'Glee': Madonna brings sexual confidence and a message of female empowerment
Just finished screening "Glee's" Madonna tribute episode and I must express what a ray of light it brought to my day. I'm sure I don't have to justify my love for it to you -- I know your hearts are open to it, as the series is enjoying a great vogue right now -- but give me 3 or 4 minutes to explain why its borderline genius.The writers have taken what is iconic about the star -- her sexual confidence and message of female empowerment -- and woven it into a storyline.
The virginity of three different characters -- one of them, pretty much frozen to the touch of a man -- is at the center of the hour's drama, and how each deals with their situation communicates a level of strength.
Plus, treating women with respect and what it feels like to be a girl is addressed.
Other bonuses?
Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) does a solidly entertaining cone-era Madge impression, Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) team up (platonically, of course) and that extra special Artie-Tina (Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz) moment we've been waiting for just might go down.
Say, like, a little prayer and surely it'll happen...
Excited for "Glee"'s second spring episode?
What about its first, for that matter?

yea because we want our kids to learn about life from Madonna...
Grow up marry an abusive communist/socialist and when that goes bad experiment with bisexuality heck any sexuality that you can get....
Then adopt a British accent and to go along with that Adopt a child from every continent in the world.
Then give up your religion and become an ultra conservative Jew even though your faith in God is so absent that you constantly work offensive bashing of religion into your performances....
Yes these are the values every child should adopt...

Although if Glee's track record is any indication, this episode will actually make me like Madonna songs.
