Gleeinvention


Over the weekend, I rediscovered my Glee fever. I had looked it up, just out of interest, because I hadn’t looked at it in a while. I was really surprised when I saw that Damian McGinty was on the show. I have listened to him in the group he sang in before he was on Glee, Celtic Thunder. When I did some research, I found out that he left the group L so that he could do a show called The Glee Project. According to the Internet, he won that show, and got onto Glee. This sparked my interest in the show again, and I checked Netflix to see if there were any new episodes. I was happy to discover that both season one and season two are available on Netflix.
So far, so good.
As I started to watch season 2, I was annoyed. All the characters that seemed so great in the first season had become repetitive and ridiculous. And now that I’ve started watching season 3, I’ve realized that they have to add a truckload of new characters to keep it going in future seasons, now that almost all of the characters are set to graduate. That won’t end well!
There is one good thing about all these new characters: They come with new voices.

Lately, Glee’s musical arrangement has become really cliché. It always seems to involve one person belting out the latest chart-topper, with other characters swaying and singing nonsensically in the background. There also seems to be a trend in the characters who get solos, but at least that is addressed in the show. Hopefully, Glee will get its act together in coming seasons.
Sorry it’s been so long,
