Lyla's POV
I lay my head on Mike's shoulder as Mr. Schue writes 'CHRISTOPHER CROSS' on the whiteboard
"All right, who can tell me who Christopher Cross is?" Mr. Schue asks
"He discovered America." Brit says
"Hell yeah, he did, Britt-Britt." I say as I high five her
"Close. He did write an iconic chart topper: 'Sailing.'" Mr. Schue says
"I have a bad feeling about this lesson." Kurt says
"Never heard of him, don't want to hear about him." Tina says from the other side of Mike
"Preach." I say as she fist bumps me
"Now some people think of the term "Easy Listening" as a bad thing. But I'm going to let this music speak for itself. You guys love Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones... and you guys are really good about putting it all out there. But really good music can also be controlled, and restrained. It doesn't have to attack an audience, it can let them come to you." Mr. Schue says as he hands out the sheet music
"How could you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like a hundred miles apart." Finn says
"Mr. Schue? If I may. I think I speak for all of us when I say it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth Adult Contemporary, it's just that, as teens, this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to. However, there is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swelled to over five members. The ardent demand: That this week, at the fall homecoming assembly, the McKinley High School Glee Club performs a number by...wait for it...Ms. Britney Spears." Kurt says
"Yes!" A few of us exclaim
"Spears, Spears, yeah." Artie says
"Sorry, Kurt, Kurt, sorry. No, no, no. I don't think she's a very good role model." Mr. Schue says
"Boo!" I groan as I give him a thumbs down
"But, Mr. Schue, we kind of grew of up with her." Rachel says
"She's literally why I wanted to become a performer." Tina says
"I don't wanna do Britney." Brittany says and we all look at her
"Why no Britney, Brittany?" Kurt asks her
"Because my name is also Brittany Spears." Brit says
"What?!" Mr. Schue asks confused
"What the hell is she talking about?" Mercedes asks
"My middle name is Susan, my last name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierce. "Brittany Spierce." I've lived my entire life in Britney Spear's shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you'll all respect that I want Glee Club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears." Brit says
