The terrible innuendo aside this post is
actually about Damian McGinty, the co-winner of the first season of the Glee
Project, and his fellow contestant Cameron Mitchel. The Glee Poroject is a
reality series started by the creators of Glee. The aim of the show was to find
talented individuals who could star in a minimum seven-episode arc in the
following season of the show.
McGinty is an Irish actor and singer
from Derry, Northern Ireland, who has been performing for over a
decade, and was a member of the group Celtic Thunder for four years
starting when he was fourteen.
On 21 August 2011 he won the Oxygen reality
show The Glee Project, earning him a seven-episode guest-starring role, which
was later extended to 17 episodes. My favourite performance was when he sang "Are you Lonesome night?":
McGinty made his first appearance
on Glee in the fourth episode of the season entitled "Pot o'
Gold" playing Rory Flanagan, an Irish foreign exchange student. My heart broke when his time on Glee was over! They truely could have done so much more with his story-line!
Cameron
Mitchell, is an American
singer-songwriter from Colleyville, Texas. Mitchell received
attention for choosing to leave the competition, then returning to win the Bing
Fan Favorite at the end of the season. By choosing to leave he saved Damian from elimination. Mitchell says he has been influenced
by John Mayer and especially The Beatles.
Following the final
episode Damian was featured in a special video on the Oxygen channel
website with Cameron, where they sang Michael Bublé's "Haven't
Met You Yet":
Cameron and Damian are known
to their fans as Irish brothers and are currently living together; still making
music. They are so cute together and I love their combined musical talents.
