Weekly Gleek: "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen

[NossiGaming]

Mind giving me the chords?

[DiMarchezi]

nice voice.. i like it..

a friend from Brazil.

[senyorOhbed]

weak voice

[wilwarinemaltese]

very good!!! :D

[HelterSchecter]

Hey ..Your Awesome

[zomglolol1992]

No way!

You're a Gleek too!!!

Wow, you are just an amazingly perfect woman!!

[Izanagy]

rly rly good =D

[mosweld]

Queen is my absolute favorite band ever.

This is lovely<4

Keep it up!

[princessmeshel]

U rock girlie! I loved it!

[TheStore4Swimsuits]

you play really well

[sexypio]

totally those covers should be in one album.... soooooo many people would buy it, and the original performers would be like....so proud!

[campkillyourself88]

Queen is my all-time favorite band. Glee is my all-time favorite show. This is quite possibly the best version I've heard of this song since Freddie Mercury did it himself. If he were here today, you'd be blowing his mind. I'm sure he's rocking to it from the grave.

[fishingpiano]

keep it simple:)

[bostunn]

Nice voice and great cover song!

[GeminiRose19]

Poor Queen...

[andie40]

your awesome!!! put all thesesongs on a cd and i would buy it!!!

[camishalouise]

I used to like your videos soooo much, but you complicate it with all the other add ons in the corner, and the background music. Just keep it simple. SImple is better:)

[tonjesml]

@camishalouise I keep it very simple compared to other musicians, usually with just guitar and voice and if I use anything else-stuff on my desk as instruments. I think there's a way to keep it simple but grow as a musician and experiment at the same time.

[lamagamorgana]

@camishalouise I disagreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xD sorry man she's JUST the exact level of simplicity ;)

[BillyWithKelly]

Song-gasm..... !!

[hyuuganeji1314]

The only thing I think when I watch ur vids is "Damn she sounds so sexy I love this womans voice" Megan I hope u the best in life u are going places

[rl10261]

Amazing my favorite song Thanks

[theantspants1]

you rocked the house with another great cover

I loved it

[MorbidKittyProd]

wow. LOL This is so fun to watch. Love the layers of the vox. too awesome. if you do stuff on iTunes, this SO has to be on there!! Seriously dude lol

[kbroberts1]

awesome job beautiful l!!!!!!!!!

[balexis1980]

Wicked. Awesome. 

[xAnukisx]

Maybe everyone should stop hating on some poor kid and start commenting on how well done this song turned out? And plus, I would love to hear some Beatles :) someone else suggested "blackbird" i believe but I would love to hear you do either like a medley or maybe "michelle" :D

[bewoman]

I would love you to sing This Love by Maroon 5 :):)

[Taz86]

seriously, more queen covers. we will rock you, fat bottomed girls, bohemian rhapsody. preferably fat bottomed girls or bohemian rhapsody.

[figie88]

quick question. do you figure out the chords for all these songs yourself? i'm just thinking it would be fairly hard to try find the music for them all each week.

[thepurpletangerines]

I love you.

[majshkdt]

you are incredible! I wasn't excepting such a beautiful cover of this song!

[ml2385]

You are an amazing artist!

[TheYablie]

Beautiful & Brilliant =)

[mattiboi]

I love your vids. You have a fantastic voice. but I DO think you seem alittle too concerned with singing well (and u sing much better then "well") and not enough with connecting to the meaning and emption of that song. Isnt it about the AIDS crisis in the 80s?

[Lamia7609]

@mattiboi this song has nothing to do with AIDS crisis it was written in 1980.

[Davidasurs]

Woah I missed your hair growing. xD. But you look amazing and sound Amazing Meghan. <3 Love you xoxo

[GriffinWolf2008]

I love this song

[FreePieDelivery]

ur amazing!!!!

[DearOlivejuice]

From one musician to another I say as long as we're making music and loving it we're more successful than anyone could hope to be. If that music happens to make us a living in the process. Nifty. Keep on keeping on. You're quite lovely :]

[kltxo]

You are amazing. I love your cover of this :D

[bitchen831]

love this. <3

[woodie62]

Meghan, I'm not sure if you've done any Beatles tunes yet. Could you do "Blackbird"? I really like this tune for a number of reasons, the main one being it was an encouragement to the oppressed during the civil rights struggle. It's melancholy, but very sweet and has been covered by a number of jazz artists already. But I would like to hear your version!!

[bayard469]

Art, music, and business are all different words. This girl could be, if she ain't already, more successful at all three than any hater will ever be. Live on yung gansta.

[bayard469]

Art, music, and business. All different words. This girl prob could be, and prob is already, more successful than any hater will ever be. I heart music and thusly her. Biotch.

[Tessaisonaboat]

Ok her voice does sound good but it also sounds very...fixed. People that sing on YouTube to get famous shouldn't be using that equip already. I want more singers that can actually sing, so when you go to concerts you don't have to listen to their bad singing. But I love glee and this version too.

[maximumflame12]

@RickyGotPotterfied Seriously are you friggin kidding me? Meghan is amazing and i look up to her being a singer myself and in my opinion ur being a friggin asshat. and Who cares what her size is, i think she is beautiful just the way she is, so i think u can just suck it.

[dadomal20]

you are just apsolutly amazing! :)

[sondemo]

please do "i'm yours" bu jason mraz

[nicolesmusic07]

i love the tone of your voice!! please check me out

[leedsunitedlewis]

you see a lot of people singing on youtube and you are the best ive heard

[DoRayMeFa]

I really like your unique take on this song...

very gentle and eloquent, almost *contrasts with* the lyrics and with Queen's original delivery.

.

This interpretation would make a great backing to a movie scene where the character experiences a setback/defeat but the setback/defeat is expressed in an ~ironic or humorous or contrasting way. (Yo! You hear me, Spielbergs of the world?)

[InDubiousBattle]

LOVE the thumbnail for this video (and the singing as well, of course)

[haistandards]

Very good :) Very nice voice...you're in my playlists at "new artists"

[scubakathleen]

Another awesome song/vid!!! Loved your take on such a classic. Wondering what this would sound like as a full studio version... Love you Meghan!! :)

[vampirefan49]

Wow... I didn't think anybody can remake this song but u did it and it was awesome

[HeavenlyMakeUp]

i was a little worried before i clicked this one Megan, but you don't disappoint. I don't even watch glee but i watch your gleek every time! :)

[erikandchristine]

ur awesome <3

[DrOrphious79]

Great cover!!!!

[TheThunderDragoon]

Great cover. I always look forward to what you'll do next. I have a question about the songs you do, though. Do you have to get certain permission for the songs you do? And, if so, how do you go about doing that? Some time in the near future I want to start making videos of me doing songs and I thought you'd be the perfect person to ask. :)

[TwlohaLITM]

@tybanks14 go to hell

[AnnieLives]

@tybanks14 UR DUMB

[KellyM728]

Love it

[cyberminky64]

gosh, you're amazing:)

love your videos so much xx

[ItsJillStrif]

Fantastic, as always!

[Trinabeanah1234321]

AH-MAZING.

[cheer4sunshine123]

i like this. i didn't like the one from the glee episode, but this is poppin' xD

[angrypunkbronxkid]

I think all songs need to be folk-i-fied like this. Could you perhaps do cover of "Aint no Sunshine"?

[cocoraban]

Woooooow ! RESPECT ! (y)

[MrBastowsky]

the intro is not like that

[AndMixtapes]

@RickyGotPotterfied What a fucking cockhole. You don't deserve anything good in life if you think that shallowly of people despite their talents. Grow the fuck up. Megan, keep doing what you're doing. I'm glad you don't let assbags like him get you down. We love ya no matter what <3

[Missdancingvalentine]

@RickyGotPotterfied what the fuck man? she is crazy good at what she does! loosing weight has nothing to fucking do with it she is beautiful!

[SuperZigger]

This is by far my favorite song. When you started out I did not think I would like it. But by the end you had me. Keep it up. Im sure you know but Girl u can SING!!!!!

[Taz86]

as a huge Queen fan, i have to say you should do more Queen covers. hell, you should do more covers of real rock songs to begin with. i for one am impressed. Farrokh Bulsara (let's see if anyone knows that is) was great, Paul Rodgers kicks ass with Queen, but this is one of the best covers i've ever heard. ever.

cover of Fat Bottomed Girls by any chance? (totally serious, not even trying to be a dick) i just wanna hear a chick sing it lol

[mchavarria91]

You're incredible. :]

[flickerchocho]

Love you Meghan!!!!!! :) Great Job!!!

[mizzzlizzz02]

you are awesome and gorgeous!

[jabbrsprttheday]

u r rokcing in this video

[FicklePrincess]

I went to see 'God Saves The Queen' last week, so I reloved all their songs ^^

You sing it beautifully! ♥

[AndSoShePaints]

Love your voice in this one. The tone of your voice is great for this song, and the tempo is fantastic!

[thastuffyo]

effing awesome, you should try making a bad video sometime, just to mix it up ;)

[junenostalgia]

It was okay. I always feel like your voice is on the weak side and that does not fit this song.

[kadeeandkelvie]

talent is talent.

talent isn't someone's size.

leave her alone.

i love this cover!

[bayard469]

@kadeeandkelvie freddy mercury does too by the way. mustache and all.

[massivebids]

@kadeeandkelvie I could not agree more.

[wowhornby]

why does her weight come up in every video? so what if she is "big." Screw you all who focus on that stuff. I'm sure you're really helping the world with your crappy criticisms.....

[alisabethmarie]

I disagree I think its amazing that your not a skinny piece of crap we have enough of those! anyways your beautiful and you have amazing talent!

[Cahrist]

Generally i love your stuff, but you just murdered this song. You should probably avoid classics.

[DragonlordRock863rd]

oh and btw shes beautiful the way she is

[DragonlordRock863rd]

btw hun im a new subby to u ur a great singer i couldent resist ur gonna make it big i can gurantee it

[deehob]

Freddie Mercury = Genius.

awesome cover as always :)

[cashetkate]

Ricky, you also need to learn how to spell. There's a difference between "loose" and "lose." Meghan, another brilliant piece, and you're beautiful.

[WTCCNumber1FanEver]

Wow you are a really good singer (Y)

[TheJonnyBShow]

Really impressed by this one! I am often critical of your covers because I think they sound too much alike to one another and don't have enough that sets them apart. But this cover was perfectly done. I love it. So much.

[serena941]

it would be cool if you did its a man world

[bubbles4buttons]

love the screen shot for the vid!

[mere2bear]

Is there any song that you can't sing?? Amazing job!! :)

[xXAliceOpalXx]

awesome song + awesome singer + beautiful guitarplayer = awesomness

[WatchYourAttitude]

That was an awesome cover! great job meghan!

[Paint]

So glad I subscribed! Fantastic cover.

[xeroxephyr]

=/

I like you and all, but stay away from my Queen.

[Colleenchi15]

Wow. soooooooo great! x

[sobeit42]

that was very pretty

[klmk1984]

Is there anything you CAN'T sing?

[xthemout]

meghan you are absolutely amazing. keep it going

[ImagesOfMusic]

Obviously, she doesn't really need to lose weight, or be in the mainstream, to reach fame. This girl has a huge following. A bigger following then I'm sure you've ever had.

The only types of people who think that she's not enough are assholes like you who can't look past the shallow thoughts of mainstream media. Why don't you try changing something about yourself? Join the thousands of people who think she's amazingly talented, and beautiful. :]

[RickyGotPotterfied]

@ImagesOfMusic Why am I being turned into the bad cop? All of you commenters are just feeding an illusion. I do believe she's amazingly talented.

We live in a very shallow world. Also, being so sweet, if she makes it big in the Music Industry, everybody will just run over her.

When it comes to the followers... well, this is youtube afterall. The 2nd most watched video of all time features a laughing baby.

[Adrain30]

@RickyGotPotterfied I'm a chubby guy..LOL ok I'm fat..and I hate what you said..but more than that I hate that you're right. She is very talented and I think she;'s beautiful too. But the truth is record companies are shallow stupid thing and they would not see much future in her. Mind you I'm not saying she doesn't have one...I think she can do amazing things..but she would have to go the indie way. Do you know record companies where always like this Bob Dylan or Anne Wilson wouldn't be signed

[RickyGotPotterfied]

@Adrain30 Well, thank you! I know it's hard to admit. My image isn't very commercial eighter, not in a fat way, I just present myself differently than the average portuguese teenager and that's bited me in the ass a lot already.

Well, there are some rare situations... And thank God for Bob Dylan, cause I heart him so much!

[maybeimamazedxxo]

@RickyGotPotterfied and how about you go play in traffic?

[RickyGotPotterfied]

The world would loose a lot...

I'm just being honest, it's a deeply sad truth. It's called positive criticism.

[faraz1192]

@RickyGotPotterfied Maybe you've never heard of the two-time Grammy winner Adele. Go listen. :)

[gaberloose]

@RickyGotPotterfied its not positive criticism its being an asshole and i think she looks and sounds great.

[sarahlovesriceee]

@RickyGotPotterfied your acting like there's NO bigger singers out there... there are a LOT of singers that start out bigger, (look at american idols!?).. i mean typically they do lose weight once they become famous, but megan isn't "famous" yet, so if she does make it big i'm sure that's when she will lose weight. she's on youtube which is the biggest platform for ALL types of people and frankly, i disagree with you on the fact that her voice isn't enough for her to make it big.

[RickyGotPotterfied]

@sarahlovesriceee Perhaps I was. But fact is that they had a much harder time to get a hold of that fame. Oh, please don't get me started on American Idol <.<

The latest cases in which youtube led to fame in Music were both 2 lil teenage boys that were very propense to be turn into a "teenage pop sensation". It's just the sad truth. Oh, and lets not forget that aging plays a part too.

I'm off replying now. I believe my oppinion portrays the "incovenient truth" about Music. Take it or leave it.

[scottrules420]

@RickyGotPotterfied

Everyone.... this is a 15 YEAR OLD's OPINION.... the best part about real life (not youtube) is that no one cares what 15 year old kids think :)

@tonjesml

You are a beautiful artist - I just fell in love with your voice.

[AnnieLives]

@RickyGotPotterfied You get "music" confused with the "entertainment industry". Two very different things.

[tonjesml]

@RickyGotPotterfied I think your definition of making it in the music industry and mine are much different. I'm signed, have a distribution deal for my next album and when I go on tour I can cover food and gas. I've also only been doing this for five years, so I'd say I'm doing fine. Thanks for the concern.

[poisonedpigments]

@tonjesml dont listen to these haters! i think that you are absolutely gorgeous. and you have for sure made it in the music business. maybe you aren't on the front of people magazine, but being that far in the spotlight isn't good for anyone. keep doing what you're doing and rock it, girl!

[RickyGotPotterfied]

@poisonedpigments In case you're refering to me, haters are pointless trolls. I'm not even hating, I love her voice. Just poiting out the sad truths of this world...

[emberose]

@RickyGotPotterfied The sad truth about Mainstream POP/ROCK MUSIC is that yes, you are expected to look a certain way. That is something that women and men have had to deal with for years. Actually, men get away with it more. Women are expected to look be more cookie cutter.

You've already stated that she's got talent and a lot of people will agree with you there. The music should be what it's about. Not trying to make someone cookie cutter.

[RickyGotPotterfied]

@tonjesml I guess that you can be happy with solely personal realization? I couldn't be an artist without world-wide recognizing. But, eighterway, I'm only 15 years old. Thank you for your response and you're welcome.

[turion2319]

@tonjesml look at the musicians at the grammy's, they are ALL fit, and if they aren't, they are KNOWN as the fat one.... a successful career in music, no matter how unfair, is made off of more than just a good voice... you have to LOOK the part... people may say that is society warping you into something your not, but society are the people who buy albums....and if your in it and dont care about the money....well.... see how long that lasts

[AnnieLives]

@turion2319 She is more successful than any of those fake bitches on T.V. because she can sell quality albums without getting dangerous cosmetic surgery and painting herself orange. There is a difference between getting a Grammy (which BTW is just a big popularity contest) and being a SUCCESSFUL musician.

[cookiedoughsFEPIC]

@tonjesml Wow. U handel things really good. That dude tottally bagged on u and u didnt even bag on him KOOL :D

[slycattv]

@tonjesml Good for you haters gonna hate keep up the awesome work.

[bayard469]

@tonjesml if the mainstream is contaminated don't swim there. holla.

[pinkertonXweez]

@RickyGotPotterfied shallow? you dont have to be size two to be sucsessful, there are so many other singers who are a size two and sound like a piece of shit.

[DragonlordRock863rd]

@RickyGotPotterfied thats a horrible thing to say shes a great singer and weight or no weight she would get into the music biz so u might wanna stop judging people before u get to know them

[gratefultobehere]

@RickyGotPotterfied pwned

[thestevenevets]

@RickyGotPotterfied shes beautiful the way she is!

she has talent,which most people dont have these days:)

[YoMissyRocks]

@RickyGotPotterfied dude she is beautiful the way she is, just because ur insecure doesnt mean u have to try to make others feell as bad as u do!

Girl, you are amazing! i am very proud of you. never listen to those those kinda scum bags, u are truly amazing!

[dezza2001]

@RickyGotPotterfied what does losing weight have anything to do with making it? It is perception by people like you who think that way that stop people from trying. If you have skill and passion you will do well.

[mikepalomino]

@RickyGotPotterfied Way to be a douchebag (judging from the deluge of comments you received, it's no wonder you closed your account). Eff you and the mainstream. Meghan Tonjes is amazing just the way she is.

[cheer4sunshine123]

@RickyGotPotterfied wow, you're going to burn in HELL for saying that. that's such a fucking lie. just because she isn't plastic like britney, kesha, paris, and all those other girls doesn't mean she isn't succeeding in her career! and if you really meant it in a better way, you wouldn't have said something as stupid as "loose the weight." obviously she knows she's gorgeous, and confident enough not to buy into today's dumbass idealistic society! what a dick you are.

[Angie31085]

@RickyGotPotterfied Maybe there is still hope for you to get "unpotterfied".. Nice, real nice...

[asami357]

@RickyGotPotterfied dick. ^^

[thepurpletangerines]

@RickyGotPotterfied Who the says she she wants to go mainstream? Who the says mainstream is the /only/ way to be famous? You act like youtube music isn't 'real' music. Thing is, having a few incredibly loyal youtube fans would be a hell of a lot better than having a TON of 'normal' fans who don't really care and just dance sluttily to my over auto tuned voice. Oh, this is coming from a 14 year old.

[AnnieLives]

@RickyGotPotterfied Who says her goal is to go mainstream? Most of those musicians have no talent and she is way to fucking good to be clumped in with the likes of Keisha and Brittany Spears. There is another category that I think she does just fine in which is: good music. Plus, she's freaking gorgeous, are you blind? Geesh.

[IntoxicadoNC]

niiiice :D

[LifeIsJust21]

Classic! Love your cover of this song :)

[Lifeeisbeeautiful]

amazing like always.

[sophiemango06]

I love it!

[charlie64093]

the absolute BEST version of this song EVER! Queen who? Queen Tonjes - you rule!

[falloutmnky]

this is one of your best covers...

[xXValeriousXx]

Woah, you're so beautiful in this! And the version is great.

[rainydaysem]

i was hoping you'd do Its a mans world, !

but i like this one too :)

[KittehGoneWild]

AHH! That was kind of bloody amazing!

[mougell456]

downlaod link please!!!!

[monkiboy777]

AMAZING! i like queen and i loved this so much more!

[nemssiki]

Absolutely LOVE this cover.

[IsaacMaganaMusic]

i hate those stupid comments about you dont being like Queen...

OMG OF COURSE SHE IS NO! NOBODY IS!

She is a girl with an amazing voice, and we all love her covers and originals

[sabrinasa21]

You certainly make the word "GLEE" an Onomatopoeia!!

[soundlyawake]

I'm probably just an idiot, but I never knew Queen sang this song.

[SuperrrRoberttt1152]

This song really suits you :D

[lulufullana]

@SuperrrRoberttt1152 Every song suits her as she suits every song. Did that make sense? ;)

[beelover9481]

Finally a song I actually like lol :D

[SimplyFloating]

almost a bit creepy.

[theevilsmurf88]

WAAAAAAY better than vocal adrenaline's cover but as much as i love your music still doesn't touch queen. Freddie Mercury was amazing. But this feels like a really nice homage.

[brittannyglitterati]

I love this cover. I love Queen and I think you did a good job.

[MaryAsane]

where can we download this cover, like the others? i'd love to have it :)

[MRGREEN384]

Dang

[easilydistraACted]

awesome.. totally loved it!!

[KelliNicoleRatliff]

You have a beautiful voice with a wide range of vocals. I wish i could sing as high and as low as u lol

[MrNLichtman]

Next time you do a cover of a Queen song, you should wear a mustache for fun.
