Schuester even says directly that he wants the students to find their voices. It can be argued that the episode is a little heavy-handed. The musical numbers are a lot of fun, and the lip synching (though still obvious) isn’t quite as pronounced or distracting as last week. Their brief relationship is very, very funny.Įven without a major storyline for Sue, ‘Laryngitis’ is a quite entertaining episode. This week, she believes that Kurt has gone straight and assigns herself as his girlfriend, mainly so that she can complete her goal of making out with every guy in school. Even her cutaway reaction shots are priceless. She rarely has much to say, much less sing, but each time she does get some dialogue, every line is a howler. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that dimwit cheerleader Brittany is my favorite character.

Speaking of jealousy, Kurt is unhappy about all the time his father keeps spending with Finn. This most odd of pairings leads to a showdown with jealous Santana, and a dueling duet to “The Boy is Mine.” She’s having none of it at first, but eventually sees some benefit in the relationship. His plan to move back up in the social strata is to date Mercedes, because she’s suddenly popular, and it’s always a good idea to date a popular girl.

Even the nerds are no longer afraid of him. Puck shaves his mohawk and immediately loses his mojo. If she can’t sing, just what is she worth as a human being? Rachel loses her voice (while singing an awful Miley Cyrus song how appropriate) and worries that having her tonsils removed will affect her ability to sing. Question for readers: Is U2 really considered “Classic Rock” now? Geezus, this show makes me feel old sometimes.Īnyway, episode ‘Laryngitis’ is all about being broken down and built back up. The award for best line in this week’s ‘Glee’ goes to Puck: “I’m a sex shark.
