Drama+Music

Start warming-up your vocal cords and going over your high school drama, I'm about to talk to you about GLEE.  The phenomenal musical TV series that stole the hearts of thousands of people, including myself, is now on it's third season, and I have some opinions to share. My sister and I have spent the last two days re-watching the second season. And it has evoked some of my emotions about the show.I absolutely love love love GLEE! And any fellow Gleeks will agree that it is a monumental show, exploring new horizons of TV as we know it.

I loved season one, with the classic high school problems and oldies music, I was smitten from the beginning. The characters had me on an emotional roller coaster, I could feel their happiness and excitement as well as their pain and sorrow. The songs were always perfect for the occasion and really reached out to the audience. Season two was just as powerful. With the introduction to new characters and new plot lines, but still holding true to it's entertaining ways, the show continued to hold my heart. It had more diverse songs and scenarios presented all throughout the year and I might have liked it even better than the first. I would be lying if I said GLEE has not made me cry a few times.

Now, we are a few episodes into season three and I'm not sure what to think. On one hand, I'm still uber excited about Tuesday nights that it comes on. The plot has exploded and is still extremely entertaining. I loved the new style Quinn had for a while, and that she's trying to have a relationship with her baby. I love that Idina Menzel is back. I love that Pillsbury and Schuester are finally a couple. I love that Brittany and Santana are sort of together and the Blaine and Kurt are at Mckinley. I'll be honest and admit that I'm even digging this Irish foreign kid. But, on the other hand, the songs so far this season. Uh. The songs. I've liked some of them, sure. But overall and in comparison to the past, I've yet to be moved by them. I'm basically bored with them, they don't capture my soul anymore. Of course, it's still early in the season, and there will be plenty more to come, but I'm sort of disappointed in the selections so far... And I really miss Sam and Lauren being in the show choir, they made me happy...

Nonetheless, I still do love GLEE. I hope it gets better song wise, but other than that it's still good. I love GLEE because, for one, I love musicals. And GLEE is like an weekly hour long musical, which is incredible. And second of all, GLEE presents real life problems to the viewers and displays real life ways to overcome them. I like that I can relate to several characters. GLEE is like a less sappy version of Degrassi, plus music. And even when I don't really know where the plot is going, like what is going to happen after this season when the majority of the characters are suppose to graduate, I get a kick out of watching it. (OMG, I JUST REALIZED THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, LIKE EVER, THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF A SHOW I LIKE ARE IN MY GRADE/ARE "MY AGE." EEEEEE!!!)

Uhh, yeah!
