    If you have to ask, then yes.

    John Lennon: Ringo isn't even the best drummer in The Beatles.

    i think the show is quite well put together. it is entertaining (i think so anyway), introduces kids to some great music (beatles, kiss, aerosmith (do you know how many people thought that the sampling of dream on in eminems "sing for the moment" was an eminem original)) and it covers a lot of relevant issues such as racism, bullying, homosexuality teen pregnancy etc.

    You're welcome. Actually I made a mistake. The show is on FOX, not ABC (not that it makes much of a difference)
    If you have to ask, then yes.

    I REALLY hope you left out the comma there by accident, and the show isn't about gay/homosexual kids getting pregnant somehow.

    That's two Beatles songs and one Lennon song thus far.

    I wholly agree that occasionally the songs are way too auto-tuned (particularly whenever Finn sings), but overall I enjoy the show (even the Britney Spears episode had its high points, like "this reminds me of the UFO I was probed in") and probably will through the next couple of years.

    "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was an excellent cover; was that arrangement show-specific, or was it based on another cover (the way "Poker Face" was based on a Lady Gaga acoustic rendition, and "Dancing With Myself" was a cover of the Nouvelle Vague version)?

    It wasn't strictly the same as TV Carpio's version from "Across the Universe" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D92Lyxj7U7Q ) - the AtU version starts the bass in the first verse and adds synth/strings and guitar later, the Glee version starts the synth/strings in the first verse and adds bass and guitar later - but in pace and tone it was awfully close.

    also similar in tone and pace to a version done on a tv show in australia called good news week. unfortunately i can not find a vid of it.

    was done with only a piano.

    edit: found it. not quite as similar as i thought, but still a slowed down version.
