journey

My eyes are wet from crying. 

I just watched the season finale of Glee; Journey. And it was very emotional. A good way to end the season though.

There were so many moments I loved about the episode. 

The title itself is really appropriate. New Directions' numbers were all from Journey and the episode taught about journeys too.

I like how they started the show with "Don't Stop Believing" and closed it with the song as well. 

Vocal Adrenaline's Bohemian Rhapsody was juxtaposed with Quinn's delivery. Couldn't be better.

And Sue Sylvester is her usual self; trying to bring down the club but you'll be surprised to know what she does in the end. 

I wished there were more Rachel and Finn moments, but those that were there were sweet to say the least. :)

To Sir With Love being sung after all that happened just added more meaning and emotion.

Faithfully was awesome. 



Everything else was too. 

To sum up, the best thing I learned from the episode was that life is a journey. To put it my own words; we're always so worried about what happens when we get there and that seems to be our only concern; but what's more important is the getting there. To make the most out of what we have, to go on the 'ride of our lives'. 

Now, the long wait till September... 

What am I even doing here; I have a paper tomorrow...

To quote Aaron Yee; "I think Glee's the reason I might do badly in my exams." Hope not. :P

glee numbers

One of the reasons I love Glee is due to their awesome songs (covers, rather). I've barely heard most of the songs they cover and some are effectively stuck in my mind. Some songs that originally sound old and stuff are given a fresh vibe.

Firstly, for those who haven't heard of Glee, you've been living under a rock. And for those who haven't watched it, let me just clear a misconception you might have. It is NOT like HSM, not at all. The songs come in naturally; eg. Glee club assignments, characters practicing songs that express how they feel. And even if you might hate the show, it's hard to hate the songs..

I've decided to come up with a list of my top 11 favourite Glee numbers. Why 11 and not 10 you ask; it's too close to call. The show's finale is to be aired next week, and to date there's got to be at least 70plus songs to choose from. This is tough. The words in brackets are the episodes the songs are in, for those Gleeks out there who want to watch it again. I thought of putting links to the song, but I guess you can just do that if you're interested to listen.

11. Lean On Me (Ballad)

10. Don't Rain On My Parade (Sectionals)

9. Defying Gravity (Wheels)

8. Smile [Charlie Chaplin version] (Mattress)

7. I Dreamed A Dream (Dream On)

6. You Can't Always Get What You Want (Sectionals)

5. Run Joey Run (Bad Reputation)

4. Hello Goodbye (Hell-O)

3. Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Bad Reputation)

2. Don't Stop Believing (Pilot & Season Finale/Regionals)

1. Somebody To Love (The Rhodes Not Taken)

Don't ask me why I'm doing this. I know time is running short, 4 more days till exam start. Haha. I guess I need a break too. :D

And, for those Gleeks out there, what are your favourite numbers? For others, you might not watch, but you simply must hear the covers. Till then!
