Hot on the Trail
Hot on the trail of Glee’s season finale comes season 2 of The Glee Project. In this reality show, 1,000’s of contestants vie
for a chance to guest star on Glee. The
finalists live and train together as they are mentored by several cast and crew
members of Glee. Each week one of the contestants is eliminated from being in
the running after they film a music video.
This show, unlike all of the other contest programs,
creates friendships. The people bond and apparently come to care for one
another. They are willing to sacrifice a spot in the game to save a friend.
Many of the first season kids still see each other. Two of the guys live
together and two of the girl also share an apartment. It’s just amazing.
Season 2 starts on June 5th. However, on
Hulu.com, you can watch the episode showing the 14 finalists chosen.
Originally, there were supposed to be only 12, but there was too much talent
not to choose 2 more. That’s OK.
A lot of things happen in the first few minutes of
the program. Robert Ulrich starts off by letting the audience in on the process
of picking the special ones. He
described in detail everything that he went through with choosing who he
thought was special enough to stand before Ryan Murphy and perform. It was very
cool to see what a casting director does. People outside of Hollywood don’t
always get to see that. We see bits and pieces of the online submissions as
well as the open calls. However, whoever edited the show cut out the bad bits.
We only see images of what could’ve been bad performances.
And then, after 5 or so minutes of showing clips, we
get down to business and see many of the auditions as well as hear the
potential competitors stories. After seeing so many auditions, we see the final
80,then the final 30, and finally we meet our 14 contestants. All of them are
excellent – they have a wondrous look and sound. They all have different
backgrounds that would add so much to the show. As I said last season, why
can’t all of the contestants get a spot on the show? They’re all that good.
You can watch it here: Glee Project season 2. I hope you enjoy it! I know I did!
