Song Beneath the Song

So many bad reviews but does anybody know what a musical is? I actually bought the whole soundtrack.I was impressed with the musical skills of the Grey's Anatomy Cast. The musical is supposed to tell a story and I really enjoyed it in spite of the negative reviews. Kudos to the riders for trying something new. No I wouldn't want the whole show to be a musical but it was refreshing for just one episode. Good job .

I was not at all prepared for what was to come when I started watching this episode. After the first song I thought: well, maybe this was it, let's get on with the rest.

But then came another song, and another... It wasn't badly sung, and I've always really enjoyed the background music in Grey's, but this was too far-fetched for me. I actually found it challenging to go on watching as each new song made me cringe. I thought it distracted from the dialogue, emotions and suspense in what could've been a great episode. But then again, I've watched every episode up 'til now (including the painful documentary-like one someone mentioned earlier) and I really wanted to know what was going to happen.

So, I watched the whole thing and though I applaud the cast for doing this as I'm sure a lot of them weren't happy about it, I ask that please, don't EVER do this again.

I know not many people did, but I loved it. Usually, the musical episode of any show is one of my favorites. So many great singers and songs. The utilized the best singers so well. It was the perfect episode to do as a musical. I loved how they only used songs that had already been featured in previous episodes of the show. Sara Ramirez is so talented and so it made sense to have the episode feature Callie. Not all the actors are amazing singers, but they still did great and were great sports for trying. This is one episode I go back and watch again and again. I know it will never happen, but I would be ok if they did another musical episode.

I know a lot of people have a strong opinion on this episode: either you despise it or you absolutely adore it. Come as it should, I completely fell in love with this episode. This is my first review ever because I just got *SO EXCITED* about this episode I couldn't leave things unsaid. It wasn't perfect - the fast number was unnecessary IMO and of course it was overdone and dramatized. There is excellent character development & great cast chemistry and of course showcasing of remarkable vocal talent! It's a love or hate situation and I can't change your minds, I can only help you see it objectively.

I commend Sara Ramirez on her stellar performance, she is a total star! Also I absolutely *ADORE* Kevin McKidd in this episode - his voice is stunningly gorgeous, who knew he had it in him! Eric Dane delivered remarkable acting and the rest of the cast shone as well. In my opinion a great episode that is so very unique.

It's important to remember this is happening in Callie's subconscious/out-of-body experience and of course they would never usually sing to each other - it's a way for her to cope with the accident I'm guessing.

Look, I love musicals and I love medical dramas. Together? No.

The singing completely kills the tension. Badly written, well performed. Musical episodes serve some series excellently. Not this one.
