For fans of Sue Sylvester, Jane Lynch does a fake iPhone ad. [link]
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.
Kurt - he has an eyebrow and he knows how to use it.

The original singer was Lulu.
Hi, folks. I briefly delurked in the Delurking thread last fall, and I'm delurking again to add my several cents about the finale. I'm with most of you -- the show is not about the sense-making, but it's just so darn fun that I can't stop watching.
I liked the Journey medley and was glad that it wasn't entirely the Rachel/Finn show (but where was the Kurt solo, hmm?), but was also glad that they didn't win. The Vocal Adrenaline number was slick and overproduced, so it's no wonder they won. LOVED "To Sir, With Love" and "Over the Rainbow." I cried big, salty tears when Quinn had her baby and pretty much whenever anyone sang anything because I too am a sap of monumental proportions. I had no problem with Sue being the savior of the glee club. I liked the way she justified it, too -- very in keeping with her character.
Random thoughts: Kurt needs to sing more and cry less. Love his voice, love his dad, love him, but love him most when he's being his sweetly snarky self. Love Artie's voice most of all -- he needs to sing in every episode (and how cute was he with his slicked-back hair?). Could watch Brittany dance all the time. Glad Mike and Matt are finally getting a few lines. Also -- fastest adoption ever!
Could watch Brittany dance all the time.
Seriously. I learned only recently that she danced the Singles Ladies dance on tour with Beyoncé and now it all makes sense.

Given the speed of delivery, I'm not surprised.
I'm glad I don't live in Glee time or I'd be dead by now.

Yeah, I found that out after she turned it out on Can't Touch This.
