Song Beneath the Song

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.

I will be watching this one again just to hear the music and get emotional.

Let me start by saying their voices are SOO phenomenal - who knew so many of these talented actors were also beautiful singers?? They even sung well together which is not always easy or even possible depending on the voices - so I can totally see the producers' temptation to do an episode like this.

That said, I wish they had showcased them differently. This was a super important and emotional episode, and the singing was simply distracting. I would have preferred the music to have served as a soundtrack to the episode, sung by the cast but in the background during musical montages. Maybe they could have had an accompanying video after the episode so you could see who sung which parts or something.

But Hunt breaking into song in the middle of Callie's life-saving surgery was just too hard to get past.

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 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.
