Fleetwood Mac Glee Episode on May 3rd

[Bandon]

It looks like the Fleetwood Mac episode of Glee will air May 3rd according to the Nicklive site.

[MacShadowsBall]

Awesome! :thumbsup: Though I'm off work the day before and the day after! I'll have it recorded on the same disc I got Stevie's Oprah episode.

[mylittledemon]

Thanks Bandon! Now I know to not have the TV on that day!

[caroline79]

I might watch it, haven't decided yet. Nothing against Glee it's just not something I really care about.

You posted this in Stevie's hood! ;)

I don't blame you because I am toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

It is worth watching. They do a fantastic job with the music and mashups. The Madonna episode was brilliant.

Hmm...perhaps I will. I don't watch a lot of tv and I've never seen it before but my brother loves it.

[WildHearted]

It's official! These are the songs they are singing:

Don’t Stop
I Don’t Want To Know
Dreams
Songbird
Never Going Back Again
Go Your Own Way

I would have guessed as much.

I can't believe they are not doing The Chain and YMLF! :(

[MacShadowsBall]

Where did you get this info?

[Artemis]

Where did you get this info?

It's on Wikipedia which has links to Amazon selling each of those songs as singles from May 6th onwards.

I'm not surprised at the song list apart from IDWTK! Very pleased they're giving that song a run out.

I didn't expect them to sing Second Hand News, You Make Loving Fun, Oh Daddy or Gold Dust Woman at all anyway, although, I would have liked to have seen the Chain in there somewhere. Ditto, Silver Springs.

Maybe they'll do what they did in the Madonna episode and have the songs they don't sing play somewhere in the episode anyway.

[MacShadowsBall]

I'm on the wikipedia page for the Rumours episode and I don't see it...:shocked:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumours_(Glee)

I checked Amazon doing a Mp3 search for Glee and didn't see any FM songs listed! :eek:

http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1303587561/ref=sr_pg_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=Glee&rh=n%3A163856011%2Cn%3A%21624868011%2Ck%3AGlee%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A625151011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A625151011&page=1

Anywho, I Don't Want to Know and Never Going Back Again are I guess the surprises, though I suppose the first one is kinda a fun karoke/sing-a-long type song.

[Artemis]

Check here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Glee_%28season_2%29 and the sources they cite :)

[mezzoforte]

Very surprised we're not getting the Chain or GDW (I still think Santana would do an awesome GDW).
At first I was a little surprised by IDWK--I mean, only 1 of the 15 pop critics surveyed even remembered it was on Rumours. But after thinking about it, it's probably one of the songs best suited to their voices/style.

I'll bet anything Kurt does Songbird!

[MacShadowsBall]

Check here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Glee_%28season_2%29 and the sources they cite :)

Perhaps I need a loooong vacation, but I still don't see it! :lol:

Thanks anyway,:angel: at least its confirmed. I've been busy on the internet finding out about the new "Dark Shadows" movie and about ABC's stupid decision to cancel both All My Children and One Life to Live. I've run across so many inaccurate "facts" with no sources but what "somebody heard that somebody read on some site that...."

[MacwoodFleet]

It's official! These are the songs they are singing:

Don’t Stop
I Don’t Want To Know
Dreams
Songbird
Never Going Back Again
Go Your Own Way

I would have guessed as much.

I'm impressed with the songs they chose. But no The Chain? Personally I would much rather hear You Make Loving Fun over Don't Stop, but it's cool that they are considering "The Other Landslide" (Songbird).

[WildHearted]

Yeah, but I think that they really needed a big group number and 'Don't Stop' definitely fits the bill for that one.

[DoubtfulMiracle]

So excited to see them do NGBA and IDWK! The rest are pretty obvious choices, but looking forward to seeing them nonetheless. Like others, disappointed they couldn't squeeze in The Chain, but then I'm greedy.

And I do like that they've chosen two songs from each of our beloved songwriters, so there's no arguing :p

And well done to whoever first found the songs :thumbsup: (For anyone who likes to see things with their own eyes - search Amazon mp3 downloads for any of the six songs along with 'glee cast' in the search term and they'll pop up.)

[MacShadowsBall]

I found em!!!! :blob2:

wow Glee sure have done a lot of songs!

[WildHearted]

I'm actually GLAD they didn't touch The Chain. I don't think it would have ended well.

[Mac_Man_Dan]

[LiquidDiamonds]

I just saw the promo and Rachel was singing Go Your Own Way.

[TrueFaith77]

If they aren't doing the whole album, they should have just done a Mac episode. lame.

I agree a mac episode would have been great! ! Gypsy...Little Lies...

[Heartboy]

I just saw the promo and Rachel was singing Go Your Own Way. I wasn't that impressed so far! :shrug:

[WildHearted]

I wasn't that impressed so far! :shrug:

I didn't like it much either :/

[kak125]

i really liked dreams but they didnt need that one dude singing. the girl does a great job though. is that lea michelle singing?
also i dont want to know is excellent. love it!!

[Mac_Man_Dan]

i dont watch glee, i dont intend to either...but after listening to the covers theyve done....dont they just sound like a identical to original karaoke attempt???????? surely thats not the point ????

also, will they explain all about fleetwood mac in the episode or have no comments and scenes about them at all and just play the songs??????????

[KenshiMaster16]

Usually what happens in a Glee episode, is it starts out with something going on with the kids and/or teachers lives that then inspire them to cover and learn about a certain artist/genre/era. So, I'm sure people will be breaking up or emotions and rumors running high and they'll be like "Hey, what about the Rumours album?" and then each song will directly affect one kid or couples current situation so that it ties together. Think of it as a giant musical that likes to act one half teen soap opera and another half attempting to get kids to broaden their musical horizons.

[ButterCookie]

I consulted the girlfriend. Apparently Santana is the one doing Songbird. She's really fit. I'm cool with this.

Hell has frozen over today. These are actually completely tolerable. Dreams is actually, dare I say it, good.

[Heartboy]

Exactly!:thumbsup:

I'm not going to listen to those snips until next week!

'Go Your Own Way' from Rachel sounded scary, so far! :shrug::lol::eek:

[MacShadowsBall]

Just a few hours away from Glee! Anybody watching? I'm at work and get off when its over! :(

[Dodfather]

Dreams is actually, dare I say it, good.

That's because Kristin Chenoweth can sing anything. She is incredible. From The West Wing to Glee via Broadway - excellent!

[Heartboy]

Awwww! That Bites!

I Can't Wait! :]

I've have to watch it online tomorrow.

[sleepless child]

I thought Dreams was really nice, but I love their version of Never Going Back Again. Loved the guitars at the end.

[Keith]

interesting. but why don't they just play the songs from the record like they did with "The Chain." That was cool.. I do like the continued "Fleetwood Mac" references and dug seeing the Rumours cover.

I liked "Songbird"

[jcalzaretta]

FM/Rumours is getting amazing airplay on this show. Love the reference in the beginning to say that it is one of the greatest records ever. Love that they sang IDWTK. I hope this finally gets Rumours into the 20M sales mark. Been stuck at 19M for way too long.

I think you're missing the point of the show. :shocked:

[bucklind17]

I don't really like Glee but I thought they did the songs justice! I especially like Rachel/Lea Michele's "Go Your Own Way" and "Never Going Back Again". They managed to make the songs fit the plot too. Not too bad and if this episode makes some people discover the Mac, well, it's a success.

[elle]

fleetwood mac still trending on twitter right now - not too bad...

[caroline79]

I thought their version of "I Don't Want To Know" was awesome! I can't stop listening to it! Very Mac sounding :D "Never Going Back Again" was also pretty good.

That being said, I wasn't a big fan of the others. I felt "Dreams" was really lacking. I'm not crazy about "Go Your Own Way" being sung by a girl. (I said that to my mother who replied, "wasn't the original sung by a girl?" What?!? And she calls herself a fan! :lol:) And I could not stand "Don't Stop"....

But yes if this generates new Mac fans then hooray!!

[WildHearted]

I liked Dreams only because Kristen Chenoweth is absolutely phenomenal.

Go Your Own Way was bad (I really like Lea Michele but meh), and Don't Stop was typical and cheesy, and Never Going Back Again was promising until they kicked in the drums and other guitars and ruined the song imo.

I Don't Want to Know was worst of all, imo. Hearing it REALLY made me appreciate the chemistry Stevie and Lindsey have when they sing together... there was technically nothing wrong with the Glee version, they did all of the harmony's pretty much spot on to the original, but it didn't FEEL right. It lacked energy and life. I was cringing.

I understand what you mean. I'm so attached to these songs and the chemistry and stories that are behind them, so it's hard for me to want to hear someone else sing them. I liked IDWTK the most because I think it's the one that sounds the closest to the original and I like that a lot :thumbsup:

[Heartboy]

I liked Dreams only because Kristen Chenoweth is absolutely phenomenal.



I hope she does the song justice, unlike she did with Heart's 'Alone'! Noone can top Ann Wilson with that song so I feel the same way about Stevie's 'Dreams'!:nod:

BTW, you guys are killing me, I still have another hour to go! :]

Oh, she didn't top Stevie, obviously... she just did a fine job with the cover.

[Richard B]

How funny. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours just trumped Stevie Nicks' In Your Dreams in the Top 10 iTunes albums. Rumours is at #4 thanks to the Glee episode.

[Villavic]

It will take a few weeks to air it in LatinAmerican Fox channel

So if you find out it's posted in youtube, please share the link or tell us when this happens ;)

[Heartboy]

Color me impressed!:cool:

They did a great job!:)

I like how they thru 'The Chain' into the episode.

I feel bad for Sam, Chord Overstreet is so cute! His Dad is a country singer, he had a hit in the 80's with Tanya Tucker & Paul Davis.

[wildheart048]

I thought they did a great job, personally (but I must admit to really enjoying the show) I thought all of the songs were done well, but especially Never Going Back Again and Go Your Own Way...
I do love Kristen C...but someone should give that gurl a sandwich! I thought she was going to break!
Loved the interweaving of The Chain throughout...

[Dodfather]

I liked Dreams only because Kristen Chenoweth is absolutely phenomenal.




She can do anything! From The West Wing to Glee via Broadway. She is awesome.

[SuzeQuze]

Well Mac gets to go "cha ching" again! Rumours is the best retirement fund ever. ;) I'm so happy for them and psyched that Glee did such a wonderful job with these songs. I also liked Never Going Back Again, the extra guitars give it a richness. I like hearing Matthew's harmonies on Dreams and thought Kristin did a really good job with it. All of the songs were good, I'm going to have to download my first Glee songs I am thinking. I'm a fan of the show but have never downloaded any of their songs. Rock on FM!

Give her a sandwich and tanning rehab. She's so beautiful but the overtan is distracting.

[markolas]

I'm a Glee fan as well - but the only song I've ever downloaded was Kurt & Blaine's rendition of Baby, It's Cold Outside. Anyway...I thought the Glee Rumours songs were all great, but especially Dreams, NGBA, and I Don't Want to Know. And I'm glad this album is getting some attention from a demographic that probably wasn't that familiar with it (if at all) - putting all the hype aside, it really is a great album.

[jcalzaretta]

Rumours is now number 3 on Itunes. IYD at 5. This is amazing.

[kak125]

Fleetwood Mac Spread Their Cokey Rumours All Over Glee
by Mof Gimmers on May 4, 2011 0 Comments

in Music News,News,TV News

Fleetwood Mac are more soap opera than band. They’ve taken so much cocaine that even listening to one of their LPs will erode your septum, leaving you looking like Michael Jackson in a sauna.

It is because of this that they still transfix us all. They’ve made some cool tunes, all had ill-advised sex with each other and generally disappeared up their own anuses for us all to titter at.

And now, they’ve made a little history (not seismic history you understand, rather, a slither of TV trivia) by becoming the first group to have an episode entirely devoted to one of their albums. Of course, no-one is stupid enough to devote a whole show to Tusk or Tango In The Night. We’re talking about Rumours, obviously.

The episode sees Schuester (Matthew Morrison) assigning his students the task of covering the whole album, which of course, sees the New Directions (comprised of Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, Dianna Agron, Kevin McHale, guest star Kristin Chenoweth, Ronald Reagan’s ghost, a laughing tree, three eggs, a wistful cow and a rapping papier mache simian) singing ‘Dreams’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Go Your Own Way’ and the like.

All the while, the TV show couldn’t even hope to get close to the tension and ridiculous goings-on that surrounded the recording of the classic album.

The songs of love and betrayal may sound smoother than a freshly waxed leg, but rest assured, in those grooves, you’ve basically got a band that are spelling out just how much they hate each other. It’s not so much a cryptic tale of yearning and deceit, rather, a raw, open letter to each other telling each band member exactly how they feel.

And then there’s Mick Fleetwood’s testicles on the album cover. Amazing.

If you thought this album was omnipresent enough, then an appearance on Glee will introduce the group to a whole new generation of people, thereby ensuring that it will actually last forever, outliving mankind itself, to be latterly enjoyed by primate rulers in some bleak desolate land.

Rumours. The Rosetta Stone of our failing species.

[markolas]

Only thing that would've been better would've been Kurt singing You Make Loving Fun to Blaine. :D But maybe that would've been too risque for high school kids? :shrug:

[jcalzaretta]

What is interesting about the charts is that IYD is number 5 on itunes for the deluxe edition. The regular CD is number 26. So it is charting on its own for both versions. If that were treated as one, what would it be?

[AliceLover]

My 7th and 8th graders were talking about "rumours" today in school. One of my students even wrote a poem about the episode from last night. It was so much fun today, my cooperating teacher and I talked to them about Lindsey and Stevie and what that did for Rumours. I told all of them to go out and listen to it tonight!

[MacShadowsBall]

Now that's what we call spreading the Mac around!!! :thumbsup:

[LiquidDiamonds]

Not after they kissed a few weeks ago...:shrug:

[Dodfather]

I really love Glee most of the time but, other than Dreams (which was awesome - Kristen Chenoweth rules!) and Go Your Own Way I didn't love it. It was all a little too cheesy. I know, I know, how can Glee be too cheesy... I dunno, I just didn't love it. I really liked that they included I Don't Wanna Know though and they made sure to point out the meanness of it! That song never gets enough attention.

Rumor has it 'Glee' Was Fantastic

Darn you "Glee."

Just when I thought I would make it through an entire episode without crying, you got me at the end of Tuesday night's episode.

It was Fleetwood Mac night because rumors were flying ("Rumours" happens to be the title of a famous Fleetwood Mac album) about everything from Santana's sexuality to whether or not Mr. Schuester was planning to desert the kids and pursue his dream of being a Broadway star.

The show started with a pretty funny bit about Brittany's online show "Fondue for Two," which I would totally watch if she really hosted said show. We also got to meet her fat cat Lord Tubbington, who I thought stole every scene he was in with his genius mix of disdain and ambivalence.

Kristin Chenoweth returned as the tipsy April Rhoades, who enlists Will in helping her put together a Broadway show about her life. The pair clearly have the hots for each other (he appears to have gotten over Holly pretty quickly) and they also give us a glimpse of what could be the fate of Finn and Rachel if they don't get it together soon.

Speaking of the latter pair, Rachel tries to get Finn to commit to doing a duet with her at nationals and shows him a blind item in the school's "Muckraker" paper which suggests that Sam and Quinn are fooling around behind his back.

When they stake out Sam, they see Kurt coming out of a motel room with him. Wow. I'd almost forgotten Kurt was back.

Anywho, there was more possible betrayal where that came from as they later caught Quinn coming out of the same hotel room with Sam and embracing him. Meanwhile, Artie accurately figured out that Santana has been making a play for Brittany and called Brit stupid for not figuring out Santana's manipulative ways.

Kudos to Heather Morris as Brittany for showing us some serious depth of feeling this week. Her tears and disappointment with Artie as they broke up was first-rate.

As was the actress Naya Rivera, whose portrayal of closeted Santana has far surpassed what I expected. She really got me when she sang a tender version of "Songbird" to Brittany.

But what really turned on the waterworks was the revelation that Sam and his family are living in one room in a motel since his dad lost his job and their house was foreclosed on.

Turns out Kurt and Quinn were just pitching in to help Sam out with clothes and caring for his younger brother and sister. I was bawling right along with Sam by the time Rachel and Finn showed up at the hotel with clothing for Sam and his guitar he had pawned to earn money for his family.

I had a whole ball of tissue in my hand by the time everyone - Sam's adorable little brother and sister included - gathered on the school stage to sing "Don't Stop." Well played, "Glee."

Your thoughts on this week's "Glee"?

Screen Crave, May 4, 2011
http://screencrave.com/2011-05-04/glee-season-2-episode-19-rumours-tv-review/

The series’ first episode to cover an album, this week’s “Glee” covers Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 release Rumours. But what happens when rumors spread amongst the New Directions members? Find out in our review…


The Players:

Director: Tim Hunter
Writer: Ryan Murphy
Cast: Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Heather Morris, Amber Riley, Naya Rivera, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mark Salling, Matthew Morrison, Ashley Fink, Chord Overstreet, Harry Shum, Jr., Jayne Lynch, Kristen Chenoweth, Josh Sussman, Lauren Potter

Episode Title: “Rumours”
Sue causes mischief by publishing libel in the school newspaper and April returns seeking Will’s help with her latest project on Broadway. Will has mixed feelings about leaving New Directions. The glee club gains a whole new respect for Sam when they discover some interesting new information about his family life.

The Good:
Rumors and Backstabbing: Yes, we’re categorizing this as good. Why? Because we saw the devastating affects that lies, rumors, and deception can cause. Not only is it an unnecessary distraction, as Kurt points out, rumors are difficult for us to ignore. We wonder if they are true, breeding jealousy and resentment and breaking one another’s trust.

Rachel Quips: While Rachel and Finn spy on Sam and Quinn, they discuss why Finn even dates Quinn if he doesn’t trust her–”because you forgive your first love anyway,” Rachel suggests. We’re not sure if that’s true, but it was thought-provoking nonetheless.

Sam’s Family: The tearjerker of the night, the glee club’s ability to let go of their petty grudges and come together in support of their fellow classmate was touching.

The Bad:
April, Sue’s Fourth Minion: We don’t care if she is just there for the protein placenta margarita, it’s awkward to watch her plot and plan Will’s future with the two people that hate him most (Sue and Terry) while he unknowingly helps her with her musical.

Santana: She can’t seem to get her priorities straight. What does she want more: the title of prom queen? Brittany’s love? to conceal her secret? Regardless of what internal struggles she is having, she should be honest Brittany instead of pulling her around.

The Music:“Dreams,” Fleetwood Mac – April and Will’s duet really showcased April’s voice with a soft lilt instead of a harsh, raspy sound. The performance was energetic to make us smile without being cheesy or distracting, too.

“Never Going Back Again,” Fleetwood Mac – Artie sings, Puck, Sam and others play acoustic guitars. It’s always nice to hear Artie’s soft tenor voice, whether rapping or singing, but what really made this song great was the instrumental aspect.

“Songbird,” Fleetwood Mac – Santana’s solo to Brittany. We should’ve known that one of the songs would be a “Britana” dedication since the last song Santana sang to Brittany was “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac.

“I Don’t Want to Know,” Fleetwood Mac – Finn and Quinn’s duet, which perfectly expressed how they feel about each other amongst a cloud of rumors and doubts in one another. Mr. Shue encouraged them to smile next time, but we loved it!

“Go Your Own Way,” Fleetwood Mac – Rachel’s solo, directed at Finn, was the usual heartfelt, belted Rachel Berry solo. She put some feeling into the song, but it didn’t stand out tonight.

“Don’t Stop,” Fleetwood Mac – New Directions sings this song, presumably to Sam to show him their support. It’s a well-harmonized piece that is cheery and uplifting.

Overall:This week’s “Glee” showcased a landmark album (for the first time ever!) and the New Directions members experienced first-hand the emotional grief, wasted time and jealousy that surrounds rumors.

Rating: 8/10

Brittany is my favorite character. This line about her cat just cracked me up, and very much reminds me of my own fat cat.

[DigYourGrave]

Loved it... mainly because it has brought me back to my ledgies after a long absence!:)

[fleetwoodtrick]

Watching this episode was SOOOOO surreal haha. It just wouldn't register. Like when they were singing Never Going Back Again I was like wait what....is this real? hahah. But I thought it was great! But ahhh I still haven't watched Stevie on Oprah, I missed it!!! :o

[louielouie2000]

Ok, so I just gave up and listened to the music from the episode on youtube (I refuse to watch Glee). I'm shocked at how gorgeous and true to the originals the songs are. No wonder this one TV show episode single handedly got Rumours back on the album charts after all these years. I totally expected cheese, and these versions are not cheesy one iota. Count me as very impressed! :nod:

Me too, Louie. I was beyond impressed. I made my whole family watch the whole episode on demand!

[Villavic]

Finally they are airing right now Glee at Fox LatinAmerica. NGBA was fine. Didn't like Don't Stop. GYOW... humm.. didn't like either.

Dreams I like it, specially with the intro Fleetwood Mac! They fought all the time! There were affairs, divorces, whispers, gossip. All the stuff that make good bands break up, but they put all that drama to write great music..

Songbird is nice, but you have to take Christine sound out of your brain or this version will have no chance; well, actually that happens on all songs, except Don't Stop that I didn't like at all with original sounds out or not. I think I'll never like a cover of Don't Stop (Elton's cover in Legacy was a disaster imho).

I don't wanna know was good too.

Fortunately they didn't play GDW.
Well I think Glee is a good show, nice for young people. I don't watch it, I don't like that much, maybe cause I'm 45 and the story does not atract me. Cause some covers I do like it. I liked To Sir with love and the episode where Olivia sings Physical, but I guess those (with Rumours) have been the only episodes I've seen.

Glad they did a Fleetwood Mac episode anyway. Can't compare with the originals. Besides this is just a TV show, not an album production, nor a concert.
