- Catch up on your Glee! You can read my “Music in Glee” mini review of “Summer Nights” for episode 10 of season 3, “Yes/No” here.
Not a big Rihanna fan, but “We Found Love” is one of my favorites of hers – and it’s one of my favorites that Glee covers as well. But something still felt a bit…off about the way the song was executed in the episode. Parts I liked, parts I didn’t like – so I thought I’d cover my own pros and cons to the number, just for fun.
Why “We Found Love” Left Me Cold:
- How realistic is it, really? I admit the outlandishness of the idea does have romance written all over it, but at the same time the whole thing felt just a tad…awkward and out-of-place (what does a swimming pool have to do with anything, other than Sam’s new involvement in synchronized swimming?).
- The choreography. Numerous accounts from cast members vouched for the intensity of the number, from being in the cold water all day to the rigorous nature of it. Not complaining outright of course and I doubt any fans took it that way, but it left me to wonder…was the scene really worth all the time and energy expended to create it?
How “We Found Love” Was Totally Awesome:
- Everything else aside, you’ve also got to admit that Will’s proposal to Emma was pretty darn romantic. I mean, how many guys would jump in a pool surrounded by synchronized swimmers for you?
- Despite its awkwardness, or silliness, or outlandishness, his proposal to Emma really did suit Will’s character. He’s always going above and beyond for anyone, whether it’s his students or the love of his life.
I encourage you all to either agree or disagree with me, let’s have a discussion! What did you think about the whole pool-proposal to “We Found Love” in “Yes/No”? Head to the comments and add your own pros and cons.
