Okay. I have to admit something.
I have always been fascinated by anything musical. I mean good music. I won’t lie, I love songs and I love watching musicals.
I am not a fan of High School Musical because I feel it’s too childish and cheesy, so to say I am hooked on Glee is to say otherwise (I think Glee is nothing like HSM though. Yes, the leading guy in Glee isn’t the best of singers but the girl is!). I just love how they make a story out of outcasts in school. I’m sure at some points in our life we have felt like an outcast too. I was nowhere in popular group (although some of my friends were) at school, so I could relate to the idea of being criticized and have low self esteem.
I love Glee because they sing songs that I know, like, and songs from musical too (as I have mentioned, I love musicals), in contrast to HSM where they sing their own songs (okay, more original) but not favorable to me. Some people might say aren’t you too old for these stuff? Well, music never ages so I still think it’s still okay to drool over people talents (and good looks). Some of the casts are older than me so it’s still a green light to have crush on them!
Everyone has their own favorite series (be it Friends, How I Met Your Mother, House etc) and for me I might find one and as corny as people might say it (again, in defense, Glee is a sarcastic and dark humor comedy too!), Glee is the perfect fit for me (for the moment). I hope they keep the good songs coming!
P/S: Sometimes, you just want to break free and breathe a little.
