@@bunnybrie8734 I’m sorry if you don’t like this, but I do prefer the Glee covers of How Will I Know and Bills Bills Bills more than the original and I like both covers of Poker Face equally
@@bunnybrie8734 and while i do like the original of How Will I Know by Whitney Houston, Glee's version delves into thicker emotional water. And when a simple drum kicks in during the last 30 seconds, their mourning feels almost spiritual-or at least special. Hate what I just said all you want, but I stand by what I say because I will always prefer the Glee covers of those songs more than the original
Thank you. And also fair enough. It was actually very hard for me to make the list as I also wanted to include some covers that are genuinely better than the original and I while I do like the Glee covers of most of the songs on my list, I do like them just as much as the original. My example is 94
I downloaded a few of these songs onto my iPod, back in the day. 😉 My absolute favorite Glee cover didn’t make your list: River Deep, Mountain High by Santana and Mercedes. I adore Tina Turner, and can’t imagine anyone singing her song better than she did, but I think this cover is better than the original. Fun list, thanks for putting it together ❤️
Funny you should mention that, because the Glee cover of River Deep, Mountain High actually did almost make the list, and it was going to be featured in this video, but the problem was was that I couldn't think of a good enough place for it, but if I did, then it probably would've tied with Lucky
@@TheRedDevilYTOfficial that was the first song I ever downloaded from a TV series, either scripted or competition. A couple of the songs that I just LOVED in the context of the episode didn’t have lasting power on their own, and I ended up deleting them from my iPod (I listened to that at work all day long, so I had 3000+ songs on it; they weren’t ALL favorites 😉). I Want To Hold Your Hand and Pure Imagination were two that brought me to tears during their episodes, but without the storylines to go along with them, I found myself skipping past them, then finally just deleting them. All the other songs I downloaded from Glee (I think all included in your list) have stood the test of time and I don’t even think of them as Glee songs, just songs I love 😊 I miss that silly show 😁
@@ninamravlja3632 yeah I hear you. I miss Glee too. And that's all very interesting to hear. And just for the record, I do prefer the Glee cover of Pure Imagination more than the original, but there was no way I was going to put it on the list, because where would it go and how could I?
Curious… how did you rank these? Like, are they ranked by how much better they are than the original? Or how much you like them overall? Ex: if the original song is a 3 (out of 10) and glee’s version is a 7, would it be ranked realllly high (because that’s a huge jump) or pretty low (because a lot of glee songs are better than a 7)? There’s not a right or wrong answer, but genuinely curious how you thought about doing it!!! Great list :)
Basically, I did this as a way to show which Glee covers I prefer more than the original, and always will. I don’t really see this as a ranking, but rather all the Glee covers, and honourable mentions, that I prefer more than the original, in the order that I like them in, if that makes sense.
@@TheRedDevilYTOfficial ahhh yes perfect sense, thanks! And fr thank you (and the others that did) for making these videos. I know they take a lot of work, but the glee cast really had so many amazing hits and they deserve their flowers for it!!!
@@JoeSmith-db4rq Of course! Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed this and I would love to know what you think of my “Top 120 Glee Songs I Prefer More Than The Original”

Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed this! My birthday is going great so far! I really like your opinions on all of them! And yes, All Or Nothing is an original song but there was no way I was not going to put it on the list, especially because if it wasn’t an original song, then the Glee cover would easily be better than the original!
thanks! so glad you enjoyed this! and yeah, i hate the gcv of give your heart a break but only because i absolutely hate brochel and prefer faberry but there is something about the gcv that i seem to like without myself even knowing!
Well that's fine with me. Everyone has different opinions on everything and I only put Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas on the list because I do genuinely like it a lot more than the original because I really like how it sounds and I think it's very beautiful and also very calming. And if you want to laugh out loud at it being featured in this then that's absolutely fine with me.
