Who watched Fox's Glee? Who had difficulty getting over Glee songs playing in your head over and over 'til you got the next dose in the next episode? God, I swear I couldn't take my head off 'Bust Your Windows'. It's the main reason I got hooked.
Aside from the Glee songs that are so engaging, the cast also did an excellent job on the show. There's a thin line between realistic and theatrical but it really worked. The characters and their roles are quite stereotypical but they made it look like it's non-cliche.
Just a few notes:
Rachel Berry (Lea Michele): I have to say she's annoying. Haha! There's just something about her mouth... and I know it's about her being dramatic that does it. She's misunderstood, at the bottom of the highschool food chain, but she dreams to be a star. She's so willful, it's viral. And she got a good singing voice, too.
Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith): sucks at dancing. He looks awkward. Maybe he's quite tall? ("freakishly tall") But, he's got that good-boy looks that fits the character. His difference from Puck made the love triangle interesting. [I forgot to add: I can't forget Finn's twitching toes as he sang 'I Can't Fight this Feeling' in the shower.]
Quinn Fabray's (Dianna Agron) pregnant tummy didn't get really big despite focus shots. And can someone explain why she was jumping on the mattresses while she's a few months pregnant? Other than that, admit it, she's really cute.
The rest of the cast like Artie, Tina, Mercedes, Kurt, Mr. Schu, Sue (oh, did we hate her?) , Emma and Ken are so adorable. Each has their own distinct personalities. Because of this, nobody - at least to me - really outshone the others despite bigger roles given to Rachel, Finn and Mr. Schuester. Each represents something different and each has his/her time to shine.
Will Emma and Mr. Schuester work? Will there be a chance for Rachel and Finn now that Finn's mad with Quinn and Puck? Will there be a second chance for Artie and Tina? Will there be love for Mercedes and Kurt? Glee Season 2 is coming this year - bigger and longer. Fox said it's going to add more episodes to it.
Stay tuned because GLEE's coming!!
