I don't. As someone who has spent 45 years in the performing arts, I can abso-bloomin-lootley tell you that flawless performances come from weeks and months of hard work and preparation. Yet here we are supposed to believe that a bunch of high school kids could "write" two songs and design intricate choreography over night and then go into a national competition? I DON'T THINK SO. It's preposterous for the writers to think we will buy the fact that a group would travel to NYC without a clue as to what they are actually going to do. "Winging" a national competition? It that were actually the case, they would have placed 50th, not 13th, and be laughed off the stage. This show had the potential to introduce it's target audience (teens) to the abundance of wonderful music and songs of which they are/were unaware. To some extent it did, but when they digressed to a salute to the ridiculous Justin Beiver it took a nose dive. Sadly, most of it's target audience has already heard his mindless dribble and through repetition, came to like it. We'll see what next season will bring. I hope that this stupid and boring teeny, extreme PC soap will turn around to showcasing the best of Broadway and Pop. Leave the repetitive eight bars over and over again to the mindless uninformed and sing REAL songs.
