Glee indeed...

Last night after the last performance show of American Idol (I thought Kris Allen did great, but Screamy McScreamerson is sure to take the crown tonight), I watched the preview episode of Glee. The comedy set to premiere this fall is about a group of misfits at a Nowhereville, Ohio high school who find their niche in the school's Glee Club. Not exactly the premise you'd expect from the creators of Nip/Tuck.

It has a great ensemble cast including Jane Lynch as a scathing cheerleading coach, and Lea Michele, the young lead female singer, has a wonderful voice and reminds me so much of Idina Menzel it's distracting.

I literally couldn't stop smiling for five minutes after it ended, and I immediately downloaded the cast's performance of "Don't Stop Believin'". If anyone knows of a stage choir that needs a mezzo alto, give them my number.

Consider yourself Glee-ked. : )
