[Macfanforever]

thanks Iwill be tuned in.

The songs leaked. Listened to them all, they're all pretty faithful, but the real life actress who's singing Songbird fails horribly, imo.

Go Your Own Way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Icg...el_video_title (reminds me of Carrie Underwood's version....)
Don't Stop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ1UYtccEcA

I Don't Want To Know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGVh1nBLbxs

First Listen! All The Tracks From Next Week's Stevie Nicks-Inspired Glee!
Filed under: Music Minute > Kristin Chenoweth > Stevie Nicks > Glee > Lea Michele > Matthew Morrison


One full hour, nothing but Stevie Nicks. Let that sentence sink in…

Oh why oh why couldn't this be the 90 minute episode???

We're going to tell you right now, whether you were a Stevie and Fleetwood Mac lover before this or not, you are going to simply adore the music next week on Glee. If they pull this off the way we think they are going to pull this off, this might end up being one of our favorite episodes to date! Just listening to the music is giving us the chills!!!

For the first time in the show's history, Glee will perform songs from a singular album. In this case, it will be Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, one of the best albums ever recorded in all of musical time. (Ok, we might be a tinsy bit elated about this!)

We have ALL the songs for you here and you should listen to ALL of them! We'd tell you which is our favorite, but we can't - it's like picking a favorite child. We can't! WE JUST CAN'T!!!

Calming down…

Anyway, first have a listen to Kristin Chenoweth belt out a divine rendition of Dreams with Matthew Morrison in the video (above). Then, click the jump to hear Kevin McHale sing Never Going Back, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron singing Don't Wanna Know, Naya Rivera singing Songbird, the New Directions performing Don't Stop and, hold your breath, Lea Michele singing Go Your Own Way.

Enjoy Gleeks! Let your ears bask in this melodic heaven!

I wish Perez Hilton had actually said that it is a Fleetwood Mac episode. Rumours is not a Stevie Nicks album. Go Your Own Way and Never Going Back Again? Ummmm... Lindsey!!

[UndoingTheLaces]

When Kristen sings "It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams" I can't help but be reminded of Lucy Lawless singing "It's only a flour tortilla, used to wrap around your meat now."

[WildHearted]

Just like karaoke versions. Would have been cool if they would have tried something new with the songs, like they used to before all the show cared about was Kurt and making $$$$.

[Josh2003]

So far, they all sound great to me.

I love that Kristin Chenoweth is singing Dreams. PERFECT!

And I also love that they're doing I Don't Want to Know. That song doesn't get enough love.

Well. Huh.
I'm not sure how I feel about these. I'm very iffy on cover versions in general, so it's nothing against Glee or anything. They're not bad, just...different.
God, Songbird made me cringe though. It wasn't horrible, it's just that to me that is one song that should not be touched. In my opinion, it's the most gorgeous song on the face of the planet and it should be performed by Chris and only Chris. Anything else just seems wrong.
Oh well. I've never watched Glee before but I'm going to watch the episode anyhow to see what they do. Maybe I'll warm up to them if I listen to them again.

Like a YMLF and GDW mashup! A Dreams and Go Your Own Way mashup could've been interesting. I am loving Kristen Chenowith though!

The songs are usually much better when you see them in the context of the show and the performances.

[Heartboy]

Lordy, between this & the new album, am I the only one that wants to wait?

This place sucks right now!

[GoldDustBoy]

I am sorry, but they sound awful. There is absolutely no emotion in any of the songs. Technically, all of them sound decent, but their singing sounds like bad acting. That is exactly the problem of music today. The only positive thing about this show is that they may motivate the younger audience to check out some really great old music. I'll be watching this episode just because of Fleetwood Mac.

Exactly.

I couldn't even make it more than a few lines into I Don't Want To Know. That one was the worst to me for some reason - I couldn't tolerate it.

I love Kristen Chenoweth singing Dreams. Normally I am not a fan of most Stevie or Mac cover songs, but I love Kristen Chenoweth and I think she did a great job on this!

Would someone explain the basic premise of this show to me? I have never seen an episode, and don't want to be completely lost on May 3. Thanks.
