Music is the vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm. It’s a universal language but it speaks to us all in a different way. I, myself, am eclectic but if you had told me a month a go I would be watching a show that features Bon Jovi and Usher in the same song I would have laughed. That was, of course, until I discovered Glee. It’s a musical sitcom that evolves around the lives of eight high school students.

        The show is a quirky mix of drama - from pregnant teens, to affairs and lies – and comedy – ‘germaphobic’ counselors and dancing football teams – that keeps people watching. The story line is fun and easy to follow, allowing viewers to join in on Glee Mania at any time. Glee has an array of different characters who make the show fun to watch and easy to relate too, not to mention it takes advantage of the newest  musical obsession that started with High School Musical and older musicals such as Rent and Hairspray.

        The most unique thing about the show is, of course, its music. The talented young cast performs all different types of songs. The first few episodes featured songs by Bon Jovi, Beyonce, Kanye West, Jordon Sparks, Carrie Underwood and Queen. Upcoming episodes will include icons like Neil Diamond and Billy Idol. The songs themselves had been climbing up the itunes charts with more than 1.1 million downloads. Glee is the type of the show where you can’t help but  sing along. The “Gleek” population is getting larger every week and FOX’s new show is sure to be a hit for seasons to come.
