"Glee" Super Bowl episode can't match hype

OM-Glee! If you didn't watch last night's new episode of Glee, you must have been trying to get a seat at Cowboy's stadium or maybe looking up Cristina Aguilera's oopsie on YouTube.

Glee is back with new songs, cheerleaders in blue wigs and dancing football player zombies. Tonight's so-expected new episode had great musical numbers, as usual, but sadly weren't as great as this fan hoped.

I was a bit disappointed with tonight's episode. We all have been reading rumors on Facebook about a cheerleader flying out of a human cannon and even though launching anyone out of a cannon is dangerous it seemed provocative, but Glee didn't deliver. Yes, someone got launched out of the human cannon in the first half of the episode, but it didn't include a choreographed performance to go with it, or a human pyramid. If you are going to launch someone out of a cannon, you might as well go the extra mile and include a musical number to go with it.

On a more positive note, who would have thought that the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Heads Will Roll" and MJ's classic, "Thriller" would be the perfect mix for a musical number in tonight's episode?

Glee's producers, that's who. Tonight's highlight was definitely this incredible mash up featuring choreography and make-up that definitely gave Glee's fans a moment to die for.

Speaking of things to die for, what about Darrin Criss singing Destiny's Child's 1999 hit "Bills, Bills, Bills?" That boy has soul and definitely has a voice that will bring anyone back from the dead. Glee went a little R&B in this episode and a little country too. Mark Sallings and Leah Michelle's cover of Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" was probably one of the best duets I have ever seen in the show. Now it doesn't top Chris Colfer and Leah Michelle's version of "Defying Gravity," but it was still very well done.

Even though fans were expecting a very explosive episode – literally - Glee may have tried too hard this time.

Tonight's episode opened with Katy Perry's "California Girls." The number included a whole bunch of high school cheerleaders wearing blue wigs and dancing in their bras, accompanied by a few stunts here and there, but for being a new episode of Glee after the Super Bowl, I don't think it was as amazing as it could have been. The last time Glee did a Katy Perry song, it had everyone salivating for weeks over Darren Criss. This time, the number wasn't as memorable.

Hopefully next week's attempt at Katy Perry's "Firework" will not have us feeling like a plastic bag drifting through the wind.
