"How come when Rachel complains about not getting a solo she's claiming her stardom, but when I do it it's selfish?"
That's a very good point and no one really acknowledges it. Remind me why people like Rachel?

[alexaldana]

how come when rachel has a meltdown everyone gives her a pity party but when tina does it everybody else could care less about how she feels

[Epodmusic]

I genuinely agree with Tina and hate that everyone acted like she was over reacting. For one thing, I would hate that my race is what you identify me by. Not my name. Another thing would be that Will sucks at sharing the spotlight with the other students. He always says "Everyone will get their time to shine.... Rachel are you ready for this solo?" And if he doesn't say that, Rachel throws a bitch fit until she gets what she wants. Her name is Tina. Hear her roar and give her shot dammit.

[hermaanaandersen]

Okay but, Tina got a solo in season 1 and Rachel threw a fit about it then, this has been going on since the first season, Rachel can actually piss off, I wish she had a moment to humble herself somewhere in the show smh

[lindseyparini]

Honestly I agree with Tina she barely gets solos and she is very talented she deserved it for working her but off and she finally needs to be heard

[emilykira]

This is not the "seniors" last chance to preform". Even if Rachel was a freshman, she was going to get a solo.

[okamilover]

'In case a solo gets thrown my way' Rachel, what the hell are you talking about; you've been doing the solos for 3 years, and almost every time Will tries to give one to someone else, you threaten to quit, or you thrown a temper tantrum. God, I hate Rachel so much.

[natalieconway]

So Tina get's one year of solo's while Rachel gets three? Also making costumes for 12 members is literally a full time job for a seamstress not a student.

[narutoforever]

It's awesome that Tina is standing up for herself and what she wants. I can't believe that Mr. Schue but it's to be expected with him and it's fucked what Rachel and Mike tried to do to her

[kat_]

it's the seniors chance??? Rachel got everything solo ever since season 1 and now Tina wants one cuz she's never gotten one, I don't think that's selfish at all. If I never got solos and people thought it was selfish I would be pissed

[stitchtumbling]

I kinda wanted to slap Rachael when she said, "You know how hard it is to be me?"

[shoulol]

The way Tina was acting was probably the most realistic portrayal of anyone in a similar situation

[careystarbarry]

Isn't she the one who used to stutter? lmao Oh Sue

[rosemenon]

“I was singing “sit down you’re rocking the boat” when Finn and Puck we’re still throwing slushies at us”

That hit me like a train.

[hbzzghe]

“Take a lap and cool down, Asian number 1.”
“My name is Tina. Tina Cohen Chang.”
And that’s on periodt

[fandomislife]

Honestly Tina is so right. They’re saying that “oh your just a junior” and “this is the seniors time to shine” but Rachel has been shining since she was a sophomore. And yeah, she is one of the founding members.
PS- such a shame that after promising us an amazing Tina senior year, they just turned her into a queen bitch

[stephaniel]

This was honestly the point at which the show's treatment of Rachel started becoming my number 1 frustration with it. It's not even Rachel herself as a character- Rachel herself never changed! She was always terrible about hogging the spotlight and thinking she was more talented than everyone else, but at the end of the day had her sweet moments as well. But it was during season 3 that the show went from calling her out on these faults, to having everyone around her get annoyed only to come around and be all "oh, but she works SO HARD, and she's special and one of a kind!!!" And it drove. me. nuts.

It made more sense in season 1, when Rachel WAS ahead of the others, not even in terms of talent but just in terms of the fact that she was so polished and well fitted in her own skin as a performer. So it made sense in season 1 for her to get some solos in competition, because the others were still coming into their own while she could whip out anything and kill it. But by season 3, the others had come into their own as well, and they had JUST as much to offer! And yet Rachel STILL was treated like this untouchable special snowflake who got every single thing she ever wanted. And it only got worse from there, too, with her getting into NYADA after completely choking while Kurt, who gave a GREAT audition, didn't, and then getting a LEAD starring role on Broadway... it just got so ridiculous, and I felt like it was really unfair to minimize the talents of the rest of the show that way. Don't get me wrong, Lea is great, but the whole rest of the cast was really. great. too. And it bothered me that the show would take its time to point out the blatant favoritism toward Rachel, only to then go on and excuse it and though the other characters didn't all work hard too.

/Rachel Berry rant haha

[alexaldana]

rachel doesnt realize that the glee club doesnt belong to her and that being captain of it is only a privilage that could get taken away from her

[alexaldana]

rachels a senior and she still hasnt learned that everything wont go her way and that she wont always get what she wants
