I was glad they finally addressed “Blaine and the Pips”- I just don’t think any club would stand for that this long. Kurt and Blaine’s kiss was sweet and innocent and surprisingly believable. Nowhere near as hot as their oral sex in the Starbuck’s men’s room scene in the episode where they met though. ---

And the human Star of David after the Jesus is My Friend number was a nice touch. ---

> [@gonzoron](#): > > I missed last week, was there any mention of why Vocal Adrenaline wasn’t at Regionals? With the foreshadowing early this season with their new coach and that Sunshine girl, I expected to see them back by now. Sue’s pandering to the judges with the Jesus song was pretty hilarious too, and made me wish we’d seen more of her glee coaching. Was there some of that last week too? Did you notice “Jesus Is My Friend” ended with Aural Intensity forming a Star of David on the stage? Also, according to the preview during the episode’s closing tag, we’re going to at least see the Vocal Adrenaline director again (the one who replaced Rachel’s mom/Idina Menzel … played by Cheyenne Jackson). Sue’s got him, Sandy Ryerson (ex-choir director) and Will’s ex-wife Terri all together in her quest against Will Shuester. Hijinks will doubtless ensue. ---

I assume Vocal Adrenoline’s absence will be explained when Jonathan Groff and Charice appear next month. Griffin and Devine were such walk on cameos. I hated to see them wasted. Olivia Newton John and Josh Groban got better material. I did like Griffin’s little cross herself/salute gesture, though I think Tea Party members are overwhelmingly Protestant aren’t they? ---

Speaking of teenagers singing original songs, have any of you seen [this viral music video by a girl named Rebecca Black](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0&feature=player_embedded)? It was apparently posted about a month ago and has gotten really big in the last couple of weeks. It now has over 9.7 million views on youtube. :eek: It’s slightly better than “My Headband” but both songs share a certain literal sensibility. 😛 Seriously, it really does remind me of this week’s \*Glee \*original songs with their hilariously bad lyrics. If you squint just right, this girl could look kinda like Rachel Berry. Too bad she can’t sing like her. Warning: If you listen to the whole song, it could get stuck in your head for awhile. It’s a bit earwormy. ---

It’s a bit earwormy. Yeah, but I don’t think all those views are from people who think it’s good. Unless you subscribe to the view, that I do, that the song is actually insanely deep and is about the existential crisis of a young girl who isn’t even sure what life is and whether she’s living it. ---

I absolutely laughed my ass off when they did [Jesus is a Friend of Mine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-NOZU2iPA8). > [@Annie](#): > > I don’t see how they can’t. The Ohio Show Choir Assoc. didn’t seem to have problems with Jesse moving from school to school, so expect some economic setback in the Hummell household necessitating tuition belt tightening. But will Blaine tag along? My thought was that maybe the last minute changes cause Kurt or Blaine to get blamed for the Warbler’s loss. Seems a bit out character for the group, but it could be an opportunity to keep the characters while sending them both back to McKinley. God willing it could also finally put an end to the worn out “Zeis-erman” story arc. ---

[QUOTE=Annie] But will Blaine tag along? [/QUOTE] Well, he _ **is** _ half Filipino, so there’s a good chance he speaks… Oh, sorry. Tag alo_ **n** _g. > [@twickster](#): > > There was no Kurt character, originally. He auditioned for Artie, which he didn’t get, obviously, but Ryan liked him so much that he created the character specifically for him. Good eye on Ryan Murphy’s part as he became the breakout character. Chris Colfer is very unusual in that sometimes he looks grown, sometimes he looks 12, sometimes he’s sexy, sometimes he’s homely, and he’s as femine as you can get voicewise yet not really effeminate. It’s probably the uniqueness that makes him a star. It will be interesting to see what he does after or in addition to GLEE. For some reason depressed Sue’s lament “Sweet Porcelain…” was just hysterical to me. ---

I think this was one of the better recent episodes, and I’m so glad Kurt finally got some action. 😉 I sort of wish everything had been spread out over two episodes instead, though. The writing of new songs, Kurt/Blaine, AND regionals was a lot for one episode, and it all seemed a bit rushed. We didn’t even get to find out if the Warblers came in second or third! I loved that Brittany’s favorite song was “My Headband”…possibly the first song Brittany has ever really understood. Rumor has it that Karofsky has a solo coming up in a couple of weeks, so I’m guessing that he’s going to stop being a threat to Kurt and Kurt will return to McKinley in time to join New Directions at nationals. With luck he’ll be able to convince the girls not to wear those awful leggings under their dresses again…although I suppose it’s possible I’m just in denial about this being a perfectly on-trend look. ---
