I’m back after a week of no GleePro! I was so sad when I realized last week there was no episode. I need this show to get my Glee fill over the summer. I also missed hating on Lindsay. Seriously, I can’t stand her.
This week’s episode is sure to be hilarious, as it’s all about:
If this show wasn’t on Lifetime, they’d all be saying “Oh FUCK” right about now
Gingersnap knows that she’s screwed. BTW Erin, I liked your suggestion of Big Red, but if I called her that I would think of Bring It On every time, and Gingersnap and that movie definitely don’t go together.
The kiddies have to choreograph their own moves as well. I’m a crappy dancer, so I’d probably be doing the carwash and the peace-signs over my eyes dances, so I sympathize with them. Oh, I can do the Cotton Eyed Joe, too.
Alex claims he is the best dancer out of all of them. Not from what I’ve seen, but then again, he hasn’t been a featured dancer yet. Oh, Hipsteron just claimed he has no sense of rhythm. From what I’ve seen, that isn’t true, but whatevs.
I don’t know if this was fake or not, but the kids seem genuinely in the dark about who the special guest star will be. Because it’s not going to be the one character on Glee who ONLY DANCES and does nothing else, will it? …Of course it is. It’s Harry Shum Jr., who plays Mike Chang! Who I love, also. His abs are delicious.
I want to eat tiny finger sandwiches off your stomach
Let’s grade the homework assignment!
Matty- tries to do too much in a short time. He’s also picked up CT’s bad gyrating and thrusting habits. B-
Dreads- not too complicated, and very smooth. A
CT- boring dance and didn’t sing his part very well at all. C+
Hipsteron- collides with CT when the song lyrics says “collided.” It’s cute. He’s good other than that, also. A
Move bitch, get out the way!
Boring Marissa- puts every bad 80’s dance move into one hideous moment. I think the leg warmers took over her brain. Her singing is nice, though. C+
She’d get shot in the hood for doing that “represent” thing
Mickey- basically goes with jazz hands. I like the spin she puts on the song, though. B+
Gingersnap- wisely decides to go with the classic finger wagging and pointing. Smart considering she would suck at anything else. B
Alex- really? From ballet spins to the party boy? Ok…B-
Lindsay- skanks like the skank she is. B
Harry says Hipsteron is very unique but needs to tone it down in a group situation. Mickey wasn’t memorable. Alex didn’t keep it appropriate to the song. Dreads was cool and really sold it. Matty made him smile and seemed like he had a dance background. And Dreads wins it! I agree, he is definitely a confident and cool dancer.
Finally, some recognition for something other than my nasty ass hair and pink pants!
Alex is shocked that Dreads won because he is “not a dancer.” Clearly you’re wrong about that, honey. You just think you should’ve won with your ballerina shit. Just cuz you’re gay doesn’t mean you have to do ballet. Perpetuate some stereotypes why don’t you?
So this week, instead of singing, the big group number will see everyone…rapping. That’s right, they’re doing MC Hammer’s classic “Can’t Touch This.” I can’t tell if I’m dreading this for the ridiculousness of it or looking forward to it for the same reason.
Back in the dorm, Alex claims he “didn’t have the mindset to win (the challenge) and didn’t want to win.” Way to make it seem like the only reason Dreads won was because he let him. I don’t like that, it’s petty and mean.
His inflated big head doesn’t even fit on the screen
Vocals with Nikki! Oh joy. Lindsay isn’t singing this time, so maybe Nikki won’t be worshipping the ground she walks on. Gingersnap is excited because she apparently has rapped before. The only thing worse than white wannabe rappers are ginger wannabe rappers. She says people call her MC Hannah, which is kind of funny, and her rapping style is called the “skidoosh.” Ska-douche? Hm.
She actually kind of rocks it. Matty overdoes it with what I assume is his “gangsta” accent. CT growls instead of talking like it’s a conversation. I thought Mickey was pretty good, considering she had a hard and fast line, but Nikki thought she had a hard time with the delivery.
Because Dreads won before, he gets a part in the song where he gets to do rap ad-libs. Is it just me, or does that seem more like a punishment? I don’t want to have to make up my own rap lyrics! And I guess he doesn’t either, because he totally steals Gingersnap’s SkaDoosh thing! And Dumb Ass Nikki calls it so000 individual. Dreads can only meekly go “yeah…” Of course Gingersnap is pissed about it, as she should be. Everyone has become a cocky bastard in this ep!
CT can’t dance, and he knows it. He looks like a drunkard with a balance problem walking on a floor made of Jello, which is hilarious, but bad for his chances.
Then again, he is from Ireland, so this kind of drunken movement is probably normal there
Choreographer Zach trusts Alex to teach some of the dancing failures the moves. Which will only make his big head even bigger. Sigh…
In the shoot, Alex is lackluster, Hipsteron is uncomfortable, and Matty is a divo.
Video Notes:
- This is fucking scary
- Hannah is actually pretty good in the video. She’s funny (especially when she does the worm)
- For some reason this reminds me of those Kidz Bop commercials
Isn’t Glee kind of the grown-up version of Kidz Bop? #revelations
- I hate to admit, Lindsay is a good dancer and she expressed a lot in her face as well
- Mickey was boring
What is with these fugly glasses? One pair of hipster glasses is already too much.
- Boring Marissa seriously channeled some home girl style. Girl got swag!
- So many colors…
For the bottom three, I predict Mickey, Hipsteron, and Alex or Matty who they were hating on? Or Gingersnap (although I personally think she owned it)? I don’t know!
CT, Lindasy, Boring Marissa, and Dreads are called back. No surprises there, considering that they ended up loving CT’s performance in the video. So Hipsteron and Gingersnap make it, leaving Mickey, Matty, and Alex in the bottom.
Last Chance song assignments:
Mickey- Last Name (Carrie Underwood)- she has to be unforgettable
Alex- I’ll Always Love You (Whitney Houston)- he “knows what he has to do.” Well I don’t!
Matty- Down (Jay Sean)- he has to be cool and sexy
In this week’s short scene, Boring Marissa gets her own booty popping session. Like I said before, she’s def channeling someone from the hood. CT is overwhelmed.
I don’t think he’s ready for this jelly
First up is Mickey. She gives a really good performance with actual personality! She’s funny, kind of! And she’s a crazy good singer.
She also beat out Gingersnap this week in the “Who can make the most ridiculous faces?” contest
They mostly liked her. Ryan says she could be the country singer of the Glee cast. I for one am glad he’s trying to lose the homeless chemo patient look by growing some hair.
For some reason, Ryan is very insistent that Matty be a sex symbol, but I don’t think that everyone on Glee has to be sexy. Matty rushes the song, and seems off for most of it. This also happened:
Which became this
He is pretty ripped…
I dug his last note, though. Ryan tells him he needs to be a “better him,” meaning take notes better and listen to people without freaking out.
Alex comes out wearing a trademarked scarf! I was wondering if we would go a whole episode without him ever wearing one. It would have been very strange indeed. He comes out and introduces himself in a super low-key manner. He almost sounds bored. Not a good sign…
Man, that boy can SING! Like a girl, but still. It almost brought a tear to my eye.
Preach it sista!
But he goes on about not doing his best so that other people can shine, and Ryan no likey that. He tells him to just be his big gay self and don’t worry about anyone else.
Mickey’s performance was great, but she’s been so bad in the past. Alex is normally amazing, but he really rubbed me the wrong way this episode. Matty…was Matty. I just hope Alex doesn’t go home.
And this week’s loozah is…
Her stupid name doesn’t even fit on the screen
Sorry Mickey, it was just too little, too late. You have a great voice, you’ll make it somewhere, even if it’s just singing in airport lounges. Hey, we need those people, too!
Cry me a river
Next week is duet week! That should be fun and awkward.
Thanks for reading, comment away!

L-Money, I have to say, Dreads in the pink shorts made me like him more. I continue . . .
Okay, I’m done. Marissa’s booty poppin’ was so committed I laughed and laughed. I did not see that coming from her, and if she truly, formerly, had anorexia, she showed huge confidence in her bod and booty.
Matty’s shirt take off . . . the opposite. Yes, he is a little Mighty Mo, but for heaven’s sake kid, that is tacky . . . just dress sexier if you’re feelin’ that . . . a tight tank top would go miles on your little man body, without needing to “take it off” Not sure if I blame Ryan, and not sure if Ryan’s got a thing for little men. Singing wise, he is just the same, not really as innovative as he first seemed. I found his outfit in the video to be borderline offensive . . . he looked like a doll.
I thought Hipsteron sucked in this . . . is it me? That squinty, look up to the side thing is beyond lame.
Ginger was the bomb, she really pops on film, and also makes me smile. Is she the only nice one left? I can’t believe how the ego’s have filled the room.
CT is useless, he can’t sing, he can’t dance, he can’t rap . . . and just coz he’s got the accent and big eyes, to keep him here with WAY more talented people in every way is just wrong. Each week he survives, I will be more and more angry.
It also feels sexist at this point. Neither Bags nor Mickey were my faves, but both girls threw it down on their final sings, the boys around them . . . meh, except for Alex . . .
My lawd in heaven above, if only that song hadn’t been soooo played out, I would have been a huddled mess on the floor. Scarves has a world of opportunity with that voice, if he doesn’t make it here, there’s a million shows he can go compete on. He can sing circles around “Sophia” from Idol this season. I try to give the kids some slack, they’re so young, and I doubt anyone told them how hard it would be to not get so obnoxious. For dessert they should be serving humble pie!
I wish Alex had sung “This Woman’s Work” . . . I’da cried into the new year. Or not . . . he does have a sort of weird, stand there and sing manner about him. I hate the scarves more and more too–when did that happen? When will it stop? OH, and my friend who worked on the show did the blackboard, he’ll be so thrilled you capped it!!!
xoxoxo
I really loved the entire “Hey, Soul Sister” thing. Dreads has moves that remind me of Michael Jackson. I don’t know why, but I didn’t see that coming. It was WAY better than Scarves. In fact, the whole episode I kept scratching my head every time he talked about what a great dancer he is. Has that been indicated in ANY previous episode? I don’t think so.
My absolute favorite part of the whole episode is when Matty was getting notes and the note was “Just keep your nuts over the ‘X’.” Did anyone else catch that? IT WAS INCREDIBLE. In real life? This is how you are talked to in rehearsals. I was once had a choreographer scream in my face that she was “sick of my shit” because I asked her if we were supposed to turn to the left or to the right. Swear.
I’m just going to admit it right here and now:
Even though I thought Mickey was boring as shit, I still bawled my eyes out seeing the tears streaming down her face as she sang “Keep Holding On.” It’s almost ironic – that’s the most interesting she’s been on camera for this whole season. Her voice is awesome. I see a recording career in her future. For shiz.
I’m so glad this episode didn’t have the camera (and all of the mentors) shoved firmly up Lindsay’s ass for once. It was nice to just see her fade into the background. Plus, my blood pressure didn’t raise even ONE time when she started speaking. Progress. I did take delight in noting that when they autotuned her rap voice, she sounded EXACTLY like Ke$ha. Except Ke$ha is talented in comparison.
Awesome recap as always. I’ve been looking for it!
Oh, and I got my very non-musically inclined husband hooked on this show (mostly because of the obscenities I throw at the television while watching it) and I thought he was going to pass out he was laughing so hard when Matty started stripping. So fucking random. It looks so creepy too because his stature makes him look younger than he really is, so you’re like, “Um, little boy, why are you stripping? Make it stop!”
Well, the braces don’t help much. Unless that’s considered sexy these days. What the hell do I know? I don’t find Marissa boring at all though, she’s got one of those faces that always look great on screen. I think they’re just keeping her under wraps for the early part of the season.
And yeah, the Irish guy. Why is he there?
Itchy, thanks for that link on the forum . . . what a delightful surprise!!! Loved it!!! I’ll reach out to you there next time I’m on.
Wherewordsfail, I so agree Mickey could have a career . . . she is unique in country, and she can sing like Carrie, loved her tone in the song. I could see she was a bit “big” in her affectations, more like stage than TV, but the potential is there. Wish her the best, she didn’t get over the top in ego either. Seems she’s been working on this for a long time.
Also agreed on the awkwardness of that little guy doing the sexy . . . confidence is one thing, stripping is a ho’s job (I oughta know!-ha)
oh, and itchy, I’m going thru that weirdness with the google address . . . it’s all mixed up, so logging in there has been a pain. I’m biding my time, working on my “making of”, then I’ll be back on there whoring myself out shamelessly. ; )
I’ll friend you there when I work it out.
I’m probably viewing the show the wrong way…seeing as I want the best vocalist/actor to win and not the quirkiest person they can then autotune and cut around for the dancing and dramatically film as they awkwardly stumble through their lines. Yes, I’m upset that Mckynleigh went though even she had to know it when she was going up against the 2 “favorites”. Alex is forgiven for all the little annoying habits he has entirely based on that performance. Gorgeous. In a full song I’ve finally been able to hear that he has range and more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Matteus is really getting on my nerves…
This week felt odd to me. There are fewer and fewer people but I felt like we spent less time focusing in on each of the contestants.
Also, am I crazy or did Cameron give Mckynleigh origami/paper flowers at the end?
Ha, judd, there oughta be a section in Tvgasm where we can whore out our videos! Must have taken you forever to animate yours, but it’s great fun.
McKinley (?) definitely has a fine voice. She said herself she’s more used to working the stage than a microphone. Too bad she’s so damn… bland. She needs to sex things up. Maybe she can get some tips from the little guy with braces?
McKynleigh’s performance was a little hammy but I would consider it the best of the 3. Matheus’ was just.. ugh, uncomfortable. I could tell I wasn’t the only one getting uncomfortable, Zach was covering his face and looking away and all this shit. But apparently, Matheus actually performed TWICE- he left this comment on a youtube video:
“It’s funny how the edited this episode. I performed this song Twice in front of him. The first time he said I didn’t give him all he wanted with the song. And he told me to re-perform it, though he wanted me to go crazy and show to him my sex appeal and rip my shirt off. I asked if that would be a little strange to do on national TV, but he still told me to do it. And then there I went and did it, and they edited out the first performance and the part where he asked me to do all this. Great. =/”
Oh, and was it me or was the part where Nikki was talking to Samuel and like, “And that was like your own thing, wasn’t it?” And Samuel’s like, *shifty eyes* “…Totally” sound scripted? And Hannah said on her twitter she wasn’t even mad at Samuel.
This IS Oxygen we’re talking about, after all. Scripting and editing for drama isn’t unusual. I doubt Lindsay is even as much as a bitch as the show makes her out to be. From her comments on twitter and facebook, she seems to be really sweet. I don’t like her, but I think all this hate she’s getting is a little overboard.
Matheus’ gyrating and stripping was so scary. I was like no. And I still think he’s adorable and belongs in my pocket, but I’m kind of getting tired of him. Same with Alex. Hopefully he’ll be less of a bitch in the future.
And I personally wasn’t too impressed with Mickey’s last chance performance, just because like she said, it’s a performance that she’s given a million a times. So she’s had time to develop and perfect her motions ad facial expressions. I bet if she had a song that she hadn’t already done so many times, it would have been the same old boring soulless Mickey. She’s nice and has a pretty voice, but she has no soul. So…bai girlfried, you got what you deserved.
I was proud of Gingersnap too…she did a great job in the video. I was surprised that Damian got called before her. I feel like he didn’t do anything that memorable in this episode, so I don’t even get why they were freaking out over him.
Erin, so interesting, and I’m not too surprised. Don’t know what they were trying to do, except build drama and make Matty look desperate or something. I would never know any of that.
Lindsay’s “Fake” because she’s so beautiful said a lot about her that couldn’t be shenanigans.
Itchy, it was my first time ever doing anything like that, I feel really lucky. Took about 4 and half months, you know, working a job and all . . . I loved the whole process, really fun!
And yeah . . . that would be swell to share our wares with the gasmi!
Heh, except they might get all snarky with us… gulp…
Eh, Itchy . . .I say bring it, it could be fun. I thought I was going to hear so many protests, but so far, so good. You’re just cool in every way . . . I expect you’re bullet proof!!!
; )
Matty’s striptease creeped me out. Plain and simple. I do not find that sexy. He could have done something sexier and less gimmicky than a strip tease. His voice becomes pitchy in areas. Alex is nothing but a Kurtcedes with an overflated ego. He can sing beautifully, but his dancing? NOT. IMPRESSED. He wouldn’t land on SYTYCD, that’s for sure. Don’t know where he got the idea he’s the best dancer because what he’s shown on TV doesn’t indicate that. Mickey sings beautifully, but as others here said, no soul. She’ll be a great lounge singer, but doing something like that might help her develop more emotion and soul in her singing. I think with more maturity and experience, she’ll be something. Marissa was adorable, and so was Hannah. Both Gingers did well in this episode. What’s obvious to me is that more girls are going home instead of guys, so the winner most likely will be male. I found Sam to have some great moves, but he should have credited Hanna for his “ska-doosh”. That was rather Ska-DOUCHEY of him not to do that. Lindsay–those eyes really grab your attention, but I cannot stand her egotistical, self-absorbed personality. Too bad, because she’s talented, but just ask her and she’ll be more than happy to tell you and then some. GREAT RECAP, though L-Money!!
Well, as long as they don’t go all Rebecca Black on us, judd. Put your link as a signature in your profile — the link will show up when you post in the forums.
I suspect some people don’t know what we’re talking about: Juddfan just put up an awesome video on youtube : http://youtu.be/N_wV4O2Yk98
(don’t know if that link will work, maybe this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_wV4O2Yk98)
Wow, Juddfan..that video is awesome!!
Congrats on your video Juddfan! So much time and effort. I’m glad we got the chance to see your work.
Aw . . . shucks guys!!! Thanks for your support! You know it’s a numbers game on You Tube. I just finished the Making of and will post that after I show it around and make sure it’s absorbable . . . as you can see, I can throw a lot in a small amount of time, so I can slow it down a bit based on feedback. There’s lots of movie references (Carrie obv) so the making of will further expand on that, pop-up video style.
Thanks again!!! And thanks Itchy for whoring me out, didn’t know I had a pimp on here!!! Ha! Sacra, I responded to a note you put on my profile, but I’ll be damned If I can find that spot again . . . you’d think after all these years I’d have the run of this place . . . sigh . . . I believe I put a link to you there-HA!! Glad you got a chance to see.
I’ll beg flippy to feature me after I post the Making of . . . I think it’ll help explain what it’s all about!
Maybe he’ll consider a feature for anyone who want’s to post their personal goodies!
i love damian i think hes really one of the hardest workers plus hes so funny and ive never heard any contestants say anything but good things about him, i know people on here tend to hate on him but i think he has lots of talent and i love celtic thunder so maybe im biased but even if i didnt this would all still be true hes such a cutie and his comments oin marissas booty pop were way more entertaining than her actual dancing IMO
