Many “American Idol” winners and runners-up are compromised by underwhelming pop tunes that are hastily waxed to cash in on postseason hubris—a lesson that isn’t lost on gravelly voiced Season Nine winner, Lee DeWyze, whose first studio album, 2010’s “Live It Up,” hardly lived up to his followers’ expectations.

However, we were glad that we caught its recent episode in which Chris Colfer and Lea Michele’s characters figured in a musical “duel,” with both of them essaying the moving song from “Les Miserables,” “Bring Him Home.”

After three successful years on the tube, the “young musical” TV show, “Glee,” has opted not to conclude its storytelling at its peak, but to go for yet another season, with some of its resident characters graduating from high school and dealing with “real” life in college or at the workplace.

Lea Michele and Darren Criss sounded and looked good together singing Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” one recent morning at the “Glee” auditorium on stage 16 of the Paramount Studios lot.
Diverse young talents enthusiastically compete in the second season of reality contest “The Glee Project,” all vying for a multi-episode appearance on the hit drama-musical series “Glee.”
RIGHT after our piece on comedy on TV (“Laughing All the Way to the Bank”) came out last month comes confirmatory word from the States that the NBC network is mightily striving to attract more viewers by unveiling as many as 10 comedy series this season.
On its third season, “Glee” has lost some of the ability to surprise and provoke that made it an exciting treat for viewers in its first year. It’s also become embarrassingly obvious that some of its original cast members have become way too old to pass for high-school students. It is high time they moved out of the campus and into the real world of adults, where they properly belong.
If the cast members of “Glee” warmed your hearts last Christmas with their spirited renditions of “We Need A Little Christmas,” “Deck The Rooftop” and “Merry Christmas, Darling,” they’ll keep you singing along with the release of “Glee: The Christmas Album, Vol. 2.”
