Brittany Does Britney Better Than Britney; Glee Goes Britney Spears; Season 2 Episode 2 Britney/Brittany

Hooray for Glee Giving Bigger Parts to Minor Characters !

Candice
If you haven't seen it yet, Glee is a fun look at one high school's Glee Club, and all that encompasses their lives, with a great cast of supreme talent not seen on any reality show for a long time. These kids are all triple threats...singing, dancing and acting are just a few of their talents. And kudos to the writers, directors and producers for putting out a show that's got more than just music under the surface...bravo!
"As for who deserves to shine in this show, I believe the creators are doing a wonderful job in showcasing the talents of each individual they handpicked from so many other talents they personally interviewed and processed. Characters were picked and there will always be major and minor roles but the directors have shown that all the characters involved in the show are important to the show's development and maturity." -Thomas Marcelino on hulu.com
The second season is getting good already with the first episode centering on "auditions"...see it on hulu here.
Or if you haven't seen ANY of the Glee episodes start with the first of season one here. Hulu is great free online TV.
If you are up on Glee, betcha' didn't know this about Britney (Heather);
Heather Morris' character Britney the cheerleader on Glee was a professional dancer before joining Glee cast. Her first big appearance was in 2006 on So You Think You Can Dance Season 2 where she made the "green mile" but failed to make the final 20 by a vote of 3-2. Not discouraged, Morris decided to move to LA and actively pursue a career in dancing. Her big break came in 2007 via Beyoncé. Morris was one of Beyoncé's backup dancers on The Beyoncé Experience world tour and, following that, worked again with Beyoncé on a mini "Single Ladies" promotional tour that included 2008 performances on the American Music Awards,Saturday Night Live,The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Today,and MTV's Total Request Live Finale. She also danced backup for Beyoncé and Tina Turner at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008.
Britney/Heather Morris was nothing short of amazing this episode, they used choreography that was amazing. To my surprise to Harry on many of the dance sequences. Heather is clearly the best dancer in the cast, however I am almost slighted they don't do more to show the cast members as triple threats as supposed to puzzle pieces. The interaction of the Glee clubbers making one another better would be a story within itself. - Maurice Charles
Her performance of Britney's "I'm a slave for u" was nothing short of fabulous...I think she danced better than the REAL Britney, "Go Brittany!"), and "Me Against the Music" was great too with her ever-present evil best friend along side her "playing" Madonna's part in the song.

    I'm in the same boat as Rita and have missed the first two episodes (darn it!) so yes, thanks for the recap!

    For various reasons, I have missed the first two episodes and I am so mad. I can't watch on-line videos right now, either (no internet at home yet and not able to at work). Darn. One of these days I'll get caught up. Thanks for the re-cap.
