Posted August 23, 201212 yr We've already got a few threads on the whole of series 4, but as this is the first episode (and we know quite a few things about it already), I thought it was time for its own thread. And the first trailer just for this episode has been broadcast: 9yQADHK06D4 Songs confirmed so far: "Chasing Pavements" (Adele) - New Directions "Call Me Maybe" (Carly Rae Jepsen) - New Directions "Dance Again" (Jennifer Lopez) - Cassandra July (Kate Hudson's character) with NYADA "It's Time" (Imagine Dragons) - Blaine Also, we'll be seeing Wade join New Directions (I'm not sure if that's this episode or not though) and Sue's baby for the first time!
August 23, 201212 yr 'Dance Again' sounds TERRIBLE from that (albeit very small) clip in that trailer. Very much looking forward to Blaine's cover of 'It's Time' as it's his version in the other teaser that got me into the original. Hope their 'Call Me Maybe' is as fun as I'm hoping for it to be. Looking forward to seeing how they keep the other originals in this series. They have an idea for Rachel and Kurt, but how is it going to work for the others who have "graduated"?
August 23, 201212 yr I lol'd when I read they were doing 'Dance Again' just because of how much of a SMASH it was. Not that they can't cover flops. Really liking the tracklist overall so far. I'm actually happy about Wade joining New Directions as I ended up liking the character. Hopefully we get some more drag performances, they were fun!
August 23, 201212 yr Nice song list, I do agree Dance Again sounds bad but It's Time sounds great and Call Me Maybe and Chasing Pavements should be great!
August 27, 201212 yr IT'S TIME FOR NEW FACES AND NEW PLACES ON AN ALL-NEW "GLEE" THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 ON FOX Kate Hudson ("Nine") Guest-Stars In the season premiere episode, the members of New Directions compete amongst themselves to become the next star of the glee club. During open auditions, a fresh crop of students is introduced, including Marley (Melissa Benoist) and Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist), Puck's half-brother. Meanwhile, Rachel (Lea Michele) has a rocky start at NYADA and struggles to please her demanding dance teacher, Cassandra July (guest star Kate Hudson). She also meets Brody (Dean Geyer), a handsome upperclassman in the Season Four premiere episode, "The New Rachel," airing on a new night and time Thursday, Sept. 13 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) following THE X FACTOR on FOX. (GLE-401) (TV-14) Another confirmed song - Jake will be singing 'Never Say Never', not by Justin Bieber but by The Fray. A4DnPBiSCQk
August 29, 201212 yr This episode will also see the introduction of Rachel's possible new partner and all around Aussie piece of hunk Brody. http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2012/07/24/1226434/266492-dean-geyer.jpg All I can say is Rachel 'Go get THAT'!.
August 30, 201212 yr Author "Dance Again" will be mashed-up with a Lady GaGa song, presumably "Just Dance".
September 6, 201212 yr 'It's Time', 'Call Me Maybe' and 'Americano'/'Dance Again' have premiered (as well as two Britney numbers!) 'It's Time': Kxt_T4NsIyk Lovely. Not as good as the Imagine Dragons original, but it's a good version! Hopefully it gives the original a boost it deserves. --- 'Call Me Maybe': zZlHO1kIY9Q Oh dear. Not as good as it could/should have been. I reckon it'll grow on me, but that's just because of how good the original is. So I dunno. --- 'Americano'/'Dance Again': 9JTDX_AKlmM Ugh. THIS is why 'Dance Again' sounded terrible in the preview. They've gone and mixed it with the terrible Lady GaGa song. :puke:
September 6, 201212 yr They're all a bit underwhelming, the production in all tracks sounds a little off to me. :( The chorus of 'Call Me Maybe' sounds like an iTunes fake version. I don't mind the mash-up of 'Dance Again' & 'Americano' as such but they could've picked a better GaGa song, not one of the worst from the album. Was never a fan of 'Dance Again' either.
September 8, 201212 yr I really love the Americano bits of Cassandra's mash-up but the Dance Again bits are pretty bad, I'm conflicted :lol:
September 10, 201212 yr The rest of the songs have been released on iTunes, 'Chasing Pavements' is really good, Marley sounds great. Jake is also pretty good on his cover of The Fray so suddenly I'm feeling a lot better about the new people. fXVtE95BAUY
September 14, 201212 yr Author A decent opening episode! There was perhaps a bit too much Rachel and not enough of the older members of New Directions, but I liked Marley and her introduction. "Call Me Maybe" was probably my least favourite performance (mainly because of my love for the original) - "New York State of Mind" was my highlight, I love it anyway when Glee do duets with characters in multiple scenes.
September 14, 201212 yr Best season opener since the series premiere. Loved every bit of it and didn't skip any of the songs (which I usually do). One thing I don't like, though, is Sue's baby story.
September 14, 201212 yr It was great, the split narrative worked well. There were enough of the older members so I wasn't missing people like Mercedes/Santana/Quinn (and certainly not Finn as I almost forgot him altogether) and the introductions for both Marley & Jake were good. 'Chasing Pavements' was my favourite performance but none were bad, it was sweet to see Rachel & Kurt reuniting. Loved the New York setting.
September 15, 201212 yr It was great - I was worried about the whole split setting thing but it worked! There was a bit too much Rachel I agree but seeing as the episode was called 'The New Rachel' I did expect a bit of a Rachel focus, maybe in later episodes she'll appear less and New Directions will come to the forefront. I like how they got pushed back down again, also loving Kitty, I'm getting real early Quinn flashbacks from her. Edited September 15, 201212 yr by Liаm
