Glee is going down and American Idol WAY UP!

Glee has gone way down in terms of subject matter this year. I used to get really excited about watching it but now I am reaching a point where I don't care that I skip watching it. I am beginning to lose a lot of respect for the show because what ever story lines they do have seem to focus all around sex. I purposely missed last week's episode because Sex and drinking were way overglorified and it was disgusting. The preview I saw on Entertainment Tonight really turned me off toward wanting to watch it.



Last night's episode was not much better in my honest opinon. I feel that the theme of sex is over riding the whole point of the show which is about the Glee club and how they do amazing things. There have been very few memorable musical numbers this season and mixed with lack luster plots or very little plot what soever I am just starting to lose hope in a show I really used to love.



The dynamic of couples seems to be really off this season too. Let's compare
Emma ~>Will vs Emma~>Carl I love me some John Stamos but I think Will and Emma are a much better match. With Emma admitting she still has feelings for Will in this episode I see a glitter of hope that they will get back together.
Rachel ~> Finn Rachel ~>Puck Rachel ~>Jesse St James. Obviously Rachel has been all over the place with who she has dated over the past season and a half. Jesse St James was a short lived character and I hated how he used Rachel to get tips for Vocal Adrenaline to do better in the compettion. At the end of last season he went off to UCLA so I doubt he'll be coming back to the show anytime soon but who knows.. he may at one point or another. I hope so because Jonathan Groff and Lea Michelle have great chemistry ( Maybe the fact they were in Spring Awakening together helps that out... really wish I had the opportunity to see that show when it was in NY) I was never really crazy about Puck and Rachel as couple.. something just didn't work well together. Finn and Rachel were my favorite couple and I was so bummed when they broke up at the end of the Christmas episode. I don't know if it's too unrealistic to hope they'll get back together. I think that if Rachel doesn't get back together with Finn then she will have more opportunities to meet more guys and hopefully a new love interest will blossom.
Finn ~> Quinn HATE the fact they are back together. I honestly think Quinn is just using him to make Rachel jealous
Artie ~> Tina Artie~>Brittany. I feel Artie and Tina weren't really given enough of a chance as a couple they could of really worked well together. I think Artie and Brittany are a somewhat good match but Brittany's character annoys me.. way too ditzy. That character needs a little time to mature. I mean honestly... what high school kid would think that babies come from storks? Very unrealisitic.
Brittany ~> Santana. I have nothing against gays and lesbians whatsoever don't get me wrong but I don't like Brittany and Santana as a couple. Santana is a total bitch and Britanny though a bit naive is really sweet.. not a good pairing. Interested to see where that relationship will go.
Puck ~> Lauren This is a new couple this season. I am actually really liking thier chemistry a lot. We'll see where their story line will go.
Kurt ~> Blaine LOVE THEM!! They need more scenes. Chris Colfer and Darren Criss are awesome scene partners.

Decent musical numbers have been really lacking all season long.. and that's mainly what this show is supposed to be about... the music and the friendships the Glee kids form. Not sex and overglorfication of drinking and drugs. Step it up Glee writers!

Let's move on to American Idol... that's a happier topic.. Glee just disgusts and depresses me.

Top 13 Break Down

Top Performances Rated between 9 and 10

Casey 9 Song: A Little Help From My Friends Artist: Joe Corcorn. He did a wonderful rendition of the theme song from The Wonder Years. Really liked how he made the song his own

Haylee 9 Song: Blue Artist Leann Rimes Apparently this was a song that Patsy Cline never recorded and I had never heard of this song before seeing it performed tonight. She did amazing with it. Definitley something worth the download

James 9 Song Maybe I'm Amazed Artist Paul McCartney Totally did Paul McCartney justice. He did amazing and showed his softer side.

Karen 9 Artist Selena (missed the song title) Not familiar with Selena's music at all but I thought she did fantastic.

Scotty 10 Song The River Artist Garth Brooks He is amazing and definitley my top favorite guy this year. I'm rooting for him to make it into the top 5.

Middle of The Road Performances Rated between 7 and 8

Jacob 8 I Believe I Can Fly R Kelly. Overall the performance was good. Could've been better without the back up singers

Pia Song: All By Myself Artist Celine Dion Rating 7.5 She did this song moderate justice but could have done slightly better.

Lauren Song Any Man Of Mine Shania Twain Rating 7 Didn't butcher it but didn't do 100% perfect and had a few pitch problems. She has a lot of potential. No idea if she'll make it all the way to the end.

Paul Ryan Adams (missed the song title) Not familiar with this song at all. He did really good but not as great as some of the other guys.

Naimia Song Umbrella Artist Rhianna Rating 7,5 She did a creative rendition of this song. Not a big fan of the song in general though... not one of my fave Rhianna songs.

Thia Song Smile Artist Michael Jackson hanging in the balance between 8.5 and 9 Captivating and beautifully mastered. She is talented beyond her 15 years.

Bottom Performances

Stefano and Ashton's performances did not appeal to me at all. Trust me I love me some Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder but I think they missed the boat with their performances. They both rated 5.
