The Glee Rumor Mill (5/3/11)

Well last night rumors were spreading and our DVR missed the first ten minutes of the show.

That being said last night they based the show around the classic album Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. The major problem I had going into this night to start is the fact that I'm not a fan of single artist theme nights. No matter who it is. That's not what this show is about. Plus so far the only artist they honored correctly without completely screwing up the pace and tone of the show was Madonna. While this episode wasn't as bad as the Britney Spears episode, not much can be that bad, this kinda bored me. Other than Britney and Artie breaking up and the big Sam and his family are homeless after his father lost his job reveal, what actually happened last night? For me it seemed like filler show to get us to the big prom and nationals episodes the next two weeks. That being said let's get into the music...

April & Will-Dreams
This is the one song that was in the first ten minutes of the show that didn't dvr last night. I had a feeling there was something missing because the whole show made no sense without seeing this. It set up the whole show. I caught the song on youtube this morning, and yeah it makes sense now, not that the performance was that good. I don't know why but as much as I love Kristin Chenoweth, she hasn't really sang a good song on this show at all. I know I'll get hell for saying that but it's true. Maybe it's her character. But every song seems the same she's always flirting with Will, no matter what. It loses something after awhile. This was not a good performance. Even though it was one of the songs I actually knew. C

Artie-Never Going Back Again
I love Artie, but it's a combination of the fact that I didn't know this song and it was hard to hear the words. Then I got distracted by Puck randomly walking behind him with a gutiar. I know this is a musical and we are supossed to suspend belief on stuff like this, but it was too random even for me. One thing I did like was the visual of all the other guys playing gutiars on the stage with Artie in the middle singing. He got his moment and that was cool. B-

Santana-Songbird
This is perfect xample of a song that I didn't know but the person singing it sang it so well it didn't matter. This was well done. It even won over Brittany's heart to a point. This was so sweet and it showed a completely different side of Santana than we're used to. She is a hopeless romantic deep down and she really loves Brittany. A

Finn and Quinn-I Don't Wanna Know
How do you resolve a fight on Glee? Sing it out! It's worked many times in past with friends, why not try it with relationships? Maybe it was me but I don't really like them singing together. Not the greatest chemistry which they should have. It just doesn't work for me at all. This was a fun song though, just didn't sound great at all. B

Rachel-Go Your Own Way
Ah finally another song I actually know! This was really good. Further proof why she is one of the best singers on this show. She had the attitude to pull this song off. It didn't feel fake or forced. It set up alot of storyline with her singing to Finn (who was playing drums on the song) right in front of Quinn. This blew me away big time. A

Sam and New Directions-Don't Stop
When the music started on this song I was so excited. I'm a MAJOR fan of this song. Always have been. A VERY fitting song to end this show, especially sing Sam was singing to his brother and sister and then it turned into ND signing to the three of them. This was a well done performance and it showed how you share the lead of a song. It was a case where you didn't need just one lead singer. A+

The show definately finished stronger than it started. Next week is prom as the season is coming to very quick close. So close to nationals and it's only going to get more interseting.
