Rumours will get the Glee Treatment!

[mezzoforte]

Honestly, I'm having a hard time understanding some of the histrionics. What's the worst that can happen? Even if they somehow manage to completely butcher the songs, I can't see that they'll ruin Rumours forever.
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.

But really, the hardcore Glee fans think most things they cover are amazing anyway.. so even if to US it sounds like crap, they'll probably still think it's good and want to hear the original.

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.
