    Not sure how SMS thinks that giving Will's setlist to the two competing schools will hurt his kids' chances at winning. After he sees the other two schools perform he'll just be like, "Alright, kids. Here's some sheet music I got off Amazon just now," and then they'll glance over it for two seconds, know how to sing it immediately with zero rehearsal and improv some great dance moves.

    In all seriousness, I'll be pretty disappointed if Eve and Will don't team up and have some sort of duet.

    He's ready to give up his past glory for his future family with Terri. If only he knew the kind of woman he has hitched his station wagon to."

    Okay, I know that there's something of a triangle between Emma, Terri and Will, but can someone remind me how the pregnancy thing started? Did he make getting pregnant a dealbreaker in staying with the character (who is written as a bitch)? What are Terri's motives for saying, "I can't get pregnant" or "I don't want kids, sorry"?

    @maude_flanders: It actually started with a hysterical pregnancy - Terri told Will she was pregnant because she thought she was, and then the doctor told her she wasn't. Terri thought if she told him that he would leave her (probably true considering she is a heinous bitch). She saw the situation was tenuous and her nutballs sister convinced her that the only way to keep him was with a baby. And now they are blackmailing the doctor so he will pretend along with them.

    What a great show.

    My God, Brian. How could you fuck up like this.

    The black bustier and capri pants was from "Open Your Heart", not "Papa Don't Preach".

    "Papa Don't Preach" was the one with Danny Aiello as Madonna's ersatz padre.

    Possible Puck pulled the "sexting" (Christ. Youth.) thing to deflate Quinn's obvious attraction based on Mercedes' advice that he's not the chosen "baby daddy" (Will this term always exist?) and needs to get over it now, but you know, just to prove himself later?

    I thought this episode was a real letdown compared to last week's. They're back to all the petty double-dealing and over-the-top plot twists. And the scene with the kids from the School for the Deaf would have been a lot nicer if the show hadn't just spent so much time making fun of their partially hearing-impaired teacher.

They haven't forgotten that he's a supporting character, have they? Is he just going to sit around looking pretty and being a royal asshole for the rest of the show?

    @tommix3: It means they ran his voice through a computer and corrected any variations in pitch to keep him "on note". Admittedly it was subtler than what T-pain does, but it was still there and it was still a shame. It takes all the character out of a performer's voice in favour of the simple mechanics of note-making.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Took another listen (I saved the episodes) and watched the link above, from what I can see, auto tone seems to add the electronic tone quality. I didn't hear that in Glee. Can it help regular voices in a way that isn't that detectable except to a more musically inclined person? Just trying to learn. Thanks

    @tommix3: While all the Gawker commenters seem to think the problem is Auto Tune, it really has to do with sound mixing. Because the songs are recorded in a studio first and then inserted into the scene later, they sound much different and fuller than the dialogue. The recordings themselves sound fine (as do the voices) but they don't fit in with the rest of the sound. I have it on good authority this is a problem the show is desperately trying to fix.

    @Brian Moylan: Great news that the show is trying to fix that issue. I completely agree with you that the biggest problem is the contrast between dialogue and sound. I have all the tracks on my iPod (yes I am a huge Gleek) and they sound great even with the Auto Tune-ing. They only sound strange in the context of the show.

    Were they complaining about Eminem and 50 Cent at all? Half their song was bleeped out because of cursing, and I'm sorry, but even implied cursing gets my special garment in a wad.

    That said, I would concur with the vocal criticisms of Adam Lambert's performance because he can do better than that, but if he hadn't kissed a dude, I would have been thinking "Damnit, what a sellout." I wanted him to kiss a dude, I wanted him to shove someone's face into his crotch, and I got what I wished for. Except for the shrieking. I was not wishing for that.

    Im going to be honest. I have nothing against gay acts on TV.

    But I certainly have things against really bad signing and crappy dancing. Adam might be this classically trained singer, but I just don't see what people like about him. Every time I have heard him sing my ears have bled.

    One of my biggest issues is he is always just slightly out of tune. Like ALWAYS. Not blatantly, he is on key (though he was NOT on key for this performance) , just out of tune to it slightly. His intonation seems to be always off when he sings live.

    I guess its hard to explain unless you have musical training.
