Season three started
off with a bang. But by the end of the season, they started to go back into old
habits and the storylines were once again getting way too ahead of themselves.
Before I take a look back at the moments that were outstanding, let us all
acknowledge the awkward and uncomfortable song covers from Glee’s third season.
10.) “Run The World
(Girls)”
From the episode Asian
F
I love me some Brittany S. Pierce, but it’s tough for ANYONE
to take on a fierce Beyoncé like this, especially Ms. Pierce herself. The idea
of the song works great for this election storyline, but the remake loses all
of the power of the music and the “oomph” of the original.
9.) “Uptown Girl”
From the episode The
First Time
The Warblers were great in the beginning of the second
season with Blaine, but even then, the whole acapella shtick got old REAL fast.
Having this random moment in this episode was very…well, random!
8.) “My Favorite
Things”
From the episode Extraordinary
Merry Christmas
The whole Christmas special within the Christmas episode was
a cute idea, but it went on longer than it needed to. This version to me was
too boring and a little on the safe side. Why not re-make the incredible Diana
Ross & The Supreme’s version?!!! That would have made it more
Christmas-like and definitely more interesting.
7.) “Perfect”
From the episode I
Kissed A Girl
Kurt’s singing voice is not one of my favorites on the show.
This happened to be one of those moments when the song choice was too cheesy
and a bit over the top given the subject matter of the episode with Santana. I
have to appreciate Blaine for balancing out the song, but even that couldn’t
save it all the way.
6.) “I’m The Greatest
Star”
From the episode I
Am Unicorn
It’s great that in the third season, Glee stayed true to
presenting great songs from classical musicals. You already know my disdain for
Kurt’s singing voice, but this song took it too far. The only other thing I can
say about this can best be described in one word: uncomfortable.
5.) “Ben”
From the episode Michael
Of all the great Michael Jackson songs, really???!!!
4.) “I Have Nothing”
From the episode Dance
With Somebody
I really don’t mean to be so harsh towards Kurt, but this is
one of my all-time favorite Whitney Houston songs….enough said.
3.) “The Rain In
Spain”
From the episode Choke
This song choice sounds like it WOULD be a good idea for the
scene, but again like most moments that I don’t like on the show, it seemed
unnecessary and uncomfortable.
2.) “Jolene”
From the episode I
Kissed A Girl
Coach Beiste is one of my favorite Glee characters, but this
was an awful choice for her on the show. The content works, but they could have
done better to find a more suitable song for her voice.
1.) “A Little Less
Conversation”
From the episode The
Spanish Teacher
And I thought Mr. Schuester embarrassed himself enough with
all of those ridiculous rap covers he’s done. Well there goes Glee proving me
wrong once again!
