Glee Music 2: Funeral

Here are the songs for next week's episode mysteriously titled, Funeral. I got a couple of emails regarding this and I was told that someone will die in this episode - few speculations of who it will be but nothing is confirmed. Hopefully it's not another animal, just like how they created so much buzz about it last time and it was just apparently Pavarotti, the Dalton Academy bird. Anyway, enjoy!

ETA: These are iTunes (rip) Versions

Back To Black

While I still prefer her other songs like Songbird and Valerie over this, I think Santana's version of this ditty is actually better than the original. It's just so much sexier than Amy Winehouse's rendition. Her voice is silky, yet still raw with emotion. But I'm more than a little biased when it comes to Santana, so whatever. 8/10

My Man

Sheer vocal perfection. Rachel was made to sing this song! She's completely in her element and she sounds divine in it. To me, the best part in this song is when she goes up to belt on the "he'll never know" bit. It's a little short for my liking though. 8/10

Pure Imagination

Wow. This is wonderfully beautiful. Everyone sounds fantastic in this song, especially Kurt and, yes, Tina!! Why is she so underused is beyond my human comprehension. Anyway, the harmonies are incredible and I'm really thrilled it's a group song! Why do I feel like I may cry during this song on the actual episode? Haha. 9/10

Some People

Not a fan. Kurt's vocals are over the place on this one. I don't know. It's a nice throwback to Rose's Turn though. Yes, that's all I have to say. Haha 4/10

Try A Little Tenderness

Mercedes' pipes astound me. She killed this song! I'm hoping for a more modern arrangement of this song a la Michael Buble, but this is just fine. It started off just really slow for me to get into it early on. Good thing, it picked up in the end. 8/10
