As I have been fortune enough to land the Glee club as my artist nomination, that leaves me stuck with a very nice dilemma as to which Glee cast song to send to the contest.

 

As is the Nonsuch way, I wont be using the USA#4, OZ#5 hit Don't Stop Believin', but I'm considering one of the following entries from the Glee, The Music soundtrack TV albums that wont be released in the UK until 2010, which is where I want your advice which I may or may not agree with.....

 

So in alphabetical order please cast your ears over the following and let me know your thoughts, etc....

 

Alone

 

Bust A Move

 

Bust Your Windows

 

Hate On Me

 

Somebody To Love

 

If I had to pick bust a move

If I had to pick... none of them : :magic:

Of those, easily Hate on Me. :wub:

 

But I personally prefer Don't Stop Believin', It's My Life / Confessions, Hair / Crazy in Love, and Halo / Walking on Sunshine.

I'm not sure that any of these will do particularly well as you don't really 'get' Glee until you watch it...listening to one of the songs out of context is like listening to the Peter Kay Children In Need single without having seen the video in my opinion...

 

I absolutely agree that this show is set to become a cultural phenomenon next year, and if you sent one of these songs in two months time, it would probably do very well, but seeing as I doubt many of the 50 or so participants here have seen the show yet, it might seem like you're choosing between a bunch of karaoke cover versions, which isn't the case at all after you've watched the programme, which is extremely original...

 

Alone is my personal favourite of the five but I haven't seen the episode it features in yet (only watched the pilot so far) so it doesn't mean a lot to me at the moment, it's hard to judge them musically alone for some reason...are there clips on youtube of them performing the songs instead of just the song and a picture?

Send Don't Stop Believin'. It's not cheap. And will do the best from any song from Glee.

As someone who is waiting for Glee to come to E4 next year, I agree. These songs don't mean much to me at the moment, but I'm sure they will soon.

 

I've voted for "Bust Your Windows", simply because it's the song of those I like the most. But I'd be more likely to vote for it if were the original as I think Jazmine sounds better. I've always been tempted to send a Jazmine Sullivan song as she's got so much better than "Dream Big", but I think that was her most BJSC friendly song and it flopped.

I much prefer Bust Your Windows to Dream Big (wasn't overly fond of the Daft Punk sample as I adore the original), although I wasn't a big fan of Jazmine's album on the whole :(

The only song I know is Don't Stop Believin' this would be a safe bet, the others I'm clueless I'm not brushed up on Glee yet.

Trust me, Don't Stop Believin' would NOT be cheap. If I had to choose though, it would either be Alone or Bust Your Windows...probably Alone? But DSB is the only one there that has a real WOW factor that can transcend the show.

Me too, I may have played "Dream Big" more than a lot of the album but I'd go as far as to say it's my least favourite track now. I think you should have stuck with the album. It took a while, but I think I love every track on there now. I really wanted to send "Call Me Guilty" at one point.

I hope so. Because from listening to a couple of these alone I do not see what the fuss is. Dreadful.

I think Siimon Cowell has just made it cheaper than cheap.

 

It looks like Glee will be dead in the water for Nonsuch BJSC XXII. :angry:

Simon Cowell has made me want to put a large sum of money on Journey being xmas #2 though :o

 

edit: William Hill were ahead of me :( odds are already as short as 5/1 and the second favourite

Looking at the dates, he really hasn't...

 

The final results are the same night as the X Factor final :P Hence it won't be at all cheap for this contest.
