Welcome Back- I'm Still Standing

So I’m ready to try this again...

As you all know this is a Glee based blog, and I got to say I’m so impressed with this third season. All the drama, music and most of all how much they are really focusing on teen issues. 

So far the music this season has been amazing! I’m gonna share my favourite numbers with you.

•        Take Care of Yourself
•        Bein’ Green
•        Home
•        I Can’t go For That/You Make My Dreams
•         We Are Young
•       Man in the Mirror
•       Fighter
•       Somebody That I Used to Know
•       I’m Still Standing

This is just a great song, with a great message! Give it a listen J

As for the drama, well there’s just been so much!

To start us off, Mr. Sam Evans has returned after a depressing leave of absence. Blaine has transferred to William McKinley High to be with his love Kurt. Rory Flanagan (Damian McGinty) is our first foreign exchange student. The New Directions have won both Sectionals and Regional’s and are preparing for Nationals. Finn and Rachel or Finchel are engaged, and were going to get married. Quinn was in an accident which has left her in a wheel chair. David Karofsky has come out of the closet, and tried to commit suicide. Mike Chang can SING! As I said a lot has gone down this season.

The teen issues have been really serious this season. "The first time," teen suicide, teenage marriage and as always sexual orientation acceptance. 

Teen suicide has been a big issue lately, especially in younger children. Around the world every 40 seconds someone commits suicide. In the case of Glee, Karofsky made it through his ordeal. This brings us to sexual orientation acceptance, watching this show has made it more clear on how much teenage gays really suffer in the society. Everyone should have the right to love who they want when they want simple as that. 

Now, "the first time" is a touchy subject. Most people will tell you to wait till you're in love, but lets face it this is the 21st century, not everything will work out as it used it. So if you do end up being sexually active, remember to have protection always. As for teenage marriage, if you want to get married go ahead, but only if you're really sure you love the person. Finn made an excellent point in this weeks episode when he asked Rachel to be sure she loved him and not the person she wanted him to be.

Well that's it for now, and of course everyone has made the callbacks

Sing it Out - Jessie's Girl

Alright here goes nothing...

So I was asked, what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "Glee", and I said singing... This was a bit too general so when asked what song I thought of first when thinking of Glee I came up with this...

Now, I'm not personally a fan of the original version, but I have to say that I love Cory's cover. Maybe you won't agree, and that's your right, but I like his tone of voice better than Rick Springfield's.

And yes, before you ask, Josh is more or less writing this for me lol He suggested that I try writing a blog, we decided on Glee as the topic and here stands The Stage. Actually, before I get into the real substance of the blog... I should probably introduce myself lol.

My name is Hayley, I'm 18 and I'm a PROUD GLEEK!!!! There isn't really much more than that, that you need to know :P I figured I'd let you all know I'm not some sort of serial killer, plotting to end the world.. or am I? Nah I'm nowhere near smart enough, lol.

Jessie's Girl has to be one of my favourite Glee songs of all time, the irony in it was just so sweet. Although some pitches were off, and the key was...well interesting, it still made for an entertaining 3 minutes. The only songs I think that could possibly top it are... 'Sing', 'Loser Like Me', 'Raise Your Glass' and 'Pretending'...but those will be for some later posts.

Well that's all for now, thanks to whoever actually reads this post.. it means a lot to me and because of that, you all make the callbacks. :)
