Show Glee about Glee Phillip Fairbrother Arts Reporter I Everyone has felt like a loser at some point in their life So why not sing and dance about it t The new television show Glee is about just that A variety of freaks and even evena a few popular kids dancing and singing through their problems in their high schools school's new glee club Cashing in on the recent popularity of the High School Musical movies Glee is the story of high school teacher teacher and and former fonner glee star Will Matthew Morrison and his hie tag rac-tag tap rap group of U 0 00 0 co students The students cover just about every racial sexual and social stereotype anyone could come up with Ranging from the head cheerleader Quinn Dianna Agron and quarterback Finn Hudson Cory Monteith to wheel chair bound geek Artie Abrams Kevin evin McHale and the overly flamboyant gay kid Kurt Hummel Chris Colfer Golfer each episode is riddled with all sorts of teen drama That drama is covered up with some fantastic comedic writing and covers of popular songs by the entire Glee cast I T R view Its It's not all about the kids though and his over dramatic wife Jessalyn have ave their own storylines to add to the mix Add to that the obsessive compulsive guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury ry Jayma Mays and football coach Ken Patrick Gallagher and you'll find even even- more wacky sub The greatest performance to emerge from this awesome cast comes from Jane Lynch who plays the tyrannical cheerleading coach cach Sue Sylvester Sue is the main antagonist throughout the show and will stop at nothing to get the glee club disbanded simply because its it's something that she doesn't understand or control That and the fact that its it's taking funding away from her cheerleading budget Lynchs Lynch's performance is definitely a driving force for the show Between her fantastically pan dead-pan character and some well written one-liners one she adds just the write flavor to an already talented cast My only complaint about Glee is that its it's a little episodic It may be bea a different cast member but every week we know th that t someone is is' going to try to quit glee club for forone forone forone one reason or another And yeah its it's a show about high school but one of these days audiences will realize weve we've been watching the same high school drama since the invention of television Possibly the most obnoxious trait that each episode so far has had is the weekly moral making Glee feel a little bit like an after school special Over all Glee is able to soar about these thes idiosyncrasies and it is generally a very entertaining way to spend an hour The cast interacts well and there really are no weak links The cast is also chockfull chockfull chockfull chock- chock full of musical talent The audience audien e can expect one or two new musical numbers every week Some noteworthy performances so far have been Journeys Journey's Dont Stop Believing Avril Lavigne's Keep Holding On West's Gold Digger and a great mash up of Bon Jovis Jovi's Its My Life and Ushers Usher's Confessions The tracks are also available on I Glee airs Wednesday nights on Fox Dianna y racial sexual and social stereotype |
