Yankeefan, I understand and respect your argument, for we have to realize this show is a major inspiration for young performers, I'm not saying they should give them false hope, but they need to encourage them to persue their dreams. Artists in today's society are largely neglected, and having a show like Glee celebrating us, is really quite meaningful. It's absolutely true that not everyone gets where they want to be, that's why they didn't get in the first place because that would've given false impressions.
Spork. Are you watching the current season of Glee? If you were you would see that they certainly pay a lot of attention to Broadway in the NYC storyline. Glee is known to replicate memorable moments in musical theatre history, mainly filmed musicals because that's what most of the audience would have access to. Although there are still some strictly broadway replicated numebers like The Boy from Oz. It also sometimes gives new twists to Broadway Classics like Rose's Turn and As if we never said goodbye. Smash is my second favorite show on television.
Kad, were not exactly starved for role models for there sure aren't a lot of great ones available, or would you rather young performers idolize Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry.
I'm not saying she inspires EVRYONE who watches the show, maybe only the hardcore Gleeks like myself.
