Description
This paper interrogates Glee’s idealized musical world through the conflicting dichotomies of spontaneity and performance, recording and synchronization, verisimilitude and fantasy, that are both set up and blurred by Glee’s unique film musical-music video mashup. The series is discussed in relation to the increase in spontaneous musical performance in the wider media environment, including YouTube videos, flash mobs, television stunts, musical advertising and the rise of portable music players and digital music streaming services. Jane Feuer and Richard Dyer’s work on spontaneity in musical performance inform an analysis of the tensions raised by Glee’s musical moments, while scholarship on recording and synchronization are mobilized to consider how Glee masks its production processes in favor of musical realism. It also considers key questions of mise-en-scene, camera work, and spectator positioning to interrogate Glee’s blurring of the lines between verisimilitude and fantasy.
