    In reply to Adam Lambert's Crotch is Connected to the "Send Angry Email" Button of Parents Everywhere
    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.

    As a heathen prancing sissynanny gayboy (who can sing), I can't stand that Adam may skate away from this because people will come to his defense over the man-kissing alone. The fact is, his singing sucked donkey, and the rest of the act was tacky and stupid, and he shouldn't be able to get away with it. He looked like an amateur being handled by amateurs on that stage. He should be forced to reflect on just how awful he was, and rethink how he wants to enter this business.

    Honestly, if that is the voice he has to offer, he should pack it in. I was embarrased for his vocal performance to the point where I barely noticed the visual crapness.

    Two guys kissing on TV will turn your boys gay but Miley Cyrus dancing on the pole at the Teen Choice Awards won't turn your girls into whores? Interesting.

    @hotpinklovesofa: Obviously this is a non-issue. Girls can only be born whores, while boys can turn gay.

    They flipped out about the Teen Choice Awards before it even aired.

    People being shocked at Adam Lambert remind me of the morons who got up and walked out during a David Sedaris reading.

    The first step in watching/attending an event is knowing the talent involved. If it offends you, don't go or watch. Simple as that.

    You had me at Aziz Ansari. Apatow, I'm still kinda pissed about Funny People, but if you promise to finally leave Seth Rogen out of one of your movies, I think I see some promise.

    Does anyone really listen to the Parents' Television Council? I'd like to see that.

    Oh, and don't they understand that they're just playing into his hands?

    Anyone that can piss of the Parents Television Council is okay in my book. Didn't like Lambert on American Idol, but I'm kind of a fan now.

    In reply to Glee: Don't Stand So Close to Us
    Normally, I'd be right there with you in hating all the schmaltz, but I've had a rough week and Glee seems to give my psyche just what it needs to feel better. I was so ready to burst into tears by the time they sang the Bill Withers song, I didn't care that it was cheesy (and yes, Mercedes is a force to be reckoned with, truly). Broke my heart. With rainbows. Unicorn infested rainbows. With Neil Patrick Harris on top. You guys, this show is the best.

    Wow, Glee went there last night! There were more than two times when I nearly fell out of my chair...the father-daughter scene...ouch! that's some pretty raw stuff....(Finn's mom rocks! tho...) and the suzy pepper - rachel encounter in the bathroom....did she just summarize my love troubles in two lines or less?

    If this show made Quin suddenly decide to get an abortion - I'd gay marry it.

    In reply to Glee: Don't Stand So Close to Us
    Finn's mom being so kind and loving, in contrast to Quinn's awful parents, was unexpectedly moving.

    Still, I'm feeling worse and worse for Finn- he's having so much pressure put upon him, and he's clearly a good-hearted guy, if not bright. Yet the writers dragging out this story arc where Quinn still hasn't told him the truth is getting harder to watch. I liked Quinn's archetypal mean girl Cheerio persona, but the more it drags out it's just sadistic towards Finn.

    I get the strong feeling that the pregnancy gimmicks (Quinn and Terri) were melodramatic devices written before the show was a hit, on its own strong merits- they're sort of overkill and unfun, especially Terri's ludicrous plotline.

    Glee just has a good fun heart, I really enjoy it for its unironic joy in music, its earnestness. That's why they're geeks I suppose, the lack of snark. But that's what makes the show so enjoyable too.

    @Baroness: Agreed with all of the above. And the added dash of absurdity and sarcasm alongside the earnestness is why it works so well. And maybe a teeny tiny cynical streak. Which is why grown-ups adore it!

    Ditch the bitch and make the switch--

    It takes a geigh to summarize Glee well, and that's an example. Thank you, Lovely Brian!

    But at the end of the episode, we felt like we got our money's worth without her.

    Speak for yourself! I was missing my Jane Lynch like it was a vitamin I'd forgotten to take. Fortunately, watching her show Fiddy how to fluff throw pillows on Conan was almost enough.

    I loved, loved, loved this show, but almost starting gagging when Finn started singing "Your Havin' My Baby." The fact that Quinn seemed to like the song was reason alone for her parents to kick her out of their house!
