I don’t write about casting news before and this is going to be a first. But hey, there’s always a first to everything and since I did write Glee recaps last season, I decided this would be quite apt.
So, there are news floating around that my favourite American Idol alumni, Adam Lambert, is joining Glee next season. Ryan Murphy, the show’s creator, tweeted the news earlier and Adam did acknowledge it by re-tweeting the tweet with his own message: “I’m so excited!! ;)” But the character he will be playing or whether it will be for the whole season or just a brief role like another American Idol alumni, Jessica Sanchez, is currently unknown.
What do I think about it? Well, I do love Adam and I did want Glee to do a cover of his songs. But until I know what his character will be and how long he will be in the show, I am a little bit apprehensive about it. Years ago, I would readily admit I am a “Gleek”. But now, not so much. It is like watching a trainwreck of a show with so many guest stars and new characters that viewers generally do not care for. And honestly, unless he has nothing to do with Rachel Berry, I will be absolutely pissed. But for now, I have no idea what his role would be and can only hope that I won’t throw my precious laptop down from my fourth storey flat.
Love it or hate it? I am happy for Adam but let’s see.
