Gleebasing: Ruining Your Favorite '90s Hits, One Hammer at a Time

GleeBadRep585c.jpg

HIGH NOTES

· Rachel's rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with Puck, Finn and Jesse St. James at the ballet bar. Clearly the best song of the night -- even Monteith sounded great.

· Molly Shannon as Brenda Castle, the school's new astronomy teacher and badminton coach -- although, why does she, like Chenoweth's character, have to be an alcoholic?

· Any instance where Sue Sylvester slams her peers ("I may buy a small diaper for your chin because it looks like a baby's small ass.")

LOW NOTES

· Schue's classroom "Ice Ice Baby" number. Another instance of Harry Shum, Jr. being wasted.

· Any instance where Sue Sylvester parodies an actual music video (Olivia Newton-John, Madonna) or taps into her vulnerability.

· "U Can't Touch This" in the library...in Hammer pants. Enough said.

· Why haven't we seen Rachel's gay dads yet? Have Sean Hayes and Martin Short not been available the same week?

GLEESARY

Glist - (n.) A weekly ranking of Schue's glee club based on a hotness quotient of sexual promiscuity. You get a point for each act of perpetuated depravity.

    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.
