It's been over two years since the first episode of Fox's television series Glee was aired, and the show has been a huge success ever since. The show has received many awards including six Emmy Awards, five Satellite Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and six Teen Choice Awards. Clearly, this series is very popular with the public, but the question remains: is Glee a phenomenon or just a wannabe?

Glee is a very controversial television show because the cast performs mostly covers of songs instead of original songs. Many people debate whether this is a good thing or not, and it's really about personal opinion. Some people like that Glee covers songs, some people don't.



"Misery" is a song originally sung by the band Maroon 5. The song was released in June 2010.

As you can see, Glee does covers of very modern, popular songs. But they also do covers of older songs from past generations.



"Don't Stop Believin'" is a song originally sung by the band Journey and was released in 1981.

Glee does a wide variety of songs ranging from Broadway to pop to hip hop to rock. So you would think it would please all audiences, right? Well, some people are less than enthused about the show, and the debate continues over whether or not Glee is a phenomenon or just a wannabe.
