Okay, confession time. I am OBSESSED with Glee. Best. Show. Ever.
At the conclusion of the first episode, Justin looked over at me, sighed and said "you want to be in Glee Club, right?". I didn't even need to answer - HELL YES! Singing and dancing? Yup. The awkward, geeky girl and the high school stud? Yup. The teacher who believed in them? Yup. This show is like crack for me.
So there are aspects I don't like. I hated the fake pregnancy thing and have wanted Will to leave Terri since the first episode. I wish all the Glee Club kids loved each other, I get jack of Rachel being a pain and the other kids loathing her. I hated that Emma was going to marry Ken. I can't stand what Rachel wears. Most of all though...I hate the ads. TOO MANY! I wait all week for this show and feels like it rushes by in ten minutes.
So what do I LOVE about Glee? Finn (Hubba. The scene where he was singing to the sonogram I bawled like a baby). Rachel's voice. Archie (he's kinda cute and sexy at the same time and I flip when he sings). Kurt and his bitchy little ways. Mr Shue and his passion for Glee Club. SUE SYLVESTER and her one liners ("You're on the Sue Slyvester Express and the destination is HORROR"). The sexual tension between Finn and Rachel. Puck when he's being sweet (hate the sexy try hard Puck persona). Quinn when she's being nice. And, oh.....EVERY SINGLE SONG AND DANCE ROUTINE (well, bar a few. Loathed Quinn's 'Keep Me Hangin' On', not a huge fan of 'True Colours' and thought the sectionals performance was nothing special compared to 'Keep Holding On' and 'Somebody To Love').
Most of all, I love that Glee reminds me of being in high school. I was one of those geeky music kids. I did the school production every year and it was my passion. I sang in the Soul Band (okay, okay, sometimes I was forced to mime, the high notes aren't my forte). I experienced the highs of performance, the ridicule of my peers and the amazing dedication of staff. And yes - I experineced the cat fights, hysterics, love triangles and other teenage melodramas associated with production and band. Wouldn't change any of that for the world - my best memories of high school are centred around those 'geeky' co-curricular activities.
So there's only one thing left to add - what am I supposed to do now that Glee doesn't return until April? GAH!!!!
I'm with you!! I LOVE it too. Why did the series have to end tonight?????
