Not only are we gigantic gleeks, but we're gigantic Whitney fans. The news of her untimely passing hit both of us hard. But thanks to Glee, we get to bask in her legendary music just a little longer. And thanks to this early release of "How Will I know", you all get a sneak peek of this amazing, stripped down, heartfelt version of the song:
Can I just say that I feel like they're so grown up? Last time Mercedes and Santana sang at that library table, they were fighting over Puck. Oh how times have changed. Amazing version, yet again. Well done Anders brothers!
How'd you like that one Gleeks? We love disco, but even more than disco, we love Whitney. So it's not likely we'll be hating next week's episode... ESPECIALLY after this promo. Take a look for yourself.
Ohhhh gleeks, I can't handle goodbyes already! Nothing can prepare me for graduation!
It's that time of the week again, Gleeks -- First Listen Friday is here! Take a listen to everyone "Bee-Geeing" out (it's hard to define some of the voices in these performances) in next week's episode: Saturday Night Glee-ver"!
If you don't like disco, you'll change your mind in about 8.2 seconds when you hear how rad some of these songs are. And obvi we can't wait until they whip out those amazing dance moves. So, without further ado, here's your first listen of Glee 3x16: "Saturday Night Glee-ver"
Boogie Shoes Performed by: Alex Newell
Disco Inferno Performed by: Amber Riley
How Deep is Your Love Performed by: Lea Michele
If I Can't Have You Performed by: Naya Rivera
More Than a Woman Performed by: Cory Monteith
Night Fever Performed by: New Directions
Staying Alive Performed by: New Directions
You Should Be Dancing Performed by: Darren Criss, Harry Shum & Heather Morris
So, what do you think Gleeks? Don't like disco yet? Then you might want to sit next week out... We, however, will be doing the Hustle... on roller blades, as per a suggestion from Jenna Ushkowitz.
Glee is back! The hiatus is over and after seven long weeks I think we were all a little curious what happened to Q. Not sure why you missed this episode (unless you steered clear because of another Blaine storyline, in which case I totally understand) but we’ve got the deets on the wheelchairs, awkward shower scene, masters class, and roller coasters. Fast forward several weeks after Quinn’s accident andddddd ACTION!
The Finchel wedding has been postponed but Rachel can’t stop thinking about Quinn, who is rolling down the hall wheelchair style. This is the happiest day of her life and she heads into the choir room with Artie to sing it out. Cue Quartie duet to the tune of I’m Still Standing. Ironic? You betchya.
Texting and driving was the stupidest thing Quinn has ever done, besides sleeping with Puck, but it’s ok all her plumbing still works. No tears, Tina. Q promises to be out of her chair and dancing on stage by nationals. Unholy Trinity hugs. Praise.
In Figgins’ office he names Roz the co-coach of the Cheerios as Sue’s pregnancy has compromised her work. His word is law. Sue vows to get the school a national championship via Glee Club so she takes over booty camp in an effort to whip the pear-shaped teens into shape. She lays an epic smackdown on them over their “complete apathy and lack of professionalism.” She’s meaner than Tabatha.
Mercedes isn't texting, she's donating to the Obama campaign. Her droid! Brad Ellis approves.
Sue is wildly hormonal. Stop trying to understand her actions.
Barbra Gordon and Schue agree to go to Sue’s doctor appointment with her.
Blaine's brother, Cooper Anderson, is in town exploring his salt of the earth roots. "You, sir, are a Disney prince." Blaine... you jelly?
The Glee kids discuss senior ditch day plans. But not a non-alcoholic pub crawl because it's not senior CITIZENS ditch day. Brittany wants to see something give birth. Rachel kills all cheer by apologizing to Quinn but Q refuses to dwell on it. Cue Faberry hug (calm yourselves, shippers). Meeting adjourned, Six Flags it is.
Puck suggests he and Finn start a pool cleaning business in California, but Finchel has New York plans.
Ladies and gays, Sue gives you Porcelain’s famous brother Cooper Anderson. Namaste. The cardigan's comin' off. It’s an Anderbro duet of Hungry Like The Wolf/Rio. Standing O.
Blaine whines about his older brother’s constant critiques.
Quinn takes on the steepest wheelchair ramp with Artie’s encouragement. It’s just like having a baby.
Welcome to the Cooper Anderson Acting Master Class. Notes: Broadway is dead, turn into a pose again and again, ask the tough questions, point, no eye contact with a scene partner, scream all your lines.
The pool-owning milf would love to be a silent, or noisy, business partner for the Puck and Finn pool cleaning business.
Sue and Wemma find out that Sue is having a girl. Her toilet seats are spared.
Cooper got an audition for a Michael Bay film, aka Transformers 4. Blaine isn’t thrilled because it’s all about Cooper. And so begins the awkward segue into Blaine singing Fighter. Cue boxing followed by unnecessary shower scene and we’re back onto the stage for screaming/singing and tv screens filled with Cooper.
Quinn calls Finn out for texting and walking and Quartie confirms their own ditch day Artie Abrams style.
Becky talks to Sue about her having a baby girl, which Sue reveals will be just like her. Please don't start lactating. Becky tells her to work on her patience.
Quartie senior ditch day = crip skip. The rest of the Glee kids hit the roller coasters at Six Flags, all to the tune of another delicious Quartie duet to the sound of Up, Up, Up (can I get pregnant from this?). Quinn tells Artie she’s going to walk again but Artie isn’t so certain.
Teen Jesus and Quinn “walk” down the hall together and Q momentarily slips into being a self-obsessed bitch but ultimately takes him to join the New Directions. He has a twig in his hair.
Sue will reveal the father of her child once she finalizes her book and movie deal. She apologizes for being mean to the Glee kids, she thought she was being kind... for not bringing up the sexual tension between Mercedes and the Kentucky fried stripper, or the fact that they spent untold millions on a laser show so Sandbags could dance with the night school’s Polynesian janitor (actually he was Puerto Rican). It’s in her DNA to be mean, just like it’s in Porcelain’s to poop rainbow glitter. She promises to be nicer if they promise to work their butts off for that first place trophy in Chicago.
Alright sloppy babies, let’s take it from the top! (Anyone else have season one flashbacks when Sue said that? Thought so).
Kurt gives Blaine a Margaret Thatcher stuffed animal dog and convinces him to give it another shot with his brother. Talking doesn’t work? Show him how you really feel, Blaine, through a break-up song duet with Somebody That I Used To Know. They work it all out, now they’re friends and brothers, and I unsurprisingly still couldn’t find any effs to give. Huh.
Finchel locker scene. The NYADA scout is coming soon and Rachel is ready but Finn wants to start thinking seriously about his own future, perhaps in California. Rachel needs to be in New York but Finn isn’t sure.
And that’s what you missed... on Glee!
Big thanks to Ash for writing this Gleecap... Again! You da' best Assssshley!

If you thought the way 3x14 "On My Way" left off was intense, then prepare yourself for one of the most intense promos you'll see all season. I can't believe we're already into the spring season, but Glee 3x15: "Big Brother" returns in less than three weeks with the aftermath of the biggest cliffhanger of all three seasons. Have a look below at the quick 15 second clip of what you might expect to see in episode 3x15!
Not only is it intense and emotional... but the song in the background... Sign of what's to come, hearing "Somebody That I Used to Know"? I guess we'll find out soon.
Exactly one year ago today, you created a song that has changed my life forever. The name of that song: Trouty Mouth.
It may seem strange to that this "seductive" song making fun of the mouth of one Sammy Evans could change someone's life. But let's take a look at the domain you're reading this on. Yes, TroutyMouth.com has been a life changer, and it was all created due to the words in that silly, yet amazing, little song.
So how has this little website changed my life? Well for one, it's Glee related. And really, more than the website, Glee has changed my life.
It takes big issues- social issues, personal issues, school issues, family issues - and it brings awareness to a reality that affects 99% of the population in some way shape or form.
It's made me see the big picture, not just a portion of it. It's pretty genius if you ask me. But that's another letter for a different day. You don't need me telling you what geniuses you all are... I think you know that based on the accomplishments you've already achieved.
Secondly, it's made me want to write more. I've always loved writing. Telling stories, and telling them well is something that I've always wanted to do. And when you have all of these ideas in your head, it helps to just get them out on paper. Even if my writing doesn't go anywhere, at least I know I have this blog to give me an outlet to share some of my ideas... some of my stories.
TroutyMouth.com has also made me want to do more things. I went to Glee Live twice last year, and went to the private dress rehearsals in Vegas. In Vegas, I was so close to the action, and so close to the crew of people that made the tour happen... it was just a surreal experience. In Chicago, we met some of our followers. We met some people we follow. There's this whole, sort of, community of people, that have become our friends, just because we have one thing in common: Glee. It's pretty amazing. And in New York, we decided we wanted to go the night before we left. Bought our tickets at 7:30 pm Friday, flew out from St. Louis at 7:30 am Saturday after barely sleeping from a combination of excitement and tornados throughout the area. Then we took a car to the venue, hung out in the parking lot, bought floor seats to the 8 pm show, had the time of our life at the concert, took a cab all the way to Manhattan where we hung out in Times Square all night, then took a cab back to the airport and flew out at 8 am the next morning. It was the most fun, crazy and spontaneous thing I've ever done in my life. It pretty much made my entire summer. Why did we do this? Yes, the self-serving "this will be a blast, and we're 23 years old, so when will we have another opportunity to do this" excuse was a huge factor. But also because we wanted to talk about it. We know not everyone could see the concert, so we wanted to "report" it if you will to all that would listen. We wanted to share our stories.
Then there's the other things I want to do because we have people that read our blog, follow us, and trust in what we have to say. Social media, blogs, and the power of people can really go a long way. Thanks to Glee, and using TroutyMouth.com as a medium to spread the word, I want to get more involved in anti-bullying programs, LGBT programs, and other charities that could really be helpful for young people going through hard struggles in their life.
It amazes me how much one thing, as simple as a TV show, can teach you about life. Even more than that, it amazes me how many people will listen to you if you just try to talk to them. The power of Glee is something that could change the lives of thousands and millions. Now... to a certain extent... the power of TroutyMouth.com is something that we hope to use for good. Yes, TroutyMouth is all about the show - First Listen Fridays, Episode Gleecaps, Promos for upcoming weeks, and fun projects we're involved in - but moreso than that, we've established friends. People listen to us when we talk. If there's ever a day where TroutyMouth.com can change the life of even one person (that's not us, since our lives have already been changed for the better), then that's something more powerful than I've ever even thought possible when we bought this silly little domain.
So all in all, I guess I have to say one big thank you to you, Ryan, Brad and Ian.
If it weren't for you guys creating this work of art and showing us that there's more to life than going to school, going to work, and going to sleep - that there's more to look forward to at every milestone in your life, and that everyone has struggles, and it's good to talk, and share, and help each other out every once in a while - I don't think I'd be as interested in keeping this blog going. I don't think I'd be as happy with what this blog has become. I don't think I'd promote the heck out of TroutyMouth.com everywhere I go... just because I can.
Thank you for showing us that there's power in writing. There's power in sharing stories, especially when they're personal to you. Thank you for showing us that TroutyMouth.com could be possible.
Thanks for establishing the most talented cast ever to be put on television. Thanks for establishing the hardest working crew to ever exist. And thank you for creating the craziest, most powerful fans on the planet. We have a blast being part of that family.
And most of all, thank you for ensuring that all I do is sit on my couch every Tuesday night and watch... and re-watch (Thanks DVR)... and re-watch Glee over and over and over again.
