Straight on the heels of the best-selling Power of Madonna mini-album comes Showstoppers, the music to the second half of Glee’s first season. Now while some people might find Glee filled with cheesy clichés – and let’s be honest, it is – the cast members really know how to sing. Even if you don’t watch… Read More Music Review: Glee, The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers (Deluxe)

These songs all have to do with the assignment Will gives the Glee club members… Read More Music Review: Songs from the Glee Episode “Laryngitis”
Six words to start off this review: Neil Patrick Harris as Bryan Ryan. Wasn’t he great? I do hope his character has a reason to make another appearance on Glee, if only to sing a second duet between his character and Will Schuester. In “Dream On”, Will has to face yet another Glee club enemy,… Read More Music Review: Songs from the Glee Episode “Dream On”

One of the main things that has been bugging me is the fact that the storyline in Glee is treated rather superficially. Hey, I watch Fringe guys – and that show… Read More Music Review: Songs From the Glee Episode “Home”
