Are You A Gleek?

After much deliberation, we finally watched Glee.

For those who don't know what this is, it's the US TV sensation about a High School choir, or Glee Club as they call it over there.

I wondered if it might be just too High School Musical and full of young love and showtunes. Well it is full of young love and the odd showtune, but it's more like The X Factor meets Election and it's great. Jane Lynch as the gym teacher is fearsome and the Matthew Morrison who plays the guy whose job it is to turn the Glee Club around is really good too. I urge you to give it a go. I hate to use the word, but it really is a feelgood show.

One song that popped up in the first ep was Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. This song is suddenly all the rage and it's got Glee to thank for it. It appeared in the show, then on American Idol then The X Factor and consequently it's shot up the charts, 27 years after being released. I remember it as a Radio Luxembourg Powerplay and have loved it since.

Here's the Glee cast puttin' on a show with said number. It works so much better as a duet.
