Despite our love/hate relationship with Glee, we’ll always consider ourselves Gleeks. After the “Guilty Pleasures” episode, our feelings are leaning toward the middle of the spectrum. Some of the events were just not okay, like Rachel not completely flipping out on Brody. Hello, he’s a male hooker! Instead, she’s just like, “Yeah, it’s over. Meh.” Did she not think of the health concerns?? Girl needs to get a hold of herself. Besides that, we’re not totally sure New Directions — or the producers of the show — know what ‘guilty pleasures’ means…
1. Wham! “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” is one of the duo’s cheesiest songs, but to call Wham! a guilty pleasure’s a little bit… rude, almost. Just our opinion though. Probably because we’re obsessed with “Last Christmas.”

2. Barry Manilow. ”Copacabana” is the party song. If appreciating Lola (who was a showgirl) and Rico (who wore a diamond) is wrong, we don’t wanna be right.

3. Phil Collins. Umm, he’s Lily Collins‘ dad therefore he’s wonderful.

4. Spice Girls. We’ll say this as calmly as possible… SPICE GIRLS IS NOT A GUILTY PLEASURE!!! No one under the age of 40 should be ashamed to say that she’s into the British fivesome. Especially a bunch of teenagers. Like, ‘who do you think you are?’

5. ABBA. Or moreso Mamma Mia! Not seeing the translation here. Is it a guilty pleasure because of its Broadway musical status?

Guilty pleasures we’re willing to accept as actual guilty pleasures:
Kurt’s Richard Simmons workout
Tumblr (klinchel)
Jake’s love for Chris Brown and Bobby Brown tunes

Boyfriend Arms

Are boyfrined arms a real thing? bc i need one
RIGHT!!!!!! THE SPIDE GIRLS OWNED MY LIFE
Actually, if those are the reasons of ”Why We’re Not Impressed with the “Guilty Pleasures”, I presume ”we” didn’t really watch the episode.
- Blaine and Sam sang Wham! ’cause when Sam asked Blaine what was his guilty pleasure, instead of saying Sam, he said Wham!, just as a scape;
- Barry Manilow it has great songs, but go ahead and check out if a high school boy would tell the world ”Yeah, I like Barry Manilow and Lola and Rico, who wore diamonds.” it’s not wrong, but just really not usual;
- About Phil Collins and All Agains the Odds, the song wasn’t retracted as a guilty pleasure. It was just a way for Blaine to tell Sam how he feels, and then told the others that was a guilty pleasures as another scape for not telling them the truth;
- In the Spice Girls case, again, you can think that like Spice Girls isn’t a guilty pleasure, but to the most part of the world, it is indeed. It’s just a fact;
- Mamma Mia! is considered a guilty pleasure just for the same reasons as Barry Manilow. Go ahead in a High School and ask people what they think about Broadway. Not everywhere it’s like this, and the answers ain’t always true, but in fact there is a lot of people who rather hide their theater geek side;
Now the really thing I don’t understand is why teen.com started pointing ”stupid things” in all Glee episodes since the beginning of season 4…
what? O.o
