Get Ready to be Glee-ful!
Yes, I am going to be a ‘Gleek’. I work in IT, I can already be classified as a geek.. but after a single episode of Glee – I am a gleek. A fully fledged fan. And yes, a musical tv show that encourages the ‘Glee’ club of a high school, featuring a Breakfast Club-esque melange of characters can make it big with a preview episode. Two songs from the episode already feature on iTunes and I can’t stop singing along. With a cast featuring Cory Monteith (as the jock who can sing – doesn’t that sound like Zac Efron’s character in High School Musical..) Lea Michele as the musical/glee club superstar looking for her leading man, Matthew Morrison as the encouraging teacher, its the feel good musical comedy that will brighten up everyone’s days. Who needs another CSI? Who needs another Law & Order?
The first episode introduced us to Cory Monteith (formerly from Kyle XY) as Finn, being discovered singing in the shower to Can’t Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon. Its fantastic! Then the first of the songs featured on ITunes is a competing Glee club singing Rehab by Amy Winehouse. Its a joyous cover, and a must watch here and then the finale song that proves the Glee club of dysfunctionally memorable characters are going to be a hit – Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey. Check it out here if you know what’s good for you!
Officially, it premieres in the U.S on September 9th, and for Australians, we only have to wait til September 17th! (Believe me, that’s pretty instant for us) I certainly can’t wait, and its sure to be another water-cooler tv show that will be joyous to watch, and a highlight of any week.
