Covers

Whenever I hear a Glee song, I hate it. Even before people started hating Glee, I hated the songs. I hate the way most people massacre good songs by unnecessarily belting and doing whatever vocal thing they do. Magaling na kayo kumanta, tama na. The latest cover I've been hating now is The Black Eyed Peas' Time of my Life. I like the original and I hate what they did.

I hate it when singers make a mediocre version of songs, making it not much different the original. I don't see the whole point. A good example of that are the songs on Glee. Okay, they use it for the TV show, to inspire people not to take drugs and be responsible, like the girl character there who got pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. So it does have a point. 90% of the songs on that wonderful and inspiring show are, sadly, either mediocre or an insult to the original singers (who for some reason makes them use their songs).

I can't get over the fact that they used a lot of Queen songs.

I also hate it when they make songs ugly like 10% of the songs on Glee, the local singers we have in the Philippines who can't compose any new material, and the Black Eyed Peas singing the Time of my Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.


I could name more, but my mind could not bear remembering the sacrilege. Let the hurting stop.
