Glee

G'day blog world!
This week, I had an epiphany that I haven't discussed the popularity of the Fox TV show, Glee. Therefore, I will discuss it today. First off, Glee, despite what the majority of the adult population thinks, is an amazing TV show. There are a few adults that like Glee, but mostly, obviously, it's teens. "Teenagers" star in this high school glee club TV show (the "teen" actors are mostly in their 20s-30s), and they show the truth about your everyday public high school. Now, I don't have the experience they do, since I go to a Private high school, but I do have friends experiencing the same events the Glee kids share on TV. This is what really makes the show so popular, the connection to the audience.

Secondly, you have to admit, their voices aren't half bad. Rachel Berry has the voice of an angel, despite how annoying her character is, and it is just amplified with the incredible talent of all the other characters. I actually don't think Rachel should be considered the main star, but she does have the best voice. As a matter of fact, I think Will Schuester (the teacher) is the main character, as he keeps the Glee club going strong. Also, the "not-so-bright" blonde teenager, Brittany, was going to dance as a background dancer for Brittany Spears if she was not in Glee. That just adds to the fact that all the stars are amazing.

Finally, the fact that Glee has a different "theme" each week, given as an assignment by Will, creates high expectations of the TV viewers to guess the upcoming week's theme. So far, they've had great themes, showcasing the top hits in music today and in history. I personally think the one they've majorly missed out on and need to do is a "Rap" week. Personally, I hate Rap. The absolute only Rap singer I like is Eminem (some hip-hop is different), but watching these Glee kids go all "gangstah" would be hilarious and get huge ratings. That's just my opinion, but it has some promise.

In conclusion, Glee is an amazing TV show full of incredibly talented actors and actresses who connect strongly to the TV viewers. Each theme showcases the popular hits in music, making it even more popular (since the audience can sing along easily). Therefore, Glee is the next big thing on television when it comes to music, and I hope it continues to do well (since I'm such a huge fan :))

Eat, breathe, and live music...
