I was musical queen growing up. Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, Pied Piper– I was cast as the lead in them all because I was obsessed with the idea of life being a stage. My headspace was filled with Broadway shows with myself as the leading role, which made for some awkward moments, considering I’d be popping and jerking and talking to myself in hallways. Obviously popularity wasn’t an issue for me.

So I’m on Hulu, looking for a break, and I come across Glee. I read the corny description, questioned it’s high rating and finally decided to watch the pilot, which resulted in me being pleasantly surprised. It’s brilliant. It’s smart and awkward, and supported by a cast that does the witty script-writers justice on encapsulating the song and dance of the high school struggle (and I mean that literally). Think HSM turned into a sitcom about kids who are trying to make Glee club cool again.

Here’s a clip of taking a cue from my book and acting out on the impulses the script in her head tells her to do. She belts her heart out to Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows” after she literally busts this dude’s car. She apparently can’t tell that no amount of damage is going to make him STRAIGHT again. Sorry, bubs.

Make sure to tune in to FOX this fall and catch Glee. Go to Hulu.com to see the Pilot.
