- Catch up on your Glee! You can read my “Music in Glee” mini review of “We Found Love” for episode 10 of season 3, “Yes/No” here.
Usually my favorite song from a Glee episode is to be expected – a really big number, or a popular song choice I’ve been dying to hear from a certain character. But this time, in episode 10 “Yes/No”, my favorite happened to be a bit more of a subtle song choice: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”.
Mercedes said it all in the bathroom at the finish – it was just so emotional. We’ve heard love songs on Glee before – from Rachel to Finn, Puck to Rachel, Santana about Brittany, and countless others – but never one quite like this.
“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” accomplishes something I haven’t quite felt since Tina/Jenna Ushkowitz’s “True Colors” in season 1 – a sense of glee club camaraderie on a purely emotional level, only this time, it’s just with the girls. It also relates well to the episode. Its raw emotion perfectly accompanies Will’s search for the best love song for his proposal to Emma.
And who saw it coming that Mercedes would picture Sam? Totally called it.
