Amy, I know you said you were unsure about talking about Blake, and I'm sorry that you were uncomfortable about talking about it, but I think it's great you talked about it. I think people should know about this, ignoring it isn't going to make it go away, talking about domestic abuse could normalise victims coming forward which I think is so important.

[@erikdaniels0n]

I thought she handled it beautifully. It’s a really delicate topic, but I also think it’s extremely important to talk about, especially because all of this happened because Blake won The Glee Project. Whether they knew it or not, the producers and judges were enabling his abusive behavior by allowing him to win.

[@brittanya2397]

It was actually revealed that Taryn had multiple deaths in her family within the same timespan which is why she really left, not so much “home sick”. I kind of wish they said that but then again I understand the privacy concern.

[@misskyliesue]

I remember despising Blake from day one. Boring, cookie cutter, white boy who definitely didn't have the best voice. Like you said, him being a "great actor" all had to do with him being super aggressive, which given what we know now makes me super uncomfortable. I honestly wasn't really rooting for anyone when it was on. I thought Ali was talented, but didn't really see her fitting in on the show. I'm glad she went on to win that Tony, being on stage in musical theatre is her thing.

[@leonardo70235]

Well, we all know who actually won in life. Tony winner Ali Stroker!

[@rachelg7993]

When I watch Season 2 of the Glee Project it feels kind of fake - almost like they had already pretty much decided Blake would play Ryder and this was his boot camp to set him up... I know it’s cynical but they send home all these unique, interesting, talented people, they tell them to be themselves and then put them into difficult situations where they don’t want them to be themselves and it’s kind of setting them up to fail. I think it was unfair and if they wanted Blake for Ryder they should have cast him and then done the Glee Project without him and picked someone for a guest star arc - which is what the prize was supposed to be and Ryder was never going to be that... Loved hearing all your thoughts Amy, great video!

[@LaLemonie]

I personally loved Nellie the most, she was such a gentle person and her voice had beautiful colour. I could really see her in the show just the way she was and get so many young girls identify with her (me included). Not everyone has to be over the top Rachel Berry. Also, no tea no shade but if the contestants really need to be talented actors then why did the first season's winners were 2 white dudes who literally can do 3 face expressions. 😂

[@chrishansen8119]

I think season 1s winners were part of the reason why the judges in season 2 cared so much about acting. I love Sam and Damien, but they straight up can’t act. And that’s why their storylines were cut short, they didn’t give a lot to work with. So when season 2 came around, they were really looking for someone who can control a scene

[@JustALilHuman]

I don't really believe anything that blake jenner said bc he was so aggressive and he waited until Melissa had announced her baby before her released his 'apology'. Also, in Melissa's IGTV video from last year she said that she only acted in self defense and I believe her a lot more bc she is an angel. #IStandWithMelissa

[@wasd_totallyreal_dsaw9865]

Although mine was a different kind of abuse, I was a victim of abuse and let me tell you. After hisbpost, i believed her more. Everything about his words sound like excuses my own abuser uses. It's vague, self centered, it gaslights and shifts blame, and shit he wrote were already proven to be untrue.

Blake won because whether we like it or not, Ryan and the Glee staff, as well as the entertainment industry in general, favor white, cis, and able bodied men.

[@Marie45610]

One issue I had with the Glee Project was that it was okay for that one guy, I think it was season one, who was religious or something not being comfortable with being "sexy" or whatever, but when Nellie also expressed that, they told her she *had* to if she wanted to stay in the competition. She was who I wanted to see on the show. I haven't watched Glee Project since it aired, so I didn't remember 95% of what you've until you mentioned it, but American competition shows for some reason really like to add in random drama to "spice" things up. It really adds nothing.

[@shanleenkinnjaskey2419]

They also did something similar in the actual glee show itself, where the guys not being comfortable with sex got mostly respected but Marley got shamed in the Katy v Gaga episode for not wanting to be sexual and getting suspended for not wanting to wear a bikini for a number.

You're so right about Blake being aggressive. When the show aired I loved him I thought he was sweet and a great actor. When I heard about Melissa I thought about the scenes he shot for actability week and also a short film he had made with a bunch of other glee project contestants where once again he was portraying an aggressive character. It's scary to imagine him being that way with her.

[@jodavi5763]

I loved Season 1 and then Season 2 nearly got me off anything Glee like a diet.

[@MusicLiveOn]

I always thought the idea for The Glee Project was very unnecessary, and it was bound to end up badly from the start. The premise of the show was finding fresh blood to make new characters for the show (which is a problem by itself because of the mess the actual show was when it came to closing everyone's storylines), but Ryan said he wanted to find inspiring people who would make a new character with a fresh story arc. However, the judges of TGP never chose neither a) those interesting, inspiring people, nor b) the best singers and performers, because they would compete with his main storylines; and Ryan didn't want to have a better singer than Lea Michelle, and singers like Marissa, Aylin, Ali, and Shanna would compete with her too much. Ultimately, they chose the middle ground people who would make a flat and boring storyline. 2. The number of episodes given to the winners was very odd? Damian and Samuel ended up becoming extras with stupid story arcs which didn't have any relevance in the end. It's hard to even think about what their last episode was and the way they left the show was excused with some off-screen explanation. Lindsay and Alex were runner-ups and were given 3 episodes, to which Lindsay's character was (again) irrelevant af, and Alex ended up appearing in most of the show, even more than the actual winners, which felt very unfair, regardless Alex having the best storyline out of them all. The reason why Blake's character got more than 7 eps was because Ryan found him white, cis, and attractive, and apparently having him being Finn 2.0 was the most inspiring thing they got out of him? Are you kidding? It didn't matter how much depth they tried giving Ryder, it was still meaningless in the end. Not to mention the writers forgot about his character just like they forgot about many others and never gave him any closure. I have to say, during TGPS2, the writers mentioned how they could see Ali being a villain who's not stopped by being in a wheelchair, which was a great storyline, but they still chose Blake. 3. THEY STILL ADDED MORE CHARACTERS AND HIRED MORE ACTORS WHICH DIDN'T EVEN COME FROM TGP AND THEY STILL FORGOT ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO END THE SHOW WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST. I love Glee, but the writing of this show makes me so mad. My point: The Glee Project shouldn't have happened. Edit: I just remembered reading about how Michael got into the show, and it was something about Ryan founding him in a plane while he was playing his guitar and asked him if he wanted to be in there, and Michael had no idea what Glee even was! Also, Michael had spoken about his experience in the show and he's shared how sketchy it was and how it was mostly them pretending to have beef with each other bc the cameras were always in their faces.

As much as I love Aylin, as much as I’m biased as Turk towards her winning, I am ultimately very happy that she wasn’t cast on Glee at all. They might’ve put her in a hijab, tried to get her to speak Arabic, and erased her culture for a loosely related stereotype. Like, don’t quote me, but Naya wasn’t a native Spanish speaker, at least, as far as I could gauge from her accent and that was still a critical part of Santana’s character that was more or less thrust upon Naya for her appearance. A “proud Muslim, Turkish woman,” as Aylin said, being cast as generally Muslim who knows arabic-the average viewer at the time wouldnt understand that there are other Muslim majority countries that aren’t arabic speaking-especially when Islam in Turkey historically was practiced far more secularly than its neighbors, would be just so demoralizing and regressive. Even for Glee standards. Ryan Murphy and company are interested in diverse stories, but have zero will to actually invest the research and effort to write the honest nuances. Satire without nuance is just punching down, and that’s what glee became before the first season even ended. And, yeah, even after all of that, I’m still a fan.

I don't remember anything from Glee Project season 2 except the trailer scenes they did for that one episode. What confused me was that they had these kids make their own scenes? Like on the spot?? Why couldn't they just write a script for them? Sorry, didn't know Glee was an improv show.

I think with Diana and the wheelchair storyline she did have something to say as it always felt very jarring how she was in it for one major episode and then it wasn't really brought up again and then magically she could walk again, they probably cut a lot of scenes if she wasn't happy with it
