Glee-Cap: Britney 2.0
by Robert Lawlor
- Sep 20, 2012
Oops.. Glee is doing it again, Gleeks! No, not another Madonna tribute, but you know - tick, tock. Nope, it's Britney, bitch. So, go ahead - Glee - hit us one more time!
Brittany has totally lost her way after being kicked off the Cheerios for being a bad role model for her fellow Cheerios, despite her performance of a song by her idol, Ms. Britney Spears. After a meeting with Miss Pillsbury and Brittany, Mr. Schuester decides to stage a second Britney week - it's Britney 2.0, bitches. Blaine and Artie launch Britney week with a mash up of Britney's "Boys" with Bieber's "Boyfriend" which seems to light a fire under Brittany's booty. Meanwhile, Rachel is still not getting any respect from Cassandra, but she and Kurt have found their own little apartment and are planning big things including Kurt auditioning for NYADA during the second semester and applying for an internship at Vogue.com. Kurt informs Rachel about a little secret that Cassandra has been hiding - her Broadway breakdown a la Patti LuPone during a pre-Broadway engagement of Damn Yankees causing her to be deemed 'Crazy July' and a huge reputation causing her career to stall.
Meanwhile at McKinley, the kids get into Britney 2.0 with a performance of "3" while Unique tries to shine some light on Jake's womanizing ways to Marley using Britney's 'Womanizer'. Rachel turns to Brody for help in dance class, while the glee club tries to figure out a way to help Brittany out of her shame spiral as she goes on the rampage in the hallways of McKinley. On the bleachers, Jake and Marley blend the Britney's "You Drive Me Crazy" with a little twist of Aerosmith's 'Crazy', while the sparks fly between them. The glee club calls Brittany to a meeting about letting her be the lead for the upcoming pep rally performance, but Brittany wants to lip sync the performance, a choice that does not go over well with the glee club. At NYADA, Rachel takes to the floor with a version of 'Oops.. I Did It Again' that doesn't even register of Cassandra's radar, but Rachel throws Cassandra for a loop with a mention of her past, before Cassandra tosses Ms. Berry out of her class.
