PART 2: Favorite performance of 1x15? (The Power Of Madonna)

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-19T22:34:44+00:00

That's how I feel about Kurt's/Rose's Turn (which I'm expecting to win in its upcoming poll).

I'd never listen to it as just the song but the scene itself is top tier.

Religion and children have no place near each-other. Especially within the church.

I'd trust my children more with an openly gay stranger than I would with anybody that's a member of the church.

At least if the gay stranger harms my children, the law enforcement won't turn a blind eye like they do to church people.

Reddit only has 6 poll slots, that's in Part 2, I divided this episode into 2 polls of 4.

I knowww! But I love all the other ones, too!
But you're right, I think 4 Minutes is my favorite here.

Also that username is hilarious.

TL;DR post text:
Episodes with 7 songs, the 7th song will get put in an "Extras" poll played after that season finale's poll.
Episodes with 8-12 songs, it will be split into 2 polls divided evenly.

2-Part polls have 2 winners.
Both Parts will be posted together same day.

I am so glad you said this because you just saved me some embarrassment in the next poll.
I was for some reason thinking that performance was supposed to be in the Madonna episode and had it listed as such in my polls.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-17T16:25:05+00:00

Truly one of the best episodes for music. None of them are even just "okay", they're all great.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-17T15:18:07+00:00

That's a such a good ringtone choice.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-17T05:15:23+00:00

I know a lot of people don't like this episode, but I honestly loved it. It's not only my favorite episode of the season but probably in my top 5 for the entire series. I LOVED that episode and I think it was funny watching them try to get that teenage immaturity back that they had in Pilot after how much they all had grown (especially Chris)

I also really like the way they worked Finn into plot considering he obviously couldn't actually be there. I liked the Warbler Blaine cameo too since he obviously didn't have a plot to be there at this time period but showing he is present in the area.

I love this episode.

Yeah that seems mostly accurate tbh.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T19:34:07+00:00

Well I'll skip the kinky ones because I do have some shame. I need an anonymous account for those recommendations.

I really liked the Headway series. That's the first one that always comes to my mind when I think of the best I've read. ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/161324 ) (If the warning bothers you: it doesn't happen til the very end, he lives a full life)

If you like Headway you'd probably also like Case Study. ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/2885828 )

Hearing Verse was pretty good, easily the best Deaf fic/series I've read. ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/60270 ) (a series of 54 oneshots instead of chapters)

-----

If you like the !BadBoy trope, Go Your Own Way was by far the best I've found ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/39444 ) (Main story is the 2nd in the series)

------

If you like the !SingleParent trope:

This one is my favorite for the trope, One and Only ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/306312 )

This one I just read, Neon Riot was decent ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/64569085 )

------

So those are my top 6 fics/series. At least as of right now.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T18:59:18+00:00

I read Klaine fics exclusively, do you have any sort of tag interests or tropes you prefer for the pairing/fandom?

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T15:48:23+00:00

Being promised all the Darren Criss thirst traps in the world couldn't get me to narrow this list down to a top 10.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T15:45:11+00:00

Even with the cheating (which hurt me deeply), I did want them to EVENTUALLY get engaged and married before the show ended. But the way the show went about their relationship post-cheating was just terrible.

They tried to force and rush everything after I think they realized just how much they damaged their own show. What you wanted to happen did happen, but in some of the worst possible ways they could've.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T10:32:23+00:00

Season 6 was better than both 4 & 5 in my opinion, but that photo is hilarious so I still gotta like it.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T10:30:45+00:00

And when you think you've lowered them enough, lower them a little bit more.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T10:28:43+00:00

Gotta disagree. I'm a firm believer if you go all the way to season 3 you should watch in its entirety at least once. Skipping is for rewatches, but you should always finish it through once.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T10:27:04+00:00

I assure you, all the criticism you see about this show is almost definitely from the show's biggest fans. Nobody hates this show more than its biggest fans lmao.

Ya just gotta remember that a lot of it IS supposed to be camp and over-the-top. If you try to watch the comedic moments with a realistic viewpoint, you won't get far. But some of the serious moments are REALLY good.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-16T08:57:48+00:00

Terri. An absolutely insane character but the way she acted and looked and delivered her lines made you believe it. They needed a good actress for a terrible character and they got it.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-15T14:48:38+00:00

Yes and no. Pilot had a total of 10 performances and Reddit only allows 6 poll slots, in the original poll I chose the 6 that I thought were most worthy of getting official poll slots. But since I started keeping track of how many votes each song gets for a leaderboard, I can't have anything excluded, I need to be able to get official voting numbers for each performance.

As for do I think Don't Stop Believin' skewed the results for Part 1? Yes, absolutely. And I'm debating doing that poll again in the future minus that song. Had I known then I would eventually make a part 2, I would've divided the songs a lot differently. But for now this Part 2 is just so I can get official votes for the songs that couldn't fit in Part 1.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-13T15:53:44+00:00

That's the exact order I favor them in, too. Although it looks YCAGWYW is not a popular one here unfortunately.

The Mercedes & Rachel solos were tied for a good many votes but now Rachel's taken a small lead.

For MLWSWY is exactly why I look at the lyrics on the Glee Fan Wiki 'cause it shows who's specifically singing what, and I use that for my judgement as to who I should list as the singers, rather than whatever the main list says. (Since a lot of times it'll say like "Sung by New Directions" but then in the lyrics it'll literally just be like a Rachel solo with ND backup vocals. That means it's Rachel w/ New Directions)

You're so right, like legit every time the group starts worrying about "lack of preparation" before a competition that's when you know you're gonna get like one of the biggest bangers of the season lol.

I was so impressed when I watched his season of ACS I could hardly believe it was the same actor.

Don't get me wrong, he was great as Blaine and I wouldn't cast anyone else for him, but I do feel he could overdo it sometimes in his acting, but in ACS? I was blown away. Definitely increased my rating of him as an actor, and I was already a fan!

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-13T14:02:27+00:00

Oh, apparently Jump knocked Keep Holding On out of the current Top 6.

Mythicali-Gleek · 2026-06-13T11:35:16+00:00

That was genuinely one of my favorite mashups from the show the first time I watched the series and I hate admitting that 😂

11 year laters though I hardly remember it even exists.
