glee

So I have a nasty little secret…okay not really nasty and not really secret but I LOVE ‘Glee’. I can’t help myself. Normally I don’t watch comedies and tend to reserve tv time for things more like Fringe, Lost and Flashforward, but Glee is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. Maybe it has something to do with the amazing music. I am a sucker for a good musical. Too many times I have cleaned the house with the soundtrack of Wicked, Rent, Phantom Of The Opera or Hairspray turned way too loud. Now I get to add Glee to that mix. Each week they release songs from the show and these are just great tracks!

Another great thing about Glee is the humor. It is so awkwardly funny that you can’t help but cringe and bust out laughing at the same time. Each cast member was cast so perfectly — it really is like they are just a high school glee club that is learning to work together.

In case you have been living under a rock and not sure what glee is here is a quick break summary / break down:

The series follows an optimistic teacher, WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison), who – against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach – attempts to save McKinley High’s Glee Club from obscurity, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential. It’s a tall order when the brightest stars of the group include KURT (Chris Colfer), a soprano who hits a high note in fashion; MERCEDES (Amber Riley), a larger-than-life diva with a voice to match; ARTIE (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist who rocks and rolls; and TINA (Jenna Ushkowitz), a punk rocker who hides behind her stutter and blue hair extensions.

Will’s only hope lies with two true talents: RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michele), a self-proclaimed star who is convinced that MySpace and show choir and are her tickets to fame; and FINN HUDSON (Cory Monteith), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks who must protect his reputation from his holier-than-thou girlfriend and “Cheerios” head cheerleader, QUINN (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant football teammate, PUCK (Mark Salling).

Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make Glee great again, but his only ally is fellow teacher and germaphobe EMMA PILLSBURY (Jayma Mays). Everyone else around him thinks he’s nuts – from his tough-as-nails wife TERRI SCHUESTER (Jessalyn Gilsig) to McKinley’s scheming cheerleading coach SUE SYLVESTER (Jane Lynch) – but he’s out to prove them wrong.

Really that does not do the show justice. Here are a few of my favorite highlights:

  • Slushies in the face
  • Celibacy club president/head cheerleader is pregnant
  • Will’s wife is faking a pregnancy and trying to get head cheerleaders baby
  • Great music
  • Emma is a major germaphobe…break out the gloves
  • Put a ring on it on the football field
  • Great music
  • Kurt and his dad
  • Finn being such a good guy
  • OTC medicine
  • Sue
  • Oh yeah…. great music

Now see if you had been watching the show you would have been smiling while reading those. Do yourself a favor and watch Glee — TONIGHT on Fox or check it out on Hulu.

A crazy sample of the music you will here:

This made me love this song more than the original Journey version!

When the most awesome Kristin Chenoweth was on Glee.
