Okay, having now gone and Googled Glee, I think I can safely say that this sounds like my cup of tea AND a bag of chips.
Y'know. Not that I wander round singing show tunes all day at work, or anything. No siree.

Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Both episodes of Glee that I've caught have provided next to nothing in the way of plots/characterization for the minority cast. They don't get leads in the songs, they get a moment or two, like when the gay guy gets thrown in a dumpster.
Especially clearly when the actors clearly have the vocal talent to take the lead in any of the singing -- why wouldn't the teacher leading the glee choir give them material to showcase their showstopping talents?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I liked the pilot episode much more than the 2nd ep. I'm holding my breath for the 3rd ep. The 2nd ep was too overproduced and too much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I like Glee well enough, but I think they've done way too much tweaking to the kids' voices.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Huh, the only vocal tweaking i noticed was the football player at the beginning of "don't stop believing"... But i may also be too in love with the wide eyed germaphobic guidance counselor to have noticed much except her and hot mr teacher's shoulders. Oh yeah, take that jacket off every episode!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, but apparently our coasts are watching at different times.
