5 Changes Glee Should Make

By Dene Walker /

1. Songs - Less is More

I€™m sorry but 7 / 8+ songs per episode is ridiculous. More often than not, now, it seems they€™re singing non-stop! It€™s hard to believe that some episodes in Season One only had three, four songs. There is no need for pointless, filler, Top-40 songs in every episode. I don€™t want to here Bruno Mars and Pink all the time, unless one of their songs actually fits into the storyline. But seriously, why do we want to hear songs that are already in the charts? Part of Glee€™s original charm was that it took old, forgotten songs and revitalised them. Remember Journey? The Top-40 covers are usually the worst and don€™t suit a show choir arrangement. I agree with what Will said to Jacob Ben Israel in the Season Two premiere: €˜25% Showtunes, 25% Hip Hop, 25% Classic Rock€™ and I suppose that last 25% (that Jacob never let Will reveal) would be Pop / Top-40.
