So what happened to me today? Absolutely NOTHING. I had a hair cut and that was basically it. I didn't have tutoring, and I didn't have work so as you can guess it was a pretty dull day. My only autistic thing that happened was me being unable to sleep last night due to the being alone thing. Obviously I'll be okay tonight since I'm not alone now that my parents are home again, but still it really annoys me. (Please Note: I was okay for sleeping for much of the past couple nights, but last night I just was not so hot. Don't know why, just wasn't).
ANYWHO, tonight on Glee it was such a fantastic episode. The Glee-clubbers had to choose a song that best represented them, who they felt they were and who their voice was. Rachel Berry was unfortunately losing her voice and it culminated when she tried singing her piece for the assignment, Miley Cyrus' The Climb. However, instead of a beautiful piece from Lea Michele as always, it was extremely off key, parts were barely singing, it was clear though that Lea can really act well at pretending to sing poorly, otherwise it would not have sounded as "not perfect" as it sounded. Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) performed a stunning rendition of "Jessie's Song" by Rick Springfield, due to his continuing affection for Rachel and wanting for her to pick him over Jessie (Jonathan Groff).
The other side of this episode was a focus around Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) feeling rejected by his father who is taking Finn to sporting events and not inviting him. Feeling dejected, his tries to change his flamboyant self, into a more butch version going so far as to dress in flannel and overalls like his father, sings "Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp for his Glee assignment, and even tries to pretend dating Brittany (Heather Morris) and goes so far as to make out with her. It isn't until his father tells him about another sporting event he's taking Finn to, that Kurt finally tells him off and then goes off to the stage and sings "Rose's Turn" replacing Rose with his own name, from Gypsy: A Musical Fable, that his father walks in telling him that it was an amazing performance and he could get into that sort of genre (show tunes). Kurt and his father reconcile, with his father telling him he still loves him, and the two leave.
Rachel eventually regains her voice and ends off the show singing "One" by U2 at first with a friend of Finn's, Sean, who had been paralyzed in a football game but at the same time realized even though he could no longer do football, he still had other talents. It was through this that Rachel was able to regain her confidence and realize even if she lost her voice, it wasn't the only thing that defined her. The scene then shifted over to the Glee Club performing the song, and then ending the show by returning to the two singing.
There was also a brief storyline about Puck (Mark Salling) trying to regain his bully reputation at the school, and he tries to win over Mercedes who has become popular by becoming a cheerleader. He sings to her "The Lady is a Tramp" by Sammy Davis Jr. and is able to win her over. This however results in a duet between Mercedes and Puck's former girlfriend Santana (Naya Rivera) sing "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy and Monica. Upon realizing that Puck had been using her popularity to become a bully again, Mercedes resigns from the Cheerios and breaks up with Puck.
Personally I loved the episode because it helped communicate the message of having confidence in yourself and just being who you are and not letting one thing define you.
Anyway, I hope you liked my review of the episode. I hope the writing wasn't too horrible.
