Glee in New York!

Glee "Original Song" Copyright E4

I’ve just caught up with Monday’s fab episode of Glee, which saw our plucky show choir perform original songs and win Regionals. Yay!

One of the best episodes this season- it literally had it all. A fantastic Quinn v Rachel battle, Santana serenading Sam with Trouty Mouth (hilarious doesn’t even begin to cover it), Blaine and Kurt finally hooking up and of course, Sue punching a judge.

I cried for Rachel when Quinn confirmed her and Finn were an item once more, cheered when New Directions won the competition and bopped along when The Warblers rocked to Pink.

The altogether more exciting news however, is that our Glee kids have been spotted filming the show’s finale in New York!

I have seen Rachel in her signature beret and a technicolor coat, Santana rocking a skin tight stripey dress and Quinn in a bright orange trench, complete with baby blue dress.

This complete mismatch of clothes can only mean one thing…. They are taking over this city, baby!

I’ve also seen pics of Rachel and Finn appearing to re-unite, as said boy is seen presenting the lovely Berry with some flowers! Hurray!

So where does that leave Quinn? Well, the natural choice is putting her back with Sam, leaving Santana to openly come out as gay.

As for Brittany, I’m torn on whether I want her to stay with Artie or give things a go with Santana. Puck and Lauren however need to remain together forever- they are the best coupling on this show by a mile!

As the episodes start gearing up towards a fantastic finale, I am now super hyped for Nationals- how about you?!

Last Night's TV Reviewed

Great British Hairdresser: Copyright Channel 4

Sorry I have been neglectful of the blog peeps- I've been a busy bee! But I'm back now so lets get down to business... last night's TV!

Glee: As you may have seen from my Twitter explosion, I had a lot of love for last night's episode. Rachel finally ditching the baby fringe, Santana's cute pink bow headband and Brittany's entire wardrobe! Seriously, she should have quit the Cheerios ages ago if we get to see her off-duty style; one word- fierce.

Great British Hairdresser: Loved this episode- I swear James gets meaner every week, but that only makes for better entertainment! Lily Allen made an appearance this week, after James appeared in her show last week (confused?!) and promptly gave the stylists a grilling. The era inspired looks were amazing and what a great challenge for the week. I still dislike Daniel for his arrogance, whereas Helen is the front runner for me right now.

Oh My Glee...Thriller gave me thrills!

Glee rules Thriller!

Finally, an episode which made me happy to be a fan again! Not that I don’t love Glee with every fibre of my being, but you can’t deny this season has been a bit hit and miss so far.

Thankfully it’s right back on top thanks to last night’s amazing Superbowl episode. Highlights included:

Thriller/Head will Roll mash up: I may have cheated and watched this when it first aired in the States, but it was no less impressive seeing it last night. Great atmosphere, fantastic costumes, amazing vocals from Santana (she really can sing!) and dance moves that are sure to go down in Glee’s history as some of the best. Loved, loved, loved this song and to me, it’s the Don’t Stop Believing of this series.

Sue’s Rage: Give this woman every award going; Jane Lynch is a legend. Her portrayal of Sue going off the rails and trashing everywhere was hilarious, as was her new attempt to reach a Cheerio high by shooting Brittany out of a cannon. Her shameless emotional blackmail attempts to get the plucky cheerleader to indeed put herself in mortal peril were so funny to watch, but the clincher this week for me was Sue's response to how she was coping with her downfall- 'I've been drinking a lot of bleach' Lol.

Finn and Quinn Shocker: Again, I may have peaked at spoilers which hinted at this romance, but it was still quite a shock to see these two puckering up again. Finn’s reaction was probably the best… utter confusion mixed with pure lust. This is going to rumble for a few weeks me thinks.

Brittany: She deserves a mention all on her own for just being Brittany. Some stellar quotes this week from my favourite character- 'I don't want to die' followed by 'sucks to be you' were particular favourites. As for Sue's blackmail attempts with a cannon picture saying it missed Brittany- Heather's reaction was suburb. I'm so glad the three lead Cheerios ditched Sue for Glee in the end, it was one bit of slush I appreciated.

Karofsky reforming to type: I like how they have developed this character and putting the jocks with the Glee club was a great idea. Thankfully, Glee went against what it has become known for (slushy goodness) and had Karofsky turn his back on Finn and Glee right at the end, despite having a great time performing with them all.

Puck and Rachel Duet: There’s a real fan base out there for this couple and I’m a big fan after seeing how wasted Rachel and Finn were as pairing. As he gets closer to ex Quinn, surely a Puckberry reunion can’t be far off the mark?

Glee? Not so much last night…

Did you enjoy Glee last night?

I got what the producers were trying to do, really I did, but I was really depressed by last night’s Glee.

This coming from its super-duper number one fan as well, so you know when I start criticising the show which gave us the most amazing Britney tribute last week, it’s a sign of concern.

Ok, so I doubt Ryan Murphy will be rattled to hear I wasn’t a fan of the episode, but generally- am I alone in thinking last night was just too depressing and maybe, just maybe, a tad too religious?

The boyf, who religiously (no pun intended) watches Glee every week with me, switched off half way through to read a maths book, now if that’s not a sign that the show is going off at the deep end, then I don’t know what is!

Yes, I’m exaggerating- I’m sure next week the show will be back to its Glee-ful best, especially seeing as Rocky Horror and Michael Jackson songs are coming up later in the season!

On a positive side to this episode, Brittany ’s Miley Cyrus comment was awesome, as was Rachel’s cute tartan poncho and sunshine checked summer dress; she really shows how baby dressing is done well…

Till next time…

Glee: Bigger, better and more Gleeful than ever!

Glee is back: Sunshine is my new fave!

I didn’t think it was possible to love Glee more than I already did, but last night’s season opener was such a triumph, I’m literally counting down the hours until the next episode...

Finn looked hotter than ever, Santana got some laughs with her new fake boobs, Brittany just excelled at being Brittany and the triumphant return of Quinn to head Cheerio were all favourable highlights.

Add into the mix a super annoying Rachel and Sue Sylvester back to her scheming best with Will (more on that unlikely pairing later) and Glee is sure to break all ratings records for S2.

First things first though- how much weight has Lea Michelle lost? I'm loving the new fringe and less 'cutesy' wardrobe (although socks and loafers will never work Rachel, take note) but to me she's looking a bit too skinny.

Maybe that's why she was so intimidated by newcomer, Sunshine. Not only can this gal belt a tune ('Listen' was utterly spellbinding and 'Telephone' was just plain hilarious) but she can also work the Geek chick look to perfection.

Huge glasses, berets, stripy socks and cute pinafores; she's basically a cuter version of Rachel and much more likable.

Speaking of likable characters, Tina and Mike paired up was a surprising twist for the start of S2 and I have high hopes for seeing more of his abs as we go on... yum.

New character Sam made little impression on me though, despite the Bieber haircut, killer bod and OMG Angelina lips- hilariously noticed by Puck may I add. Maybe he'll grow on me, but right now I could do without the distraction!

The short lived friendship between Will and Sue was entertaining for a while, but I kept wanting her to pick on his hair, his enthusiasm, his annoying habit of always doing the right thing, anything which would make me LOL basically.

Thankfully the two are already back at war, just in time for the Britney themed episode that's to air next week. I've seen the previews, I've read the reviews and yes Glee fans, it really is that good.

Till next time...

Glee is back!

Glee Returns

Omg Glee is back tonight and I for one am uber excited for many reasons.

Firstly, the trailer they have been running for the past few weeks features a new nemesis for Sue, A Britney tribute and Kurt rocking a PVC mac, which unfortunately doesn’t shield him from being slushied. Brilliant.

Normally I watch US shows when they air in America, but not Glee, oh no- I have waited just like you to see the brand spanking new series.

Partly because I twigged late that it had already begun its second run in the States and partly because I wanted to wait...

Ok, no it was the first reason only- I had missed the starting block and hate catching up mid-way through.

So what’s to come? Well, we can expect cameos from Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears herself in the first half of the series alone.

Ahh, think of all the fashion I will have to review… oh it’s a tough life. Full rundown tomorrow!
