I wanted to save my Glee post for Titillating Tuesday, but I can’t wait. I’m in love with this show and I want the world to know.
The storyline of this theater style sitcom/drama is at times so sweet and sensitive that you can hardly stand it, but with the comedy styling of Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester you can barely go a minute without laughing out loud. Glee doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, and it handles them with such grace and humor that it’s impossible to not get invested. I’m kind of glad they’ve shied away from the storyline between the Glee coach and his wife, because I don’t really care… I want to know everything about the kids!
Lea Michele
The cast is phenomenal. Every single member of the glee club is an extraordinary artist, but for me… it’s all about Lea Michele as Rachel Berry. It’s not often that someone so beautiful is overshadowed by her talent. Even without her good looks, she’s got a voice that would make you want her all to yourself.
In the most recent episode of Glee, Lea Michele and her adorably faggy co-star Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel, sang the song Defying Gravity from the Broadway musical Wicked. I cannot stop listening to the recordings! There’s one with just Chris, and then one with just Lea, and then one of them as a duet, and all three are on repeat all the time lately. They are so effing good that I might die. If you see me straining myself in song while riding around the streets of Seattle, chances are I’m singing along with Defying Gravity by one or both of these great gleekins.
I can’t wait to see what happens next week!
A high F is totally in your range, dear.
True that. I murder high F!
(Um… sometimes in the good way, and sometimes the other way.)
In this facebook world I never remember to check blogs anymore, but when I saw your gmail status as “Defying Gravity” I laughed because it’s stuck in my head right now. Yeah, Glee is amazing. Jonathan and I were talking about why this week was even better than usual, and it’s totally true–focusing on the kids rather than the adults is the way to go. I really, really don’t like watching Will’s wife. I’m sure it’s supposed to be that way, but with so many great characters (like Puck. We love Puck) why waste the time??
Peter has been sick for the past two days and I’ve been wanting him to just SIT STILL and rest for a while…regular screen time doesn’t do it for him, but he will sit on my lap and watch Kurt & Rachel over and over…
Hope you’re doing well, by the way. You look great!
Peter has great taste, obviously! I hope he gets better soon and let’s his mom get some rest. I’m doing wonderfully, thank you so much! Speaking of forgetting to check blogs, I think I’ll go take a gander at yours!
