Not bad!....some great lines from Sue, i actually loved her going mental in this ep. as opposed to the Superbowl eppy, lol @ her "overdose"...she got Will with some great insults, but kinda tired of her plotline of tryna destroy the Glee club, from within this time.

Anyone take bets Will and Sue will have a one night stand at some stage?....liked the cancer kids scene, pulling at the old hearth strings....i didn't mind the Beiber stuff either, Brittany was AWESOME dressed like Rachel, she looked beautiful and really cute!

She totally suits that look MUCH better then Rachel, overall pretty good stuff.

I enjoyed that. The whole Bieber angle was taking the piss rather than a tribute like with the Madonna/ Gaga/ Britney episodes. Lauren Zizes was great once she saw everyone in their underwear (and I thank her for that), but the Rachel/ Mercedes Diva Off was fantastic, highlight of the episode and one of the best numbers in a long time. Santana's pep talk with Sam and then her draped over him in front of Quinn 5 minutes later was fun too.

I thought the Chemical Romance number was really amateur in terms of the stage performance - maybe that's because Jane Lynch couldn't do a synchronised routine?

Actually, I thought that was a terrible episode, despite some excellent one liners from Sue/Santana/Brittany. The only song I knew was the "let it shine" one with the cancer kids. Obviously am showing my age here, I'd never heard any Justin Bieber songs before: clearly haven't missed anything. New low.

Didn't enjoy this episode for a few reasons:

1) Justin Bieber. 'nuff said

2) The duet from Rent was good but Rent fans would find it a bit lacking.

3) Cheesiness in the hospital

4) I'm sick of people doing things completely out of character. Sam all of a sudden believing ditching Quinn, Rachel and Mercedes and their contrived "Diva off", the on-off Rachel and Finn thing.

I'm starting to think Lauren Zises is the only thing about this show that's still a little refreshing

Great episode, in all honesty. The Bieber stuff was in the right tone and as someone who hardly takes an iota of notice of pop music outside of Glee I found his songs (obviously wrote and arranged by other people) to be decent pop songs. Glee can usually make a performance out of decent songs and that's exactly what they did.

I really enjoyed the My Chemical Romance song performance, without even knowing it was their song until it was said later in the show and I'm very, very far from a MCR fan, it should be said. The Rachael/Merecedes performance being so good it feels redundant even saying that much.

The part in the hospital was very nice for the fact they obviously got real kids with illnesses for the roles, I'd imagine it was as much a treat for them in real life as it was for their characters in the show.

I bought Sam's turn because he's already been scorned and he was all about imagine in a good few episodes - Santana just made him an offer he couldn't refuse, even if his heart was with Quinn.

Generally with Glee I just go with the flow in terms of plot - it's a hyper stylised world where Sue can get any equipment or job she likes and where the glee club can afford to have an army of musicans and technicians on hand for every performance they do - there's rarely a turn that even has the potential to be too ridiculous within the show's existing framework.

Not a great episode, Santana was brilliant and Rachel/Britney were good.

Sam doing James Earl Jones was fully and the My Chemical Romance cover was great - more like this IMO, not just singing the song the same way it is on the radio.
