Last dark Glee contain us on a strange journey with their grand - rated version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show . While the shape struggled through the poorly written script , the music , dancing , costumes , and shout - out were electrifying !
The episode started off with a expectant - lipped bam that made us all want to cry , because we wanted to be dressed just the same ! They even went as far to copy the intro in their own adorable Gleek fashion :
The premise , however , was a gallimaufry of onetime and desperately tired Glee plots . In an attempt to deliver the goods back the passion of the OCD school counselor-at-law , Mrs. Pillsbury , Mr. Schuester decide that he would make New Directions put on a performance of Rocky Horror , something she and her new boyfriend , Carl ( play by John Stamos ) both enjoy .
So Mr. Shuester has a bad design , and FOX has a highly publicized Halloween peculiar to run . We seize with teeth the big bullet of ridiculous plot devices and settled in for some seriously amazing Rocky Horror melodious tribute . And the Gleeks rock it : About 90 % of all the song worked . Sadly the first piffling ditty “ There ’s A Light ( Over At The Frankenstein Place ) ” was the first lesson of the 10 % that did n’t shape . While Rachel Berry kills it , just kill it , we were a taken right out of the mo thanks to the highly auto - tune up chorus . Where were the shrieks and cult screaming singing we grew up on ? Sadly this was only the beginning of Glee ’s “ cleaned up ” Rocky Horror . But still , we loved seeing the Glee Club dressed up in their best “ Time Warp ” garb .
course , Sue Sylvester is utilize as the weekly baddie , again . She plans to “ out ” the club ’s extremely inappropriate performance of the sexy musical by doing an undercover unmasking on her “ Sue Sees It ” segment . Who gave her this thought ? Two criminally underused cameos …
Yep , that ’s Barry Bostwick , the original Brad Majors , and Meatloaf , otherwise get it on as that no - right kid Eddie . But in their defense , the backchat between these two lovable mankind is downright hilarious . ”Mexican Terrorist Ants ” indeed !
move on , it ’s clip for rehearsal . Kurt is cast as Riff Raff , and my god does he go all out . He is the one Glee casting penis who does n’t seem afraid to pass over head first into this goose impersonation . Watch him nail the stage dancing …
The only other eccentric who really seemed to take over the life of Rocky Horror , was non - Gleek John Stamos . His “ Hot Patootie ” rendition of Eddie was all sex and leather , but still safe enough to be perform in a in high spirits school euphony way . Also , we remember it ’s gamy metre Stamos sang the “ Dentist ” number from Little Shop of Horrors .
Mercedes took the role of Dr. Frank - N - Furter , and she even managed to have in a few new Riffian that we truly enjoyed . But , as outstanding as Mercedes sounded , the entire song never really gelled . That does n’t signify we did n’t enjoy watching her power house through this turn , it just felt a little off …
Perhaps it was the the G - rated lyrics , or the fact that this interlingual rendition was HIGHLY auto tune . We wanted to hear somebody in that mortal . Stepping into Tim Curry ’s fishnets is not an gentle task , but we wish they ’d represent with the melody a bit more , it just ended up vocalise needlessly insistent .
Hijinks Ensuesums up some of the issues with this casting call in another fashion :
In “ Toucha Toucha Tocha Touch Me ” Glee rise that their highly - edited Rocky Horror course could still be sexy . Mostly thanks to the pervy Mr. Schuester , who decides that it would be a great idea to seduce the object of his affection in school . thoroughgoing . But then again , the level of the Sung is to be extremely inappropriate , so they get a little cred in that expanse . Emma also did a stand out job filling in for Janet .
All in all , the instalment suffered because of it ’s flimsy secret plan transmission line , but just watching the highlight right here show that it was still plenty of playfulness . Thankfully , Mr. Schue learns another worthful object lesson about using the Glee nightspot for his own creepy personal addition . In fact , he makes a point of saying that the original Rocky Horror was n’t about press the gasbag : It was about make a space for castaway . Which is why it ’s pretty pure for Glee . Cue Kurt ’s amazing Riff Raff introduction …
