GLEE, however, was very special. I loved every song and saved it on the DVR so I can rewatch it tomorrow. Yes, IDOL did indeed go over (irritatingly), but I did add minutes to the recording, so I was fine.
And, for a real change of pace, the episode didn't focus on Rachel at all. In fact, she had no solos whereas Kurt and Mercedes really got to shine. Matthew Morrison and Kristin Chenoweth dueted twice, both times to memorable effect. Their voices blend wonderfully together. If he hadn't been doing GLEE, he should have been the lead in PROMISES, PROMISES revival.
