Wings

I was listening to some Glee songs on the iTunes store, hence the reason for this post.  There are a number of songs I feel like Glee should have never covered.

1.  Wings - made famous by Little Mix

I love Little Mix, but if a cover is good, I'll admit that it was good.  This cover, on the other hand, was... brutal is too harsh of a word.  This cover was... interesting?  It was performed in the final episode of the fourth season in May 2013, "All or Nothing."

Here's the real version

And here's the Glee version

2.  It's Time - made famous by Imagine Dragons

I absolutely love the percussion in this song, but it's absent from the Glee version.  While Darren Criss's voice is great, this cover just isn't doing it for me.  It was performed in the first episode of the fourth season, "The New Rachel."

3.  Story of My Life - made famous by One Direction

I am kind of against any cover of One Direction because if you're not One Direction, you can't sound like One Direction, so you shouldn't be singing One Direction.  I might feel this way because only Blaine and Kurt are singing, as opposed to the five guys we are normally used to hearing.  This song first aired in "The Back-Up Plan," the 18th episode of the fifth season.

But don't worry.  I am a pretty fair person, so I will, tomorrow, post about some awesome Glee covers.
