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.

*sits on sap bench*

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.

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.

I first heard that version of the song when Dr. Greene died, and I bawled. It's almost reached "Hallelujah" levels of saturation for me, but I liked the happy (or at least bittersweet) setting in last night's episode.

I had never heard "To Sir" - anyone want to link me to a good original version?

I wanted them to save themselves. Plead their case to the principal. Have Tina's dad threaten to turn him.

Or Rachel's dads! I want to meet Rachel's dads, darn it!

Last night's ep felt messy, and I agree with kat p that too much was left unresolved. Ah well.

To Sir With Love from the movie of the same title.

Sidney Poitier is a teacher in a tough, working class English school. He makes a difference in their lives but is forced out for being impolitic. So...

isn't this "Glee" in a nutshell? I am entertained by the show, but lack of resolution and messiness are its hallmarks. Besides the singing!

I knew they weren't going to win right when Shue told them that if they only cared about winning they learned the wrong lesson. VA's choreo was pretty damn good tho the song has been WAY overdone. I wish they had more of a chorus during Queen and/or had gone the way of Shue and done a Queen medley.

I always thought that To Sir With Love was a song with a young girl talking to an older man that she had been in a relationship with.

It makes much more sense as a song choice for Glee, now.

eta: I'm familiar with the version by Petula Clark.

I was fortunate enough to have a number of "Sirs" in my youth...that song, and that version kills me every time.
