Choose a Side: Original Song vs. Glee Cover! (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna)

[@smithsunleashed]

As a huge gleek, I'm disappointed with the song choices. Especially not picking the 1st version of Don't Stop Believing. I want y'all to do this again

[@cman996]

You didn’t even pick the best version of Toxic, the unholy trinity.

[@MHruskamusic]

@@cman996 they didn’t even pick the best version of a lot of them!

[@jalissareyes166]

The only reason I clicked on this was because I thought they were gonna do the Unholy Trinity version of Toxic!

[@nwvr-za]

I was so waiting for 'Smooth Criminal'. you can't beat Michael Jackson, but their rendition of it in Glee was mind blowing and by far my favourite performance out of every episode. Now I have to go watch it again for another 100 times. Thanks for opening the rabbit hole of glee videos. Lol

[@KevinThompson-bq9vh]

They picked all the wrong covers. Where was Last Friday Night, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, So Emotional. Santana’s cover of Valerie is fire

[@doctorslayer2106]

It's a Crime that they never added Naya Rivera's Rendition of If I Die Young for me it's one of the saddest cover of the show and Thank You Naya for giving us your unbreakable voice and talent your simply one of a kind

[@G3mini_92]

Cough Syrup..Smooth Criminal..Songbird..At Last..We Are the Champions!! So many better Glee covers to choose from and this was the selection? Who made this list?

[@dremienchanted1878]

not choosing Cough Syrup is a CRIME. also, not a SINGLE version of Don't Rain on My Parade?? not a single Mercedes solo song? nah, this wasn't a fair comparison

Smooth Criminal, Stronger, If I Were a Boy SO many better song choices. Take the comment's suggestions and do a part 2 to this!

Her saying that she doesn’t know why Blaine didn’t sing more on the show when he had like a solo in every episode that he was in baffles me to no end.

Yeeeeees! Worst

The top Glee cover/mash up for me has to be Rumor Has It/Someone Like You. Naya and Amber ATEEEEEEEEE so hard. Anything that had Naya and Amber singing in it was amazing tbh 🫶🏾

[@JadaytheVOC]

The covers used in this video were some of their worst, why would you use so many of the Mr Schue covers, even us gleeks think they are some of the worst ones. Really missed the trick on this one. Hopefully we get a part 2 with better covers. Like smooth criminal, La isla bonita, nutbush city limits, mine, that boy is mine, bust your windows, landslide etc. like there were better songs

[@queenrayray88]

YES!!!! REACT team you need to do a second part and include these songs!!! I’ll Stand by You (Mercedes version) ESPECIALLY needs to be included.

I searched for this comment and this comment only. Thank you!

[@thenvie]

if you actually wanted Glee to win you would've hit them with Smooth Criminal, Rumour Has It/Someone Like You, River Deep Mountain High, Me Against The Music, Back To Black, Mine, the later season acoustic version of Teenage Dream, Animal, Misery, Raise Your Glass, Nutbush City Limits, If I Die Young, 4 Minutes, Born This Way, Rolling In The Deep... Good choices on Valerie, Rose's Turn, Somewhere Only We Know, and Teenage Dream though, the Glee versions were perfect. and y’all did the trash Will Schuester version of Toxic instead of the goated Unholy Trinity version whyyyy exactly??

[@thenvie]

also y'all are GOATEDDDD for including Run Joey Run. that shit was iconic and is STILL on my shuffle

[@thenvie]

bugged me that they dumped the slushie over her head instead of throwing it in her face like on the show. that wasn't getting slushied, that was getting slimed with slushies haha

[@lucashamasaki5475]

You needed better Glee songs tbh. Then you might be able to change minds and lives. But also the girl who said Blaine should’ve had more songs DEFINITELY didn’t watch much Glee. In fact, I wish we had had more real Gleek there too.

I never fully watched a Glee episode but i know there are way better covers than those you choose 😂

No Effort into this. If you would make it really interesting you could choose so much better songs from Glee, you even choose the bad version of Toxic. Plus, there are a lot of songs where it could be very interesting to have a little context to it. Like Cough Syrup, it takes my breath because I immediately knew what was about to happen.

I get that the songs picked are mostly iconic and mostly everyone can agree that the originals are better but poor Glee did not even stand a chance because majority hated them before they even started playing! And what's with comparing the video scenes.... Glee was a TV show that used the songs to fill a story line so yeah, the artist's videos are going to represent their own song better.
