Glee, that sh*t that just don't quit

Goodness, Glee drives me crazy. I generally do not like associating myself with the show, until they have an episode like they did last night.

Damn, they produce some catchy numbers.

Maybe it's because of my somewhat musical background (all three of those musicals I was in during high school), but I can really get around a great musical performance. My favorite part of Glee is even without stable plot points and character development it has the power to breathe life into old songs and give them a different perspective geared towards a younger audience.

And even though I may gab alongside those who do not appreciate Glee from a television standpoint, I refuse to look at the music like another version of Kidz Bop. I truly believe whoever produces its (Ryan Murphy? Isn't he some sort of Renaissance Man or something?) and those who sing are pretty genuinely talented. Gosh, if only I was as cool as Lea Michele.

So please, take a little guilty pleasure in a couple of great numbers from last night's episode. Unfortunately, just because I liked these songs does NOT mean I'll be tuning in next week. But dammit, I will soak in the gloriousness of Rihanna and Usher for now.
