<p>Yeah, I’m sure that someone gets that recorded too.
I am SO excited for next week’s episode and Sam singing Baby 
Don’t shoot me, but I love Bieber. HAHA</p>
<p>All the kids in Vocal Adrenaline do their own singing. Lea Michele, Amber Riley, Kevin McHale, Mark Salling, Jenna Ushkowitz (sp?) were all singing before Glee. Corey Monteith (who I love as an actor) must get a lot of auto-tuning. He’s a weak link vocally, I think, as is Dianna Agron.</p>
<p>New Directions = Glee actors
Vocal Adrenaline = their arch rivals with Groff and Charice (Sunshine Corazon)</p>
<p>( well technically they are * all* Glee actors 
)</p>
<p>But it is amazing what a vocal coach can do. I know several musicians who barely sung at all, but with the help of their vocal coach are singing solo & lead- next we’ll have them singing a cappella!</p>
<p>Im thinking of taking lessons myself- Ive heard it helps with asthma.

<p>Oh my gosh, you are so right! Sorry for the blunder. No idea who (besides Groff) in Vocal Adrenaline sings!!!</p>
<p>I feel like Vocal Adrenaline might be recorded too…</p>
<p>soozievt, did you know that the student director of the Bubs, Penn Rosen, is from Vermont? :)</p>
<p>Can the obese girl sing? It didn’t sound like it.Wonder why they chose her when they could have gotten someone large who could sing? Mercedes also plays a large girl, wonder why they needed two?</p>
<p>I went to the taping of the first season Sectionals episode…I believe all the leads sing their own part in the studio for recording purposes, but they were singing along with the playback when recording. I don’t know how many of the background people (eg vocal adrenaline or the warblers) actually sing, but all the leads do their own vocals.</p>
<p>I agree that Corey is somewhat of a weak link, but I love Dianna Agron’s voice…I think they just picked bad songs for her first season. They’ve been doing better recently.</p>
<p>Not too sure what to think about tonight’s episode…the drunken musical numbers did little for me.</p>
<p>Carole King made a statement “be sure to watch Glee tonight.” I was hoping the kids were going to do Carole King, maybe some JT. I was distracted during the show, but all I heard was actual Carole King music as background music. i was disappointed. I wanted to hear the kids do CK.</p>
<p>the show tonight missed the mark in my opinion; on all levels…not sure what it was supposed to represent, but don’t think it hit it…</p>
<p>and I got the Carole King email as well; a little surprised her website would make such a big deal with recorded music…</p>
<p>I know Sue gets away with stuff because we have to suspend belief but she is just getting worse. She is kinda the new Rachel. You know how everyone couldn’t stand Rachel at the beginning of this season well Sue is not funny anymore, she is just sad…</p>
<p>Today’s episode wasn’t that great. I actually was hoping with the lead in last week that we would see Will and Beist going to bed together. Alot of storyline could have played off of that.</p>
<p>I think they did a horrible job with the message on alcohol. Too much time showing how much fun it was and very little time illustrating the consequences. Speaking of consequences, they all got off scot free with the principal… no suspension or anything. Bad, bad message.</p>
<p>My 16 year old’s take who hasn’t gotten to see it yet
no kid would watch if you were preaching to them
playing drunk is funny
this is more real
I worry about young kids who watch this- grade school and middle school only seeing the fun and the message being so lightly touched. I wish someone had gotten a DUI, someone in trouble not that it’s just an embarrassment if you say or do something that isn’t like you would do sober.</p>
<p>I was uncomfortable watching at first. But after seeing the entire thing, I am pretty sure that the supreme embarrassment that ALL of the main characters suffered because of their excessive drinking and resultant out-of-control behavior would make more of a big impression on teens than the more typical messages about DUI, pictures of wrecks, main characters getting injured, etc. The types of things you would usually see in a “message” episode about alcohol, you know?</p>
<p>And my perspective is born of growing up with an alcoholic parent…so I am VERY uncomfortable watching people who are drunk or actors portraying that. I never, ever have thought it was funny…even if it was meant to be. </p>
<p>But again, the Glee writers have chosen to deliver their messages through the use of outrageous and extreme actions and circumstances. </p>
<p>And, fourkidsmom, I would hope an adult would be watching along with any grade-school or middle school kid…discussion would DEFINITELY need to happen!!</p>
<p>Also, I loved the twist where Blane and Kurt were talking and Blane made Kurt see how he was sort of ridiculing him for his choices as he himself had been ridiculed…</p>
<p>I didn’t read any other posts in this thread, but I speak in complete contrast to the OP. Personally, despite the rather positives messages portrayed in this TV show, they do a terrible job at it. A few weeks ago, they featured a song saying “Transylvania, the city of Transvestites.” While I do admire their dedication to gain acceptance for the LGBT community, I’m utterly appalled by the way they carry it out. Now all of these millions of Glee viewers will simply think of Transylvania as some weird city in a musical in which a lot of transvestites live in. But that’s completely incorrect and moronic. Transylvania is a wonderful city influenced by many of the greatest cultures in history (The Romans, Ottomans, Hapsburgs, etc). And ESPECIALLY the frequent nudity and not-so-subtle sexual references are despicable. Honestly, although the morals they preach are respectable, their influential level isn’t much higher than any other dumb show that frequently expresses sexual connotations, such as Jersey Shore.</p>
<p>My 16-year-old felt the message tonight was very weak. In fact, he felt that most of the episode glorified getting completely drunk. I think the message was pretty strong about not driving under the influence, but weak otherwise.</p>
<p>Honestly, parents should take it upon their own responsibility to guide their children into the right moral path, instead of making them watch a TV show telling them to do so (and rather poorly).</p>
<p>Good Lord…</p>
<p>Glee is a TV SHOW. It’s meant for entertainment purposes. If you’re trusting a TV show meant for entertainment to teach your kids morals, you’ve got bigger problems.</p>
