I just bought this CD from Target and it’s pretty close to perfect. I’ve bought some of the songs on Itunes so I just wanted MORE GLEE. I like most of their remakes, but “And I Am Telling You..” was best done by Jennifer Holiday and Jennifer Hudson. “My Life Would Suck…” was best done by Kelly Clarkson. Why remake a song by an already awesome singer. LOL

i pesonnaly have not bought the second volume I’m going to wait to see the end of the season but i have prchased vol 1 and it’s amazing and vol 2 is a total change of pace slowing down the tone and hitting you in the Heart “Imagine” has to be my favorite song this whole season but i was hoping for the cover of “papa don’t preach” and i was hoping for more songs from Will’s boy band the ACafellas which were all amazing and if i could just throw it out there Artie needs to be singing lead don’t you think. “Dancing with myself” though not on this album (it was on vol.1) was amazing also but basically you cant go wrong with glee especially if you watch the show.

This soundtrack is great. Better than the first even. Songs we all know and can sing along with. Highly recommend!

“Glee: The Music, Volume 1″ opened on the cast’s strongest effort to date, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” From the first song on, it’s whimsical, musical journey to a strong and defiant ending on a stripped-performance of “Defying Gravity.” The way was packed with energy, youthful effervescence, and sheer toe-tapping fun. Volume 2 certainly delivers on the music and the whimsy, but it’s slow, plodding, and ultimately unsatisfying as a second time out for the largely talented cast of Glee.
“Proud Mary” is the opening number, which is a large, big-voiced and fun effort from the always soulful Mercedes and the surprisingly tuneful Artie. Afterwords, we are treated to a slump of slow-moving and ultimately lacking songs. Mostly, these selections make sense in the episode they were featured in, but they fall flat on their own as soundtrack choices. Rachel’s fun cover of the old 90′s pop hit “Crush” was a spark of brightness, but was instantly flattened by Finn’s wretched cover of “(You’re) Having My Baby,” which was cute in the episode it was featured in but never needs to be spoken of out of that context.
The next set of songs shine brightly in the center of the album, although the decision to leave out the deaf student’s introduction ‘singing’ on “Imagine” was a poor one; the sole reason that song was as effective as it was in the scene it was featured in was that the New Directions kids jumped in to help out as part of a group bonding moment. We finally get to hear Tina have her solo on Cyndi Lauper’s classic “True Colors,” followed by a lively rendition of Van Halen’s “Jump.”
Finn and Rachel shine again as a fun duo on Lily Allen’s excellent reggae/pop tune “Smile,” and the group is again fun to hear on “Smile” (the Charlie Chaplin version). That’s when we dip again. Although both Mercedes and Rachel were both absolutely lovely on their respective beats (“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” respectively), we as an audience are tired of these albums being showcases for Rachel, Mercedes and Finn. Where is Quinn’s lively solo, Puck’s soulful strumming, Kurt’s strived-for high-F? The original album was a fusion of everyone’s talents, ultimately, and it was stronger for that. This album had far too many solos, particularly from Finn, Mercedes, and Rachel.
The two group numbers that will be featured in the fall finale, “Sectionals,” are The Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You.” While both are pleasantly diverting, they completely lack the punch that previous group efforts such as “Somebody to Love” were so vibrating with. This album could have done with some different songs, such as the other groups featured (the Jane Adam’s Academy version of “Bootylicious,” or the mash-ups from the boys and the girls, or the Vocal Adrenaline renditions of “Mercy” or “Rehab,” are just a few choice suggestions).
Ultimately, while it was fun to listen to and there were certainly a few foot-tapping moments, the loveliness of hearing a good cover of Lily Allen’s “Smile” can only hold one over for so long. I’m sorry, Glee, but I stopped believin’ about halfway through this lackluster second attempt from a promising talent.
3 and 1/2 out of 5 stars.
