Thread: I just watched Glee...

...for the past 15-minutes (never seen it) and I feel twenty IQ points dumber for the experience.

I have only watched the first episodes this season since it was talked about so much last season I was interested to see what all the hype was about. I do not know how to classify the show yet, is it a teenage soap musical comedy?

Mike, I think you summed up the show when you mentioned it was a, "teenage soap musical comedy." I too checked it out simply because I wanted to find-out what all the fuss was about. Apparently, there are a log of 13-year old watching television and posting on the Internet.

I like the music they do, not big on the crap in between musical numbers.

I've watched a number of episodes now. My 13 yo daughter is absolutely addicted. My son, who is a seior and in honor choir and jazz ensemble feels it is stupid. He likes some of the songs but gets very aggrevated because they use autotune software a lot. He feels they should have cast actors who could sing in tune instead

Lately, I have been drifting in and out of the room when it is on. The melodrama is just too comic book and the production numbers are not as fun as last year.

BTW, I lover your new avatar. That is the best ribbon one I have seen in some time. It doesn't beat you over the head, but gives a lighter feeling of hope, and it kind of reflects a lot of the feelings we went through with Cindy. Try to live your life with joy, but the cancer is still there and has to be addressed daily.

I started watching after I signed up for hulu. I guess I was naive enough to believe that those actresses and actors could actually sing. I didn't know they used software to fix stuff. LOL! My bad! I liked the Lady Gaga episode they did, I've never listened to her stuff before. I also liked the Britney Spears last week. So far those are the only two I've seen.

Thanks for liking my avatar. I try to find a new one each year for this month.

I would have thought they would have been able to get actors that could sing. Now I know why the vocals sound so strange at times, the autotune still needs some work.

The lead actors are actually incredibly talented vocally - collectively that are the most vocally talented actors ever assembled for a television series.

Not every member of the cast is a superlatively great singer, for sure, but the leads all are.

If they are all such great singers, then why is autotune used so heavily?
