Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe storyline surrounding the song "Defying Gravity" was based on Chris Colfer's real-life high school experiences. He repeatedly asked to sing this song in the school talent show, but was always rebuffed because the song was written for a female character. After venting about this experience to Glee's creator/writer Ryan Murphy, it was written into the show.
- GoofsNear the end of the "Defying Gravity" scene, Kurt visibly mouths the words to the "I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity" part wrong.

Featured review
Very Touching Episode
I am a big glee fan, and I love the comedy about it. However this episode touched me in a whole new way. Here in this episode we discover the true Sue Sylvester. I am in a group with kids who have mental and physical disabilities and I can't tell you what a joy it is to see them. I myself have a physical disability as I had a liver transplant and I can't tell you how much I would of loved for there to be more people like Sue Sylvester in my school. Yes she is tough, fierce and even dangerous, but she treats everyone equally the same when it comes to her cheerios or anything else. A young girl with down syndrome named Becky wants to try out for Sue's cheerio's, the result of the try out definitely has us all questioning the motives of Sue Sylvester. It was also inspiring to see how the glee club members rallied together to get Artie to travel with them for the school trip and I think it was perfect how Mr. Shuster handled the situation. It was also nice to see how they showed that even you are gay or straight, you should get the same chances and opportunities as everyone else. This was shown when Kurt wanted to try out for a female singing role. I was so pleased to see a little bit of everything thrown into this episode. I urge all of you to see this episode as it truly opens your eyes to what people with disabilities deserve in their lives. They deserve opportunities, mentors, friends, support and so much more. After all, we are all the same one way or another.
