My Life & Everything Else

What do you think of Glee, the Fox hit tv show? I think it is a great show that seemingly caught everyone by surprise that it would become a hit. Even Simon Cowell had to agree.

I read this article in CNN and according to Digital Spy, X Factor creator Simon Cowell says the hit Fox show about a high school show choir helped inspire him to bring his British show stateside.

“If somebody said to me five years ago that one of the biggest pop stars or groups in the world was going to be a glee club, I never would’ve believed it,” Cowell said. “What they’ve done with ‘Glee,’ I believe, is that they’ve broken away all boundaries; all shapes, all sizes all mixed together, but it just works.”

On “Glee,” it’s all about the talent, and each glee club character is an individual with different styles. The success of the show speaks volumes, Cowell said.

“It kind of goes against record company thinking… because they like to think in terms of everything’s gotta be perfection,” he said. “But ‘Glee’ changed the rules and that’s part of the reason we are making this show. To prove that actually you shouldn’t have rules for talent…It should be, if you’re talented or if you’re different, you should have a chance to succeed along with anyone else.”

Do you think he is right? Share your thoughts.
