She was so genuinely happy every time she took to the stage to accept an award! She knocked it out of the park with her performance of Rolling In The Deep! She’s back. Finally [...]

    GLEEcap – The Spanish Teacher

    Ricky Martin (SCREAM)!!! I love Ricky Martin. I am, sadly, old enough to remember his first appearance as a member of Menudo in the 80s! The episode opens with the boys from New Directions performing a version of La Cucaracha! It was a bit of a mess. Will’s abilities as a Spanish teacher are called into question, he goes to night school for a refresher course. There is an open tenured position and Figgins implies that Will might be in the running [...]

Blaine and gang kick it all off with a rousing version of Wanna Be Startin’ Something. The B-plot this week is the highly anticipated yes or no from Rachel to [...]

He broke the hell out of this song, I am not sure I will ever be able to listen to [...]
