I agree with Ditter and I'd like to add... I heard the show's writer/creator talk about this episode before it aired. She said she'd had the 'characters singing' idea for quite awhile but was waiting for the right storyline to be able to pull it off. The actors who sang, pre-recorded their singing in a recording studio which probably explains the 'non-sync' of some songs.
And like someone mentioned they were trying something new & different. Callie's first name is Calliope which refers to music which is how they worked the aspect of her relating to the situation thru the singing/music.
It was nice to actually understand some of the lyrics to the songs. ABC website had an interesting segment regarding the show.
Of course this is just MHO.
