Television is currently undergoing a bit of a metamorphosis.
And I like it.
It started with Glee.
Don’t. Even. Get. Me. Started. On. My. Love. For. This. Show.
A show loaded with enormous singing numbers, and ridiculously talented singers. A show about kids who want to do nothing else but sing. A show about the completely non-popular kids in their high school who are fulfilled by their love for singing and performance. A show about me.
Love it.
And now?
The Sing Off.
I haven’t caught all the other nights of this show, but tonight I came home and turned on the television, and there it was.
Help. Me. Lord.
No instruments. All acapella singing. Talented singers who just love to sing and just want to sing and are singing. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.
Love it.
There is nothing like listening to someone who sing who can really sing. I mean REALLY sing.
I can’t go to a sing Broadway musical without sobbing hysterically. I am moved by beautiful, strong voices like nothing else.
And now? I’m not relegated to buying a ticket to a show to experience it.
It’s on TV!!!
I just hope that people who don’t necessarily love music, particularly vocal music, as much as I do are being exposed to it, just a bit, and are broadening their horizons. Maybe…just maybe, they’ll find they like it.
