Super Sunday Late Night Glee Return (2/6/11)

With the sounds of Katy Perry and the sight of dancing cheerleaders, Glee is back. Due to the fact that the Packers won the Super Bowl, Glee didn't air here in Milwaukee till after 11. That was a little late for us, and probably alot of people, especially if you had work this morning. (Note: This is why I think that the ratings were lower than expected, most Gleeks went to bed, DVRed the show and watched it today, either due to being emotionally exhausted from the game or just needed to goto bed.) That being said, the show was an extended editon of a hour and 20 minutes and honestly it didn't feel it at all, which I appreciated. The storyline was actually alot of fun and something different, especially having the football players finally understand what the Glee club has to put up with everyday. Between that and Sue and the human cannon, this was a wild show. Let's get into the performances (not including California Gurls because that wasn't a performance, just a dance number.)

Rachel & Puck-Need You Now
I saw the video for this a couple of nights before the show aired and really loved it and couldn't wait to see it air. Seeing in context was awesome. I love this song, and seeing Coach Beiste singing along made me feel good about this idea. After the song though, I really wanted to see Puck take out someone with the gutiar Double J style. A

The Football Players-She's Not There
Okay I will say, as a song this was fantastic. As a performance I was very very distracted by the zombie makeup. I completely understood where they were going with this whole thing, but wow, it was weird to watch. B+

The Warblers-Bills, Bills, Bills
You know following the show's storyline and knowing that this song was on this episode, I was trying to figure out how the hell they were going to fit it in. Well, it was felt like random filler. The song was really good, can't take that away from them. But this song didn't feel in this show at all. I'm convinced the only reason this song was here was so that Kurt can sing a song and that all the girls and gay men can enjoy their heartthrob Blaine. B

New Directions and The Football Players-Thriller/Heads Will Roll
The halftime show I wish we had during the Super Bowl. This was so much fun. The dancing was insane, the singing was fantastic and overall it was energetic. On a side note, I love the fact that the Cherrios, well former Cherrios, Santana, Quinn and Brittney pretty much told Sue to go screw so they could be involved in this. Also giving Artie the lead was a stroke of genius. One last thing, I didn't know that Finn could sing that deep. A+
