Gleebasing: Ruining Your Favorite '90s Hits, One Hammer at a Time
"If rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram," rapped Schue in last night's episode of Glee -- or, for those of you that have been paying attention to Will's subtle style transformation, last night's 60-minute Gap commercial. (Seriously, when will Schu & the Gang start remixing holiday jingles in khakis and striped scarves?) The latest Gleeinstallment, "Bad Episode Reputation," was important because it ruined all of the '90s hits you ironically love, found a use for Jonathan Groff that did not involve a giant cheeseburger costume and eked more feelings from Sue Sylvester. And, for the first time, Quinn's pregnancy showed!

Pay attention -- there will be a pop quiz.
By now, you've realized that Glee soundtracks don't just drop from that giant gym locker in the sky. They are lovingly auto-tuned until the singers' voices are completely unrecognizable. And before that, the songs are carefully designed around a flimsy plot -- like last night's.
When Sue found out that the New Directions had posted a video of her jamming out to Olivia Newton John's "Physical" video online,she was steamed, and took the evidence to the principal, who threatened to punish the entire Glee club unless Schue could identify the culprit.
As expected, Schue's first order of business was distributing a Vanilla Ice song sheet to his class, who challenged him with the dance-fighting words, "This song should be arrested for the crime of sucking." Quick, somebody kick it. Schue's going to show everyone how flavorful these beats still are with another soft Schue rap performance.
Meanwhile, Sue Sylvester told Emma that Schue had been sleeping around on her OCD-addled ass. McKinley High students silently ridiculed Sylvester about her embarrassing video, until she was forced to make a heavy-handed realization about What Really Matters with the help of her Down syndrome sister. Rachel found herself in another love triangle while a roughly-drawn plot involving Hammer pants played out in the library. And Olivia Newton-John!
Now onto what really matters...

One of Rachel's gay Dad's is Black. tyler Perry maybe, Wesley Snipes, Lavar Burtin?
This is, without a doubt, the absolute worse arctical that I've ever read. The actors in this show have talent, how can you deny that? My advise: stop reviewing something when you have no idea what you're talking about.
Sure, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Olivia Newton-John, are all easy to translate into Gleek. But, what about more hardcore rock gods? Iggy Pop? Alice Cooper? I'm not saying GLEE will never cover "School's Out for Summer" (there is a season finale coming, right?), but what about full episodes devoted to these guys? Somehow, I don't think they're the right demographic. We come up with some other suggestions that may not make it on GLEE - but the plot possibilities would be amazing: http://thesmogger.com/2010/05/05/glee-in-the-hands-of-a-rock-junkie-what-a-scary-place-weve-foun/
I would really prefer that the show went back to it's roots trying to make this group of losers into a competitive singing troup. all the guest starring and video renditions are just detracting from the plot.
Some of the comments here crack me up.
