> [@choie](#): > > Lynch was terrific (ain’t she always? love her in everything she does!) and her voice was divine. She was my favorite part of the show, and a big reason I’ll be back next time. She’s one of those “worked for 25 years to become an overnight success” stories. ---

i think everyone who’s ever worked with jane lynch from meryl streep to adam carolla has been superbly praiseful of her acting ability, and dedication. the way she took the vogue video so seriously and did it so convincingly was amazing. i don’t think a lot of actresses could have pulled both that and say… ricky bobby’s mom’s role off. she certainly does have RANGE, and convincing range at that. ---

I feel silly asking, but what exactly is “auto tune”? Also, is anyone else getting annoyed with Rachel’s screechiness/pitchiness in a lot of her songs this season? She has a beautiful voice in ballads (usually), for example, I loved last week’s duet “Hello” with Jesse, but she was driving me crazy in this episode - like she is trying too hard! And Santana scared me in the Like A Virgin number, with her grimaces and hair swinging … I would love more Kurt / Mercedes / Artie storylines … I’m pretty damn sick already of Finn and Rachel, and even Schue and Emma … Loved the show in the fall, but so far it’s leaving me cold this time around. ---

> [@Stainz](#): > > I feel silly asking, but what exactly is “auto tune”? The device that makes that mechanical sound you hear on recordings of some singers. It was used left-right-center in the 25th Anniversary We Are the World video and is a cheap substitute for a good singing voice. It has a [long wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Tune), but [this Jimmy Kimmel skit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITT6bYYGVfM) probably explains it best. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > The cast members in that video were asked to perform the Single Ladies dance at one promotional event. It’s an extremely rude thing to do- the same really as asking an accountant to look over your 1040 or a lawyer whether you can sue your landlord when they’re off-duty- but [they were very cool about it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKOqRHr6ttM). (Since most of the kids were complete unknowns before they’re still high on the fame.) I think the best thing about that clip is that Cory Monteith (Finn) is filming it on his phone.
