The Spanish Teacher Episode Review

The Spanish Teacher” was one hot, hot episode! Let’s review, you know you want to!

In the beginning was a realization: Mr. Schue isn’t the best Spanish teacher around. His rendition of “La Cucaracha” sure was… something. I don’t know what was better- the big, stereotypical outfits (gotta love those sombreros) or the look on the students faces.

Soon after, we learn that a 10-year teaching position is available and everybody wants it.

Mr. Schue goes to night classes at McKinely to freshen up on his Spanish, which is where Ricky Martin comes in! Ricky’s character, David Martinez gives Mr. Schue the idea to have a Latin music week in the Glee club. How does he kick the week off?

Ricky Martin. Sang. Sexy. And. I. Know. It. In. Half. English. And. Half. Spanish!!! I’m pretty sure almost everybody can agree; that was one of the sexiest performances on Glee.

In Samcedes news, Sam and Mercedes go to visit Ms. Pillsbury, where they accept the challenge to not communicate with each other at all for a whole week to figure out their feelings for each other.

The shocker of the night: Sue wants to become pregnant- and she wants Will to be the daddy. Emma has a problem with this and confronts Sue about why she wanted Will to be her sperm donor, which resulted in a heart-warming tale of how she wanted her child to be a good person like Will.

Santana and Mr. Martinez dance and sing “La Isla Bonita” together, which Will had a problem with. He wondered why David was at the school during the day as he was a night teacher, but let’s face it- he was just jealous. Mr. Schue sings a Spanish translated version of “A Little Less Conversation” which was one of the intentionally worst performances in the world. Santana goes off on Mr. Schue for making a joke of the Latin culture and reveals that she complained to Principal Figgins about Mr. Schue’s teaching.

In the end, Emma is the one who gets the 10-year teaching position after a fight with Will and a silly pamphlet discovery. David Martinez takes over as the day time Spanish teacher and Will takes a history teaching position (the previous teacher left after going crazy)

Performance Ratings

“La Cucaracha”- Do I actually have to rate this? 1 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. It was only about 10 seconds long, which was 10 seconds too long.

“Sexy and I Know it”- 5 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter! I don’t have words to describe how amazing the performance was. Seriously, it was just… wow.

“Don’t Wanna Lose You” 2 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. Eh, nothing stuck out at me.

“Bamboleo/Hero”- 3 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I liked it, but it wasn’t anything so spectacular.

“La Isla Bonita”- 4 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I liked the dancing, but the lighting and Santana’s outfit looked a bit night clubbish to me.

“A Little Less Conversation”- 1 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. That was bad. Really, really bad. The bulls and the matador outfit was so intentionally horrible. It was good from the writers standpoint of it because it was supposed to be bad.

Guest stars- Ricky Martin and NeNe Leakes

"Michael" Episode Review

Who's bad?

Not the Glee cast! Those New Directioners would have made MJ proud! They took a crescendo to every single song! Musically, this was one of the best episodes. Let's start something and review the episode!

First up we have Blaine singing "Wanna be Startin' Something". I loved how the song ended with all of the Glee clubbers all in different MJ outfits. If nothing else, the song taught us all one important thing: you’re a vegetable.

Next is a street performance of “Bad”. My, my, was there drama in that song! Between the tampered with slushy, a blinded Blaine and the loss of respect for the Warblers, the performance was bad! (How many jokes can I make about the song titles? For those of you keeping score, that’d be 3 times so far.)

After that, there was an eye-liner and anger charged performance of “Scream”. I must say, seeing Artie out of his wheelchair was odd in itself. I was a little upset that Mike’s dance number wasn’t as extreme as I thought it would be. But, it was a Michael Jackson Glee episode. I can’t complain too much.

Next was “Never Can Say Goodbye”. The song actually bored me a little. It was a nice performance and all, but compared to the others, nothing really happened.

After that was one of my favorites of the night: “Human Nature” Sam and Mercedes are meant to be together, and the kiss at the end of the song just proved my theory even more.

Next up was “Ben”. That was one cute Finchel moment! Rachel said YES to Finn’s proposal. Should she have? Comment with your thoughts.

After that, my ABSOLUTE favorite moment of the night: “Smooth Criminal” Santana and Sebastian- two of the smoothest criminals around Ohio, dueling it out. They both killed the song like the criminal killed Annie! (And who is Annie?)

“I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” is up next. What can I say? Just a cute little song.

“Black or White” The number was powerful and strong and just what you would expect from a Glee group number.

So, to sum the episode up, Blaine got attacked by a slushy with rock salt in it. (A clever way to disguise his absence while he was away in the Broadway production of “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying”) The entire episode revolved around New Direction battling it out for the right to use MJ songs for regionals. Quinn got accepted to Yale and Kurt made the finalists for NYADA, which freaks out Rachel because she had yet to receive her letter. So, in an “I have no real plan for my life” move, Rachel said yes to Finn’s proposal.

Performance ratings-

Wanna Be Startin’ Something- 3 and a half out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. It was pretty cool, but not as cool as other performances.

Bad- 4 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I loved the performance. I never took my eyes off of the screen.

Scream-4 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. Wow… I’m actually speechless. It was a lot of leather and eyeliner and spikes…

Never Can Say Goodbye- 2 on the wow-o-meter. Eh, it wasn’t much.

Human Nature- 4 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. Samcedes for LIFE. Enough said.

Ben-2 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I wasn’t all that impressed.

Smooth Criminal- 5 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I’m obsessed with that song! Santana and Sebastian seriously attacked that song and owned it! The 2Cello guys were awesome, the vocals were amazing and I was blown away!

I Just Can’t Stop Loving You- 2 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. Nothing stuck out at me.

Black or White- 4 out of 5 on the wow-o-meter. I don’t know why I liked it but I really did!
