Glee finally covers Michael Jackson material

Fans of Michael Jackson and many music historians have wondered for quite some time why the popular TV show Glee took so long to cover the King of Pop’s material.

With shows dedicated to specific musicians such as Madonna and Britney Spears, we still must wonder why an entire segment is not dedicated to the man who changed music and the way it was visually seen has not occurred.

It is not for lack of material both private and personal. Does Madonna’s show that highlighted how she changed the path for women in music mean more. Did Michael not only change music but also change how celebrities use their exposure for the better of mankind.

We would like to see a Glee show focusing on his music, videos, charity work and the effects of media and fame. With fame glorified especially in light of reality TV, is not the study of Michael Jackson nothing short of something that should be taught in modern society classes today.

Let us know what you think.
