Last night’s Glee broke ratings records. It was the highest rated Glee show so far. Maybe it was because of all the early hype, but the Glee “Britney/Brittany” episode last night was, for me, a little disappointing.
I was excited to see how the writers were going to incorporate the Britney Spears hits into a Glee storyline. But I didn’t like that the Britney song performances were part of dental anesthesia dreams. There was no real…uh, plot. I like when Glee just incorporates the music right into the plot line. It seemed a little strange that the kids were just dying to perform Britney songs at their pep ralley considering their ages. (They would have been in elementary school for some of Britney’s early hits.) I also could not stop thinking about the amazing “Madonna” episode last season and this one just did not measure up. Also, where was Quinn (Dianna Agron) last night?
But there were some things I did like: Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) singing “(Hit Me) Baby One More Time.” Artie (Kevin McHale) singing “Stronger.” And all of Brittany’s (Heather Morris) one-liners and dance numbers. That girl can move and she looked great.
Heather Morris has some major dancing experience too. Check her out in the video below when she danced right beside BEYONCE (!) at the American Music Awards in 2008! She definitely stands out as one of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies!” You go, girl!
