Glee - A Katy or A Gaga (5x04)

The tension at McKinley High is rising, because nationals are up in just 6 weeks and after finding out that they have some new competition ("throat explosion") the glee club is freaking out! Apparently "Throat explosion" (seriously, who came up with that name?!) is a hard working group of people, performing all day, like mini Lady Gagas. Aaaand here we go; after figuring out, that there are some Gagas and some Katys in the club Mr. Shuster determines the assignment for the week: Al Gagas will become Katys and all Katys will become Gagas......this should be interesting!
Meanwhile back in New York Kurt wants to start a new band!! Finally, I thought he would never put his looks and his amazing voice to good use;) Well Santana and Dani are all for it and join the band, but Rachel is not up for it just yet and tells them that she has too much on her plate right now, especially with the "Funny Girl" rehearsals. So Kurt, Santana and Dani hold open auditions aaaand no one shows up......except for: STARCHILD aka. the best special guest of all times: Adam Lambert!! There are no words for this amazing performance, so I´ll just let it speak for itself....ladies and gentleman Starchild performing "Marry the Night":


I just loved how they let Adam just be...well, Adam. For everyone, who does not know who Mr. Lambert is; first of all shame on you! And secondly here some quick infos: Adam was on American Idol in 2009 and made it all the way to the finale, where he lost against Kris Allan. From the very beginning he was very, lets say "free" in his performances and just performed the heck out of every performance! He enjoyed the loud numbers as well as the quiet ones. Here are just some of my favourites from American Idol:


There are so many more...you should really check them out!!!

So "Starchild" has Santana and Dani on his side and they totally love him, but Kurt of all people think he should "tone down his looks". Really Kurt, this.....coming from you?! The Lady Gaga of McKinley High?

Well later we learn that he wants to go more mainstream because he thinks that this is the only way to have success. It actually kind of hurt me to hear these words from Kurt. His character is special, because he never adapted himself to anything and was/is proud of the way that he lives his life, so why stop now?Especially in New York of all places?! This is basically what Rachel tells him and Kurt really listens, there is only one problem.....he doesn´t have "Starchilds" number or even his full name...bummer!!

Back at McKinley Sam is worried that he can not impress his new crush, the school nurse with his soft Katy Perry moves and is glad that he as a "Katy" is able to transform into a "Gaga" this week. So he goes totally crazy when he tries to have the weirdest performance of "Applause" of all times, Gaga would have been proud!


I have no words for what I´ve just seen.....just NO words;)
There is another couple that has some trouble in their pink paradise.....Marley and Jake. They slowly start to realise, that they don´t really have much in common. And it does not really help, that Bree butts in and wants Jake´s help with some of the choreos for the cheerios. He first says no, but after some encouragement from his girlfriend he agrees to help. Ugh Marley really.....are you blind. Take off those pink glasses and take a look; your boy will be all over Bree if you let him and you can be shure she won´t say no! Right after the "Applause" performance Marley is suspended, because she wanted to be herself.....a Katy! I was actually kind of mad that mister Shue did not see that and encouraged her to be the one thing that is most important: herself!
Okay, so after we have seen the Gaga group perform let´s take a look how far the Katy group is with their performance.....no that far;) They want to have this huge spectacle and even try to get a tiger for their performance at some point. Well, when they did not get the tiger, this happens:

I laughed so hard when I saw Jake dressed up like.....well he said it best:"a gay thundercat"! :)
So after realizing that they have to tone it down a tiiiny bit, they deliver my favourite performance of the entire episode:



What about Sam and his school nurse you ask?! Well after he comes over to ask her, how she liked the totally crazy, weird performance she tells him, that she did not like it at all. It turns out, that she only dated bad boys to seem "cool" and not boring, but all it brought her was heartbreak and a lot of stolen stuff^^ They find out, that they have more in common than they thought, for example they both like Katy Perry!!

So they kiss and that's it! Sorry if I keep this kind of short, but to be honest, I don´t really care about those two too much;)

Back in New York Kurt is working when he meets Starchild again!! Oh thank god! His real name is Elliot and he CAN TONE  DOWN his looks;)

He joins the band and after debating on a name the "Pamela Landsberrys" have their first performance in Kurt, Rachel and Santanas place:




Oh, you wonder, why Jake acted so weird, when he saw Bree and Marley....well after a bit of a jealous rush from Marleys side and a fight between Jake and Marley the sexy "Tarzan" seems to have hooked up with "The new Santana". Oh god, I really hope that it didn´t happen but judging from his reaction something went down!! We will have to wait till next week to find out. Just "hang" in there guys;)
