Editorial Reviews

Like the High School Musical franchise, Glee became more than a TV show when several of its songs cracked the Hot 100, including the number four hit "Don't Stop Believing." That song kicks off this soundtrack, the first in a series of albums cataloging the music performed by the show's cast. Not all Glee members are created equal -- some castmates are far better actors than singers -- but this soundtrack has enough star power to keep things trucking along, especially when powerhouse alto Lea Michele takes the wheel. She sounds fantastic throughout, whether she's holding her own during a duet with Broadway queen Kristin Chenoweth, or covering the likes of Jordin Sparks, Avril Lavigne, and Queen. The soundtrack is mostly a vehicle for her voice, yet it also gives ample stage time to Matthew Morrison, who downplays his own Broadway career by rapping on two different tracks. Tuneful performances by Mark Salling (the Neil Diamond-loving jock) and former boy band member Kevin McHale (the wheelchair-bound Artie) also point to the fact that Glee is an ensemble production in disguise, but Lea Michele still receives top billing, as she sings circles around most of the pop stars whose music is featured here.

November 26, 2009: This is an amazing CD, and well worth the eight bucks. (I think that's relatively cheep) The cast all have such amazing voices, it's unbelievable. In some of the songs, they sound like the original artist. Great buy....trust me.

That's Glee for you...by Jayne1955

November 04, 2009: It's catchy, harmless fun, and I recommend it, but I do think it's a bit Rachel-heavy. Lea has a great voice, but she's not the only one on the show who has fans. Some of the choices for Cory are not his strongest moments. If you like the show, though, you'll like the CD. It was a bit disconcerting to me to find Defying Gravity on there, since that episode hasn't even aired as of the start of sales, but if you're used to the pop version and not the stage version, you should b happy to see it. (Check out my recommendation on that note!) As a soundtrack it serves the purpose, and I can't wait for the next volume.
