Oxygen’s The Glee Project concluded last night with the announcement of the winner. After 10 weeks of tryouts (I watched every episode) and lots of singing, dancing, and cool music video performances, the winner is…
BOTH Damian and Samuel! Damian McGinty (18) and Samuel Larsen (19) will be joining season 3 of Glee as two new high school students.
They will BOTH be featured in a seven episode arc this Fall which we already know will involve some type of rivalry with Jane Lynch’s Sue Sylvester. I was a fan of Damian’s because he has the cutest Irish accent and he was always down-to-earth and honest. He even dedicated his final performance to his two besties he met on The Glee Project, Hannah and Cameron. (I’m still mad at you for quitting, Cameron!)
But the winner reveal didn’t stop at Damian and Samuel. Runners up Alex Newell (18) and Lindsay Pearce (20) will also be featured in two episodes of Glee this Fall. So everyone wins!
I thought Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy was a little tough on some of the kids on The Glee Project, but he definitely made up for it by being a bit of a softy last night and giving them all a shot at their dream. That is just so very Glee, isn’t it? You just Don’t Stop Believin’.
