GLEE




Glee is a musical American TV series aired on Fox in USA.  It focuses on McKinley High School students, especially on its choir, called New Directions, and the singing competitions they join in.
What are the show’s strong points?


   1.       It focuses on teenagers (15-18 years old) their relationships, sexuality and social issues.
   2.       It has amazing versions of well known songs of all times, from The Beatles to Lady Gaga.
   3.       All songs are performed and danced by the teenagers and/or their teachers.
   4.       You can find tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, ugly, gay, straight, disable and “able” students. Thus, it
         avoids discrimination and stereotypes.
   5.       And last but not least, it is a good way to improve your listening skills while having fun!

Have a look at the following cover songs from the show…

                         It's Not Unusual

                          Born This Way


                       Soul Sisters

                                Valerie

                  Imagine (with deaf people's choir)

  6. Thanks to all of you for your comments. I am glad the show is still quite popular in Spain although it has not been given much publicity.
    I would recommend it especially to teens due to the topics they deal with (although some adult sensible females can enjoy it as well ;) )
    Melanie, it really sad that “Sálvame” is still on (well, it’s incredible that someone once thought of airing such a programme…) I am glad you're a fan of Glee. Can you sing? If so, I can imagine you as the next Rachel Berry! ;)
