The Grammy's

No Grammy love for the Gleeks. The cast was nominated for two Grammys this year: Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and Best Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture or Television. They didn't win, but Matthew, Lea, Amber, Dianna, Jenna, Mark, and Kevin all attended the event, and Matt and Lea were presenters.

Its not my intention to nitpick celebrities, but I have to mention something that Matt said on the red carpet that irritated me. Ryan Seacrest talked about the tour Matt will be doing this summer, and then he asked, "How do your castmates feel about that...the fact that you are having the opportunity to do a solo tour." (paraphrasing) And Matthew replied that the Glee cast was jealous.

Whether that's true or not, I think Matthew showed poor taste in saying that. Maybe he was trying to be funny, but his comments didn't come across as humorous.

Its really sad, because one of the greatest aspects of Glee is the amazing bond the cast seems to have, especially among the young people of the show. They are constantly together on and off the set. In various groups and twosomes, they go out to dinner, to movies and to shows, they take trips together and celebrate each other's birthdays. They twitter and text each other as well. They all speak so highly of each other in the press and through twitter, praising each other's performances, both on the show and in their other projects. Members of the cast attended Cory's first gig with his band and the premiere of "I am Number Four," starring Dianna Agron. I do wonder if some of them are secretly jealous of the attention that certain cast members receive, or if there is frustration over the lack of storylines and solos for some of the characters. If there is any discord, however, I haven't seen even a hint of it. So I'm really disappointed in Matt for insinuating that jealousy exists. In fact, both Lea and Cory have recording contracts, but Lea has stated in the press that right now her focus is on Glee and not on a solo singing effort.
