> [@PunditLisa](#): > > Back to Glee. I was struck once again how mediocre a singer Finn is. I’m amazed that the casting folks couldn’t find a masculine, tall, actor who could really belt out a song. I’m glad you bought that up, because it’s something that I was thinking, too. I found his voice, especially in the last episode, kind of weak. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Damn, that “Imagine” really did bring tears to my eyes. Me too! And a little bit during True Colors too. I thought this was a particularly good episode. > [@TBG](#): > > Is there any reasonable way those deaf kids stand a chance of ever winning a competition of this type at this level other than if a judge feels sorry for them?. No. But they probably aren’t doing it to win. I think synchronized signing to songs can be really cool, but it still needs a real singer somewhere in the mix. One or a few real singers with backup hummers/sound effects and choreographed signing by a group of deaf students could work. I wonder if a deaf person could learn to sing on key using some kind of feedback device. > [@PunditLisa](#): > > Back to Glee. I was struck once again how mediocre a singer Finn is. > > Quinn’s “Papa Don’t Preach” would have made more sense in front of her father. Agreed on both, but Finn seems to be either getting worse, or is being featured less because I seem to recall him being stronger in the first few episodes. ---

I liked the episode but did not like the musical numbers, they just didn’t do it for me. I also prefer Rachel’s usual atire, but that dress was pretty sexy. ---

> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > Also, they’re moving it to Tuesdays. Which means I’ll have to either quit my trivia team or find a method of recording that actually works. Hey, you don’t play trivia at the Pineapple Hill, do ya? Not the best episode, but I loved the whole speech from Kurt to Rachel. “We both have to realize that Finn loves Quinn and they’re having a baby together.” (paraphrased) Also from Kurt about Rachel’s bedroom: “Looks like the place where Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobby hook up.” Classic! And Rachel looked HOT! 😃 ---

I would like to thank “Punditlisa” - YES, Finn is a bad singer, and he can’t dance (he taps his toe) and he can’t act (he is goign to make a career out of the “blank stare” - Someone has to, Keanu is getting old). Thank you for proving to eveyone I know, I am not the only person in the world, who likes the show but feels that way. There is a very simple reason Sue leaked the set list. So far we have seen the kids sing all of the songs on the set list (we watch them rehearse - that the show), so to have an episode titled “Sectionals” they are goign to need new songs to sing. The plot will end up with them singing last at the sectional, and haveing to switch to unknown songs at the list minute, so there can be something new to sell on I-tunes that week. I liked the deaf-kids number. I got to use my sign language skills - they have gotton rusty. I want to clear something up… Puck made it clear he wants to be with Quinn, both a few weeks ago and this week…at no time did he ever say he wanted to exclusivly be with Quinn! Both Quinn and the audience assumed he made a declaration of exclusive love, but he would NEVER do that. Remember what happens when we ASS-U-ME!!! Rachel’s whole look , while hot, is a little retro. (see Marsha Brady) I think both Kurt and Quinn were being hard on her, especially Kurt. I am a gay man living in NYC and I find his fashion sense is a little over the top here…coture is not gonna go well in suburban/rural Ohio. Once again the best line goes to Brittany _Mr Shue - Take is away Brittany Brittany - Take what away ???_ ---

Thank you for proving to eveyone I know, I am not the only person in the world, who likes the show but feels that way… Even as eye candy he come’s in 3rd (after Matthew & Salling). BTW did y’all know that Monteith is only 3 years younger than Morrison. ---

Both Quinn and the audience assumed he made a declaration of exclusive love, but he would NEVER do that. Remember what happens when we ASS-U-ME!!! But a reasonable assumption, because Puck says he wants to be a good father. I think the mother thinking that he want to be exclusive is something that isn’t exactly that crazy. That and Puck wanted to show Quinn that he wasn’t as immature as she thought… actually trying to be exclusive would have gone a long way to show that.
