Glee Season 2 Premier "Audition"

Aaaaaand GLEE is back in my life.  Thank you FOX.  I couldn't be more filled with.... well.... glee.  There are few things in my life these days that seem to draw the estrogen out of my body at such a rampant pace the way that this show does.  I don't know if it's the musical numbers, the hot boys, or the diva's with voices that could shatter mountains, but it does the trick.


The opener to Season 2 is aptly named "Audition" as the McKinley High Glee Club has lost a member due to Matt being transferred to another school.  If you don't remember who Matt was from last season then you already know why he was transferred.  According to the Ohio Show Choir rule book, a glee club isn't a glee club unless there are at least 12 members.  This means they gotta hit the ground running and encourage more students to audition.


Rather than discuss the Season 2 Opener which most definitely did not disappoint, allow me to point out some of the more important points of the show.

Item 1: Mike Chang, played by Harry Shum Jr, is not only a more prominent cast member this year due to what was apparently an overwhelming amount of fan mail and blogs encouraging the emergence of his character, he is also a hot piece of ass.  Hello!?!?  I've never wanted to go to "Asian Summer Camp" more than I did last nite.

Item 2: The producers of GLEE snuck in a home-erotic moment (because we all know they almost never do that in this show... pause for sarcasm) in the form of a shower scene with new cast member Sam, played by Chord Overstreet, that echoed the scene when Mr. Schuester was homo-erotically spying on Finn showering.  Except this time, it was Finn doing the spying.  That my friends, is how to Gay it Forward.  The strangest thing about Sam is that he totes reminds me of my ex-boyfriend/current best friend, Jordan.  Same flowing blond locks, piercing blue eyes and yes, same unusually large mouth.  Love you, Jordan.  Don't hate me.

STAND OUT PERFORMANCE

Hands down?  It was not Cherise's belting out of "Listen" from "Dreamgirls", or Rachel's rendition of "What I Did for Love" from "AChorus Line".  No No No.  That honor would have to go to Finn Hudson, played by Cory Monteith, who auditioned to be a Cheerio.  That dance is now burned into my memory.
