Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants

OK, usually when there's a product tie in for a show I'm all cynical and annoyed by the merchandising. Whereas last night's Glee had me desperately rifling through computers at work today until I could find one with a recent enough version of iTunes to buy "Somebody to Love." And then playing it on a loop all afternoon as I worked.
I like the Glee cast version better than Queen's original.
oooh. heresy.
I liked their version, but I prefer Queen's.
oooh. heresy.
I know! I fully expect Freddie Mercury to rise from the grave this Halloween and bitch-slap me for it. But I've never felt compelled to listen to him sing the song 15 times in a row.
My favorite version (until last night) was the Mercury tribute with George Michael singing lead. So I guess I'm guilty of heresy too.
Because seriously, that was amazing.
And once again, Matthew Morrison turns into Super Hawt every time he opens his mouth to sing. *fans self*
I was
begging
the television to make them do the entire song, Barb. BEGGING.
Poor Joe. I think he felt left out.
I like Community. I wasn't expecting too, because comedies are harder for me to engage in than dramas, but it was fun. I really loved the scene where they're enacting their "conversation" piece. I watched via Hulu.
Matt, I think I'll sit in your corner, although I haven't purchased the song. I missed the beginning of the episode, so I need to go watch that.
I can't say I'm too impressed with The Office so far this season. But maybe they're just taking a couple of episodes to set up the season's dynamic. Like Jim realizing that managing isn't as simple as it looks.
And I'm very much looking forward to next week.
Pam and Jim's wedding
has all sorts of potential for comic disaster.
I didn't know Dwight could reach new levels of downright evil. But he seems to be.
Finally got around to seeing this week's Glee. Oh, my, was that good!! As much as I loved "Somebody to Love," my heart went to KC's version of "Maybe This Time," which will be my go-to audition piece if I ever audition for a musical again (I used it in hs for the one musical I actually got cast in). She just nailed it and didn't suffer in comparison to Liza.
I hope that they include it and "Alone" on the cast album.
I finally watched "Community" yesterday and liked it a lot.
as much as I really love Dead Poet's, it's certainly ripe for parody.
Am I the only one that thought the crazy Cheno country song was the best number of Wednesday's Glee? Her "Maybe This Time" was a good performance but I didn't think it fit her voice too well. "Somebody to Love" was an undeniably awesome ensemble number and I am in full support of it, but watching Cheno dance around and belt country-pop made me want to buy 5 Cheno-does-country-pop CDs. It was a perfect number for her.
I'm trying very hard not to buy any of the Glee songs at $1.29 a pop and instead wait until they release full soundtracks at a discount. But it's hard! (You can get all of "Alone" on iTunes, Aims, if you want...)
I loved the episode and thought it was the best one yet. The show is feeling more and more like
Popular
as it goes on, which is a compliment. I thought
Popular
was amazing in its total ridiculousness.
