I saw the first episode titled “Audition” of Glee season 2 and I have to say this season looks to be a good one. I was wondering how Charice Pempengco would do in her acting debut and if the nerves would get to her (I know if I were to act for the first time in a hit show like Glee I would be nervous), but I have to say I was very surprised and impressed with Charice.
Charice plays Sunshine Corazon, a foreign exchange student to William McKinley High School from the Philippines and who is a rival to Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).
I think after watching this episode it makes me dislike Rachel Berry even more, how she assumed Sunshine didn’t know any English and giving her the fake address to the crackhouse was very low. It made me root for Charice’s character even more when she finally made it to auditions for New Directions glee club, and to top it off she did an amazing performance of “Listen” from Dreamgirls.
Sunshine was Rachel’s main competition and she was so threatened by her amazing voice she bullied her. So Sunshine takes an offer from Dustin Goolsby, the coach of rival school Carmel High and transfers over to join Vocal Adrenaline because they gave her family a nice home and green card.
It would have been nice if Charice was apart of New Directions and teamed up Lea Michelle making them a powerhouse, but I guess it wouldn’t be fair to have two great vocalists, it would defeat the purpose of competition.
