"Alright so, the person this song goes out to isn't even in this room but you losers all know who it's to. This assignment was just another reason for me to sing to him so thanks Shue for creating a completely unoriginal assignment just so that you can try to get your brownie points with Ms Pillsbury who we all know isn't going to give you a key to the chastity belt anytime soon. Back to what I was saying. Yeah Puck and I have our ups and downs and sometimes he gets on my last dam nerve but in the end he's probably the only one who can ever put up with me. And let's face it, other girls have tried to put up with him. Not going to name names." She didn't have to and instead glanced over at Quinn and her growing stomach. "Anyways, this goes out to him and I'm hoping you morons don't take it as some sort of sign that I'm suddenly going to go all soft on you."

With that, Santana started her song taking all three parts instead of making it a shared piece as it was possibly intended.

Rachel stood up, nervously playing with her hem of her shirt. The day had gone.... unexpectedly to say the very least and ever since Lunch, she had been off-balance. She cleared her throat. 

“This is called Some Enchanting Evening. It is from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific.” She didn’t imagine anyone, but maybe Kurt, to know the musical, but it was always to good to give the credit. “It is by a male lead, obviously, so I will be singing the Barbra Streisand rendition from her Back to Broadway album.” 

She sang the song and flushed slightly when she struggled with pronouns once. She knew it was because the Streisand version had changed the original hers to hims and she hadn’t practiced it again at lunch, as planned. It definitely had nothing to do with anything else.

Nostalgia

“I grew up in Paris. Many of you know because you asked about my accent. My mother and father didn’t know many American music. But what they did was.... old? I did not know until we moved here and I hear my father singing Earth, Wind & Fire or mother singing Stevie Wonder. They enjoy old rhythm and blues. This was a song my mother sang to me a lot and when I got old enough, I started singing along and she realized that I could sing. So yes. Just the Two Of Us by Bill Withers.”

Finn stood at the front of the choir room, ready to follow through with his plan. He knew he should’ve done it before now - asking Natalie to be his official girlfriend - but he also knew that now was as right a time as any. And he wanted everyone else to know. “So, I know that the assignment was to do a song about who we really are. And mine is... kind of about that. It’s more about someone who always reminds me who I am and is totally okay with it.” He glanced up at Natalie, who was sitting in the chair next to where his was. She was so pretty and looked almost... nervous? She was making that face she sometimes did when she didn’t know what Finn was going to say but she hoped it was something really good. He was determined not to disappoint. “I can be myself with her and when I’m done singing, I’m kind of hoping she’ll say yes to being my girlfriend instead of just ‘my girl.’ “

Rachel stood in the middle of the room, looking back as the jazz band entered the room -- as if she could do this song without a brass section. She waited until they were still before looking back at the crowd in front of her. 

“When I heard about the assignment, I knew, obviously, that I would be doing a Barbra Streisand song. Barbra was always being played in my house as a child. There’s a definitely it’s my middle name, spelled the exact same way. Ms. Streisand has obviously influenced my life very much. So, yesterday, when I was looking for songs, I came upon this one and knew instantly that this was the song. And well, the words really speak for themselves, so.... hit it.”

I’ve been thinking long and hard all weekend about our next assignment. We’ve all come a long way as a group, but I feel like we need to remember who we are as people in order to become a better team and take the victory at Regionals. This week your task is to get in touch with your nostalgic sides. I want you all to dig deep and perform a song that makes you feel nostalgic and reminds you of who you really are.

As always, I’m here to help you out if you need it. You’re all free to stop by my classroom or office and we can talk. The deadline for this assignment is Sunday, February 7th, and as always don’t forget to tag your posts with eogglee.

Rachel ran her hands over the front of her skirt. “So... Brittany, I know that we aren’t friends.” That was the biggest understatement of the year.  She cleared her throat, “But I have always felt that this club was a place that everyone - with some talent, of course - could come together and we... could be a team. Even if I do agree that a team does need a lead,” She glances at Will for a second before turning her attention back to Brittany. “This club should be somewhere that you can feel safe and... be yourself. So, as a member of this team, now and hopefully after this week even since you won’t get the lead spot that you are demanding and since we’ve dedicated a whole week to you and Britney, I hope that you know that we, as a team, will always be there for you. While I don’t really care if you leave the Cheerios, I really hope that you stay with the glee club, we really need help with our dancing.”  She throws a small smile at Finn, who more than anyone needed the help.

Alright, everyone it’s taken me a while to think of this week’s assignment. I was leaning towards Smooth Jazz and talking to everyone about Michael Bolton, but other things have come to my attention. As a team if one member is hurting the entire team suffers. We aren’t just a team-- we’re a family. When one of our own is falling it’s up to us to pick them back up. Glee club isn’t just about competition or about the music, from last week we learned that it can be about emotion and healing. Brittany, I just want you to know that we see what’s happened and that we see your cry for help.

With that said this week is will be all about Brittany, and another Britney. That’s right it’s 

Britney Spears week. 

As for the members of Vocal Adrenaline you can use some of that variety that you’ve all been showing. As for the warblers this is just going to be a chance for you all to come into your own through the power of a pop princess.

You all have until Monday, February 1st to post your assignments. As a reminder, don’t forget to tag your post with “eogglee.”
