It has come to my attention that Glee officially came out over 8 years ago, so to commemorate this, I decided to write share 10 of my favorite Glee Covers. Whether it be of a popular song, a not so popular song, you name it, here are some of my favorites (in no particular order).
10. Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson
The Michael Jackson episode, Season 3, Episode 11: "Michael" was especially exceptional. I remember sitting on the edge of my seat loving every moment of it. I could probably put all of the songs from that episode in here, but let's give the rest of the articles their chances.
9. Glad You Came, The Wanted
Although all of the competition episodes gave me anxiety, the Warblers (even without Darren Criss) are just so talented, you can't look away. This is from Season 3, Episode 13: "On My Way".
8. Somebody that I Used to Know, Gotye, Feat. Kimbra
This episode was particularly thrilling because it was about Blaine's past. In Season 3, Episode 15 "Big Brother", Season 3 clearly was a favorite season in my eyes. Surprisingly, I knew this version of the song before I heard the original on the radio.
7. It's Not Right But It's Okay, Whitney Houston
Season 3, (are you surprised?) Episode 17: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", the Whitney Houston episode, 10/10 would recommend. This was a huge moment for Klaine. Their rough patch was in full force.
6. Single Ladies, Beyonce
Seriously a classic. Bringing it all the way back to Season 1, Episode 4: "Preggers". This was one of the first of many group numbers. I know they're not actually singing it in this video and Beyonce is, but Kurt did a bomb job singing Single Ladies in his room (also another classic episode) in Season 1.
5. River Deep, Mountain High, Tina Turner
From Season 2, Episode 4: "Duets", Will puts together what he thinks will be an unlikely pair and then they end up killing it at the end of the week. I don't think I've ever heard the original because I don't think anything can top this cover.
4. I'm a Slave 4 U, Britney Spears
Season 2, Episode 2 "Brittany as Britney Spears", where I finally started to notice the beauty that was Brittany S. Pierce. Not only was every single song absolutely to die for, Brittany looks absolutely amazing, and John Stamos guest starts on the episode which is always a huge plus.
3. It's My Life/Confessions, Bon Jovi/Usher
Some classic bromance stuff from Season 1 Episode 6, "Vitamin D". I also haven't included a mashup, and this is one of my favorites.
2. Keen Holdin' On, Kelly Clarkson
This was the episode where Quinn told Finn she was pregnant with his baby (liar). Season 1, Episode 7: "Throwdown". The harmonies in this group number just give me child, and the song is so uplifting as it is. Anything with Cory Monteith is just so much more powerful now that he's gone, Rest In Peace.
1. Teenage Dream (Acoustic Version), Katy Perry
Saving the best for last, obviously. From Season 4, Episode 4: "The Breakup". The first version was what hooked me onto Blaine, but this one is just so much more heart wrenching, especially considering the circumstance he and Kurt's relationship was in at that point in the show.
If you remember all of these episodes, comment below your favorite one!!!
