SInging with Glee!

Fans of Glee, the hit TV series, will not want to miss this app, designed for both the iPhone and iPad. Gleeks (which refers to fans of the show) all over the country can now unite and sing their hearts out with this app. Think you can sing better than Rachel? Think you can pull off those high notes like Mercedes? Or fancy a duet with Finn? Well, this app will let you do all these, and more....
The Glee app is currently available in iTunes for just USD 0.99.


From the main menu of the app, you can choose 'sing!' to start singing your favourite Glee songs. Now, the app comes with four songs for free, but if you want to sing more songs, you can buy each song individually in-app at the price of USD 0.99 each.



Once you have chosen a song, you'll be recommended to sing into your earphone mic for better clarity. You can choose whether to turn on or off the auto-tune feature while singing. If you are not that confident with your vocal prowess, it's better to turn the feature on so it will automatically correct your pitch as you sing along to the lyrics on-screen. The song list is updated regularly, so you'll always be able find some new songs to download from time to time :)



All your songs will be saved in the 'share' section, where you can listen to, or rename the track if you wanted to. In addition, you can also choose to sing 'Acapella' style or sing along to any of the tracks you have stored in your iPod.  You will be able to broadcast and share your songs via the the app itself, Facebook or Twitter. Once you have posted a song, other app users will be able to listen to your tracks and rate your performance. If they like your tune, they can give your a 'gleek', or even post a comment. If you go to the 'listen' section of the main menu, you can listen to songs other users have uploaded, as well as your own tracks. Be prepared to cringe, or marvel at other people's singing skills.


Another  feature of the app is the ability to perform a duet, trio, or group singing with friends and strangers alike. Go to the 'join' section, and choose who you want to perform with, and you're good to go. Online karaoke, here I come.


In addition, you can also choose to perform a duet with either Rachel or Finn for the song "Somebody To Love'. Bring it on!!!

I simply love this app because it allows me to rediscover my passion for singing. If you like singing, or the show, this app is a must have!
