Yes...small thing in life, I know..but he whole Glee covering songs, then these songs actually chart kinda bugs me, sad to say..Then when you look for the real song and see "Artist - Glee Cast"....ugh...

sorry..thats all..a little bored today, I guess.

Arbiter · May 2nd, 2012, 12:49 PM

Not a problem. The original artist gets a big shot of royalties and sometimes the kids/adults get exposed to some decent music they haven't heard before.

Win freakin' win, baby!

Plus some studio cats get work. Never forget that. If for no other reason than that, I'd be in favor.

TJNY · May 2nd, 2012, 12:51 PM

I'd have to watch it to care but I don't watch it.

Mjark · May 2nd, 2012, 12:52 PM

Doesn't bother me at all. It's great for the writer or rights holder. Some of the arrangements are cool too.

telleutelleme · May 2nd, 2012, 12:56 PM

No worse than the talent shows. 2 minutes after the performance it's available on itunes. Money flows, people work, all good. Beauty is we don't have to watch unless it interests us.

"Hey, everybody! Let's put on a show!" Where's Mickey Rooney when you need him?

Skub · May 2nd, 2012, 12:58 PM

Heh,when we play 'Don't stop believin' the kids think it's a modern song because they saw Glee do it.

Less $hitty boom-boom stuff to learn for me.

Rich_S · May 2nd, 2012, 01:00 PM

I watch Glee because my kids like it, so it's a "family TV night". Also, I have the hots for...

... All the red Kustom tuck and roll.

O- Fender · May 2nd, 2012, 01:18 PM

Doesn't bug me.

I find when I hear a cover or even a sample used in a new song, I think "hey, I haven't heard that in a while" and listen to the original.

Burnt Gerbil · May 2nd, 2012, 01:23 PM

Aside from the occasional commercial, I'm never exposed to Glee so it doesn't have a chance to bug me. The only time it did get under my skin was when it broke some chart record held by the Beatles and a few people decided that Glee was in fact better than the Beatles as a result.

Brad Pittiful · May 2nd, 2012, 01:56 PM

that show or their songs have no affect in my life

uriah1 · May 2nd, 2012, 02:04 PM

Glad we cleared that up.

My family has lost interest in Glee but it was a must-watch for the first two seasons. It opened the kids' ears to lots of great music.

tele-rain · May 3rd, 2012, 06:27 AM

Oops...deleted my original because I misunderstood the OP. That would indeed be annoying, because the original song should have top billing, so to speak. Butt I've given up on letting the state of today's music or pop culture bug me. Things will never go back to how we liked it, so we just have to find ways to seek what we like on our own.

As for the show, I thought the first two seasons were great but this one is lacking and all over the place.

krisls · May 3rd, 2012, 06:42 AM

I think those kids are great. I'm not an avid watcher but damn they can put a song and dance together. Yeah okay it helps to have a TV production studio in your back pocket, but even so.... Besides, they introduced me to stuff I didn't know, Don't Stop Believing for one, and I know who did it originally... after looking it up. The back story gets a bit lame at times, but the songs and arrangements are top notch.

I agree. My son is now getting into 70's and 80's music because of these shows (and me). Funny aside- my son was watching victorious on nickelodeon and was floored when I was singing along with the show. The episode was a remake of the breakfast club. The look on his face was great "dad, how do you know this song, it's brand new". Ummm, no son, it's 30 years old.

Often they cover songs better than the original.

Agreed.

The only thing that annoys me about glee now is that the music is the only thing good about the show...this season is a snore.

The first season in particular was great.

I think my wife and I annoy the crap out of our daughter when we sing a long with the songs on Glee. For the first season, she seemed surprised, like "wait, you guys know these songs?". Now she just rolls her teenage eyes, lol..

kelnet · May 3rd, 2012, 10:11 AM

Has the Glee cast covered Van Halen's "You Really Got Me," or Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light"?
