STAGE TUBE: Sneak Peek of THE GLEE PROJECT Season 2 Premiere

In this exclusive clip of the Season 2 premiere of Oxygen's THE GLEE PROJECT, the contestants begin to size up their competition as one talented tenn realizes she's no longer "the one with the story" in the pack. Says 21-year-old contestant Shanna, "In this situation, every single person has overcome something. I was paralyzed when I was 2, but Mario lost his sight when he was young, we have Tyler who is transgender, and Maxfield just started singing 6 months ago!" Watch the exclusive sneak peek below!

Season two of the critically acclaimed THE GLEE PROJECT returns with additional themes, all new music and more episodes. During the eleven week run of the series, "The Glee Project" contenders will be narrowed down through intensive rounds of workshops, singing, dancing and acting-based assignments as the creative forces of "Glee" carefully assess who has what it takes to be one of the next new faces of the award-winning show.

Murphy will once again join casting director Robert Ulrich and choreographer and "Glee" co-producer Zach Woodlee in the final deliberations of each installment of the series. Vocal coach Nikki Anders, who mentored the contenders on-air in season one, joins the judging panel in season two each week as a permanent member. Additionally, continuing with the format of season one, "Glee" series regulars will appear on "The Glee Project" as guest mentors, including Lea Michele ("Rachel Berry") in the show’s premiere episode.

"The Glee Project" is produced by Ryan Murphy Television and Embassy Row with Ryan Murphy, Dante di Loreto, Michael Davies and Shauna Minoprio serving as executive producers.
