‘Glee’ Goes Gaga—Listen To A Gleeked-Out “Bad Romance” And “Poker Face”

Glee Lady GagaWe already know that the fashion in the upcoming Lady Gaga-centric episode of Glee is going to be epic (Chris Colfer and Jenna Ushkowitz certainly look more like Gaga than these drawings do), but what about the music? Listen to the cast sing “Bad Romance” and Lea Michele and 15-year-older-doppelganger Idina Menzel duet on “Poker Face” below. Glee, Glee, ooh la la!

Glee Cast feat. Idina Menzel - Poker Face

Glee Cast - Bad Romance

We really love the stripped down version of “Poker Face”—it’s obviously inspired by Gaga’s own acoustic version of her hit dance song, but is different enough that is doesn’t feel like a direct rip-off, which, unfortunately, is how “Bad Romance” comes across.

As catchy and fun as that song still is (and we can’t wait to see how they recreate the video, which we’re almost certain they will), this recording is way too Auto-Tuned and overproduced for our taste—couldn’t they have put a glee club spin on the track (much like this brilliant group of guys did) instead of just recreating the original?

We have that same complaint for many of the songs performed on the show, that most don’t add anything new to the original track they’re covering. Just imagine what the American Idol judges would say to such a lack of creativity when reinterpreting a song! For now, we’re giving you a “Contestant” t-shirt, Glee, but you still have time to earn an “Artist” shirt in the future!

    PLease correct this post. Idina Menzel is NOT 15. She might be like 35. She has been married for a few years to Taye Diggs & they sut had a son together.

    I ust checked. Idina will be 39 @ the end of this year. Since 1996 she had been dating Taye Diggs. They married in 2003. Their son Walker was born this past December.

    To the above poster, the post says the “15-year-older-doppelganger Idina Menzel,” meaning that Menzel is 15 years older than Lea Michele and not actually 15 herself. This post does not need correcting.

    It says fifteen-year-OLDER not fifteen-year-old, so it’s still correct, I believe.

  6. Good arthicle, it has a really good content, in my opinion the only thing it lacks of is a tranlate tool! Also see mine at http://www.bestpokernodepositbonus.blogspot.com it has some good content like this but it talks about free poker bankrolls!And leave your opinion there like I did here of flaws and good things that it has!
