Van Gogh Yourself: A Glee Review

If you watch glee you know that one Cory Moneith plays Finn Hudson on the show. If you watch glee you are also painfully aware that he is the worst singer on the show hands down! Why he is cast as the protagonist male and main lead singer of a singing show when he is not a good singer is beyond me. His voice is decent but he doesn’t sing well and is auto-tuned more than T-pain most of the time (who hasn’t been in love with a stripper). Let’s not even start about his dancing. Ok, let’s talk about his dancing now! I have seen more rhythm on headless chickens and that torso guy from the Jerry Springer Show, you know that guy who always freaks you out when you see him on screen - he is creepy! and how does he go to the bathroom? so many questions, so little answers.  His lack of dance skill is evident with dancers like Heather Morris, who plays Britney S Pierce, and Harry Shum Jr., that asian guy. He is not the most attractive male on the show either; Mark Salling, Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman, and Chord Overstreet, Sam Evans, have a much greater appeal. Cory Monteith is just that much above average to be acceptable and mainstream likable. Listening to him sing is frustrating to me and makes me want to Van Gogh myself at times and makes me envious of Phil Stevens, you know that guy in Scream 2 who gets killed in the bathroom stall with a knife to the ear while Jada Pinkett-Smith is eating popcorn.

Chris Colfer, Kurt Hummel, has talent as a signer but it’s frustrating buying new glassware on the episodes where he sings with those damn high notes, who hits him in the nuts before each take – that would be a fun job – oh he actually can hit those notes, damn.

Kevin McHale, Artie Abrams, is a good singer and is entertaining on the show. I remember him from his boy band days, anyone else? Does that make me cool or a loser? I chose the former. He was in a boy band call N.L.T. that was never popular but could have been. They had a track produced by Timbaland, that’s something; it was called "She Said, I Said (Time We Let Go)".

Lea Michelle, Rachael Berry, obviously has talent but is over utilized on the show.  Amber Riley, Mercedes Jones, is probably my favorite singer on the show and clearly has a great voice – shameful that they use her mainly to scream at the end of songs. Jenna Ushkowitz, Tina Cohen-Chang, also has a nice voice.

So pretty much the only one I don’t like to hear sing is Cory Monteith.

P.S. Ashley Fink, Lauren Zizes, is an awesome character. “you just got zized!”
