We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I liked the whole Acafella plotline. Very fun to see the rival guys (Will and Ken, Finn and mohawk guy) bonding over music, and they were all really good, too! Also fun to see everyone reject Sandy except when they thought he could get them Josh Groban.

Speaking of, I loved that throwaway scene with him flirting with Will's mom, and then the line by his wife ("Maybe she fell and hit her head again?") which explained the scene.

They'd better give us a payoff number by the end of the year with Will's dad singing, damnit, otherwise why bother to cast Victor Garber in the role? I wanna see Booth/Jesus/Spydaddy singing!!!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

She's a terrible actress, though. I don't want to be mean, but I don't think that her voice is good enough to make up for it. That scene where Kurt came out to her was painful.

Is she a bad actress, or was it that dialogue? I cringed at every word. I'm not sure if Meryl Streep could have pulled that off.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I'm in the middle of the episode, but how is it that Matthew Morrison turns from a sort of generic-looking attractive guy into a SEX GOD when he sings and dances? Damn him.

at first, I blamed the writing, but no one else's scenes are as bad as hers.

How about "Golddigger" wearing those jeans and the tight t-shirt?

Guh.

Yes, that was the beginning of my downfall.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You know, I think it may be that there's a sort of earnestness there. Like, "I'm going to sing and dance to this song! I like this song! Enjoy this song with me, won't you?" that's not trying to be HAWT or campy.

I find JT can pull this off sometimes too, and I'm disturbed by that.
