darren criss We knew that "The Glee Project" was going to try and emulate "Glee" in a reality TV format to the best of its ability, but who would have ever thought the show would end up managing something that was so close to the real thing? From the similar color scheme to the background music, the producers over at Oxygen definitely made this as close to the real thing as a show can get. As far as entertainment goes, the premiere was a mixed bag. After seeing so many audition rounds in the past it really wasn't that interesting watching people sing in front of a panel of judges, and even some of the initial challenges left a little bit of something to be desired. Yes, having the kids sing in a classroom is very similar to the show, but where's that extra kick.
The best moment clearly came in the music video for "Firework," which really showed off some creativity along with the personalities of the cast. The show's going to need to keep pushing in this creative direction to remind us this is entertainment first and foremost -- not just a casting search. When it comes to the contestants, producers did a pretty good job of assembling a rather diverse group. We have Alex with the high voice, Samuel with the dreadlocks, and Emily with the creepy "you can call me whatever you want" behavior towards guest Darren Criss.
