geebsIts Friday, so that means its the weekly Glee music pre-release. Couple of Bieber songs in this batch, Rolling Stone has the exclusive on Somebody To Love, hear the rest here. "Baby" was supposed to be on Bieber's official site, but apparently not.
"Somebody To Love", by Justin Bieber and Usher, is performed by Artie and Sam. Sounds like a perfectly fine rendition of the original.
Lauren has her first solo with "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses. Some people are kinda pissed at that, given Tina still has had only one solo release and now here's yet another non main character getting a song. Of course, there are people who also says it sounds terrible. I actually think she's doing a proper rendition of the song, that's just what the song sounds like! Its not like this was some classic piece of music. It was originally done by a group called "The Waitresses"!
Then, there's "Take Me or Leave Me" from Rent performed by Rachel and Mercedes. On the one hand, I can see why Rach is doing it, since she's practically Idina Junior. On the other hand, I'd like to know the context of this performance, since Rachel and Mercedes aren't going out or anything. Anyways, given this is one of the more popular Rent songs, its bound to have a lot of people holding it to a higher standard. I think the girls do a real good job at it. I can see the complaints though. While I don't feel this way, there are some who feel it lacks the passion of the original, since they're not singing it as if they are some couple frustrated with each other. Heh, plus it seems like they're only doing Maureen's lines! Unless I've gone insane, I didn't hear any of Joanne's lines in there at all, since I don't recall Rachel or Mercedes singing about looking before they leap or making lists in their sleep.
Finally, we have My Chemical Romance's "Sing". Which is a Rachel/Finn led New Directions number. It sounds pretty good. And I realize its been a while since we've had one of those.
