Madonna’s 'Vogue' video remade by 'Glee'

After the end of the April 13 episode of the US musical television series Glee, marking the anticipated midseason return of the new hit show, the cast re-enacted Madonna's legendary "Vogue" video with the wicked cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester in the starring role.

A clever way to promote next week's "The Power of Madonna" episode, devoted to the Material Girl's music, it's created a sensation. The three-minute segment was also sponsored by Chevy. The video can be seen in the US on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/watch/142123/glee-vogue).

The remake is a close reproduction of the original 1990 black and white music video, shot by film director David Fincher ( The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Alien 3), except that actress Jane Lynch inserts some personalized touches such as the line: "Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Sue Sylvester, dance on air."

Since Glee's debut in the fall on the US Fox Television channel, it has won a Golden Globe, a Peabody, and earns high ratings. After a four-month hiatus, it drew an audience of 13.6 million, up 46 percent over its previous viewership.
