Aylovet. A lesbian playing a butch straight character, covering a song from a straight gay icon. I love it when Sue sneers here and there, as if she couldn’t stand every second of playing dress up in Madonna clothes. The Madonna episode airs today! ETC airs it Wednesdays, at 4pm, then a replay at 10pm. Apparently, rumors of Madonna not being happy about Glee doing a Madonna episode is completely unfounded. Madonna herself professed a crush on Will Shuester and will reportedly catch the tribute episode when it finally airs.
The new episodes from Glee were okay, not great, but I really loved this cover:
The guy playing Rachel’s love interest, Jesse St. James, is openly gay theater actor, Jonathan Groff, who was the breakout star of Duncan Sheik’s musical, Spring Awakening.
And with the debut of Taye Digg’s wife Idina Menzel as Vocal Adrenaline’s coach, the Wicked pair is now complete, as Kristin Chenoweth appeared earlier. These two sang the original version of Defying Gravity, which Glee covered with Rachel and Kurt. Whew, talk about full circle!
I am still getting into glee mania, would you believe it? I only caught partially one episode last week, and I decided to check it out via… nooninoo… rip-offs. =)
KC will be back too, right! yey!
the original broadway cast of Spring Awakening had Jonathan St. Groff play Melchior and Lea Michele play Wendla, the two main characters. this is a reunion for them too.
Thanks for posting the videos. I love idina menzel,!!! i’m so glad she guested on glee. Can’t wait for her performance of I Dreamed a Dream and with her and Rachel’s performance of PokerFace.
I’ve always loved Sue Sylvester… but after watching today’s episode of ‘Glee’, it’s official… I’m in love with Jane Lynch! =)
thanks for posting the videos from glee, spring awakening and wicked. Yeah, i’ve been a fan of these musicals waay before Glee become a hit and im glad that they’ve featured original broadway cast members of these musicals in Glee.
sayang not the best defying gravity version. idina had an asthma attack 10min prior to performing this song
Hey Chix-
Saw Spring Awakening last year and it was AWESOME! I wanted to see HAIRSPRAY last weekend, it was playing around here last weekend but I had to work. UGH. Oh well…
Your wish was granted chico… u wanna see sue to be all dolled up right, hahaha !!!! the best vogue cover !!!! i am a GLEEK !
Saw the Madonna episode, and I loved their mash-up version of Borderline and Open You Heart more than the other Madonna songs covered. =)
Just saw the episode last night! Grabe! Tama kayo ni Del, bumawi sila sa medyo not so interesting comeback episode. This Power of Madonna episode is awesome! Worth ulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-ulitin… Makahanap na nga ng kopya :p
i love Glee!!!!
Idina and Jane Lynch both look fantastic. I love that madonna episode. First episode wasnt that bad either.
The more I watch it makes me feel like wanting to be part of the cast. arrgh if only I got the voice >__<
oh yeah, I love hearing the updates from your show, chico, since I can't watch it on its air dates. Im glad that tv shows thought of replays.ahehe
I love Glee! I was laughing so hard when you made that blooper on-air and accidentally called the glee fans “jerks” instead of “gleeks” Hahaha!
And I agree the Madonna episode was better.
Like a Virgin was sooo hot! And Like a Prayer was so powerful!
It’s already in the news actually that producer Ryan Murphy is planning another Madonna episode for season 2.
Naku matutuwa kayo dito mga tita. Sue vs Madonna. Side by side!
Whew! Love Sue….have u seen her stray gays video? Daming gleeks dito…. Ano tayo? Rugleeks or gleekshers??? Hehe
really love the madonna episode
… Sue Sylvester’s vogue rendition was really the best part
