Lately, I don't understand the song choices for Glee. They either choose really overplayed songs or they don't even seem to make an effort to cover them in a different way. I can't believe they contributed to Rebecca Black's undeserved wealth by covering Friday...badly (although Art can do no wrong). I guess it makes sense that it would get played at a prom because it's so bad it's funny and so many people already know the lyrics, but I didn't think I'd have to experience it on TV.
I was a little worried about hearing another Adele song on Glee because of Gwyneth Paltrow's paltry version (lyrics fit the scene, but there's no way she could ever have a strong enough voice to sing one of Adele's songs. That was the first time I was really disappointed by one of her covers), but Jesse and Rachel had the chops to carry it. I'm just not a huge fan of the church choir version. They didn't even really try to put a new spin on it besides turning it into a duet.
Black Kids + unbelievably catchy dance song + Blaine (I love how The Warblers cover songs in a barbershop quartet kind of way) = high note of ep.
