If you don't know what Glee is, you must be living under a rock. Glee is a show about high schoolers that join a glee club. Every week they perform different songs, all of which are past or present singles. Then, the songs are sold on all online retailers.
Now, I don't think the plot of the show is bad at all. In fact, I enjoy it. Here's my probably, the merchandising. No other show sells as much crap as this show. And yes, the songs they're selling on iTunes are pure crap. The original singers worked their assess off to make their song a hit and then the Glee kids swoop down and effortlessly record a version of the song and BAM, a hit. They sell different "volumes" of these hits in the stores. So let recap. School kids singing popular songs and releasing edited versions in compilation albums. Wasn't that the idea behind Kidz Bop?
Now Glee has a 3D concert coming to movie cinemas. I had no problem with the Hannah Montana or Jonas Brother concerts in cinemas. Little kids actually wanted to go to their concerts but couldn't because the tickets went faster than swine flu vaccines. But the Glee concert isn't really selling like these concerts, and if you want to see these kids perform on screen you can just flip to Fox.
I know all popular shows make merchandise, but Glee is out of control. To make matters worse, a lot of fans of the first season think the show "sold out" during the second season. You're shooting yourself in the shoot Glee, and I'll be glad when you crumble.
