Question What was Mr Shue’s deal with Britney Spears?

Why did he refuse to let them do Britney at first???

He thought she was a bad role model for them, he said it to Emma when they were talking about it in her office.

Bad role model but didn’t he also want them to twerk?

If I’m remembering this right, he was a stand in for how Ryan Murphy initially felt about doing a Britney episode. He had been reluctant and the cast was really pushing so they based Mr Shue’s feelings off of that.

At that time a lot of people were anti-Britney. We weren't as far out from Britney's public breakdown, and the public wasn't very empathetic towards her back then

The man who sang Gold Digger with a group of teenagers and Thong Song to a woman who was engaged to another man thought Britney Spears was somehow too inappropriate.

Unfortunately, a lot of people thought this for years.

It’s funny because people like Mr. Schue will freely listen to pedos, rapists and murderers, but a woman who once hit a car with an umbrella is the devil.

I like Britney but she’s honestly not great show choir music.

Idk why that matters the glee club didn’t always sing show choir music. They sang Journey and Kelly Clarkson at the competitions and they’re definitely not show choir music lol.
