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?

Halloween X Factor Fashion!

Ahh Scarecrow! Copyright ITV

What a fright the X Factor gave me last night, and that was just the contestants and their song choices.

Thriller it was not, Like a bat out of hell? More like, I'm in hell- why can't Louis get it right with Wagner?!

That said, Rebecca as always was a triumph, even if the stylists made her look like a Spanish dancer in her lace and velvet dress. I'll forgive that, because she would look stunning in a bin bag.

As would Cheryl Cole, which is why I presume she's given up on being edgy now and just sticks to being pretty. Seriously, the same hair, make-up and jewellery as last week is just dull.

Dannii on the other hand, is turning out to be the STYLE queen of the show with a quiff so high, Jedward must of wondered who had stolen their hairspray. She's innovative, cool and different each week, which is tres refreshing.

What was also great last night was seeing Cher in a whole new light. No gangster swagga, just her in a Morticia style dress, complete with massive eyelashes singing a song which gave me goosebumps.



Katie, however gave me chills for all the wrong reasons. Dear lord what were they thinking with the cloud hair and eyelashes so big you couldn't even see her eyes. That was a hell of a lot of white eyeliner to contend with, and teamed with a so-so song, I think she could be in trouble this week.

Same with Aiden and his increasingly scary singing style. He's too intense now to enjoy his performances, but the guyliner was uber hot. He'll get the female vote, no worries there.

Just like One Direction, who seem to get stronger each week and I have to admit, I'm becoming a big fan, despite me writing them off at the beginning. What do you know, the dudes can really sing!

Not sure about the pink eyeliner and strange claw marks on the neck though, it was like they'd gone to town on Katie and had no creativity left for the boys! Tut tut.

Matt too, didn't seem to have had much done to him for Halloween either and his choice of song left me with a cushion over my eyes. He's still the fave to win though, so chances are he'll sail through once again this week.

I'm not sure the same can be said for Trayc though, why she sung that song was beyond me. But finally, after four weeks they got her styling right- she's a curvy lady and to put her in skin tight frocks was a big mistake.

That red dress last night with vampy black lips however, was stunning and people finally saw how gorge she was! That said I think she could be in trouble tonight as well if people just don't get her...

Paige may struggle too, even though Back to Black was a clever song choice for this soulful and Diva-ish contestant. He's likeable, can sing, but will I think be eclipsed each week by the stronger competition.

Lastly, Belle Amie seem to be sinking each week in my eyes. Dannii was right, the vocals were off and it was an odd choice of song I think. I loved the hair and make-up, but four practically identical white dresses? Come on, think a bit outside the box why don't you?!

Giving Mary horns though, I'll admit she looked lovely and the styling team did their job well. Great song choice and still one of my faves to go all the way. She's got Tesco behind her for goodness sake and boy can she sing.

What did you think of last night's show? Who will go and who will stay... you decide!
