I really do not like any of her covers. Or is it just me?

They picked the WRONG songs for her, IMO.

Yeah, I don't really see her singing Alone.

I completely agree... I like Kirstin and I LOVE the song Alone, but she kinda ruined it. It didn't sound right AT all. They picked the wrong sonngs for her.

I would never have expected it, but her "Maybe This Time" is GORGEOUS!

Maybe this time is stunning

I really like the "Alone" cover. Not sure about the Carrie Underwood one.. I will have to see it in context of the show. The Maybe This Time is great.

Her "Maybe This Time" sounds like a bad Judy Garland impression. How ironic...

Her Last Name cover sounds like she tried to copy Carrie Underwood completely instead of making it her own.

Sorry to dissagree, but I persoanlly love all three of the songs! I think she did a really good job at all of them and i can't wait for the episode!

Liked Maybe This Time- until she hit/held the Cheno note @ the end. I realize they want to show off her mad skills but kinda spoiled it for me a bit.

*Hopes she goes back to conservative christian music, so I never have to listen to her or see her EVER again*

The Cheno note made me wince too, but I think it fits plot-wise, because based on what I've seen in preview videos, *SPOILER* she sings it as sort of an introduction look-at-what-I-can-do for the glee club, with Lea Michele probably singing it on stage for actual Cabaret, with some kind of split-screen/cutting back and forth editing.

What a shocker. Someone with the username kristinchenofan thought she sounded amazing.

I wonder if "Glee" fans who aren't smart (which is most of them...I enjoy it quite a lot but it's VERY flawed and conventional) understand that the show is a satire and is kind of aiming for the camp factor at times. I don't think most of them even know what those words mean.

"Maybe This Time" is gorgeous. I agree that the Cheno note works in the context of the scene. I personally really like "Alone", but I can see how you can disagree. I don't think she was copying Carrie at all, especially with those little Cheno-voice speaking parts. P.S. Don't judge me by my username.

[kristinchenofan570]

I don't think she sounds like Carrie either. And just to prove that my username means nothing I peronally dont like maybe this time as much as the other two.

I like those songs, I love Kristin, but together it just doesn't sound too great to me. I wish they chose other songs for her.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 9/30/09 at 6:36pm

I agree that they could have chosen much, much better songs for her.

And I'm of the (probably unpopular) belief that no one should sing "Alone" but Ann Wilson, haha.

Okay. Kristen Chenoweth = good call. She totally made tonight's episode.

Glee is back! . . . isn't it?

[kristinchenofan570]

Posted: 9/30/09 at 10:29pm

Completely agree! She was awesome and really did make the episode!!! (please no more comments about how of course I liked it just because of my username....)

It actually sounded like Kristin was singing her "Maybe This Time" live and not the overproduced pre-recorded crap. I enjoyed Kristin alot, but that overproduced Queen cover made me mute the TV.

I'm totally with you SporkGoddess. It's been covered many times (by Celine, Underwood). But still... nothing beats the original by HEART. Even her singing it now... which sounds more "raw"... can't be beat, in my opinion.

Posted: 9/30/09 at 10:42pm

I enjoyed tonight's episode a lot. Minor complaint that there wasn't nearly enough Jane Lynch ("...I was aroused, then furious." ahaha, what was that quote?). I loved Kristin a lot though.

I'm not a fan of the lip singing either. Aside from the big performance numbers, they should just let them sing live.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 9/30/09 at 10:44pm

Glad that someone agrees

"Somebody to Love" was horribly overproduced, I agree. As was the performance of "Don't Stop Believing."

The show is completely inconsistent in terms of writing. Thankfully the cast is uniformly excellent (except for the kid who plays Finn...sure he's good looking but would you really buy the fact that he could get a scholarship for singing? but besides that, he's serviceable).

Tonight was alright...the cast just elevates the material. The best episode this season BY FAR was last week's. Cheno was cute tonight. The musical numbers felt kinda awkward...
