Clare Henney: The Glee Project Season 2 — What now?

Last month the winner of The Glee Project Season 2 was announced and welcomed into the Glee family. Blake Jenner impressed the judges/mentors from the start and by the end of the show people were saying that he is a star, which was exactly what they all thought the show needed. Blake is not as talented a singer as the two other finalists Aylin and Ali but even I have to admit that he does have that certain something that makes him stand out. He just exudes passion in the tasks that are given to him and he manages to do them with ease comparing to the other two. I think that this guy has a lot of pressure going into the show considering that people think that he’s a star. That just means that people will be expecting a lot from him when he starts on the show. I hope that he lives up to the hype and that he doesn’t let the whole “star” thing get to his head. I do think this is someone who can go a long way as an actor but that’s if he doesn’t mess things up for himself with an ego or succumbing to pressure.

It’s too bad that Aylin and Ali didn’t win or given small parts in the show. They would have been good even for just one or two episodes the way Alex and Lindsay were. From what I’ve seen of the new season previews, Alex might become a regular part of the show as one of the new members of the New Directions. Good for him. I hope that Damian is still in the new season considering the last one had him going back to Ireland.

I hope I get to see Aylin and Ali in other projects in the future (or maybe even on Glee). They’re both talented and it would be a shame if they didn’t get to do anything else after The Glee Project. With the new season of Glee coming up, I can’t wait to see how everything will be shaken up with the graduation of a majority of the members of the original cast and who the new faces will be. I may not be the type who watches the show religiously, but I do enjoy it from time to time. I’d love to see how far this show goes.
