Private to Glee Members Only

Jan 11, 2012 19:51

Okay, I can't with the Broadway numbers. I like and appreciate some, but the entire club is getting painted with this brush. We need to change it up if we're going to get people in the club. Something hip and current, where ALL of us can shine. We're a rag tag group, but we're talented and can really do something awesome if we put out minds to

glee kids, private

PREACH SISTER!!!

NO MORE BROADWAY!

gospel_mercedes January 12 2012, 02:18:15 UTC

Oh we can do Broadway every now and then, but can we do The Wiz? You'd kill that MJ number!

artiejabrams January 12 2012, 02:28:02 UTC

I don't care HOW awesome MJ is, I'm allergic to Broadway.

I'll call you when the hydro-cortisone kicks in, like next school year

gospel_mercedes January 12 2012, 02:37:33 UTC

Have you even heard the song? But yeah, I get it. I just...I thought this was going to be a group and I kinda feel like Rachel's background singer.

There is nothing wrong with Broadway classics. Now if we could do a few more current songs I would adore it. Lady Gaga is an icon.

gospel_mercedes January 12 2012, 04:56:14 UTC

And I certainly don't have a problem with including them in what we do, but this group is more than that.

See, I definitely feel you on Lady G. We could even go old school Madonna!

kurtsturn January 12 2012, 05:22:21 UTC

I would kill anything done by Madonna. Can you imagine the outfits? I'm telling you Cedes dear you would kill her 'Desperately Seeking Susan' 80's look. All those big gold accessories!

gospel_mercedes January 12 2012, 05:45:43 UTC

The outfits would be so amazing! We'd make a statement before we even sang one lyric.

i don't really like, mind broadway. or whatever that peppy shit we sing is... but i really like journey. can we do more journey?

gospel_mercedes January 12 2012, 14:48:06 UTC

I don't see why we can't. See, this is good, everyone contributing ideas so we can make GROUP decisions. We could even do a cool 80's set with songs everyone has heard before, things to get people out their seats and hopefully in the glee club.

tina_squarethec January 13 2012, 02:08:30 UTC

Absolutely 100% yes to Lady Gaga. And MJ, we should definitely do MJ. I could be down with Journey too.

I'll be good with whatever we pick, I just really agree that a bit of variety is a great idea.

How about the Beatles? Could we maybe try that? I sort of love them.

gospel_mercedes January 13 2012, 02:18:20 UTC

I LOVE THE BEATLES!!!! Yes, this is a super yes to them. So many awesome genres to explore.

I recognize your dislike for Broadway show tunes, although we are a Show Choir. Surely you can at least appreciate Wicked or West Side Story.

I am willing to consider other genres, because it would benefit us as a group to show that we are eclectic, not just in race and gender, but in our musical tastes. But I must impose a Broadway number for each of our competitions, lest I fall deathly ill and can no longer perform my captaincy duties and must then resign my post and membership in the club, at which point you may fight over each other for my position. An unlikely scenario, but it should at least be put out there to alleviate your feelings on the situation.

Furthermore, to show that I have been listening to your concerns, for Wednesday's assembly, we'll be jumping back in time to 1986. I hope you appreciate some old school rapping.

gospel_mercedes January 14 2012, 01:59:12 UTC

Girl, if you had a weave in your head I would snatch it out, just letting you know.

So yes, I am very glad that you are at least willing to expand our repertoire. And yes, I have several musicals that I am very fond of, but I want to keep that fondness. And they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder :)
