I love... Glee

Yes, that's right, I am a Gleek! Well sort of. I enjoy the show and occasionally relive the songs on You Tube! Well maybe more than "occasionally", maybe closers to after every show! I actually almost saw the cast while on holiday in NYC last year. I saw fellow Gleeks waiting (not so patiently) at the back door of a theatre where the Glee cast had been performing a live show, waiting on the cast coming out. I didn't see them, however, as my friends (not being Glee fans) where not willing to wait with me, and I didn't really fancy waiting around in a back alley in New York by myself. Oh well... maybe some other time.

What I love about the show, that no other show does quite as well,  is that every episode is always fun, but at the same time has an underlying message that makes us all think. I suppose it teaches us (or reminds us) about the moral lessons we learnt at school, such as; that friends and family are important, that lying is wrong, that cheating doesn't get us anywhere, and that we are all unique in our own individual way and we should be proud of that.

I love almost every song they sing, but one of my favourite songs/performances of the 2 seasons so far (remembering that I live in the UK so I am a bit behind those of you in America) was when Kurt sang the Beatles song "I wanna hold your hand". This song had me in tears.


Another of my favourite performances was from season 1, when the whole football team sang Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)". This song had me in tears as well, but unlike the last video, I was in tears due to laughing to much. This performance was genius!


What do you think of the show? I would love to hear what your favourite songs are so that I could relive the moments... again!
