"Just listen. The song says everything."
– Rachel (Glee)
Finished grinding Glee yesterday, and I already miss people singing at random... apparently I love musicals. Don't expect me to pull a serious review here though; I loved the singing, and the general crazy of it, but it's way too over the top to be taken seriously.
Which, ironically, is why it's so damn effective when it decides to slap you in the face. You just don't expect a 'feel good' show to shock, or even make you think...
...and that makes it really confusing to answer one simple question: "Which was your favorite part?"
Below's mine. The backstory is simple: the Glee kids meet the opposing show choir team, which is from a school for the deaf.
Got it? A singing competition against deaf people? Nine episode into the crazy of Glee already, this is simply too much to be taken seriously; you're just as much in disbelief, probably even disgust, as the Glee kids initially are.
And then the deaf kids start singing in sign language, and it proves to be the most touching song in the entire season.
Noticed how their hands, moving to the rhythm of the lyrics, make them look as if they're dancing as well?
Thank you for the wild, Glee.
