 |
“Hairography” is the eleventh episode of the television series Glee. The episode premiered on the Fox network on November 25, 2009. It was written by series co-creator Ian Brennan and directed by Bill D’Elia. The episode introduces New Directions’ rival glee clubs, the Jane Addams Academy for girls recently released from juvenile detention and the Haverbrook Deaf Choir. Sue gives New Directions’ set-list for Sectionals to the competing clubs in order to damage New Directions’ chances of progressing to Nationals. Quinn reconsiders having her baby adopted, but ultimately recommits to the idea, and Rachel tries unsuccessfully to attract Finn.
Eve guest-stars as Grace Hitchens, director of a rival glee club, and So You Think You Can Dance contestants Katee Shean, Kherington Payne and Comfort Fedoke appear as members of her group. The episode features covers of eight songs, including a mash-up of “Hair” by the cast of Hair and “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé Knowles. Studio recordings of all but one of the songs performed in the episode were released as singles, available for digital download.
The episode was watched by 6.1 million viewers and received mixed reviews from critics. Raymund Flandez of The Wall Street Journal deemed the mash-up performance one of the worst of the season, with Zap2it’s Liz Pardue agreeing that the performance was “hideous”. Flandez, Pardue and Mike Hale of the New York Times all felt that it was inappropriate for New Directions to interrupt the deaf choir’s performance of “Imagine”, however Bobby Hankinson of the Houston Chronicle opined that reviewers needed to “realize that this show takes its jabs at everyone, but it always has a wink and a hug and lots and lots of love behind it”. Both Pardue and Gerrick D. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times criticized the on-going pregnancy storyline, hoping for a swift conclusion.
