"Glee" on Fox
So, it’s half-time in Glee’s sophomore (2010 – 2011) season, and therefore time to take stock of which musical numbers really rocked.
Overall, I have to agree with Jace Lacob of The Daily Beast, from a storyline character-development perspective, it’s been a bit weak compared to last year (however, I come no where near loathing it). Maybe this lack of emotional pull spilled over to the musical numbers, because I experienced fewer goosebumps this season, and as a result, have fewer videos on my “repeat view” list. With that said, here my top five (okay, six):
“Teenage Dream” from Never Been Kissed.
“Time Warp” from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Halloween) episode – I challenge you to not “take a jump to the left, and take a step to the right, put your hands on your hips, and pull knees in tight…”
“Baby It’s Cold Outside” and ” Welcome Christmas,” both from A Very Glee Christmas. I mean who can resist Kurt and Blaine singing and dancing to this Christmas classic. And anyone who grew up watching “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” well a tear or two could possibly be shed.
And, it was a toss-up, hence the top six…
“Forget You” and “Singing in the Rain/Umbrella” in The Substitute. Yes, Gwyneth Paltrow delivered, and apparently, she is due back at some point in the second half.
So, those are mine … what are yours?
