It's that time of the year... the time when we sing sad songs and show our sad faces because the Glee season 4 finale is here. While we are excited to see how this season wraps up, we're sad to know another season has come and gone and TMB has to deal once again with almost a 4 month hiatus.
But... we go through this every year. We'll still have some content... hopefully a new face lift, and some new features on the blog this summer. But until then, we still have one more first listen, so make sure you check out the Glee episode 4x22 "All or Nothing" songs below:

-Bonnie & Whitney
What a wonderfully optimistic episode... for a change. Now, let's get ready for some angst with next week's SEASON FINALE?!?! I can't believe it's already coming to a close, but Season 4 has just about come and gone. Let's see what we have to look forward to in next week's Glee 4x22: "All or Nothing":
Super excited! Mostly I love that Brittany is so brilliant. We always knew she was a genius didn't we? ;) Chat it up in the comments below or on Twitter: @TroutyMouthBlog!
For the record, I've wanted a Motown tribute for like... since Glee started. While this is technically all Motown - it isn't quite what I had in mind, but I love it nonetheless. Stevie Wonder is a legend... He's the man. So when I was listening to this week's Glee episode (4x21 "Wonder-Ful"), I sort of teared up a little bit.
Not only does the cast do Stevie justice, but... as they always do... they added a little bit of flair to make these songs their own. Check 'em out:
Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours Performed by: Becca Tobin
Uptight (Everything's Alright) Performed by: Kate Hudson
You Are the Sunshine of My Life Performed by: Chris Colfer
Higher Ground Performed by: Amber Riley
I Wish Performed by: Jacob Artist
For Once In My Life Performed by: Kevin McHale
Superstition Performed by: Amber Riley, Darren Criss & Melissa Benoist
How amazing is this? Kevin McHale, you are a God. Stevie Wonder is a legend, and Glee does him justice for sure! Tell us what you think in the comments below or hit us up on Twitter: @TroutyMouthBlog.
I know it's a little bit late, but here's our Glee Song Request for April!
This week's theme: Solos!(ish)... At least songs mainly sung by one person... Whatever! We tried. Here we go - sit back, relax, and enjoy our thoughts!
SONG: "This Used to Be My Playground" by Madonna
WHO SINGS IT: Quinn
SCENARIO: Quinn comes back to McKinley for the young'ns graduation. While there, they have a small reunion in the choir room. She announces to everyone then that her mom is moving to Connecticut to be closer to her. Her dad remarried and moved away, so there's really nothing left for her in Ohio. All of the old New Directions realize that everyone's growing up and some people have to move on. She and her friends cheers to the good times at McKinley and walk out of the choir room doors. Quinn is the last to leave, and as she looks back, she sees a flashback of her and all of her friends laughing in the choir room. The music begins and she turns off the lights.
As she proceeds down the hall she peeks into Sue's office, into the gym, and proceed out to the back field, all the while reminiscing about times at McKinley, where we'll see a montage of old scenes from Seasons 1-3.
LYRICS SUNG:
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me

SONG: "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore
WHO SINGS IT: Sam
SCENARIO: Sam and Brittany break up. The boys rally together to help cheer him up. Blaine says that shopping always makes him feel better. Since Blaine and Sam are BFF, Sam thinks that's an excellent idea. But because he's in high school, his parents are still struggling a little bit and he doesn't have time for a job with school and Glee club, he can't afford shopping. Teen Jesus steps in and announces that he buys all of his clothes from thrift shops, and suggests they start there. They get up to leave, and the scene immediately changes to a thrift shop floor where they're all walking around looking for clothes -- all the while Sam's rapping to "Thrift Shop".
LYRICS SUNG: Blaine:I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin' for a come up
This is really awesome
Walk into the club like what up I'm a big shot
I'm so pumped I bought some stuff from a thrift shop
Ice in the fringe is so damn frosty
The people like "Damn, that's a cold ass honkey!"
Rollin'in hella deep headed to the mezanine
Dressed in all pink 'cept my gator shoes those are green
Draped in a leopard mink girls standin' next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, it smells like R. Kelly's sheets-
Artie: Shhhhhhh! Ryder:But shoot it was 99 cents!
Sam:If I get caught in it, washin' it,
'Bout to go and get some compliments
Passin' off on those moccasins
Someone else has been walkin' in but me and grungie shop em in
I am stuck in ya closet
Savin' my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain trick
I'mma take your grandpa's style, I'mma take your grandpa's style,
No for real, ask your grandpa can I have his hand-me-downs?
Velour jump suit and some house slippers
Doukie brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
They had a broken keyboard I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket and then I bought a kneeboard
Hello hello my ace man my mello
John Wayne ain't got nothin' on my fringe game
Hell no
I can take some pro wings make em cool sell those
The sneaker heads will be like
"Ahhh, he got the velcro."
Blaine:I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin' for a come up
This is really awesome
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin' for a come up
This is really awesome

SONG: "The Rose" by Bette Midler
WHO SINGS IT: Rachel
SCENARIO: Rachel just finished her Spring semester. She and Kurt have a long conversation about Summer plans. Rachel tells Kurt that she was going home to Lima for the summer. Her plan is to surprise Finn. She's been able to find herself and follow her dreams, he's been able to grow up, and now she's ready to commit to him. When Kurt expresses some concern, she replies "Relationships are a lot like flowers. If you find the right seed, put it in good soil, give it water and sunlight, bam. Perfect bud. And then comes winter and the flower dies. But if you tend that garden, spring will come along and that flower will bloom again."
LYRICS SUNG:
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

SONG: "Clown" by Emeli Sande
WHO SINGS IT: Brittany
SCENARIO: Brittany was accepted to MIT and her parents are making her attend next semester. But she's scared because she knows she doesn't do well in school. When Santana comes back to help her through this decision, Brittany tells her that she thinks she'd "rather just go to clown college than regular college because all clowns accept each other for all of their quirks, no matter what they are, no matter how smart or how stupid they are." When Santana assures her that she really is a genius and she'll do just fine in "regular" college, Brittany starts crying. She replies knowing she'll do fine in college, but she doesn't think MIT is right for her. And she doesn't know how to approach her parents. Queue the music and flash to Brittany singing in the choir room to the Glee club.
LYRICS SUNG:
I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Cleared the way for my crash landing
I've done it again, another number for before your notes
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line
So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel
My life's a circus-circus round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
From a distance my choice is simple
From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me I put makeup on my face
But there's no way you can feel it
From so far away
So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel
My life's a circus-circus round in circles
I'm selling out tonight

SONG: "Gold" - Britt Nicole
WHO SINGS IT: Marley
SCENARIO: The Glee Club just got back from Regionals, and it turns out they came in a close second place, right behind the Hoosier Daddies. It's the last day of classes and everyone in Glee club is upset. Marley stands up to remind them all of the wonderful year they had and how far they've come. She reminds them that they helped her through a really dark time in her life-- even if someone within the club was responsible. She reminds them that they made it through the scary possible shooting together. And she reminds them of all the fun they had preparing for the wedding and preparing for competition. She reminds them that she's made friends with people in the club that she'd never be friends with if it hadn't been for Glee. She tells them that this club, even if they hadn't won, it's gold. THEY'RE gold.
LYRICS SUNG:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low
What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful
Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling
Words like those won't steal your glow, you're one in a million
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough
Yeah there are days when we all feel like we're messed up
But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you are
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh,
You're gold
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
(So hold your head up) So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Your golden, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Your golden, you're gold)
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out

Part of the fun in operating a Glee blog is being part of a tremendously passionate, fun fandom. Unfortunately, as with any fandom, you can't please everyone. That's just the way it is. We're totally fine with it, and even tend to poke fun at ourselves when we have the opportunity.
Recently, we came across some information - some things that people have said about us in the past, and who knows, maybe they still think this way about us now. But we've decided to make this an opportunity to talk about the top 5 reasons TMB sucks:
We like Glee.
We are tweens.
We say that people overreact.
We don't understand important social issues.
We are "up the asses" of certain cast/crew members.
Top 5 reasons we agree with you:
No we don't. We just run this blog for the perks.
I wish. Being a tween... That was the life.
What I want to say would be an overreaction here.
Well, if it didn't happen to us, we know nothing about it.
You know? Who cares if one of my favorite places to spend time is up someone's ass. It's just something I prefer. Not everyone wants to shove their head up people's asses but that's their choice. I couldn't be more happy with shoving my whole head into someone's ass.
But in all seriousness, here are some things that we do want to get across about our blog and our Twitter.
It's a television show. While it may not go exactly how we want it every single time, we're unfortunately not writing it. So we can't make that call. We just try not to get too worked up over things -- we try to maintain a cool head as much as possible.
We're really in our mid-twenties.
We don't think people overreact. We think people use their passion in negative ways. We'd just like to see people redirect that energy into something more positive.
Both of us have been through a lot. Maybe our feelings or what we've been through isn't the same as what someone else went through, but it doesn't mean we don't understand. Maybe we just have a slightly different understanding of it based on our experiences. Not everyone has the same experience.
Our heads are really just stuck on our necks. But if being nice to people is putting our head's in their ass, then so be it. I think we're okay with it, we're not going to turn to hateful comments and spiteful remarks. That's just not how we do things, no matter how frustrated we get with certain elements on the show.
