I haven't watched it yet, but it's more likely that Fleetwood Mac would have been mentioned rather than Stevie.

No amount of Billboard chart figures will ever take away or diminish the integrity of the original artists and recordings. Additionally, the cast almost always mentions the original artist in the show.

I believe Glee is well written and has actual cultural value, unlike most of the garbage that is on TV.

I don't understand why the charting of their songs should be stomach turning.

Agreed, completely.

Landslide was also used in a way that was beautiful and true to the original intent of the song.

How in the world is any of this a bad thing?

Also. Come on. We got the line, "...teaching Santana and Brittany how to get their Stevie Nicks on" when talking about both emotional baring and sexual fluidity? HOW IS THIS NOT THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED?

Sounds awesome. I'll probably watch it tonight.

Yes. Stevie was mentioned n the final scene as likeawillow described.

I happened to catch the performance last night while flipping through the channels. Not bad, but not my favorite version of the song. I'm not a huge Glee fan - I should love it, it should be my thing. But it's just not.

It's hilarious. You'll love it

the song has been up to #6 for awhile now, I bet it charts on top 40

Admittedly, I have never seen this show (don't know why b/c it seems as though I would love it) but what's with all of the meaningful looks. It's always funny to me how stupid actors look when you don't know what is happening in a storyline:

And good lord, Gwyneth is singing all over the place lately, in't she?

The two young girls have been 'friends with benefits' I guess you could say for basically the entirety of the show... in this episode they were trying to work out their actual feelings and confusion regarding their sexuality (mainly Santana was struggling with this) etc. Gwyneth's character was counseling them and suggested they sing a song to express their feelings... Santana said she knew what song to sing.... and it was somehow Landslide.

I don't think it's unexpected that it was Landslide. The song is about taking a critical look at where your life is headed and how your relationship may or may not factor into that. Santana needed to take a critical look at her feelings for Brittany and decide if they were worth taking on the stigma of a non-straight sexuality. She decided they were. It's an incredibly mature and intense decision and the use of Landslide to guide her through it was beautiful.

The girl who was crying did a good job, she brought emotion into that. I guess they did the Chicks version to give the other two girls an excuse to sing.

Oh I loved it.. I thought the song was used in the best context it could've been regarding "Glee" and their story-lines.. And loved the Stevie line they used.. Me and my GF have been big Glee fans for a while and I thought it was only a matter of time before Stevie and/or Fleetwood Mac got a mention..

Now all that is needed is Blaine from the warblers to sing Edge of 17 to Kurt lol
