I forgot to mention, the blonde judge was HILARIOUS.

Terrific episode

Awsome. And I loved My Life Would Suck Without You or "The Greatest Moves" performance at the end. If this was the last episode ever it would've been awesome. I'm glad they wrapped almost everything up in these 13 episode. Can't wait for the next 9 episodes.

Personally their picks for the Nationals weren't as good as their best ones yet (Don't Stop Believing, Somebody to Love). I was a bit disappointed.

The judges were hilarious.

I thought the group pick was disappointing, but Lea Michele did awesome with the opening. I loved it.

I was under the impression that they did do Somebody to Love as well for the competition, and that they just didn't show that part of the routine because... well, we've already seen it once and why pay for the rights a second time? I agree Don't Always Get What You Want wasn't one of their better songs though. Let's just assume that it was the unseen Somebody to Love that got them the trophy.

Yeah. I was wondering where the third song went, because it was always three picks. But I thought they couldn't do Somebody because of Kristin. She sang it. And she was brilliant. It wouldn't be the same.

Kristin didn't sing it - she sang "Last Name". Then she left before "Somebody To Love", and Rachel came back to save the day.

I was going by the mp3. Rachel sounds so much like Kristen in this song

Renewed for a second season this morning!

Was there even a doubt there would be a second season?

I am completely head over heels in love with this show.

Who isn't?

I'm fairly certain I woke up my neighbors at 5 in the morning when I finished "Sectionals," just because I was laughing and clapping like a maniac.

So, so, so happy Glee is back.

Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff's (Spring Awakening reunion zomg) duet of "Hello" was gorgeous.

Will making out with Idina Menzel was super out of nowhere and random. Even though he and Emma seemed to "break up" in this episode before they ever started being together, I'm still majorly rooting for them.

"Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?" Brittany, forever the funniest fringe character.

Also, Sue's Vogue video was the greatest thing I have ever seen. And: "I'm going to bring some Asian cookery to rub your head with because right now you have enough product to season a wok."

Very weak return, the Madonna episode will be better I guess

I was extremely pleased with the return. Maybe it's just because I'm so happy it's back. I don't know, but I thought it was very entertaining. Did not care for Will making out with the other woman though.

LOVED the Vogue video with Sue. So awesome! Can't wait for the next episode.

Dear Glee,
I love you to an unhealthy degree.

There were SO many songs in this episode that I almost felt whiplash at one point but I can't say I minded all that much. "Express Yourself," "4 Minutes" (Mercedes and Kurt=so fierce) and "Borderline/Open Your Heart" were all lots of fun. I almost wish we hadn't been spoiled last week with Sue's "Vogue" video because it's still the greatest thing in the history of time. The "Like a Virgin" scene was really well-edited and well-done. And don't even get me started on "Like a Prayer," which is my favorite song of all time. I was just sorry they couldn't perform the whole thing on the show.

Tina and Artie! Yay.

I feel like Jesse is going to destroy Rachel and we're going to witness a lot of angst.

"When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist."

"Mr. Shue, is he your son?"

Brittany's the funniest thing on TV.

The "Like a Virgin" montage was incredibly well-done, and the hard-cut from the song to all three of them standing there, uncomfortable, with Rachel's "I'm ready" felt positively Whedon-y to me.

Glee, I can say, makes me happier than any show I've ever watched. It just makes me SO HAPPY. The Madonna episode was brill.

Peace,
Mike

This episode was pure brilliance.

I LOVED this episode! I love GLEE night! I hate to think that someday it will have to come to an end.

I can't wait for the complete first season to be on DVD! I would love it if they'd release it shortly after the episodes air instead of waiting until the end of summer/fall. I want to own it right away!

Awesome episode! It also helps that I love Madonna. For all I care they can make a whole season out of Madonna songs.

This was probably the most serious and least funny Glee episode so far but I really enjoyed it. And they were seriously manipulating my tear ducts tonight.

Finn and his mom, Mercedes and her beautiful "Beautiful" solo (plus the bonding with Quinn), Kurt and his dad, etc. So much poignancy.

I adore Kristin Chenoweth. Both of her duets with Will were great, especially "One Less Bell to Answer/A House Is Not A Home." And "Home" soared.

I was glad Mercedes and Kurt took center stage for once. I think Rachel is a great character and Lea Michele is phenomenal but it was nice to see her not featured heavily for once.

So much good music tonight.

Jessie Girl! Yes yes yes. Lady is a Tramp was lots of fun, plus Mark Salling is about 30 kinds of hot, which helps.

We finally got to hear Santana sing a little bit. I feel like they didn't develop enough of a rivalry between her and Mercedes (like, at all), but I still enjoyed the song. I have fond memories of The Boy Is Mine.

Loved Kurt singing Rose's Turn. And the scene between Kurt and his dad was incredibly touching. Who would have thought Mike O'Malley had the ability to show such compassion and heart? Probably the more realistic "parent with gay child" depiction I've ever seen on television.

One was also beautiful, although the paralyzed boy teaching Rachel A Very Important Lesson treaded a little too close into the "after school special" vibe this show hits sometimes.

Absolutely cannot wait for next week. NPH!
