Re: Glee -- Silly Love Songs -- 02-08-11

and this was just posted by Kristin Dos Santos
Summer vacation starts early this year for McKinley High.

Beginning Friday, May 21, in Las Vegas, the stars of Glee are hitting the road for the Glee Live! In Concert North American tour. Thirteen castmembers will perform in 16 cities in the U.S. and Canada. Tickets go on sale to the general public next Saturday, Feb. 19.

So which of your favorites are touring?

MORE: Which Glee stars were MIA from the Super Bowl commercial—and why?

Joining new castmembers Chord Overstreet and Darren Criss to perform such favorites as "Empire State of Mind," "Toxic," "My Life Would Suck Without You," "It's My Life" and "Don't Stop Believin'"in the North American engagement are stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Golden Globe winner Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mark Salling, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris and Harry Shum Jr.

Wait, don't these kids have a chaperone? Apparently not: Matthew Morrison, who plays the glee club's director, Mr. Schue, is hitting the road solo this summer to promote his own album.

May 21: Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay Event Center)

Seems like forever since the last new episode.

I'm not as down on the show as alot of people are here, but it's definitely not up to par with season 1.

I agree 100%. This season just isn't clicking for me. The music choices haven't really done much for me, honestly. Tonight's episode will mark the 3rd Katy Perry song of this season. It's a bit much really. Granted, they didn't sing California Gurls but it was still featured.

Re: Glee -- Silly Love Songs -- 02-08-11

For me, I wish they had performed California Gurls. It sounded good, but I can listen to the record (or better yet, watch the video... yumm) without Glee. I wanted to see Glee's performance of it -- especially if Quinn could pull it off (she has the look). I've watched the video of Firework to familiarize myself with the song in preparation for tonight's episode. Decent music and decent message. I'm looking forward to seeing what Glee does with it. And as for too much Katy Perry, well, I'm late to the party so I'm not quite ready to say I've had too much to her or her songs. As it pertains to Glee, Teenage Dream is one of the performances I've saved. I've rewatched it quite a bit.

That was another great performance of a Queen classic.

Re: Glee -- Silly Love Songs -- 02-08-11

I'm sure I'll get shit for it, but I really enjoyed this ep.

Felt like a return to more "realistic" high school problems, with a nice mix of mature and immature behavior. I thought everyone had nice character moments, and no one couple dominated the spotlight.

Also, the music was just awesome. Really enjoyed the arrangements, and I'm probably in the minority but I love it when Lea Michele gets a chance to tear into a song, and since I really like "Fireworks" anyway, it had plenty of goosebump moments for me.

Best line was from Santana: "I've kissed Finn. It's not worth a buck." Runner-up was Brittany's "I'm going to graduate!" exclamation

I liked this episode more than the Super Bowl episode. It was good to see Santana and Brittany in other clothes besides their Cheerios uniforms.

Although Candy-striped Santana was yummy.

Lauren throwing Santana around like a rag doll and then just getting sent back to class cracked me up

I thought the episode was much improved too. I didn't really care of the Superbowl episode too much but this had a lot of cool stories going on at once and I liked the Gap sequence.

This was one of the better episodes this season. I actually enjoyed most of it.

Re: Glee -- Silly Love Songs -- 02-08-11

This ep was not my cup of tea. But I'm not going to rag on it, so I'll say I did enjoy the Santana bits. Her smackdown in the beginning, crying with Brit, the vo and candy strpper outfit. It all worked great. One thing I really like about Santana, and Brittany previously, was when they are playing cold bitches and then you see them smiling and laughing, usually in the background, during the performances.

Also, Mike's dancing in the hall with Artie was amazing, as usual. I only wish it was edited a little better because I felt that got in the way of his performance.

Definitely the high point for the episode for me. Plus, hearing a Katy Perry song sung by someone who can actually sing was also pretty cool.

Great episode tonight. The Lauren/Santana fight was hilarious.

Agreed...really good stuff. Puck's had the best songs of the last two episodes IMO. The Gap performance by the Warblers was solid too.

There's something about the way Blaine moves when he's singing and moving around that bugs me.
