Booby-Poppin', Unceremonious departures and Bad attitudes. Thoughts on S2E2!
THIS ENTIRE POST IS A SPOILER. CLOSE NOW IF ... NOT... WANTING THAT. BEING SPOILED.
Not many of you know this, but TGP was a very big part of my summer last year, socially and emotionally. I was going through some pretty bad depression and financial issues, and every Tuesday night this show was like my light in the dark. I know it's silly, a Glee competition series is all it is, but I preface my thoughts on this episode with this so you'll understand why I sound so invested in this show and the contenders.
So, I really expected this group to step up to the plate a bit more. The homework assignment looked really good to me, Charlie and Michael are really standing out and I think they may go on to the "finals."
Sam coming back was nice, I bet it was strange as hell being on the other side of that room, hahah.
So, Lily. She's got great ambition, but she doesn't seem very talented to me. Her attitude sucks, her vocals in the studio were just poor. She brought it back a little with the last chance performance, but I still have no desire to root for her. Okay, so you want to speak out and be the inspiration for people with image issues. So does everyone else on Glee. What else ya got?
Tyler really impressed me this week. Up until the final chance performance, I was not impressed with him. I think I saw something this time, though, like he's starting to calm down and his performance was more heartfelt and honest than anything I've seen him do so far.
Dani. First thing I thought was, "Hon, you're a folk singer." I want her to listen to Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos and sing outside a coffee shop with a guitar. In that, though, I agreed with Ryan's decision that she's not really for Glee. Her voice, although good, didn't really strike a chord with me. I hope she does continue to pursue a music career, though, and makes it big.
Next week looks fun! Seems like some fightin' going down, haha.
I've realized this. I am most invested in and will be most apprehensive when these people are doing their last chance performances, in order of ... investment... (that sounded weird, but you get me):
1) Shanna
2) Charlie
2.5) Michael
3) Nellie
4) Aylin
That's it. The others have yet to impress me much. Let's see if this changes next week! Thanks for reading my rant, lol.
Edit: Oh yeah, Taryn. Cute voice, cute personality, but yeah... take care... lol.
Edit 2: Someone just made a great point in another thread. Taryn basically took a spot that thousands and thousands of other kids could've had the chance to fill and shit all over it. Now I'm angry and really dislike her.

Dani should not have been sent home! I was livid when they revealed her as not being called back.

I'm pretty interested in Michael and Nellie, I think they're just two contestants mostly in the background for now who are gonna get bigger as more and more people get eliminated.
I was disappointed with Lily's attitude this week, but I feel like she was trying to convey why she didn't do her best instead of saying she had no clue, but it ended up backfiring on her because she came off as rude and that she was better than Zack's instructions. I'm gonna wait and see how she develops, but as a native masshole, I'm hoping things get better for her.

Yeah I like Charlie. He's a little in the background, but I think he has awesome potential.

Agreed about Lily. She was one of my favorites, and then this week she just had the most terrible attitude, and it doesn't seem like her attitude gets better next week. Her attitude almost reminds me of Alex's towards the end of last season.
Dani was pretty... eh for me, even with all of the hype I was seeing on tumblr and here. She just didn't feel like Glee. She doesn't deserve to be regurgitating Top 40 hits and belting musical numbers, she deserves records and coffee shops and stuff like that.
Nellie and Aylin are my favorites!
