NÚMEROS Y NEGATIVAS DE GLEE // NUMBERS AND DENIALS OF GLEE

Ser una de las series con mejor audiencia de EEUU, tener uno de los demográficos más altos, y que más beneficios generan, no le salvan de tener la negativa por parte de cantantes y grupos para que aparezcan sus canciones versionadas en la serie.

Ryan Murphy, creador y director de la serie, no deja de hablar en internet (y se lo agradecemos) sobre el día a día del equipo, tanto de lo bueno como de lo malo.

En el dvd de la primera temporada, me llamó la atención que dijeron que los derechos de canciones del grupo Queen, son de los más caros y tuvieron que subir el presupuesto del último episodio de la primera temporada, para poder incluir la obra maestra Bohemian Rhapsody, que les quedó espectacular y supieron integrar en la trama.

El equipo intentó comprar Lose Yourself de Eminem, y el rapero pide por la canción 200.000 dólares, cifra desproporcionada que se les iba del presupuesto. Nunca entenderé el éxito de Eminem, por lo que me alegra que no lo incluyeran en la serie.

Sobre el grupo Slash, Ryan recurrió al humor y dijo "alguien piensa en Slash desde 1989?"

Pero el verdadero culebrón se ha formado con el grupo Kings of Leon, a los que les quisieron pedir prestado su repertorio de canciones, y estos se negaron. En esta ocasión, el director no recurrió al humor ni a la indiferencia, sino que dijo en su twitter:

"Fuck you Kings of Leon (Que os jodan Kings of Leon)"

Y los describe como: Son unos arrogantes egoístas que no supieron ver el potencial. Olvidaron que un niño de siete años podría ver a alguien de su edad cantando su música y que quizás eso lo habría inspirado a unirse a un club de canto o a tocar un instrumento. Es como si odiaran las artes y la educación. Se pueden burlar de Glee todo lo que quieran, pero lo que hacemos es acercar a los chicos a la música.

Pienso que se excedió al decir eso sobre el grupo, pero si que le doy la razón al decir que Glee acerca mucha música a los más jóvenes. Acogen tanto musicales clásicos de Barbra Streisand, Beatles, Queen, pop de Katy Perry hasta canciones más alternativas como Dog days are over, la selección puede gustar más o menos, pero es muy variada.

Los miembros del grupo se sorprendieron de la dureza de Murphy y contestaron:

"Querido Ryan Murphy déjalo estar. Ve a un terapeuta, hazte la manicura, compra un nuevo sujetador. Cierra la boca y dedícate a enseñar a los niños de siete a decir joder".

Me parece de muy mal gusto jactarse de la homosexualidad del director mediante tópicas para dejarlo de afeminado.

Poco después dijeron que toda esta polémica les sorprendió, que ni habían visto la serie, y que estaban muy ocupados con el disco. No querían ofender a Glee ni a la educación musical. No entienden tanta rabia contra ellos.

Vale que no quisieran ceder su repertorio, y no defiendo la contestación de Murphy al grupo, pero el mensaje de burla de Kings of Leon les perjudica más que ayuda.

Y aparte de las polémicas, se han sabido cuáles son lo singles más vendidos de Glee, ojo son singles no discos, así que hay que sumar las recopilaciones, y cifras parecidas semana a semana, es una mina de oro.

------------------

Be one of the shows with better audience of the USA, to have one of demographic more high places, and that more benefits generate, they do not save of having the denial on the part of singers and groups so that his songs appear versionadas in the series. 

 Ryan Murphy, creator and the director of the series, does not stop speaking in twitter (and we are grateful for it) on every day about the team, both about the good thing and about the bad thing. 

In the dvd of the first season, I saw how they said that the rights of songs of the group Queen, they are of the most expensive and had to raise the budget of the last episode of the first season, to be able to include the masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody, which they had left spectacular and they could integrate in the plot. 

 The team tried to buy Lose Yourself of Eminem, and the rapper asks for the song for 200.000 dollars, disproportionate number that they was going away of the budget. I will never understand the success of Eminem, from what it makes me happy that they were not including it in the series. 

 On the group Slash, Ryan resorted to the humor and said " someone thinks about Slash from 1989? "

But the real soap opera has formed with the group Kings of Lion, from which they wanted to borrow them his repertoire of songs, and these refused. In this time, the director resorted neither to the humor nor to the indifference, but he said in his twitter: 

" Fuck You Kings of Lion  " And it describes them like: 

They are a few arrogant egoists who could not see the potential. They forgot that a seven-year-old child might see to someone of his age singing his music and that perhaps that would have inspired to joining a club of singing or to touching an instrument. It is as if they hated the arts and the education. They can deceive of Glee everything what they want, but what we do is to bring the boys over to the music. 

 I think that it excelled itself on having said that on the group, but if that I give him the account on having said that Glee brings a lot of music over to the youngest. They receive so much musical classic of Barbra Streisand, Beatles, Queen, pop de Katy Perry up to more alternative songs as Dog days ploughs over, the selection can please more or less, but it is very varied. 

The members of the group were surprised at the hardness of Murphy and answered: 

" Dear Ryan Murphy allow it to be.

He sees a therapist, become the manicurist, buy a new bra. Close the mouth and devote yourself to teach the children of seven to say to yourself waste time ". 

 It seems to me of much bad taste to boast about the homosexuality of the director by means of hackneyed to leave it of made effeminate. 

 Soon they said that they surprised all this polemic, that they had not even seen the series, and that they were very busy with the disc. They wanted to offend neither to Glee nor to the musical education. They do not understand so many anger against them. 

 It costs that they did not want to transfer his repertoire, and I do not defend the response of Murphy to the group, but the message of mockery of Kings of Lion harms them more that it helps. 

 And apart from the polemics, there have been known which are the most sold singles of Glee, eye not discs are singles, so it is necessary to add the compilations, and similar numbers week a week, it is a gold-mine.
