The Synopsis
Mr. Schuester splits the Glee Club into pairs to sing their favorite ballad, but when one kid gets sick, he's forced to step in and winds up in a sticky situation. Meanwhile, Finn and Quinn have to face the music when they have dinner with her parents. (Fox.com)

The Soundtrack

• Lean on Me (Bill Withers)
• Endless Love (Lionel Richie & Diana Ross)
• I'll Stand By You (The Pretenders)
• Young Girl (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap)
• Don't Stand So Close to Me (The Police)
• Crush (Jennifer Paige)
• [You're] Having My Baby (Paul Anka)

The Quotes

• Looks like my weekly letter to the Ohio Show Choir Committee finally paid off!
• Crap! She looks crazy right now. I know this look.
• I could totally sing this to Finn. But screw him if he thinks he’s taking the Diana Ross part from me.
• Gold stars are kind of my thing.
• You’re wrong, I’m right. You’re dumb, I’m smart.
• I don’t know why I find his stupidity charming . . . I guess that’s love for you.
• You’re a very good performer. He’s very good.
• This lesson has given me a lot to think about.
• The acoustics are horrible in the car. Put your seatbelt back on.
• There is no beating Judy’s ham.
• Settle down, cowboy. //  I have to go; they’ll think I’m pooping.
• Let me tell you a few things I learned from two years of intense psychotherapy and an esophagus transplant.
• Trust me. I’m a cautionary tale.

My Thoughts

• I hate that guy playing Quinn’s dad. He’s always a creepy jerk. Tonight’s episode was no exception.
• Poor Finn. That guy just cannot sing. He got me all teared up with his sonogram serenade, but why he is in Glee again?
• And when he told his mom? Oh my. Let the gushing begin.
• Quinn and Finn were pitch perfect (yes, cheesy pun intended) when they listened to Lean on Me. The twitches in their faces when they were moved, their stunned smiles and finally their relieved and happy-to-have-friends laughter was all so well done.
• Will’s crazy faces during Endless Love could not have possibly been a turn on. That is all.
• Also, his overly expressive and dramatic gestures and expressions during his mash-up? A bit much.
• Playing Extreme’s More Than Words on Suzy Peppers headphones after Will broke her heart was brilliant.
• Did you notice that Quinn’s dad turned off Finn’s music right after he sang the word “seed”? He was a total fill-in-the-blank, but I can’t really blame him for that move. I mean, really, Paul Anka? Really?
• Lean on Me is one of my very favorite songs, and I adore this Glee arrangement.

What did you think? Did you love all the music? Did you miss Sue? Are you rooting for Quinn to end up with Finn or Puck?

Who is as impressed by the transformation of Kelly Osbourne as I am?  Her performance on Dancing With The Stars is nothing short of fabulous whether it's the jive, samba, or waltz.  If you remember her early days…OK, even if you don't, you undoubtedly remember the photos…

…you'll agree she has come a long way.  Of course she is up against some tough competition.  I have to admit that having posters of Donny on my wall as a kid makes him the favorite in my eyes (yes I am that old), and honestly I don't think the talent is quite what it has been in seasons past.  I'm more excited to see the pros this year than the stars.

So who is your favorite to win this season?  And who is your favorite to win?

You sing like a girl – you know, in a good way.

Was this the best episode of Glee yet or what?? Oh my. I don't think it was the funniest, and I don't think it had the best songs – but this darned show made me cry!! Let's get to it:

The Synopsis
When Artie's chances of traveling with the group to Regionals are in question, Will challenges the kids to step out of their comfort zones and experience life from a different point of view. Meanwhile, the Glee Club hosts its first "diva-off" between Kurt and Rachel, and Sue reveals a softer side. (Fox.com)

The Soundtrack

• Defying Gravity (Wicked)
• Dancing With Myself (Billy Idol)
• Proud Mary (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

The Quotes

• I almost got in at Olive Garden, but they said I was too tall to be a bus boy.
• It’s my go-to shower song. It’s also my ring tone.
• I don’t think you realize how much harder Artie has it. // PREACH!
• It’s what I had leftover from my pool cleaning money . . . after I bought dip and numchucks.
• Wouldn’t it be awesome if it came out with a mohawk?
• I’m full of ennui. // So it’s really getting you down?
• Maybe one of these days you’ll find a way to create teaching moments without ruining my life.
• Those [ramps] are what I call lazy-makers.
• Nobody wants to buy from us. We’re losers. We’re in glee club and we’re in wheelchairs.
• Well, with this one dollar, we have . . . one dollar.
• I’m about to projectile express myself all over your Hushpuppies.
• I’m just really stressed about the bake sale.
• Well, congrats on the cool A or the high C or whatever.
• You think this is hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they’re going in another direction.
• And you are a terrible spy. You might try breathing to your nose sometime.
• I’m all about being a team player, but my family comes first.
• Your little sister’s here to see you!
• I would never try to push people away. Being in a chair kind of does that for you.

My Thoughts

• Wow – that jump rope routine? AWE-SOME! I know we’re supposed to hate the Cheerios a little bit, but I wanted to see more of that routine!
• Oh, Artie! You break my heart!
• Wait, what? Artie likes Tina? Since when? Did I miss this? (Seriously. Did you all notice this before? Where have I been?)
• How cute were Puck and Quinn in the food fight? I don’t normally love them, but in that scene – Loved. Them.
• WHY did they have to call it a “diva-off”? Ick.
• Whoa! Tina doesn’t have a stutter? I did not see that coming!
• I’m totally impressed that they learned how to maneuver those wheelchairs so well. Loved “Proud Mary.”
• It’s too bad Kurt blew his audition. I was hoping Mr. Schuester would decide to make it a duet. They both sang it beautifully. And made me even more depressed that I’m not seeing Wicked when it comes to town.
• Sue. What can I say about Sue? She made me cry. More than once. And not by saying, “You think that’s hard?” Wow.

Did you like this episode? Are you so happy that Glee is back?!

More Robert Pattinson for you fans!  I know, you've made up your mind, and if it didn't change after reading the entire Twilight series, then you are Team Edward for life.  Or at least until the next heartthrob comes along.

Do you show your Team Edward Pride?  Seriously what will you be sporting to the midnight showing of New Moon?

Will you have a Team Edward decal on your car to announce your arrival?

Will you be wearing your Team Edward t-shirt?

Or die hard fan that you are, will you take as your special guest this lifesize Robert Pattinson stand up cut out ?

…..I thought so!

Welcome to the new world order.

The Synopsis
Inspired the by the students, Will composes a mash-up for a very special occasion. Meanwhile, in a shocking reversal of roles, McKinley High's cool kids are dethroned in an "icy" fashion, and Sue shows off her softer side. (Fox.com)

The Soundtrack

• Bust a Move (Young MC)
• Thong Song (Sisqo)
• What a Girl Wants (Christina Aguilera)
• Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)
• I Could Have Danced All Night (My Fair Lady)

The Quotes

• No, no, no, I picked Hawaii because it’s far away from everybody that we know.
• I had a monster case of athlete’s foot a few years ago and had to have all my toenails removed. So if she steps on my toes, I might pass out.
• Okay…don’t really have any pamphlets on how to be popular…
• I know it was a dream, because there’s no way Rachel could have climbed up the wall outside my room with no shoes on.
• Are you questioning my bad-ass-edness? Have you seen my guns?
• Bros before hi-hos, dude. Don’t forget that.
• You sunk my battleship, Rod. You sunk it hard.
• What big showdown? I thought you and Sue had that last week.
• I know how picky you are about the products you put on your face.
• I can’t be caged in, Sue. That’s why I got my tiger tattoo.
• I’m a stud and I can’t even hang on to a girl like you. No offense.
• You’ve never been hit with a slushie, Mr. Shue?

My Thoughts

• I’m going to go on record and say that I’m a fan of Will’s singing and dancing. However, I’m not sure it’s what we call “appropriate” for him to be singing Bust a Move to high school girls or dancing with half the women teachers in that school.
• I liked it when Rachel sat up – literally – and took notice when Puck (or Noah, as she calls him) started playing the guitar. Isn’t that so true to life? What girl doesn’t love the Guitar Guy?
• Not nearly enough Kurt for me tonight. But the moments he had were brilliant. His face when Will tries to get him to bust a move and his touching hands with Mercedes during Sweet Caroline? Pitch perfect.
• You know what I like about this show? Besides the music and the teenage angst? The way they’re showing growth in the male characters. Last week Will learned to stand up for himself. This week, Ken grew a backbone and told Will exactly what I’ve wanted to say for two months now – back off, Mr. Married Man!
• Emma was beautiful in her new wedding dress. Almost like a red-headed, neurotic Audrey Hepburn. (And oooh! Emma can sing!)
• Sue and Will dancing? Made. My. Night.
• And Sue’s zoot suit? There are no words.
