Just as a reminder to you all everyone is allowed to have an opinion. For instance, one of my opinions is that the Beatles are trash. You can disagree, doesn’t make what I say wrong. It’s just personal. Music is subjective. That’s the beauty of it. Everyone has their own taste. You cannot say one’s taste is better than others. So stop saying “I’m wrong” or any other bullshit like that. It’s not wrong, it’s different than yours. Your opinion is not greater than mine, and mine is not greater than yours. (..when it comes to music). Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
@Matthew Mattocks dude Rocky horror songs are not meant to be sing for pro singers or something like that Thats one of the reasons the new version was a shit
It was cool at first but after a few seasons it was really boring and predictable... And the only one that was really amazing was Teenage Dream. Including Raise your glass in this list is a CRIME.
Honestly, I don't know like 80% of the songs in Glee until I watched Glee, and I even didn't appreciate the other 20%. Glee made me like these songs and changed my taste in music entirely. For me, I agree with all these songs in the video since I didn't know or even enjoy them in the first place, and for me Glee really made them enjoyable and really nice.
Glee made me interested in broadway and musical. Despite the shitshow on 4 5 6 we gotta admit their covers were great. I still feels emotional on landslide mine and songbird
'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' is the MOST underrated and also one of the best glee covers, you should all listen to it if you forgot how great it is. Also, Glee's 'Faithfully' is one of their best too and should be high on this list imo. I also think 'Americano/Dance Again' is way better than both the originals. 'A New York State Of Mind' is also soooo much better on glee and 'River Deep Mountain High' in my opinion. I love the glee cover of 'Everybody Talks' so glad thats on the list. Kurt's 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' is also very beautiful and in my opinion more touching and better than the original.
i listened to the glee cover way before i watched the show because i didn’t know that the cover was from a show... so much better than the original and so underrated from the fandom!
A point that hasn't been made yet is the music is not necessarily performed better in Glee, it's the arrangements, the harmonies, the collaborations of multiple voices instead of just one or two that make these songs so great!
SHAMED GLEE STAR ‘SUICIDE’ Mark Salling dead aged 35 - Glee actor ‘hanged himself’ in woods weeks before he was due to be jailed over 50,000 child abuse images....we sure do care ....
unpopular opinion: if the original smooth criminal was by anyone besides MJ, everyone would agree that the glee version was better than the original. People only defend it because it's by an icon. Glee did something totally different with that song and it's AMAZING, and I totally agree it's better than the original
milkovich I think most people like MJ's version because it just sounds better. There was a lot of autotune in the Glee version, but there wasn't any in the MJ version. Personally, I think MJ's version is a lot more entertaining.
Quinn’s voice is what makes the glee version of Marry You so amazing and is the main reason I prefer it over the original. Same with Santana’s vocals and the amazing cello on Smooth Criminal.
@@rebeccasiegel1230 I'm not a massive bastille fan either but I do love the origional Pompeii, that being said, there were elements I prefered in the glee version.
Not hate or shade but I like glles version of smooth criminal more than MJs I just like the quickened tempo and the sharpness of the Cello's. It just really creates an intense battle vibe for me.
@@agatakozior9907 before you throw more shade towards Michael jackson's original songs and to Michael jackson learn how to have common sense and understand what masterpieces and songs really sound like if it wasn't for Michael jackson glee would not be so big today michael knows how to do his own thing while glee just copies every celebrity's songs especially michael Jackson and whitney Houston's why would you compare glee's version of smooth criminal and Michael jackson's smooth criminal? Michael jackson's smooth criminal is untouchable and Michael jackson is the real smooth criminal I am not throwing shade I am saying the truth and the truth is that glee's version of smooth criminal is not better Michael jackson's version of smooth criminal Michael Jackson wins like always so stop comparing Michael jackson's own songs to glee's versions of his songs that is his work and he always wins Michael Jackson's version is better and he is a better, dancer, songwriter, and singer than the glee members and before you throw shade towards Michael jackson and his own songs that he worked his butt off on work on your typing, grammar, intelligence, and smartness and you call us toxic Michael jackson fans but they are correct glee's versions will never be better than Michael jackson's or whitney houston's versions I love glee but they are not better than michael jackson or whitney houston. You call us toxic Michael jackson fans well you are delusional glee fans and nobody is throwing shade it is the truth and I love glee and it is funny but it is dumb and that is not throwing shade it is the truth and leave the Michael jackson and whitney houston songs alone those songs will always be untouchable and the best and unbeatable glee is crap compared to both of those actually talented people.
@@agatakozior9907 I don't want to agree or disagree with you and I am not throwing shade glee sucks compared to Michael Jackson and whitney Houston glee is amazing but they are not better than these two really talented people and glee uses autotune in their songs if you are saying michael jackson's version of smooth criminal is better than you have no idea what true talent is and my grammar is amazing and fine and my grammar skills and spelling skills are at a freshman college level and I am not even in college yet that's how good I am at it so i am better than you at grammar and i am smarter and have more intelligence because if you were smart and intelligent you would've never said that glee's songs are better than the originals obviously you don't know what true talent is and people and me are throwing shade at glee we are telling the truth glee sucks compared to Michael jackson so you just accept the truth and deal with it.
I am sorry but no michael jackson is so freaking talented and he does not make just songs he makes masterpieces and i love glee but glee is not better than Michael jackson and their versions are not better than michael Jackson's own songs leave the Michael Jackson and whitney houston songs alone sweetheart those songs are untouchable michael Jackson and whitney Houston were extremely talented and they win like always so stop comparing those two true talented people to glee.
I am sorry but no Michael jackson is extremely talented and smooth criminal is not just a song it is a masterpiece so no glee's version of that song isn't better it is Michael jackson's and michael wins like always and he even outshined all of his brothers he is called the king of pop for a reason so why would you even say that?! That is a irrelevant comment
I'm a swiftie but I find it hard to decide witch version is better because Naya's performance was so good! Rest in peace Naya, we will never forget you.
I personally loved Paradise by Dashboard Light and pretty much the entire Quarterback soundtrack. But that could just be because of the emotional context of the episode.
Because it wasn't better. They cut out half the song. And even if you take into account runtime for the episode, they didn't record the full version for digital release either.
I don't usually get emotional while listening to music; however, Glee's versions of Shake It Out and Mine has brought me to tears. They had so much more emotion than the originals. I am so happy us Gleeks are still going strong!!!
It would have been good to put the original just a snippet to compare but I understand why you don't. I agree with most of these actually I wasn't expecting that XD.
Glee was amazing! Because of the emotionally charged main and side stories, we ate every moment of it up. We loved all of it. The music was the icing. Everyone connects to music. This show was about following your dreams and we watched them do it!!! I don’t think these songs were better than any of the originals. No. Glee is in a category all on its own. Apples and oranges people.
I didn't know like any of the songs before Glee covered it, but what i love about Glee is they made the song there own and made it unique, so to me almost 90% of the songs Glee covered were so much better for me
Jeez people, this list is her opinion. Everyone has different opinions ok? There'll always be a person saying "but this and this artist with this and this song is wayy better so shut uuuup". I disagree with some points here too, but i don't hate on the list or the person. Grow up.
So is it not people's opinion to dispute her list? Why is it people put their opinions out into a public forum and expect said opinions to be sacrosanct and remain unchallenged? Such a damn stupid thought.
@@ajrocks12x Honey, you clicked on this video already knowing that it would be this persons personal list. You would know from the beginning that you would most likely have a different opinion. Yes, the comments are their opinions, but then they should make their own list and video, not hate on this one.
Don't y'all love how one of the scenes filled with the most sexual tension in the show, was a screen with a lesbian and a gay? Yeah,, smooth criminal scene is THAT good
Can I just say there is something magical about Becca Tobin's (Kitty's) voice? Normally, I find that nasally-ness annoying, but with her? I LOVE it and it gives me chills And IMA need to argue that "Paradise by the dashboard light" was criminally forgotten from this list. It is easily one of the best performances from the entire show. And let's face it, if anybody was going to make a Meatloaf song sound good, it was gonna be glee

I love glee, but as a directioner I cant agree. I love Sebastian's voice but nothing can beat my fetus Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn singing "Live while we are young"... anyways, great video! Really enjoyed most of the songs!
One of the most improved covers is I bust the windows out your cars. The choreography, the tempo change, mercedes amazing vocals.. I think that's one of the most underrated covers
Seeing Everybody Talks just reminds me how underutilized Kitty/Becca Tobin was during her time on the show. In terms of which is better, I find majority of the originals to be better, I have to say a vast majority of the originals are better than Glee’s version, but there are some exceptions (most of the Katy songs)
