Funkified Glee

I wouldn't call myself a Gleek (Glee Geek) but I definitely enjoy watching this show. I definitely think this weeks show was better than last weeks.

I think there was too much hype about it being Lady Gaga music on Glee last week and they really only did two songs. Granted their version of Bad Romance was pretty good but the Poker Face was kinda weird. Sounded great during parts of it - but just way too put beat and cheery sounding for me.

This week was better as it was about "funk" - yet creepier with Will hitting on Sue, and pregnant girls dancing around, but how can you dislike an episode featuring the musical stylings of Mark Wahlberg? Also I wonder if those were real eggs they chucked at Rachel? It must really suck reading your script and then seeing (gets pelted by eggs) as part of the action. YUCK! Hopefully they get it on the first take - altho I can see one of the people throwing the eggs "messing up" so they have to do the scene again, because how often do you get to hurl an egg at someone?

2nd Post - You're not gonna reach my telephone

With the cell phone I have now, you actually might not reach me, but that's besides the point.

I'll admit that I think Lady Gaga is pretty awesome, but I don't always like her songs to begin with. Just Dance and Poker Face were songs I liked right away. But I got hooked on Paparazzi and Bad Romance because I let the radio go for about 20minutes before I actually get out of bed and these songs were always on. They weren't offensive enough to jump up and turn off like Nickleback songs so they stuck. With her latest hit Telephone neither one of these was the case. I actually disliked the song (probably because of the Beyonce part) until I saw the video, and fell in love with the simple choreography.



Something about the dance is infectious. Probably because all you need to do is move your shoulders meaning you can do it in you car, at your desk, in the shower etc. The one thing I don't get is what the heck is this video about. They sing about a club and drinking bub, but those things are nowhere to be found in the mv. Maybe it's just for publicity and to get people talking, because it doesn't really match the lyrics at all.

Keeping on the phone and dancing theme, I wonder if Callo - a gadget that turns your cellphone into a robot - could learn the Lady Gaga dance. If he could I would totally make Telephone my ringtone so Callo could bust a move right out of the video when I got a call. Check him out in action...although the demo isn't super exciting:




He definitely breaks it down better than some people I have seen, but in terms of usefulness I don't see it as much more than a novelty. Callo might get you to notice calls more often, if you're back at keeping track of your phone, but lugging an entire robot around probably wouldn't be worth it. To each his own though.
