Glee? Don't think so...
I've done 3 episodes of the new phenom and I reckon thats enough for now
I've shrugged off the excitable C4 promotion and found a way to move past the '5 tracks in the Top 75' thing. I am also honestly not affected by the fact that the music is based around more mushy versions of the same X-Factor friendly oeuvre or that it is so patently pleased with itself. Also the reviewers who are saying 'its great' quoting their favourite line by the female Coach ('my favourite character!!!!'..noone else's....) have not influenced my decision. And really the light predictable plots and slightly creepy sexual tones haven't played a big part.
No,its the incidental music.
I couldn't really deal with Seinfeld because of that annoying 'bow-be-be-bow-bow' bass line everytime SOMETHING FUNNY of even better FUNNY/IRONIC happened - everyone please think this show is great at this point and boy we really are!!!
Same thing here - there were two of them in particular used throughout the show. One was the Swingle Singers type 'barrump-pa-pa' bits and the other was a little sassy soundtrack motif, both saying 'wasn't that great/cute/funny or best of all slightly IRONIC'.
I've had enough. No longer will I be a part of this 'water cooler' moment. I'm off.

I can't think of a single thing the Massive would loathe more
So of course I loved it. It's like The X Factor meets Election. I think the singing's fine - but let's remember they're not meant to be pros.
I found their version of Don't Stop Believin rather moving. So here it is.
..err..but they are pros

The actors are
but they're playing school kids who aren't. Over the course of the series we will see them improve. It's the classic feelgood device.

So will they release another version at the end of the series with better vocals?
Worst quality miming ever, surely
An other wise reasonable programme aimed at 15 year old girls is ruined by the quality of the miming to the musical numbers. Its difficult to know which voices are genuine because they pay so little attention to creating a live illusion. Even the kids from fame managed this better twenty years ago.
I did the first two episodes via the channel four catch up on sunday but wont bother with the rest.
