Um, is that a ukelele?

I'm suprised they didn't do the Wonderful World part of it.

The episode I saw ended right at the end of Over the Rainbow. Did anything happen after that?

I've only heard it as the medley, starting with Finding Forrester. I can send a version to brawk.

ETA: From Wikipedia:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's album Facing Future, released in 1993, included a ukulele medley of "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World", used in several films, television programs, and commercials. The song reached #12 on Billboard's Hot Digital Tracks chart the week of January 31, 2004 (for the survey week ending January 18, 2004).

I had no idea it had been so widely used. I blush to admit I never heard it until Jason Castro did it on American Idol '08.

“Not dead yet!”

To Sir and Somewhere Over the Rainbow! A one-two punch to the tear ducts!

Yep. I've always loved To Sir and that version just killed me.

I first heard it in a CA Lottery commercial, then on AI. I remember I was hot because I thought Jason Castro had buffed the words which was just gah 'cause who doesn't know the words to that song? But then I heard the Hawaiian dude's version and realized he actually sang it that way, so Jason didn't biff the words. Anyway, not my favorite version of the song, but I thought Puck and Will did a lovely job of it. I enjoyed the Bohemian Rhapsody/Quinn's baby scene, although I don't believe for a second that VA would ever do that as their championship number.

Overall, I wanted more from the finale. More resolution of the Jesse/Rachael/Finn triangle. Bigger and better performances from the clubs - they've done better production numbers for Shue's whack ass assignments. I am highly ambivalent about Rachel's mom adopting Quinn and Puck's baby. And what about Terri? Obviously, she wouldn't ever get the child, but she was a huge part of that plot early on. Not even a peep out of her in the finale? I'd have rather caught up with her than Quinn's mom. I didn't care for the Sue Saves Glee, even though I figured they'd go there.

I wanted to love this ep, but aside from the birth/Queen mash up and the kids very sweet rendition of To Sir With Love, nothing really grabbed me.

I wanted Kurt to have a bigger part in the competition songs. Especially seeing as his French songfest help win the cheerleader title. I'm very protective of Kurt. His talents did not get to shine as they should have.

Anything else I want to pick on, I have to stop and repeat my Glee Mantra - This is surface fun, don't dig too deep.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I liked that they didn't win. Vocal Adrenaline really was better. I was confused by Olivia Newton John. I thought she liked Sue.

I liked that they didn't win. I didn't like that Sue rode to their rescue. I wanted them to save themselves. Plead their case to the principal. Have Tina's dad threaten to turn him. Rally the school. Realize that they didn't need the choir room/model UN room, that they could practice anywhere and enjoy each other even if not as an officially sanctioned school club. Eh, I sill love the show.
