Just three more days and there will be Sunshine again on our TVs. Glee’s return after a month-long break also coincides with Charice’s comeback on the show. It’s been seven months since we first saw Charice’s character, Sunshine Corazon, belt out “Listen” and had a “Telephone” diva-off with Rachel. How many non-Gleeks have actually continued watching the series after being disappointed week after week with no Charice on Glee?
Though we here at Charicemania.com encourage you to catch Glee every week, it’s also disheartening to watch a series which took so long to bring back Charice despite her explosive debut on the show. We have religiously posted GleeCaps since the first episode of season 2 until episode 14, but stopped after rumors about Charice’s return became unconvincing.
But now that Charice’s return is a hundred percent sure thing, it’s time for us Chasters to become Gleeks even for just a short time. To better understand what’s happening on Glee, try to watch the episodes you’ve missed. But if you don’t have that much time, just scan through the GleeCaps here at Charicemania.com. Being updated with the Glee storyline can help you relate to discussions and articles throughout the web about Charice being a spy or her new attitude that she’s the best singer alone at the top.
Here are the links for the GleeCaps of episodes 1-14:
Audition – Grilled Cheesus – Duets – Rocky Horror – Never Been Kissed – The Substitute – Furt – Special Education – A Very Glee Christmas – The Sue Sylvester Shuffle – Silly Love Songs – Comeback – Blame It On The Alcohol
The two episodes we haven’t recapped are ep. 15 “Sexy” and ep. 16 “Original Song”. So here are short recaps for each:
“Sexy” was the second episode where Gwyneth Paltrow guested as substitute teacher, Holly Holliday. She is now teaching sex ed, and Will asks for her help in teaching the glee club about sex through a song. Important events that happened incude: Will and Holly kissed, Santana reveals her feelings for Brittany, Finn and Quinn have a secret relationship, Kurt learns about sexuality with the help of his dad, and Emma admits that she’s still a virgin.
Musical numbers were plenty, from Holly’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me” by Joan Jett, Santana’s “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac, the Celibacy Club’s “Afternoon Delight” by Starland Vocal Band, Will’s “Kiss” by Prince, and the Warbler’s “Animal” by Neon Trees.

For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only.
“Original Song” was the Regionals episode where New Directions competed with other Glee clubs, Aural Intensity and The Warblers. The focus of the episode was the glee club’s search for a winning song list. They first decided to do “Sing” by Chemical Romance, but scrapped it when Sue sabotaged their efforts. New Directions decided to write original songs which will give them an edge during the competition. For the Warblers, Kurt got the chance to sing lead vocals during Regionals when the club agreed to a duet with him and Blaine. They also shared their first kiss in this episode.
During the competition, Sue picked “Jesus is My Friend” for Aural Intensity to sing as the judges all had religious backgrounds. The Warblers performed “Misery” by Maroon 5 and “Raise Your Glass” by Pink. New Directions sang “Get It Right” and “Loser Like Me”, all are original songs. After a heated discussion between the judges, New Directions were proclaimed as the winner. They will now proceed to the Nationals competition where they will compete against Sunshine Corazon’s Vocal Adrenaline.

Hello! I have already downloaded ABM song by CHARICE on itunes just few minutes ago. However, you must look for GLEE CAST not Charice. I believe it is number #38 on itunes as I speak. It’s worth buying this song. Charice is pitch perfect, amazing, amazing singer!! WOWWW!! Also, her new single “ONE DAY” is an excellent song. Thank you Jonas for writing and producing this song. It is such a fun song to dance to, upbeat, and love the lyrics. I also bought “Before It Explode” another excellent song and I thank Mr. Bruno Mars for your collaborations. I can’t wait to hear all Charice’s new singles on the radio and I am anxious for her new CD. SHE’s BACK!!

I remembered reading a Glee article that mentioned when they shot LISTEN, they decided to use the actual, normal reactions of the cast during Charice’ performance and not having to let them “act it out”. I believe it was the same exact scenario here. Did I see some teary-eyed Gleek? You betcha! That’s the Charice’ effect. And I thought I was weird when I found myself tearing up during the early days of my Chaddiction J Thanks to Charicemania, I know I’m not alone. No shrink needed!

& a whole new chapter begins April 19th!
.
With THREE new singles plus her Glee songs being released over the next few weeks – happy days!
.
Join us at CM Chat 30 minutes before Glee for a buying party to push “Before it Explodes” and “All By Myself” up in the iTunes & Amazon rankings just before the Gleeks show-up to buy “All By Myself” as that will help sales of both, especially, “Before it Explodes” (which is more important to Charice’s career)

Webby at what time on April 19 (EST, PST) do we begin downloading together? As long as we get it to no.1 in during that hour…will it be recorded no.1 as such?
Can we just purchase 100 downloads at one purchase or we need to download one at a time?
Let’s us know which one first ABM or BIE. Itunes or Amazon?
You’r a great co-ordinator!! Lead-on.

Also, if Cha’s Glee appearances can help their careers, perhaps by c8ing opportunities for them in Asian markets — product endorsements, special appearances, either individually or as a group, that would really garner additional support from the cast of Cha success on the show.

Anyway, Charice should be not put down for her accent because that is the role she is expected to play – and that she did well (as we all know Charice can remove her accent in signing!), but the acting itself needs to progressively improved as it has done so considerably compared to her 1st appearance.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN JACKY CHAN SPEAK STRAIGHT ENGLISH IN ANY OF HIS HOLLYWOOD FILMS , INTONATION INCLUDED ?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN JET LI SPEAK SUCCESSIVE SENTENCES IN ENGLISH IN ANY OF HIS FILMS ?
Never ! ….. Why ? Because thier role is to be Asian and Asian diction is the most natural thing !
Charice ? her role was the creation of GLEE .
If the DIRECTOR was not satisfied with her acting , he could have called a thousand and one RETAKES !
AMEN TO THAT !
