. It's not like she NEEDS the exposure. Why not sit home relaxing and collecting royalties?
