Jenna Smith Rank: Recurring Character

Sam is one of my favorite Guy characters and I thought the whole Beiber experience was awesome! I really think after the superbowl episode they got their swing back ala season 1. I'm not a beiber fan but I still thought the songs were done well and they applied it to the plot line. I'm glad Sam had the gull to stand up to Quin, he's never done anything wrong in the relationship and I'm glad he left her, don't get me wrong I love Quinn but she shouldn't have cheated with Finn, the biggest hypocrate on the show (you have to understand I love all the characters but he's in the wrong..)
The hospital scene was precious, and I loved the song Sue picked at the end
I usually love Glee, even when it goes completely overboard and this episode was no exception...yes it was Bieber but they made it work! I like that Sam stood up to Quinn and I look forward to the oncoming tangles!
To be honest, the episode was good, but I found myself falling asleep and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Exhausting episode. Beiber crap hurt my ears.

This episode was boring, except for the Rachel/Mercedes duet.
Where is KUrt??? He is my favorite character with, IMHO, the best voice on the show. I really miss him singing with Rachel and
being friends with Mercedes.

@reesieboi: I disagree. Sam had a reason for dressing like Bieber (to impress Quinn). It worked, as she then developed feelings for him, which then led to her heartbreak when he chose Santana.
Compare that to the utterly contrived way the show worked in Britney during that tribute episode, actually putting characters under just to make them fantasize about the singer.
You're free to dislike Bieber, but there was an actual storyline to his use here.

you guys need to get over justin bieber. he's popular, glee did it, move on. there's a reason they did it, he IS a tween icon. it does make sense, and if you saw it as funny instead of just hating it you would save yourself a lot of ange

"Now this is how you do a tribute episode! Both Bieber songs fit in perfectly with the ongoing storyline.."
Really?
No.
he songs did NOTHING tot he storyline!!!! AT ALL.
THE ENTIRE EPISODE would have bee the same without the pain of Bieber attachment.
Seriously, they ddi nothing for the episode except make me hate Sam more, and see how LOW Ryan Murphey is going to reach the top 40 demographic.
Other than that shit, this was a great episode. Loved Santana and Sue.
Should of made this episode into a drinking game for how many times the word "Comeback" was used. Also, there's SO many better songs that Lauren could of sang. That was so ridiculously monotone that it just didn't do her justice. Yes she can sing, otherwise they wouldn't keep her as a main focus for a side plot of her and Puck.
As far as the triangle [square?] that is Quinn/Finn/Rachel/Sam. UGH. SO SICK OF IT. Like, you don't even know. What was -any- point for having Rachel/Finn when you get to this point and now he's one noogie away with her of having it be like he's some creepy uncle only meant to inspire her. When it comes to couples? I don't know.. I guess if it'd keep the whining and drama's at a minimum; I prefer Rachel/Finn. Yeah I know, over all they're the most sickeningly cute of couples when they were together. I just kind of feel like Quinn deserves no one; or okay, Maybe Finn too. My point is that whole main plot just has me on the fence.
Another thing: Why is it no

Santana's lines were pure gold in this episode! I still can't stop laughing at that scene with Sam in the library. The writers really brought it with this episode :)

Loathed the Bieber stuff, truly painful to watch (actually turned the volume down). Listened more when Kevin was singing but that's just cos he has an awesome voice no matter what crud he sings. Lea and Amber's duet was wonderful, hate to admit I don't know the song but they were amazing. Finn was almost likeable for about 5 seconds with his Bieber rant in the changing room but ruined it with being nasty about cheating with Quinn (and I went off Sam a while back). Glad Mercedes is friends with Rachel, cos Tina sure isn't (of course the bitchios aren't but they never have been). How could anyone deny that style has been Rachel's since day one. That storyline bugged me. Sue and Will at the hospital was too saccherine for me (can respect the sentiment but meh) and Sue performing with NDs just felt wrong, don't like seeing her so joyful it's creepy.
All in all I'll just like it for the diva-off, why can't Mercedes and Rachel sing the lead at regionals (with Artie too), why's it always hav

I totally agree with C.K.!!! I loved this episode reminded me a lot of season 1. It really does bug me how mean everyone is to Rachel. I think that will always bug me though. I missed Kurt in this episode I want him back in New Directions, maybe Blaine could transfer! Can't wait for next week :) I'm also liking Sam and Sanatana. I think it would be interesting if Finn shot down Quinn now if she wanted him both of them need to spend time alone. There both cheaters who never learn and lie.

I thought this episode was very good! (Not as good as SLS but good!) I'm really happy Sam broke up with Quinn. She needs to learn her lesson. And him and Santana are.. fun. As for Finn. I think the writers are trying to make a point. The only scene in this entire episode where he was sincere was when he was with Rachel. (Just like in silly love songs.) Everyone is saying they hate him, he's such a douche now, etc. But I think it's just showing us that Finn + Quinn don't work. I can't wait to see Blame It On The Alcohol... Oh boy.

Looooooved the Mercedes/Rachel duet!! Didn't care much for the Bieber songs, but that's just my taste. Like Sue as the new AI coach, that should be fun. I think Rachel needs to tell Finn to start walking and just keep going. Really, really don't want to see them back together anytime soon, but I would like to see her get a love interest other than him.
EEOWWWW!!!!!! Rachel and Mercedes duet was wonderful and that is all. Sam's singing was good but not for me. So glad to see Sam dump Q she deserved it to the max. So she and worthless Finn can go to the Artic because they are ice cold amoebas. The writing just made those two the most disgusting of all the characters. Like making fun of Sam's believing in the lie Quinn told him. The writers made Finn dispicable and going to be hard to redeem himself. I can't believe Rachel would bother with listening to him. That was what is called inconsistency of character adaptability. Jerk most of he time then insincere talk to Rachel saying she's making a comeback and she smiles. Blow him off Rachel.

@ one - "Lauren's solo also sucked it proved to me that she can't sing."
i dont think her character is meant to sing??? i thought it was already implied that she is just a part of the club just so they can make the minimum member requirements.
anyway - i think this episode was ok. one Justin bieber song would have been enough (2 of them went a bit overboard, imo). too much media oversaturation of justin bieber :) i like justin bieber and think hes talented but i hate seeing him everywhere, its gets exhausting and this episode sort of felt like he "paid" them or something to endorse his music. just my 2 cents.

That episode kinda sucked the bieber fever sucked. Lauren's solo also sucked it proved to me that she can't sing. I love the rachel and mercedes duet as well as the chemical romance's song sing at the end of the episode. Other than that the episode pretty much sucked.
I don't know what you were watching, but this was just a cluster of bad.
The onyl good stuff was Rachel and Santana.

It had nothing on Silly Love Songs imo. And really.. "Sucks the fun out of every scene"? Have you blanked out last week's Kurt/Blaine scenarios? Some of the most funny/charming moments of that episode. Yea, the bully thing is a downer and has its purpose, but Kurt is more than just that.
I love that Glee throws you around from drama to irrelevance in a blink of an eye and you just have to go with it. It's part of its frustrating addictiveness.
