I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

I watched a recent episode of Glee and was mesmerized by this touching song called 'I want to hold your hand'. Prior to this, I have not heard it before and have no idea it is a Beatles song, till someone told me. 


Well, this is yet another beautiful song with meaningful lyrics. The version sang by Kurt, the gay character in Glee, to his comatose dad is both sad and raw compared to the very cheerful and upbeat version by Beatles. Check out the Glee video and the second video sang by him too but which contains images of people and animals holding hands and relish in those touching moments.

GLEE - BAD ROMANCE

I watched Glee's episode 20 and the night was dedicated to Lady Gaga. It reminded me that I like this catchy song from Lady Gaga and the lyrics are attached below.

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!

GLEE

After watching 5 episodes of it, I am totally sold and am officially a gleek. I love the musical comedy for its wide array of lovely songs, dancing and its interesting cast.

I was mesmerized by the song 'Alone' sung by April (played by Kristin Chenoweth), who was an over the hill singer, and Matthew Morrison. I found the role of April to be very interesting and entertaining. She belted out quite a few beautiful songs with her big voice. Of course, there was the controversial, man- and singing-hating Sue (played by Jane Lynch), whose role seemed no different from the movie 'The 40 Year-Old Virgin'. There was also Rachel (played by Lea Michele), the high school glee club lead female singer who tried to score it with the male lead, and who drew me in with her voice. There were certainly many, many other sweet and touching moments.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy the song while I can. It chilled me to the bone.

The links to the youtube Glee, original Heart, Heart accoustic, Carrie Underwood, Carrie Underwood music video, Celine Dion and Celine Dion on a taiwanese programme versions are attached below. Which do you prefer?

Celine was too theatrical and over the top. At the end of it, I still prefer the version by Kristin and Matthew anytime. Her singing is so sensual and strikes a chord with me.
