It's not the original, but I really like it! Nicely done. I'm surprised they left in the "Kiss, Pookie" part, though.

Meh. It's okay. I'm spoiled by the fabulous Idina Menzel and Fredi Walker version.

I think Amber sounds great!!! It's not my favorite version. But pretty good.

I'm totally liking I Know What Boys Like more. God I love Ashley Fink!

I was hoping for this song to be a Britt-Tana duet, but I still like it.

i like that the key (and thusly the belting) is higher.

thats about it.

Over produced and lacking the grittiness of the original, but otherwise well performed.

I'm with loverly. Terrifically dull, I think I'll stick with the OBCR or drunken karaoke versions.

Wait, does Glee even have a plot anymore or is it just covers of popular songs strung together?

[Edna Turnblad]

They do have plot, Kad. Just not always. I'm going to say that this week is going to be near plot-less. This wasn't a bad version, just not the best. I just really think it's insane that they are doing Rent along with Justin Beiber.

HEADACHE! No, seriously, by the last verse the area around my right eye started to throb. Were they wearing tourniquets around their necks for it?

I like it. Alot actually. I LOVE the orchestrations and the amplified drums and horns, it gives it alot of energy and fun. And the girls sound amazing!!!

Does anyone else think this played much better on-screen than it does when just listened to? The girls intensity sold me more than the recording.

Meh..... nothing too special, but I'll take that over the 90210 remake doing Spring Awakening a few years ago....

Too high, too forced. Should have been in the original key.

Can we have a moratorium on Lea Michele channeling Idina?

I think it was a really good cover of the song. That being said nothing can possibly replace the original broadway version with Idina in it. So good try glee but some things can just not be reproduced.
