All the Single Ladies

The Cast of Glee

The wonder that is “Glee” has hit our shores finally.  Who knew that it would be such a delight?  The UK imports some US shows when they failed miserably in the US and runs them on obscure channels at odd hours to fill a gap in the schedule.  I assumed that is what “Glee” would be.  Well, “Glee” is on an obscure channel but it’s creating a quiet firestorm over here and I understand it’s quite the hit in the US as well.  Of course, we’re always a tick behind on these things.

When I was in school in the US, we had “Show Choir” in our school (Glee Club is a rather old-fashioned, throw-back term).  They were not the total “geeks” of the school but they certainly weren’t the most popular.  I think had they been doing the sort of routines that the Glee Club in “Glee” are doing, a LOT more people would have joined.  My brother was a member of Show Choir…he managed to “mime” his way through a few years of it in fact.  I have yet to ever hear my brother SING anything!  I think he was in it for the girls.

I watched last night’s episode, “Preggers” and was hysterical with laughter over the football team’s rendition of Beyonce’s “All the Single Ladies”.  The fact that my hubby was as well says a lot.  I think I would watch a lot more (American) football (or any football for that matter) if the team suddenly burst into choreographed dance numbers before running a play.  This is my new Happiness!  Enjoy the glory that is “Glee”…

Perhaps I need to challenge bloggers to do their own rendition of “All the Single Ladies”…well, perhaps not.  I know if I did it, I’d be wearing my tiara for sure!
