Glee once again takes a break from Sunshine Corazon, and this week’s “Born This Way” is the first of the three episodes about McKinley High’s prom. So that leaves us with a two-week wait for another Charice comeback on the second-to-the-last episode, “Funeral”.
The episode title is from Lady Gaga’s hit, “Born This Way”, a song about positive self-image. The whole glee club dilemma about their own flaws surfaces when Rachel decides to get a nose job. After Santana points out everybody’s imperfections, Will decides to have them all perform to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”. The catch? They will all wear a tshirt printed with a description of what’s “wrong” with them.
Rachel and Finn perform a duet of “I Feel Pretty” from West Side Story mashed-up with “Unpretty” by TLC. Members of New Directions successfully convince Rachel to stop from changing her nose with a mall flash mob dance to “Barbra Streisand” by Duck Sauce. Streisand is Rachel’s idol, who also has a Jewish nose like her. She is known to have refused rhinoplasty as a means of helping her become more famous.
The other insecurities of the glee club are also tackled. Finn works on his lack of dancing talent with an entertaining dance number with Mike. Tina decides to be her own Asian sex symbol and stop hiding behind her blue contact lenses. Will also encourages Emma to seek treatment for her OCD. She takes one step to cure it by going to a specialist and taking the prescribed medicine. Quinn’s secret flaw is leaked when Lauren printed posters to sabotage her prom queen campaign.
It turns out that Quinn was overweight in middle school and transformed herself with a nose job for high school. Lauren’s plan to advance as prom queen backfires when Quinn became more relatable among students. Other prom related drama included Santana’s own plan to be prom queen. She plans on becoming more popular by helping the glee club win Nationals.
Santana enlists Karofsky to act as her boyfriend and convinces him to ask for Kurt’s forgiveness for his bullying. Kurt transfers back to McKinley after accepting Karfosky’s apology. The Dalton Warblers did a farewell performance for him with Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know”. As a comeback performance, Kurt sings an emotional “As If We Never Said Goodbye” from Sunset Boulevard.
The episode ends with the New Directions singing and dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” while wearing their own imperfection shirts. Here’s a list of everyone’s tshirt statement:
Artie – “Four Eyes”
Brittany – “I’m With Stoopid” (Arrow up)
Finn – “Can’t Dance”
Kurt – “Likes Boys”
Lauren – “Bad Attitude”
Mercedes – “No Weave!”
Mike – “Can’t Sing”
Puck – “I’m With Stupid” (Arrow down)
Quinn – “Lucy Caboosey”
Sam – “Trouty Mouth”
Santana – “Bitch” “Lebanese”
Tina – “Brown Eyes”
Emma – “Ginger” “OCD” (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Rachel - “Nose”
Will – “Butt Chin”

Hi. good that Sunshine OCrazon is not part of this episode…any gaga episode in the future. Lady gaga is anti-Christ, she clkaims to be the bride of Satan and her songs are all about abuse and deviance of religion or God. Just lie that Alejandro song..it is full of meanings..read the blogs about her songs. she is nto a good influence to any young artist or any person who believes in God and has faith in God. we can say that oh,it’s just music but music is a vehicle for inculcating values and ideas..No offense to Gaga’s fans

All she sings about is her relationship with bad boys (Judas,Alejandro,Bad Romance) which has nothing to do at all with religion. AND TRUE, she is an attention w__re.

Hmm.I don’t think once ever in my adolescent to grown up years did I ever want to change anything about my “slanted eyes”. To suggest that I would have a reason to even have any reservation about their appearance kind of irked me. They’re just another variation between people, like black hair, browh hair, tall, short. Not better or worse, just a type.
I understand what Glee is trying to say – that instead of conforming to the standards that the media bestows upon us, we should instead be the mantra for change. But I find it a little irksome that some people today probably still do think like Santan’s character regarding slanted eyes. I am not one bit insecure about them, but the show insinuated that some people in this world might see them as a slight flaw…which I never thought so. Love them.

@Jhune28, I can’t seem to find Bruno Mars’ tweet either, about the duet, but isn’t it too late for a duet when they’ve already released it as a single. I’m really disappointed how quiet he’s been about the BIE song release. He was touring with Jonelle Monae who performed with him and B.o.B at the Grammys. Too bad Charice wasn’t his opening act though she’s been hinting at some sort of tour, maybe when her next CD is released.

If Glee producers wants high TV ratings for the show, they totally missed the bus! They Asian viewers are more interested to know about the nose job done on Sunshine Corazon than on Rachel Berry to jibe with “Born This Way”!
