So I’ve been trying and hoping and wishing for Glee to change my mind about its third season, which is a year that hasn’t given me much hope in its first two episodes. Earlier this weekend, we got a look at Heather Morris as Brittany absolutely slaying some hot dance moves in a cover of “Run The World”, and today sees another performance hit the internet. Mercedes is mad as hell, and in order to prove that she’s not going to take it anymore!
Let’s Watch Heather Morris Destroy “Run The World” On Glee
Hear Six Songs From This Week’s Episode Of Glee: “Asian F”
It’s not that it’s not a good performance; Amber Riley’s vocals are as good as they’ve ever been. What I don’t like about the number is the fact that “Spotlight” is clearly a relationship song, not a song you sing to your teacher and club partner, as Mercedes is clearly directing the song towards Mr. Schuester and Rachel Berry. I don’t know though- watch for yourself and decide how it makes you feel:
It’s Jacob Ben Israel (Josh Sussman) and his microphone, so this must be the start of a new school year at McKinley High. We get equal parts heavy-handed exposition and salacious gossip-mongering, just what we need to know that yes, my darlings: Glee is back!
Allow me to recap the recap: Mercedes and Sam are “so last June” and Sam moved out of state when his father got a job. Mercedes has a new football-playing boyfriend, Marcus (Lamarcus Tinker), and he knows she’s going to be a big star. Artie and Tina are juniors, but Mike Chang is a senior, as are Finn, Rachel, and Kurt. Finn has absolutely no idea what he wants to be when he grows up, but Kurt and Rachel are heading for New York City as fast as they can click their shiny red heels together and say, “There’s no place like Broadway.”
According to Santana, senior year “is all about being the Cheerios top “O” (or possibly “ho.” It’s hard to tell) ‘… and modelling my fierceness after my numero uno Latina, Paula Abdul!”
Jacob reminds her “that Paula Abdul is an Arab.”
Finn thinks to himself that he doesn’t know who he is, and is quickly reminded with a slushy in the face. “Taste the rainbow, beyotch!”
Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) has dumped both Puck and the Glee Club, to keep her coolness quotient up. I’d be sobbing over that but rumor has it she’ll still have a strong storyline later in the season. I love me some Zizes.
Now that we’re all caught up, we get a scene with Will and Emma in bed together. I feel like I just walked in on my parents. Please make it go away.
At McKinley, Will sets out the 12th place trophy from Nationals and tells the kids he’s not going to let them down this year. Especially, it seems, since the guy who replaced him in April Rhodes‘ show won a Tony. Ouch.
He brings in a bunch of purple pianos, reclaimed from foreclosed homes, and says he’s having them set randomly around the school. He wants the New Directions kids to break out in song whenever they see one, as a way of recruiting new members. This will not end well.
Rachel and Kurt tell Emma they intend to go to Julliard in New York City, only to have their dreams crushed when she tells them there’s no musical theater department at Julliard. She arranges for them to attend a mixer of local students who want to go to The New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts in New York.
“You can check out the competish,” she says. Oh, Emma. You’ve changed. It worries me.
Meanwhile in Sue‘s office, Becky is giving her advice on her run for Congress. She’s currently behind a rapist running from his prison cell and “don’t call me at dinner time,” so she’s pretty desperate. She thought, she tells Becky, that people wanted to vote for someone who was for something, but her pro-deportation platform didn’t catch fire.
“People are angry,” she tells Becky. “They want a candidate who’s against something.”
“Be against toast,” Becky suggests. “Bread’s already baked. I don’t get toast.”
“Oh Becky, your twisted genius excites me,” Sue says. But she has a different idea: she’s going to run on an anti-arts platform. She launches it by smashing one of the purple pianos and making racist comments to Mike and Tina. Hi, Sue! I’ve missed you!
Watch “Glee” Episode 301 Recap: Glee’s Got the Beat! Yeah! They Got It!
The 36-second clip reveals that Tina and Artie are juniors, while another newly released sneak peek features the girls’ performance of ‘We Got the Beat’.
Just a day after the screening of “Glee” season 3 premiere, the first 36 minutes of the episode have been made available online . It opens with McKinley High’s resident gossip blogger Jacob Ben Israel questioning the glee club kids about what they will do next after high school.
Finn claims he has plans though his expression hints that he is actually confused. Mike lets his mom decide which university he will enroll to, but when Tina is asked the same question, she makes it clear that she is still junior and so is Artie, who is there with them.
The “Glee” cast’s performance of The Go Go’s’ “We Got the Beat” has additionally been made available for viewing pleasure via Entertainment Weekly. It sees the girls singing the cover version at their school’s cafetaria, with the boys dancing to the same tune.
The third season of “Glee” will kick off Tuesday, September 20 at 8/7c on FOX. The first episode titled “The Purple Piano Project” will see Mr. Schuester assigning a project to get the New Directions kids back on track after a devastating loss at Nationals.

Glee has made some additions to its ever-increasing list of series regulars. The cast members getting bumped up to full-time regulars for the third season are Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) and Darren Chris (Blaine) according to Spiky TV. This is bigger news for Shum who has been on the show since the first season, while Blaine just joined the cast during Season 2.
But with this positive comes a negative. Chord Overstreet, who joined Glee in Season 2 as well playing transfer student Sam Evans, did not have his option to be promoted to regular exercised. Overstreet made a tweet that seems to refer to this news. “It’s been a good year. Too bad it’s over. Time for summer and starting fresh,” says the tweet. This doesn’t mean his character won’t return as an occasional guest star.
Two weeks ago creator Ryan Murphy dropped the bombshell that the older cast would all graduate at the end of Season 3. Murphy clarified to Spiky TV why this decision was made. “Do we really want to have an eight-year [high school] senior? The only way somebody could stay on the show is if they flunk, and that is always a possibility. I think Brittany is pulling straight Fs.” So there are ways to keep some of the cast around longer than others. It’s just a question of if it works with story. Brittany most likely would fail, and I could see a couple of students sticking around to help coach the glee club.
Since “The Glee Project” will produce a new “Glee” star, fans may have been questioning who will win the competition. In a recent interview, the musical drama series’ creator Ryan Murphy has warned that the result may not meet people’s expectations.
“The person that we ended up picking is not who you would expect, but is so talented that it’s really inspired us as writers,” the 45-year-old, who also serves as a judge on the reality show, revealed. He explained that “the person who wins is not necessarily the best singer or the best dancer,” but “it’s the person who can serve ‘Glee’ best.”
Whoever comes out as the champion, he/she will show up early in the third season of the FOX hit series. “Our first episode back [on Glee] is always auditions,” Murphy hinted at the moment which would mark a debut for the new character.
“The Glee Project” features 12 aspiring singers competing for a guest-starring role on “Glee”. In each episode, their skills in front of the camera as well as in the recording studio are tested. Aired every Sunday at 9 P.M. (EST) on Oxygen, the show has eliminated two contestants, Bryce and Ellis.
“Glee”, meanwhile, will return on FOX on Tuesday, September 20.

There was no telling whether Holly Holiday would be back on McKinley High but now it is confirmed. Gwyneth Paltrow who slipped into the character earlier this season would reprise the “Glee” role although she did not share when and for how many episodes.
The actress was lauded for her performance as substitute teacher in place of Mr. Schue who was sick. She performed the tamer version of Cee-Lo’s “F**k You” which the original artist called “awesome”. Then she joined the New Direction in a big number which mashed up Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and the classic “Singin’ in the Rain”. The episode posted a 7% ratings increase from the previous week.
Paltrow herself seemed to enjoy the stint for she told Access Hollywood on Sunday, December 12 that being on “Glee” was “the best job ever”.
Meanwhile, “Glee” is preparing for the episode that will air after Super Bowl on February 6. The filming was scheduled to take place over the weekend but it was temporarily shut down when a number of crew including star Dianna Agron had tonsillitis. Filming is expected to resume on Monday, December 13.
The rumor that Katie Couric was invited to make a “Glee” appearance contains truth after all. Rep of the CBS Evening News anchor confirmed to several media outlets that she is due to be a guest but declined to comment what kind of role she will take.
Words are, she would appear as herself in the much-hyped post-Super Bowl episode in February. New York Post further reported that she is expected to share a scene with Sue Sylvester and would film her part “very soon”.
Couric is self-confessed Gleek, revealing last month, “It’s something my 14-year-old daughter will actually do with me these days.” In coincidence, she would interview “Glee” star Matthew Morrison on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend.
On another piece of casting news, newly-married actor Russell Brand is also set to play himself in a TV series. He, according to NY Post, is signed for an episode of Nickelodeon’s “Big Time Rush”. He is expected to join a party at his beach-front mansion where Big Time Rush will perform. It is thus likely that he would join the band onstage.
The episode is called “Beach Blanket Big Time” but the air date is not yet known.
