ETA: These are iTunes (rip) Versions
Dancing Queen
Not surprising, Santana and Mercedes sound incredible together. The music kind of drowns them out in some parts and the verses - especially the first one - sounds too karaoke for my taste, but I honestly think that this is the most appropriate song for this episode. I'm just glad that these two were picked to sing it. 7/10
I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You
First, I hate the long title. Second, it feels like I'm listening to an exercise video or an educational video made for kids the age of 7. Third, not a fan of the overly techno beat. Yes, I don't like this cover. 3/10
Isn't She Lovely
Artie sounds fantastic, especially the a capella part, but the inappropriateness of this song for Artie is too much for me to handle. Wasn't this song written for a father/daughter kind of love? Oh, and it's too short. 7/10DOWNLOAD
Jar Of Hearts
GORGEOUS! Rachel sounds honest and sincere in this song and it's always a plus that she sings it beautifully. This is definitely one of her best, and that's saying something! I'd say depending on the context of it, this could actually be absolutely epic! 9/10DOWNLOAD
Rolling In The Deep
Jesse St. James is back!!! The arrangement of this is definitely interesting. I did not expect this to be an a capella version. But of course, with Jesse and Rachel's vocal chemistry and power, they obviously don't need anything else. I think their rendition is different and I'm just fascinated with it. 9/10DOWNLOAD
Friday
Wow. This is actually almost listenable! I love how they added the heavy drums into the production as it makes it way more energetic. The lyrics still make me cringe, but it is what it is. I admit, I didn't hate the original because most songs these days are just as dumb, and Glee, I think, made the song a lot more palatable. 7/10
