Glee: Warning negative review!

      It strikes me as incredibly unappealing granted I haven't fully watched one episode of it.  I tried, but couldn't even get through the first one, and so while my roommate has it on while I watch Running Man.   I suppose the story is okay covering topics on sexuality (?)  The whole idea of being in high school seriously did not appeal to me though having not enjoyed high school.  Anyways, story aside, covering popular songs bothers me most.

From here on "Original" is just a title to contrast from "Glee."  It may not be the 1st interpretation of a song.
  
Particularly:   Renditions of "All that Jazz" from Chicago.

Compare this "Glee" version to the movie:

                                                 Catherine Zeta Jones is smoking HOT!!!
                                             
Completely out of context which one seems better?
Personally: the second.    Then again I am speaking on a bias (who isn't?).  I knew about Glee before I watched Chicago but I actually watched Chicago.

I know I am taking this out of context, but I am evaluating these videos as Youtube presents it: as a music video of its own.  I say that the Glee version doesn't measure up.

I know that even the movie version isn't the "original," but Glee's version sucks overall.

Another f***'d up "Glee" version:

Original:

Gangnam style by Psy

Clearly one is better than the other.

1) Glee does not introduce a person to new music.  It only utilizes popular music for its own purposes. I never heard of a Glee rendition of Daft Punk music as of 1/26/2013.
2) Glee is an organization or cast of people represented as a show that degrades popular music.  I don't like the fact that Glee profits off of using popular music on a large scale compared to individuals doing Youtube Covers.  This regurgitation of everyday popular music makes the songs/show stale.
3) I don't like the fact that people actually prefer to listen to the Glee version.  Why?  Because when the Glee production crew interprets popular music, they add in a popular music twist to it thus normalizing the music to the age.  i.e. When you listen to the original interpretation of "Gangnam style" or "All the Jazz"(movie or broadway records) or Queen songs, you can see that they are all different than when they are presented on Glee.

"Original":  "Piece of my Heart"  by Janis Joplin.

            There is a CLEAR difference here.  Janis Joplin is known for her voice which I think is throaty, and rock hard.  Clearly a singer for a particular genre.  However, the glee project destroys "Piece of my Heart" with a probably auto tuned voice common for pop songs.

A Little Word of Wisdom from Everybody's favorite:

Simon Cowell

I hate Simon Cowell, but he does make a point in this video.  "It is a wrong thing to do to impersonate a boy band that no longer matters," he said.  True.  This generation is ready for something new.  For someone who constantly judges these singing competitions, it must be tiring to constantly hear the same rotation of pop song covers good or bad.  And for those who win, it is important to realize that there are many good singers in this world-that isn't uncommon.  Those singers should learn to create for themselves.  Likewise, instead of ripping off someone else's, Glee should create their own music.
