  • Glee is amazing but The Beatles are AMAZINGERRR!! :D

  • Beatles version= way better

    Glee version= could be better

    My version= **Neighbor: 911 there is a dieing cat in my neighbors house

  • is this auto tuned because if it is that is just disrespectful

  • @341techman Haha, of course it is. Don't you hear it?

  • Reminds me of children's music.

  • I like this version best

  • Best voice on Glee.

    And that's saying a lot

  • One of the many reasons why I love Chris Colfer <3

  • Comment removed

  • watching this this morning. this is now my favourite song. period.

  • Blaine: "It was like Oh, there you are. 'Where have you been all my life?"

    Me: IN A CUPBOARD UNDER SOME STAIRS!

    Fandoms UNITE!

  • I stopped watching glee when it got all autotuned

  • @HausOfMousie you should still watch it though it's really good :)

  • im sorry but if you don't like glee then y watch the videos some of us dont want the comment section being taken up by people who just watched the video so they could hate on glee. seriously if you dont like DONT WATCH!!!

  • @Smallworldmovies It's NEW Directions and Warblers.

  • -.- Glee is a singing group, Warberlers and One Directions are the name of the groups get your fatcs straight

  • Umm I feel the need to point out that it should be the warblers cover on here.

  • @kdancer1313 they are still part of the glee cast

  • @yardwork105 What I meant was that very technically this song is on the 'Presenting the Warblers' album. The format should be like the 'Somewhere Only We Know' setup on this channel. I just meant the picture should be different.

  • this is my FAVE song, most played on my ipod :P <3 <3

  • You have to admit that this is an amazing cover. Even if it'll never live up to the original, this definitely did the Beatles justice.

  • LOVED it :D

  • I love this cover, his voice is ahhhh-mazing! My ears are so happy right now!

  • There's no denying that Glee members have talent, but they should NEVER cover a beatles song, just leave them be.

  • @mwooff24 You could say they should "Let it Be." OH WIN!

  • Comment removed

  • i luved this! it is such a cute tune!!

  • what the fuck

  • Kurt is an inspiration and Chris Colfer plays his part and sings amazingly. No one should be leaving negative comments about him or his voice. If you don't like it then why even come and listen. If you don't have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Apparently none of your parents taught you that. If you don't like it just leave, don't make some nasty comment that could hurt someone's feelings. Chris works really hard and has a voice that people should envy. I love him and his voice <3

  • fu** to all you haters chris sings amazingly your just jealous you can't sing or you just want something to hate on

  • i want this as my ringtone :')

  • fuck this piece of shit

  • @timmerocks Oh you shut up. You don't know music!

  • @MissYenYenxD yes i guess i don't know music some stupid ass TV show is covering a song from one of the greatest bands in the world

  • @timmerocks yeah, that same TV show has won multiple awards and has huge fan base. I'm not saying the beatles aren't amazing because they are, but glee does the song justice, even though it's not better than the original.you don't need to be so mean

  • @timmerocks Stop hating on glee. They don't sing every song they sing better than the originals, But they do a pretty good job. They are still amazing. If you don't like the song so much, Don't listen to it! Stop the hating. Glee is amazing. I love Glee. So you know what, JUST BE QUIET, AND IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!! Great job Glee!! :)

  • Can we outlaw covers of beatles songs even the best just can't measure up and its paramount to sacrilege to attempt to.

  • Kurt :)

  • Awful version.. if you're gonna cover any great, timeless song, especially a great, timeless, Beatles song, AT LEAST MAKE A BLOODY GOOD ATTEMPT AT IT!!

  • honestly, i know im going to get bashed for this, but i like this version way better than the original. I don tlike Paul Mccartney's voice.........but thats just my opinion, no hate =]

  • @riveriisha You prefer Colfer's voice to McCartney's voice? That's kind of hilarious since Paul McCartney has a much better voice than Colfer. Colfer often sounds so shrill and horrible. Not really on this, as he's not trying to sing outside of his range. But go listen to say five random songs with McCartney singing lead vs five random songs with Colfer singing lead, McCartney will sound like a normal man throughout and Colfer will make noises that drive dogs insane. Truth.

  • @yosoyconsuela I think you need you ears testing if that's what you think this sounds like. Chris Colfer has a beautiful voice and is just as normal as Paul McCartney

  • @JackSparrowxxx1 I think you need your brain tested since you apparently lack reading comprehension skills. I clearly stated that Colfer sounds okay in this because he's singing within his range. My other comments were about his singing overall, not just this particular song. In general, Colfer often sounds shrill and screechy.

  • @yosoyconsuela No he doesn,'t. Chris sounds great in most of his songs. I also wrote that in the middle of the night, so yes, my brain was probably switching off at the time, it doesn't need testing. Unless you're talking about the chorus of candles, Chris doesn't sound shrill.

  • @riveriisha are you high?? macartnay wrote the song :/

  • @riveriisha I agree with you :-)

  • I don't think it's even the singer covering this that makes is less enjoyable, he has a nice voice for this song. It's the accent.

  • One of my favorite performances by Chris. He's amazing with the Beatles songs, and his voice is just breathtaking anyway. <3

  • PAUL MCCARTNEY SANG THIS! NOT JOGN LENON

  • @SkinsKenya jogn lenon? learn to spell one of the best musical geniuses EVER! D:

  • @kkrsreeshi You are an idiot Paul McCartney sang this song. Maybe you should listen to the original before you listen to this shit.

  • I think if Kurt had known it would take Pavorotti's death for Blaine to realize he liked Kurt, he would have killed that bird a long time ago.

  • @iTiltToLive That's disgusting.

  • @yosoyconsuela It was a joke... I, being a huge fan of Pavorotti, do not think that's a good idea. I was being sarcastic. I just... Wow.

  • @yosoyconsuela It was a JOKE.

  • @iTiltToLive xD

  • to all the haters out there: chris colfer and paul mccartney have different voices and styles of singing. i love the original version, but don't hate on glee. i think this cover did the original justice... and, honestly, many people who watch glee may have just been introduced to this song, hence, more beatles lovers (: it's like a win-win situation

  • I'm so glad that this isn't horrible, but it really isn't that great either. It's mediocre singing next to a pretty well done guitar cover. It's just... okay.

  • 112 people don't like the beatles D:

  • @MooMillieMoo i didnt think that was possible D:

  • @BedTimeProductions11 sadly some people in this world are deaf and are annoyed that they can't hear the beautiful music :'(

  • What is this fuckery?

  • Laughing at the people who thought that this song was originally sung by John Lennon, not Paul McCartney....

  • I put in blackbird and this popped up and out of curiosity I followed the link and now I wish I didn't. Everything is up for interpretation but in all honesty, they butchered a classic.

  • @LiveLoveAnSurf I love this version of the song, almost more than I love the 'Across The Universe' version and the original. I do indeed love the original. That being said, I feel this was a great rendition, and very worthy to be called a 'good cover'. I've heard some horrible covers of the song.

  • @LiveLoveAnSurf But, this is only my opinion. I thought to share it with you, seeing as we obviously have opposite ones.

  • @NaomiSatoism it's all good, people have different tastes in music and that's the way of the world. I've heard one cover of this that I really liked and that was Sarah McLachlan for the I Am Sam soundtrack.

  • @LiveLoveAnSurf I'll be sure to check that out. :)

  • they aren't trying to be better than the beatles. they are trying to act, to cover this song. they have completely different voices than the real artists. i don't understand why you have to hate when they are trying to just sing a song. can't they do a simple cover of a song without, "this is good, but it doesn't compare to the original", or, "glee ruined another song!", or, "this is awful. i thought this song was safe from glee." just STOP!

  • why don't i have this song in my ipod?

  • Amazing.

  • Geez look at all these peepz! Drink your haterade somewhere else. If you don't like the song then stop listening to it -_-

  • This sounds like an Abortion!!

  • Sooo good TTwTT

  • Klaine is formed in this episode! I love Blaine's face when Kurt's singing! :3

  • Klainers gonna Klaine. :3

  • It does some respect for the beatles song.......

  • Every time I thing this song I cry because it is so sad and good T_T

  • <3Kurt<3

    

  • the episode this was on was so happy and sad blain relized his love then the bird died

  • why people?! go and listen to the REAL version !!

  • @kaxakaxa11 If you hate this so much why did you listen to it? Seriously I like the original but this is a cover, with a lot of sentimental value to the fans of the show because of certain plot things that happen during the song. If you don't like it then YOU go listen to the original.

    I personally will be staying here and enjoying Chris Colfer's lovely voice.

  • This is not fucking autotuned, Chris Colfer can actually sing. I know you may not be able to tell talent, but he has it.

  • @RainbowEater54 Yes, Chris Colfer can sing, very well. but its true, this has been digitally touched up, as @soccerstar13421 said. I don't think autotuned is the right term, but in post production of recording this, they will have smoothed out the notes.

  • Everyone, auto-tune is a pitch correction tool that has been used to make the T-Pain effect. Its primary purpose is to correct pitch without being detected. When someone says this is auto-tuned, it is because they can hear the flattening artifacts from the plugin's procedure. Stop defending Chris Colfer over something he didn't even have a part in. The engineer did the auto-tune and he didn't do a good job of it. Use your heads and stop being defensive.

  • I love the fact that if you dont like a comment you can just spam it for no reason ^.^

  • It makes mee cry:'( I LOVE KURT/CHRIS! :')

  • the arrangement is great, but i personally find the lead singer wholly emotionless and bland...

  • @muzicmadnezz you have no soul

  • Me gusta.

  • this is way to fast boooooo

  • Christ Colfer so absolutely amazing.<3

  • PAVAROTTI ISNT BLACK. THIS IS RASCIST

  • Laughing at the people who think this is autotuned.

  • @soccerstar13421 all of glee is autotuned, they have to because they release episodes so often, so time to practice and rehearse as much as needed. true story bro.

  • @soccerstar13421 Why do you think it's not auto-tuned? I've used the plugin extensively before, and I can hear the artifacts from using it in this recording.

  • @soccerstar13421 Uh, yes it is. Every song on glee is digitally touched up. They wouldn't put those kids on camera without make-up, would they? It's the same basic principle. People aren't stupid, they can sense when something is fishy with what they're hearing, but you're all making a bigger deal of it than there is.

  • omg maybe in his past life kurt was john lenon !!!!

  • @kkrsreeshi paul mccartney actually wrote and sang this song originally.

  • @TheBlekah yeah i know that but i still think that kurt was john lenon!!

  • @kkrsreeshi NO.NO.NO.NO.

    And this song was sung by Paul McCartney, actually he's the only Beatle on the track. It was recorded during a time when the Beatles were having problems

  • @lovelyrita1943 i really dont care...

  • @kkrsreeshi Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird -.-

  • @JonToebash cool story bro

  • @kkrsreeshi It's Lennon you imbecile.

  • @yoshiisland13 oh no! im short one N!! someone call the cops!

  • @kkrsreeshi And you can stop there, you've proven your teenaged ignorance in one sentence. Blackbird was written and performed by Paul McCartney.

  • @vantiarch yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay my life is now complete

  • @vantiarch i was thinking that myself when i saw the commnt! :L

  • @WithADashOfFairyDust comment*

  • @kkrsreeshi ......Paul maybe?

  • @kkrsreeshi paul wrote and sang blackbird

  • @kkrsreeshi I have no idea who Kurt is but hopefully you are not Comparing John Lennon's voice to this Abortion!!

  • @deeppurple28 Tsk tsk tsk so tasteless. Haters.

  • @AznsRuleObviously Oh no I don't know if this has to do anything with Taste, more like, ORIGINALITY!

  • @deeppurple28 Really? Originality? This is a Glee, Glee always does covers.

  • @AznsRuleObviously Exactly, and they made an abortion out of this song!

  • @deeppurple28 We all have our likes and dislikes, and if you feel that this isn't in your song choices, that's fine. But a lot of people, including myself, enjoy this song and prefer no negativity.

  • @AznsRuleObviously Yeah and a lot of people eat at the olive garden, does that mean its good food?

  • @deeppurple28 No, people eat at the Olive Garden because they don't have shit to eat and it's cheap. Not the point.

  • @AznsRuleObviously 9 in 10 Americans also believe in god, does that mean he or she exists?

  • @deeppurple28 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and for the record, I'm an athiest.

  • @AznsRuleObviously Yes BUT, 9 in 10 isn't just a majority, it is an Overwhelming Majority! And does that mean they are right just because they are the majority?

  • @deeppurple28 No because there is no real proof. This is getting off topic and everyone knows arguing over the internet is pointless, so farewell and stop hating.

  • @AznsRuleObviously No hate here, just stating the Facts! Facts say that this Cover is an abortion compared to the original!

  • @kkrsreeshi awkward for you paul mccartney sings this song :L

  • @MusicLover8498 what does me thinking that Kurt might have been John Lennon in his past like have anything to do with blackbird? i never compared to him Paul McCartney and yes i know he was the one who "originally" sang and wrote blackbird, but im sorry to say to all the Beatles lovers, i like it better when kurt sings it

  • @kkrsreeshi no, idiot, McCartney was the sole creator of this song, idiot.

  • @TheAnnette10 i appreciate your opinion. 

  • Comment removed

  • RIP Tom Horan.

  • cover hey jude!:D

  • Wow nice autotune!

  • @woutkonings this isn't autotuned ><

  • I think that some songs glee does are just well uneeded sometimes the original is just better but when they do mash up or harmonies like this one i feel thats why people watch glee every once in an episode they strike gold

  • How can people like glee yeah they have good singers but they make money off of other peoples music.

  • im a hardcore classic rock fan, and i actually just came in this video to dislike it since i thought it would be terrible if it was on Glee.

    But surprisingly, this was actually pretty good. They actually had the song covered alright with good harmonies and a nice lead vocal. Ive never watched this show before and i thought it was stupid, but i think im going to change my mind now after this video.

  • @vhrvnd080 this just prove don't judge a book by its cover -.-

  • @vhrvnd080 so you came on here to hate and realized you couldnt lol glad you liked it though

  • her voice is obviously animated

  • @AZmonsoon6 her?? :L it's kurt singing ( chris colfer) singing :/ and his voice is amazing!!! and how the hell can a voice be "animated" ??? idiot. xx

  • can you not hear ITs voice???? i wanna hear IT live and compare it to this animated shit. the beatles are true singers especially the man who gave IT the oppurtunity to sing this song Paul McCartney

  • No. You butchered this song. F*ck you.

  • @allycias14 Yeah! Someone else with sense on this site with some sense.

    

  • rachel and fin should sing half of my heart

  • I love Chris's version of this song, he has so much talent going for him. I am all for Gleeks fighting, but sometimes you are taking it too far. Not everyone has to like Glee. Blackbird fly.

  • Whether you hate Glee or not, you can't deny the talent on that show. It's bursting at the seams with it.

  • Good lord there is so much auto-tune and compression on the voice.  It's been hammered to death by software.

  • @Flubly not true! why dont u go and watch one of his videos from glee live and see just how amazing he is without auto tune!!! because that high F he can hit aint no Autotune crap! I think i would know im his biggest fan! and if u know so much about singing then send me a video of u singing and i will see if u can do any better which i highly doubt!

  • @krissyluvzcolfer You're being really defensive. I didn't say anything about him and his actual voice, I was talking about the engineering. I do mixing and mastering regularly and Antares auto-tune is in my plugin line-up, I know what it sounds like when it's used liberally instead of as a micro-tuner.

    You need to gain some objectivity. I literally said nothing about the singer himself and you immediately assumed I was attacking his abilities. Calm down.

  • @Flubly ...do you even know what autotune is? ..yeeah it's not this dumbass. <3 ignorant people.

  • @MikaMeMe I'm guessing that you think that the only form of autotune is shit like Cher or T-Pain, but IT IS NOT!!! That's a way of using autotune, yes, in fact, it's probably more innovative and unique than what autotune is usually used for. What autotune is usually used for, is making people's singing sound better. it doesn't matter what note you actually sing, if autotune wants to hear an A, it will record your voice as if you sang an A. Autotune is a disgrace, it should be banned forever.

  • @MikaMeMe Auto-tune isn't a stylistic effect, dear, it's a plugin made by Antares (at least that's the industry standard). It can be used tastefully by employing the manual editor for the pitch envelope and not relying on automatic detection that hammers the signal to a specified key. Whoever the engineer was on this record used the plugin liberally and with minimal effort to cover his tracks. Also, you're talking to someone who owns the plugin. Do your research before calling people ignorant.

  • @Flubly lolol oooook. if you wanna listen songs 'butchered' by auto-tune, go listen to kesha or miley cyrus. because this is as much talent as your going to find in the music industry nowadays. i think you should appreciate it, not criticize it.obviously it's not going to be as good as the original, but oh well. you're ruining it for people that actually enjoy it ;).

  • @MikaMeMe The talent of the recording engineers? I don't understand what you're talking about. I already explicitly said I wasn't talking about Chris Colfer and his ability as a singer. Did you not even read my comment? Just sensed that it was negative and responded with a generic defense?

  • It's not the original, we all know this...But it is nice. Respect talent when it's there.

  • hooo boy this is terrible. i think i'll stick with the actual version of this song.

  • @ohcalcutta81 your a douch... has anyone ever told you that?

  • I really love this song, but I dislike Glee...ugfdhfkdhgj STOP MAKING ME LIKE GLEE YOU STUPID SONG! Does not compute....I guess everything is great with the Beatles. :3

  • EWW GLEE COPYRIGHTED THE BEST BAND EVER????!!!!!!!

  • @beatlesgirl104 im going to call you douch # 2 .. is that all right with you?

  • who's the main singer from glee in this song?

  • @ogbemi123 chris colfer Is his name :p or, well. kurt is his character.

  • @ogbemi123 Kurt

  • Well, there is YET ANOTHER song butchered by these wannabees,

  • @skiiddo OMfreakingJESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    EFFING keep your stupid hating comments to urselfs! i would bet 1000000$ that u CANT sing worth a DIME so shut your face !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @krissyluvzcolfer I'm english, so your dollars and dimes mean nothing to me, ha! I'm guessing from your grammar and spelling that you must be a 12 year old girl, and your opinion is invalid to me. I'm just going to point out that I can and do sing, I'm in a band, and I mean an ACTUAL band, playing REAL music. None of this modern pop bullshit. This song has been overproduced and autotuned to what little girls would call perfection, which is a long way of saying 'this song has been ruined'.
