Glee's Loser Like Me

The first time I heard the original Glee song - Loser Like Me, it struck a chord in my heart. I remember being branded as a loser by the mean girls in school. I was in kindergarten then. I vividly recall these two girls who wouldn't talk nor come near me because I was not pretty nor rich enough to get in their clique! Mind you, we were in kindergarten and "mean girls" already existed then.

They would poke fun of me all the time. I dreaded recess time because they would make nasty comments like "let's not talk to her because she's poor," "she has shabby clothes," "she's too small," etc., etc. That's the reason why I can relate so well with Glee. I was an outcast then.

Imagine how those remarks made me feel as a young five-year old girl. I would often come home crying and begged my mom not to take me to that school. I never told why but now I am telling because a loser like me can rise to the challenge. I may have not been the CEO of a company nor have my own firm. I may not hold a post in politics nor become somebody famous but I know who I am - I am a happy mom, wife, daughter, sister, cousin and a friend all rolled in one. I have a family who loves me. I have seen places other people have not even been to. I have bought a property out of my own hard-earned money. I help my family. I have graduated with honors. I have true friends who love me for who I am and accept me just the same. I have it all. I don't care where those two girls are now. They may be filthy rich by now, who cares! I don't. So, this song is for all those who bullied me before. Look at me now and drool!

Loser Like Me Lyrics

Glee original song

Yeah you may think that I'm a zero
But hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freak show (I don't care)
But hey, give it just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwing my way
It ain't so hard to take
That's right (that's right)
'Cos I know one day you'll be screaming my name
And I'll just look away
That's right (that's right)

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
Or get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinking 'bout you haters
'Cos hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwing my way
It ain't so hard to take
That's right (that's right)
'Cos I know one day you'll be screaming my name
And I'll just look away
That's right (that's right)

Just go ahead and hate on me or run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

Hey you over there
Keep the "L" up in the air
Hey you over there
Keep the "L" up 'cos I don't care
You can throw your stick
And you can throw your stones
Like a rocket just watch me go
Yeah
L-O-S-E-R
I can only be who I are

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

Thriller on Glee

I love Glee! I missed it so much I kept bugging my husband since morning to download the latest Glee episode. Their episode this week with the rendition of Thriller is so fabulous! The make-up is so realistic you can almost feel their gory presence next to you.

Their plot is very apt and just in time for the Super Bowl. Glee loyalists and football fans are thrilled to have a showcase of football, half-time entertainment and some good cheer.

Glee's cover of the mash-up of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Yeah-Yeah-Yeah's Heads Will Roll will surely be one of the top downloads in the digital music. I know I will download this soon :)

Charice Pempengco in Glee!

Charice is officially in Glee Season 2! Yehey! She is a Filipino international artist who rose to fame upon the discovery of her talent through You Tube.

She is the singer behind the top dance hit - Pyramid with Iyaz. She has also made headlines when she had a duet with no other than Andrea Bocelli and later sang duet with Celine Dion. She also had a guest stint at Oprah and Ellen de Generes show.

I am so glad she is making a name for herself now and international at that! She may have not won the local singing contest here in the Philippines but she surely won the following of her fans abroad! Go girl! You make us all proud!

And this will be bad news to Rachel Berry ;)

I Love GLEE!

I am a frustrated singer. I love MUSIC but my love is unrequited. I joined Glee Club during my younger years but my range never suited second voice. I tried practicing at home using our karaoke system but I still go out of tune and murder the lyrics badly. So, I conclude that my relationship with Music has been doomed from the start. Sigh!

Well, my lack of talent in the singing world makes up for my skills in other aspect in the Arts field. However, just because I cannot sing properly does not mean I loathe musical or anything involving singing. I just got hooked watching GLEE. My daydreams are now tuned to watching these bunch of so-called misfits sing their hearts out. Of course, I imagine myself being the lead in the musical in that show. It's free to dream anyway. That's the closest I can get to being a singer ;)

The GLEE show is so great in terms of talent and charisma coming from each star of the show. I love the fact that we can watch it as a family show but with parental guidance of course. There are scenes and sexual innuendos here and there which are not ripe for my daughter. I do not condone that aspect but if you look at what the show has to offer in terms of lessons to learn, making tough choices, valuing friendships and relationships, trust, honesty and smidges of moral, then I can say that the show is loaded. We are not even talking about their vocal prowess yet!

The casts are really talented. Most of them have theatre experience so they are believable in the show because they do all the songs themselves. Wow!
