Have they destroyed the legacies of any other artists? I think some fans are worried about FM having any association with Glee, but the hubbub around the special eps tends to die down pretty quickly. They will rarely be mentioned in the same breath two weeks after it airs. No catastrophe here.
And it will introduce a whole new generation to the music, drum up some enthusiasm, and very possibly make Lindsey and Stevie want to take advantage of the interest they know is coming. Our philosophical fairy is doubtless seeing commercial gods on the horizon.
Agreed. The Glee soundtracks have sold spectacularly--many, many people really love their music. Even if we think they massacre the songs, plenty of people will buy Glee's version and the original.
I can't say I love the production on Glee (too much autotune), but the show has some fantastic singers. Though not exceptional, the music is fairly consistently good.

Yes, I agree with all of this!
Obviously, no one likes to hear their favorite songs done injustice, but in the long run - even if their covers aren't so great - all this episode could ever do is bring FM attention (specifically in a younger generation that probably isnt familiar with them). And, who knows, maybe they'll do a really good job!
As for how many songs they usually sing.. this season, they've done anywhere from 4-11, but not always full songs. They don't actually have time in the episode to do the entire album all the way through - episodes are generally around 40 minutes of actual screen time. However, if they wanted, and they've done it in the past, they will do some full songs and others only show a portion of it.
I'd bet that they'll probably only do about 6 or 7, with a few of those not being the entire song. That's just a guess though.
