There was a time when you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing an R Kelly hit, be it one of his solo records or a track that the R&B don had written for one of the world’s biggest stars. The ‘Bump N’ Grind’ singer’s hit rate may not be as high as it was few years ago, but his remix of Britney Spears’ ‘Till The World Ends’ sees him launch himself into the chart topping style of electro-pop with gusto.  The Spears single has already been reworked by Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, the latter of which originally wrote the song, but R Kelly still manages to add something by offering his sultry male vocals to proceedings.

Opting to leave the track, produced by Dr Luke, pretty much as it is in the original, R Kelly’s remix is more about the vocals and slick use of Auto Tune. R Kelly introduces a second verse with some of his own lyrics, “Slide up in this club. This beat’s got me in love.” His computer manipulated voice continues for the remainder of the track, entwined with Britney’s original vocals, in what is a triumphant reworking. ‘Till The World Ends’ was already a club smash but after R Kelly’s input, it’ll be sticking around in the clubs for a long time yet.

It’s not often that a television programme captures the hearts of adults and children alike but American hit show, Glee, has achieved just that. With two TV series behind them and a third already commissioned, a staggering number of singles and albums sold and Glee world tours, it’s nigh impossible to avoid Glee-mania so we have put together this concise guide to get you up to speed on everything you need to know about the world of Glee.

Glee is set in Ohio, USA and centres around the members of the William McKinley High School glee club and their star Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michele. Teacher Will Scheuster, played by Matthew Morrison, is the glee club’s director and spends almost every episode trying to prevent cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, who is competing for funding, from sabotaging the glee club’s plans.

Glee fans are affectionately referred to as Gleeks, due to their dedication to the show and everything connected with it. There are novels, games, clothing, accessories and now even a film is in production. The show airs on Fox in the States and originally on E4 in the UK, where it was the channel’s biggest viewing hit. Since E4 refused to pay the inflated asking price for season 3, Glee will now be shown on Sky 1 HD in the UK.
