#unique rules

As we move into the latter half of the season, the songs in each episode become more and more of a mixed bag.  There are some numbers I really like in this and some amazing moments.  And then there’s Vocal Adrenaline...

Ugh, speaking of VA I’m not wasting the bandwidth or one my precious 5 video slots on this post for this 1:12 video.  Basically they sing Bon Jovi and Will reflects on his improved station in life but the kids are jerks and hate him.

So the Anderberry twins get egged and Will thinks he is going to show the VA dickwads how to become better like he did with New Directions.  (Excuse me what?!? I demand receipts on this.)  Which means it’s time for Will to ret-con his relationship with Unique.  This song has every awful thing about him: lack of self awareness and rapping.  I’m sorry you had to be a part of this, Unique.

Onward to the Rachel Berry House Party Train-wreck Extravaganza part two!  If ND learned anything from Will it was clearly that boundaries should be ignored. So here we are in the basement drinking with minors.  But I’m going to let that slide because the songs in this episode are finally starting to get good.  Roderick and Mercedes sound great on this number and I love them as a duo singing this song.  I also love Hummelberry being epic white dorks.  Once again, Mercedes elevates every moment.  *chef’s kiss*. Minors aside, I would love to be at this party.

So we can all agree that at this point everyone is wasted, right?  Or maybe Mason and Madison have just had too much sugar.  Regardless, this Kluet (yep I said that) is adorable and catchy as all get out.  S6 has a lot of parallels to S2 and here we see Blaine watch Kurt sing with intensifying hearteyes.  It’s no Blackbird moment, but this is a moment for Blaine all the same.  He cannot resist this gorgeous specimen in that dumb hat.  (I cannot blame him one bit.). I ship two idiots and ship them hard.  

Is this song about Rachel’s friendships or Klaine’s romance?  Both, both is good.  Samchel have just boned upstairs (again this is a party with your students present) so now it’s time to lay around in that afterglow with this number.  I like the collection of memories they show as HP style moving pictures in her room but this song brings all the fun we were just having to a halt.  Wow this mid-game has had a lot of songs.

We end the episode with the best thing Glee has done in a while.  It’s a triumphant moment for Unique owning the stage and singing in support of Sheldon (with that impressive choir behind her!).  Some Glee songs are fun or good, this moment is Iconic.  Capital I.  This song from Hairspray and her amazing voice already make the moment but, as Sheldon gets his serenade, the curtain comes up and there is not a dry eye at this laptop.  So fucking good.

And here we are the end of the post.  Release the hounds!

There are so few songs in this short season!  I am not making multiple posts that break things up into best solo, group, etc.  Instead, here is my top 5 within those categories.  This is how Le Hag sees it.

Best Solos:  The Unique solo stands out and that was an easy pick.  The other best solo took some soul searching (but no coin tossing).  Roderick’s “Take Me To Church” was third in line but these are the top two.

Jane rules.  She rules.  She breathes fresh air into the Warblers and her solo in this scene is well done all around.  It is a great song and an important moment of tension early in the season.  I love everything about it.

Unique slays this song and has one of the most iconic moments of the series.  it is both a beautiful moment and a gorgeous performance.  11/10.

Best Duets:  *gasp* Kurt duets?  Who would have suspected I’d pick Kurt duets?  Yeah, I know, there are some other good ones but this is my ranking and therefore I decree these to be the best.

Glee makes a Klaine fanvid and we all want to cry.  It hurts so good I watched it twice.  All the feels!  All the Klangst!  They sound so good together, why can’t they BE together?!?  *dying whale noises*

Hummelberry does Wicked and I am powerless against their charm.  Look at these adorable fuckers!  This song is a perfect moment and these two deliver good on this duet.

Best Group Number: Is there any doubt that I would pick this one?  Not only is this the last group number we get, and therefore the last image of Glee club as group, but it is also a number that includes everyone opening themselves up to joy.  And Kurt has on tight red pants.
