  • after being obsessed with velvet goldemine I would kill to hear Placebo cover this.

  • I just danced uncontrollably to this song alone in my room. It was awesome.

  • Nevermind it was Sorrow-By David Bowie check it out

  • @BeatlesGirl1023 LOL. I would have guessed that you were talking about the video for "Blue Jean." It has a girl in white, and DB shoots spiderwebs from his hands. But "Sorrow" does fit your overall description better, having people with different instruments doing poses and all.

  • PLEASE HELP: Ok a few years ago i used to be obsessed with bowie and there was this video I watched and it had him walking through a bunch of people with differnt instruments in different poses and he was younger and there was this lady in a white? dress and she was us high and he went over by her, And i think there was abunch of spiderwebs all around.. what was it??

  • You all should be glad Glee covers songs like this. It makes young people discover this music. Stop complaining, it's freaking annoying.

    Oh, and I find THIS horrible. It's dull. Glee made it more fun.

  • @TTFrutti So we should be very glad Glee covers this song so that young ignorant people like yourself could discover it and conclude that it is dull? Really, try to be slightly coherent the next time you try to argue your opinion.

  • @ivankaramasov It is MY opinion, it doesn't mean that everyone else should feel the same way. All I'm saying is that Glee is one of the reasons I have more knowledge in music that most of our generation doesn't know of, and I actually do listen to and like a lot of songs from the older generations. I'm just pointing out that. Not everyone can like Glee, not everyone can like David Bowie either.

  • so dont tll that Rupaul copid this song!!!

  • You're not seeing things, not only does this video have the guitarist for Hall and Oates in it, one of the studio dancers is MTV 1980s VJ Alan Hunter.

  • @rickcain2320 G.E. Smith

  • clueless!

  • like if you could care less about Glee!

  • The Bratz' cover is better, sue me XD

  • feliz cumpleaños David "sexy" Bowie <3 <3 <3

  • when is glee gonna cover led zep?

  • Robert Fripp is awesome.

  • This track is pretty funky. Bowie could get down when he wanted to.

  • GE Smith!

  • great song but the guys in the band are well punk assed fags!!

  • @elvispresley718 Wow, you are sharp.

  • @elvispresley718 Dude, #1 -- grow up... #2, its David Bowie...lol

  • @DanielConnors i understand but fags who look like they want to fight are funny

  • @elvispresley718 LMAOOOO!!!

  • I just like music

  • I like Glee. I really do... But I just could not listen to their cover. No. Just... NO

  • Fuck Glee, GRUM all the way.

  • Yya!!! groove it mr Boss of the Style!!

  • I tried... I honestly tried to listen to Glee's "cover" (The marks are there for a reason) Why does EVERY song these days have to have that ONE girl that sings high pitched and sounds like they sigh after everything they sing?! David Bowie's is better...

  • @TheGorillaz4ever That GIRL on Glee is actually a Broadway singer, and really talented. She's also a much better singer than a whole lot of this generation's artists.

    You should check out her in her own league, where she actually belong. Broadway music, and ballads.

  • Eddie Jordan

  • I love Lando Carlissian !

  • GOOOOOOD i'm sick of hearing people talkin' about the original song and the Glee version!! Jesus if u like the original good 4u if u like the glee version good 4u if u like both that's awesome! but what's the point to complain every single time?! just STFU and enjoy the music!!

  • clueless ^-^

  • No getting away from it. Great song, terrible video

  • David Bowie is so cool!

  • The apparent timeliness of this video blows me away. Aside from the proto spandex, pleather, the Lionel Richie look-alike in a leisure suit, and the mullets (which at the time were way ahead of their time), the whole thing looks pretty new...Fashionable retro fashion.

  • @cro44magnum

    Bowie was always cool, and always will be.

  • Why do i think this sounds "house ish" for some reson? This guy was way before his time.

  • David Bowie is so gorgeous

  • weird but fascinating

  • i wish all the people on glee would die

  • Alguien sabe de que año es este tema??

  • @crisdg89 1980, che ! :D

  • @crisdg89

    de 1980 del disco Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

  • I love this New Wave stuff.  It's very artsy.

  • he looks so sexy in this video ! gorgeous man

  • Is he having a seizure?

  • when did glee cover this?

  • I don't mind Glee covering it if it leads young music lovers to Bowie.

  • he does this thing with his mouth at 0:22 is very reminiscent of his perfomance as john merrick in the elephant man. He was doing it on broadway at the time this video/song was made- i guess he took the character home with him!

  • its loud and tasteless and i heard it before they shout it while dancing on the dance floor here that lady gaga

  • the next time i run into ge smith im gonna wipe that look off his face is he still alive?

  • GOONSQUAD!!!!

    

  • is david sexually perverted because he thinks it makes him look cool or is he really sexually perverted? thats what he really wants us tho wonder about some time and by the way i hate dancers with a passion!

  • Comment removed

  • guys... listen to it! glee did a diffrent song! and im sure they would never say they are better! the want to show their respect to these great musicians! 

  • It's David Bowie's song, and only the brilliant Mr. Bowie will ever do it justice : )

  • i like david bowie and glee.

    yeah that's right middle ground,

    it exist!!.

  • @myra183a I'm the same! I've been in love with Bowie for years & I love Glee as well.

    No cover can ever be as great as the original, but that's the whole point; covers are never supposed to be better, they're supposed to be a tribute to the original artist & not everyone is going to like it. There will be people that will think the cover is better, but that can't be helped, because everyone has different tastes. Just focus on what you like, appreciate it for what it is & don't argue about it :)

  • @myra183a it does not exist, you're a poser

  • @myra183a glee is for faggots

  • @myra183a me too

  • Beep! Beep!

  • okay I'm a teenager, but Fashion was one of my all time favourite songs, looong before I even knew what the hell Glee was..

  • Ohh I made a contemporary choreo in this song when I was like 14 or sumthin' ..people didn't get the idea, they didn't like the music, and only because it wasn't partypopmainstreamshit.. shame

  • I had no idea this was covered by the cast of Glee until I came here and got curious from the comments... Why? The cover is so terrible. D:

  • @KingBobbles it is i listened to it and it doesnt come anywhere close to the original, i dont think its good, but i dont see why people are bothered by it lol

  • @KingBobbles Glee are a bunch of fags they suck dick

  • @KingBobbles Just went and listened to it... I don't want to live in this world anymore.

  • where the fuckin Fripp?

  • What does Glee have to do with this? O.o

  • FUCK GLEE

  • thumbs up if glee is a steaming pile of shit.

    fuck that

  • Love Bowie. Love Glee. Now everyone shut up.

  • I was just thinking.....maybe Bowie had a vision of Glee 20 years ago doing a cover of this.

    "We are the goon squad and we're coming to town....."

    hmmm... :p

  • Unfortunately the kids growing up today are fed mindless, uncreative brain rot and call it music. IMHO there hasn't really been anything good that has come out musically in the last 10 years or so.

    Glee...sheesh, reminds me of the little kiddie music records I would listen to between the ages of 2-4 years old. Its a shame the young ones growing up now call that music.

    Bowie has his own style and sound that could never really be covered by anyone else. They don't make videos like this anymore

  • @HibernusMortis1 Well said my friend...

  • thumbs up if glee brought you here

  • Oh god no, did Glee really cover this? How could they!?

    I'm sure a a large piece of me would die if I ever heard this masterpiece ruined...

    Remind me never to listen to their cover.

    Please.

  • Anyone ever heard of the word 'creativity'. It was something that played a huge part in the development of music over time. People like David Bowie had it, that's why people were drawn to them back in the day. Problem today is that your Simon Cowells and your Glees wouldn't understand creativity in a million years. Image, technical proficiency, photogenecy and spectactular production are ultimately nothing without a creative spark.

  • Fuch I hate these ads!

  • What you guys don't understand is that Glee needs permission to cover songs. Meaning, Bowe and his agents gave permission to do it. So don't hate on Glee....besides no one said their version is superior to the original. It's just a different era, and I think glee opens it for younger people to enjoy classics (Journey, queen, etc)

  • New wave comin !

  • why would glee cover this? that show is the most un-rock and roll show ever and not even a fashionable show!!!! wth

  • Ok I'm 16 and I dont really like glee, so... I think bowie version is better. Glee version is like... "new" but at the same time it sounds fake and cheap. & Glee fans I'll tell you somethink The glee fans from My school are the nerds and the ugly ones, so I dont need to fight with one of you, You are not at my level or any bowie's fan level. Thank you for reading.

  • @gustavovideo15 Glee did this song? Y'know, Glee screwed up some brilliant songs that I can't listen to the original versions...I'm surprise that Bowie gave them the rights to perform his songs

  • Glee what kind of gay shit is that

  • You dont need to be rude with "glee" It will make the new generations know the Bowie's music

  • We're not going to realize that glee sucks when we're older, because u old ppl listen to this, so u think it's better, but guess wat? We listen to glee and that's the stuff we'll be arguing to our kids about when we grow up, not this stuff. I don't care what the hell you think is better, but don't try to change MY opinion on what I think is good, because I am not YOU

  • wait... glee did this song?  what the hell?!

  • HEY Give Glee credit for doing a Bowie song Guys. I LOVE BOWIE. Major Tom. I LOVE GLEE TOO! Bowie > Glee.... But glee is awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • GLEE does it BETTER!!!! GLEE PWNS EVERY ORIGINAL VERSION!!!!!!!

  • @thedanniechannel OMG you are so wrong... I think their version is OK, but no one is better than David Fucking BOWIE

  • OMG I just saw the commentaries and then watched glee version... abobinable, horrible, and all the worst adjectives you may find in the dictionary. How they dare to do that with such a good song and artist as David Bowie. Then I wonder, were are we going? They don't respect anything or what???!!!

  • This is because of Glee... :B I prefer Lea Michele's version. So what?

  • @MatewNC If you like the Glee version, you do not have any understanding of music beyond superficial values. Therefore, go back to your children's music and leave the real people to enjoy real music :)

  • 9 people don't have fashion

  • I came here because of the Lea Michele version but I had to because I needed to get this song in my head after listening to her sing a song that she can't pull off.

  • cocaine is a hell of a drug!

  • Actually Grum brought me here and I'm proud of it.

  • David Bowie is incredible. Very odd, but incredible nonetheless.

  • 0:39 DO THE BUNNY HOP!!!!

  • @Troyman021 SO awesome.

  • like if good taste brought you here, and I don't mean Glee

  • 彼の作る曲は誰にも真似できない。

  • beep beep :)

  • bowie is a sex god :p

  • I'm not sure it's as much of a problem that Glee covered it, sure it will lead others on to this original which is great. I think it's more of a problem that because people heard it on Glee first, they're gonna totally think it's better than the original.

  • I think he's pretty hot :)

  • Thumbs up if you're a true Bowie fan ;)

  • @BowieGirl95

    I'm a poser, probably, but I still am going to like this.

    I am going to LIKE THE HELL OUT OF IT!

  • @BowieGirl95 have been for 30yrs

  • @appleman2500 YAY! Someone who understands my obsession ;D

  • @BowieGirl95 aw yea watching bowie is watching fine art in human form at his time and prime he can not be matched with his art of music look back in anger hooked me and wild as the wind

  • is the same crap any generation, I bet you when Bowie cam out your parents thought he was crap, now you think the music your kids listen is crap , to be fair Bowie wasnt the most talented he is a mediocre vocalist however he was original so he has that going for him,but is that enough Freddie Mercury that was a music god , so many telented musician out there stop the hate

  • @TheGMAT16

    Bowie, a mediocre vocalist... Man, go back to school or to whatever kindergarten you came from, you are not doing any favors to your generation if you try to defend it by using THIS kind of argument. Bowie is considered one of the best vocalists of the 20th century. Go watch Wild is the Wind to get a grip of the amount of CRAP that is spilling out of your brains just to defend that disgusting glee shit!!!

  • @mchelo18 I guess we will have to agree on desagree since in fact I took the time to listening the song you mention and I still stand by my opinion if you think it change my opinion it didn´t I still think he is a very original and good musician and maybe the mediocre term was a bit hard but there is no way he is one of the best VOCALIST you do know what that includes right (picth , range, color of voice, breathing control etc) , heck even his school school choir thought he was ¨adequate¨

  • @TheGMAT16 Sorry but I'm afraid you haven't listened to many Bowie songs (perhaps just the hit singles) if you think he's a mediocre vocalist. Pitch, range, color of voice & breathing control he does indeed have. He uses his voice to convey emotion and uses it like an instrument. Wild Is The Wind, Young Americans, Golden years, Heroes, Look Back in Anger, Life On Mars, the whole BAAL ep, Sorrow, Loving The Alien, Teenage Wildlife, Sweet Thing/Candidate... so many. Listen to those then rethink.

  • @Bodacea1 is true I have not listen to all of them but you were nice at your comment so I will look the one I haven't already heard, and maybe that change my mind and you say something that has a VERY VALID point that most of the song from him I have heard are hit singles and about 4 of the one you name so maybe the problem is when he trys to be to commercial and sound to techno for me does that make sense? again thank you for your comment this is how you argue properly

  • Why are people bitching if Glee is turning some people onto Bowie? Seriously.

  • Seriously everyone, who cares if Glee brought them here just stop posting shit about glee and we can all get along :P? just enjoy the song :)

  • Comment removed

  • Bowie ...still rocks hard out :)

  • although glee's version was fair, bowie is the only one who could ever sing this song perfectly. Glee sang it too sweetly. Go Bowie!!!

  • @dontfeedtheporpoise

    bulshit, nowadays everyone comes up with this BS argument, "it's great in its own way" to defend horrendous things like Glee's version of this song. They killed it, they simply do NOT get what the song is about, and everybody who liked it don't get it either.

  • ugh nobody can surpass david bowie!

  • OMG Glee surpassed.

    GLEE <3

  • LIKE IF THE MIGHTY Mr BOWIE BROUGHT YOU HERE AND NOT glee **blegh**

  • @MangaTokyoMewMew that cover was the worst one i've heard omg so bad

  • @MangaTokyoMewMew ...Glee did a version?!

  • Glee=Rubbish teen kids bop... I came here from David Bowie AND Damon Albarn!

  • This came on in a club i was at the other week and things got messy!

  • j'adore david bowie

  • I've been listening to this song since the eighties. I couldn't even watch the Glee version because it was SO AWFUL. The only cool cover I've heard of this song is by GRUM.

  • like if scary monsters brought you here...

  • Not his best song but David is SO sexy in this video, heheh :D

  • THAT's not a glee video, so stop debating about glee here, please :(

  • @dontfeedtheporpoise Er, no. Glee is a piece of shit.

  • Glee murdered this!

  • Glee r doing this song X

  • David Bowie is timeless. classic. and so fuckable.

  • 1:01 is that lyonel ritchie???

  • Fantastic tune by a great band. David Bowie kicks ass, Oh yea! look, 9 People really suck!!!!!!!!!

  • Bowie is the god of music. But...

    About Glee... Don't like it, don't watch it. Ignoring things that make you mad helps you live longer. Otherwise, you start acting like an old grumpy. Or a child. Wich is in both cases pathetic.

  • I just saw the glee promo and I screamed DAVID at teh top of my voice the second i heard the song! KYA! I love this song!

    BuT time will crawl is still my bias

  • Glee is better (:

  • @seppderoover1 yeah! glee did a nice version of this..us teens prefer the glee version cause is more "modern" but david bowie is david fucking bowie!

  • @seppderoover1 fuck you :D

  • @thegiverofbreath It's the truth (:

  • @seppderoover1 No. It's far from the truth. It's your opinion. ._.

  • @thegiverofbreath Dude , what's so good about this ?

    Glee sings it much better + The video is much better because it's full of hot people (:

  • @seppderoover1 You have no idea about popular culture or music or the entertainment industry if you think Glee's cover is better than Bowie.

  • @asmzmoatllb I bet your like some dude who's 40 orsomething ?

  • @seppderoover1 Nope, I am 18. I just appreciate good music.

  • @asmzmoatllb I appreciate good music to .. and Glee is for me good music

  • @seppderoover1 *too. Glee is not good music, and if you believe it to be good music you are not worth anybody's time. The fact that you judge music on superficial merits proves how naive and unintelligent you are, for example, you say that Glee sing"better" and the people are "hot" which ignores the lack of creative or artistic value in the cover. And, in all honesty, if you think Bowie can be outdone by ANYBODY you are as dumb as you appear.

  • @asmzmoatllb If i'm not worth anybody's time then just fuck off. My opinion is that Glee is better.

  • @seppderoover1 No, you are not worth anybody's time because of your opinion. Therefore: keep your opinion to yourself and stop antagonising people by stating your idiot views :)

  • @asmzmoatllb your kinda pathetic .. i'm not the only one who thinks Glee is better that this shitty version

  • @seppderoover1 No, you're pathetic for thinking that a kids TV soundtrack beats an internationally renowned solo artist. And you may not be the only idiot, but you're certainly in the minority - do you realise how many million people own/like this original version? It was on a number one album for Christ's sake! You really are thick. Now go back to watching your idiot TV and listening to shit music while people like me and the rest of the intelligent world enjoy Bowie.

  • @asmzmoatllb Do you really need to respond to everyone here that says the Glee version is better ?

    Just go listen to your dumb ass old music while the people with taste listen to the Glee version.

  • @seppderoover1 Oh Jesus, you are hilarious! Everything is wrong with what you said :D you tasteless piece of scum! haha! This music it creative, artistic, inventive and ahead of its time. Glee is nothing. In 5 years nobody will remember it! Without David Bowie, there would be no such thing as modern music. How old are you by the way? I feel as if I am arguing with a stubborn child.

  • @asmzmoatllb You know what , i'm not even gonna respond to you anymore. Your just pathetic. Glee is much better then this shit . BYE NOW

  • @seppderoover1 Typical 12 year old :) don't worry, when you grow up you will realise how fucking thick you are :)

  • @asmzmoatllb The only thing i'll realise when i grow up is that Glee is still better. Dumbass ;)

    Your not worth my time

  • @seppderoover1 :) well don't reply then, child :)

  • @asmzmoatllb Then*

  • @seppderoover1 Reading your comments is a study of ignorance and lack of intelligence. Pretty entertaining really.

  • @seppderoover1 Glee does not sing it better, they just sing it in a different way. David Bowie is a legend, his style is a legend and it's better than any remake that can ever be made. And David Bowie is a sexy beast, the grew from Glee are pretty fugly if you ask me. The only person I think is hot from there is probably the singing teacher guy.
