I shouldn't have raised my expectations- or maybe I should blame it on Madonna. The musical numbers just lacked soul for some reason and I think it is because Madonna is a performer, not a vocalist. These kids are from Broadway and they know how to belt with emotion. Madonna is just too pop and spectacle and not enough soul.
Other than the weakness of the Madonna tie-in, the rest of the show as pretty on point. Brittany, the bubble headed cheerio, has some of the best lines delivered with deadly straight face. When the gang is talking about Madonna's girl power and fight with misogyny, she quips "When I pulled my hamstring I went to a misogynist." The Jesse-Rachel-Quinn threesome is a good source of drama. And it was awesome that Kurt and Mercedes joined the cheer leading team because they weren't getting enough solos. Hopefully next week will have better musical numbers!
