The character Lea Michele embodies on The Fox News Television Program, GLEE is one of the most amazing, influential and strong willed WOMYN on the air right now. She is living proof that no matter who you are, what age, color, sexual orientation, etc. YOU are the one who ultimately has the power over your own happiness and destiny. She is the reason so many young people today are alive and have given doing away with themselves a second thought.
Before you judge her take a look at the pure scope and magnitude of what she's accomplished since this show has started and I think you'll see that any petty comments you have about her not deserving her place on that list are wrong, ill informed and most importantly bigoted.

Exactly, legallysam.
I guarantee that if you ask your average person (provided they do not watch Glee) who Lea Michele is, they will have no idea.
Who is Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan? Manmohan Singh? The average person would recognize "Rachel from Glee" before any of those names.
I don't see that as "influential."
Please explain how Didier Drogba and JT Wang have influenced your life over the past year. Now, have you ever watched Glee? Bought the DVD, CDs or any of the tracks on iTunes? Congratulations, you've been influenced by Lea Michele.
Jesus people, it's a magazine popularity contest, not a Nobel prize.

"it's all well and good saying that Jane Lynch and Ryan Murphy should be on the list, but Lea Michele is the girl that all the other little girls watch on Glee, "their favouritest programme ever" and they see her singing every week etc. and she probably influences a lot of girls, especially those with a love for musical theatre/singing. I can't see an 11 year old girl wanting to be like Sue Sylvester when they're older, but i can see millions of girls aspiring to be someone like Rachel Berry, a girl with a lot of talent who works hard...? just my two cents."
This is a good point. Although I'd still kind of argue for Ryan Murphy, since the show as a whole can be pretty inspiring for young people, and he's the one who created the whole thing
But yeah, I get what you mean in terms of Jane :)
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Yeah, Lea Michele is a young, pretty, skinny woman -- kudos to her for making a statement by becoming a TV star!

I just don't get how she's the ONE picked from an entire ensemble of people.
Maybe they should have just announce the show as a whole.

Oh, another thing:
How about Chris Colfer? He's kind of become the heart of the show, and he was never even intended to be one of the break out stars like Lea was!
Plus, how often do we see strong, confident gay teenage characters on TV? Not too often! PLUS the fact that he's publicly out himself at 19 years old is pretty darn awesome. He probably really is quite inspiring to a LOT of young gay people :)
And again, part of what I find so impressive about him is that he kind of came out of nowhere and became one of the fan favorites of the show on sheer talent alone. Heck, there never even WAS a Kurt character until Chris auditioned!
So yeah, I'd think if we're saying Lea deserves it because Rachel is a positive role model for young kids (which is true), and Ryan Murphy for the show over all wasn't an option for whatever reason, Chris deserves it just as much, if not more so, as Lea

"If we're choosing from Glee, I think Ryan Murphy should be the influential one. He created it, serves as the executive producer, writer, director, and executive music producer."
Um yes. Truly bizarre. Well, I guess that in this celebrity-obsessed culture. She is an first-time TV actress in an ensemble cast in its second season. She's got very little to do with its influence besides being lovely on the show.

Posted: 4/29/10 at 11:10pmHer CHARACTER may be influential, but she seems like she has a stick shoved up her butt in every non-production photo of her that I've seen.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

That is what I meant by Kurt. The whole story line and his father as well knowing he was gay, and the acceptance. that was great to see.
I agree with not choosing just one character and using the ensemble as a whole - one or none. or recognize the creators, producers as said as well.
i also see the points made about Lea and perhaps she will make a statement about it being an ensemble thing.

Lea Michele? Influential? More like LA's 100 Most Persistent Publicists of 2010...
If they're going to feature somebody from Glee, why the hell not Jane Lynch?! I'd venture that she's one of the most talented comedic actresses working today.
