  • Sorry if I get into fights with people on here about there opinions when they come and say the originals better. When I don't like the voice I'm hearing or version I do the .. you know.. logical thing and get off the page ASAP might even go listen to the original and comment nice things.

  • i love her voice.

  • wat a lovely voice!!

  • rachel has a great voice, we all know this! but no cover will ever compare to joni mitchell and those high notes she can reach so beautifully.

  • How about instead of talking about who gets more solos than who, we focus on how good this sounds?

  • Rachel has the best voice EVER! When I found out she sang this song, I thought it would be weird, but itt's fantastic! Rachel's just sort of snobby, but if anyone's a bitch, it's Santana.

  • This is her first Solo this season

  • could she be anymore perfect?

  • I love this song so much <3

  • But, I do believe that the other characters deserve to be a 'Star' for just an episode. They'll get the chance to be the focus even just one of the episodes. Just so people won't forget that they're still part of the Glee Club. Ya know what I mean? :)

  • I love Naya's voice and she is clearly one of my fave characters in the show. Rachel is...well, Rachel. People have to understand that having more solos than the others is part of her character. Do you think she'll still be Rachel if she's singing at the back as a back-up? No. Because part of her character is being a STAR. Rachel is THE star. So whether you like it or not, she'll be performing much more than any other characters.

  • this is just simply beautiful. <3

  • who is this song originally by?

  • @xStarlyn101x Joni Mitchell originally did this song... you should look it up (the original), it's amazing!

  • @AmelieRoyale i thought it was sarah mclaticlin

    spelled her name soo wrong

  • Anyway...

    I love this song, it's one of my favorite Christmas songs and Rachel did a good job with it.

  • While I agree that Rachel deserves her frequent solos, I think Santana deserves the ones she gets just as much. Sure, she shouldn't get as many as Rachel (and she doesn't), since she's not the main character, but I see no reason to complain about the fact that she's gotten a few more lately, especially since the fact that she has is probably due to the fact that she just had a story arc!

  • WTF. The awkward moment when a top comment misspells Santana as Satan...

  • Rachel's ambitious and shows she actually cares about getting solos.

    Everyone else's fault for not wanting it as much as she does.

    Solos to Berry! 

  • Glee can toy around with pop songs all it wants, but it needs to stay away from the classics. Seriously.

  • @blowupyes i totally disagree Glee brings the classics out for a reason to show them to a new generation that never heard them duh and besides Glee's cast never butchers any song they do

  • I like this song, and I don't dislike Rachel and while she is a good singer and she does work hard for the solos it is annoying that she constantly gets ALL OF THEM ... I mean Santana, Quinn and Mercedes are just as talented [in different genres] and all deserving ... Rachel has more of a Broadway voice, Quinn is more pop, Santana is the sultry slow smooth tunes, and Mercedes got soul ... They all need a chance to shine, not just Rachel

  • Oh, she reminds me so much of Joni Mitchell when she sings this.

    And yes, she does deserve most of the solos she gets, but not all. They do need to show some more of the talent in the group, like Mercedes, Quinn, Tina... etc. And when she walked in in S2 with tape on her mouth, I wanted to punch her as much as everybody else did. (Fictionally of course).

  • Yes! Rachel and her amazing solos are back!! if they go away again I just might die! I love santana and mercedes but nobody beats my rachel=]

  • Best song from this year's Glee Christmas episode. . . .

  • I love that I'm not the only who thinks Rachel deserves the solos she gets. She works for them.

  • um if you're gonna complain about someone getting all the solos can we talk about blaine????????? because fuck santana has been singing a lot but at least she's an incredible singer and she deserves everything she's getting. blaine has been singing a fuck ton since last season so um yeah he can go away now. also this song is perf.

  • I really freaking love this.

  • wtf!? y is it that every vid i click on, there are ads!!

  • love it

  • this is such a beautiful song!!<33

  • has anyone else noticed that artie turns into a dick when he's directing?

  • NO THIS IS WRONG I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EARS WERE JUST SUBJECTED TO THIS :(((((((((

    i'm so sorry joni, i'm so very sorry

  • @Geoff109 Rachel did sing this song...

  • @jadelynne2714 You're misunderstanding his meaning. He said he's glad she wasn't sad and heartbroken in this episode, that she sang it for other reasons :)

  • @jadelynne2714 but not because she was sad about her and finn breaking up, like last year with merry christmas darling

  • Comment removed

  • I like Rachael but, she has got more solo's than anyone lolx I'm a little happy there a re a few getting solos now. Santana has an AMAZING voice. I would love to hear her sing more. Along with Mercedes. She's one of my Favorites. Also, Brittany :) And Possibly Artie as well. Rachael just sings a lot of solos lol give other people a shine. But, I still LOVE her because no doubt she's amazing just like the rest :)

  • i'm so glad that Rachel didn't sing this song because she was sad and heartbroken in the new Christmas episode!

  • the replay button screamed for more.

  • Sorry guys, Rachel actually deserves the solos she gets. I love Naya's voice and all, and I'm not saying Rach should sing EVERY song, but I just want to hear her once in a while as well. I'm tired of listening to Mercedes and Satan duets constantly (although not complaining about Rumor Has It/Someone Like You).

  • @ScarredFromKnowing satans in glee?!

  • I'd like to add that not many of any of the characters have had many solos. most of even Santana's where duets.

    Kurt, Blaine, Puck, Beiste, Rory, Rachel, Britt were the only ones who and solos all one (Rory & Blaine had 2)

    Check your Facts ya'll!

  • This really is a depressing song, rofl. Lea did a beautiful job tho.

  • Ok, so Lea gets too many solos, so they give some all to Naya. Now she's getting too much? Omg shut up.

  • People are just jealous of her. Her voice is flawless.

    Anyhow, I'm going to sob like a baby if Finn leaves Rachel to go to the army D:

  • God, people, learn some respect. Lea is amazing vocalist, her voice is a true gift from Above. I'm pretty sure she is better than every one of you haters, you can go and listen the original. This is cover, pretty good one, respect the talent! And please, Glee, give Rachel her solos back!

  • No one can sing this but Joni Mitchell, she is the only one who can put the subtle emotion into this song and make it beautiful. Lea has a good voice but she has made this over breathy and 'show tuney'. Not happy Glee, you don't touch Joni!

  • @whalepieisyum Okay go to the original then. I feel her emotion and everyone who actually is looking for it and not just waiting to bitch it out as worse than the original. breathy? I don't see it she can sing and dance around for hours live and not be 'breathy' show tuney? No hun, thats what someone who can sing amazingly sounds like

  • @Gleek1able Alright love calm down, just giving my opinion as you just gave yours. Sure Glee's a good programme and they have amazing singers i just don't think that this version is anything on the original. I wasn't on here to bitch, i came here to see what it sounded like so i could decided which i like better. Everyone is allowed their own view, i respect yours but please don't shove it down my throat (:

  • i love this song so much

  • lea is amazing on this but they should have let quinn sing it. her character fits the lyrics so much better.

  • @brplaut eww. Her character fits nothing more than a coffin. Let her be dead and over with. Her voice is terrible too.

  • @287asdfghjkl SHUT UP FUCKING DUMBASS

  • @heytherehello999 Same.

    

  • First video I've ever "disliked". -_-

  • Joni Mitchell is better, I understand the pop songs, but just leave well enough alone!

  • Ohh, this is all right, and I like Lea, but this would be so much better suited for Dianna in my opinion. It's Joni Mitchell, and she's wonderful because she's got soul and doesn't have to be precise and perfect. If they can cover Katy Perry a zillion times, I hope they give Dianna (or maybe Jenna) Help Me.

  • This is perfect for Lea. Her first solo of the season. I honestly think it's amazing and one of her best besides Merry Christmas Darling.

  • @glamorousxbarbie jesus is it really?? you know as much as i like the other guys the competition episode where rachel was banned completely sucked. I kinda liked the troubletons songs and thought yeah okay maybe they could do this without rachel. But then she sang lead in the song at the end and I was like. man.. THATS why lea gets all the solo's

  • @BiblicalTaz Yeah. This is so her song. Yeah, you know. There are some songs out there that Glee has done that was perfect for Lea. The fact that Ryan, Ian, and Brad know what songs to give the cast is amazing and brilliant.

  • Darn! that's MY girl <3 

  • i love this song, but i'm afraid of WHY rachel is singing it :(

  • i wish the version a friend of mine did a variety show , it wass soooo goood,

  • i think quinn needs solos who agrees!?

  • While everyone thinks that Rachel is an annoying bitch who gets all the solos, I see her as an aspiring performer, singer, and songwriter in that Glee club. Other than Kurt, no one in that Glee club is focused on a long term goal (career) like Rachel. Yet at the same time, even a small problem feels like a broadway show for Rachel, i'm sure we must have felt that through "What I did for Love?" in s2. Also, Rachel sings showtunes to pop to rock to metal to run joey run, which imo Santana can't!

  • @chinaprincess98 omg so much agreed :)

    

  • @chinaprincess98 Thankyou! At least someone has some sense!

    GO RACHEL!

  • @chinaprincess98 well the producers sometimes make her act like tht. see me and my sister <3<3<3 her its just in the christmas episodes she bothers us for some reason. but i completley agree :)

  • I don't know how people can compare Naya and Lea... they are both great singers in their own respects. They have such different voices, so it is really hard to compare. Lea also has significantly more experience with all of her Broadway work and such, so it is really easy for people to justify that she is a better singer!

  • I love naya getting the solos her voice is the best

  • The restraint she shows in this song #sigh Better than when she belts!

  • Oh My Gosh I Love This Song!!!!!! So glad that Glee is doing it, and in the Christmas episode! Yes!

  • Comment removed

  • i love the original version of this, and i listen to it on end every year, and lea's version just blew me away. wow. i'm tearing up. and yes, i think lea needs more solos.

  • Seriously i agree, Santana is getting EVERY solo in glee :/ its really annoying.

  • Rachel is my idol and has never failed to give me the chills every single time she sings :) I love her and this song!!!

  • Okay i love Santna SOOO Much But really Everyone gets mad at rachel for singign every song but its really santana and i love this song she sounds liike a angle its so soft and im so happy Rachel got a solo this season :) <3

  • Comment removed

  • I missed her singing, I swear they don't understand balance, giving the other glee members a chance doesn't mean we can't hear her undeniably amazing vocals <3

  • such a different christmas song but think its really beautiful and one of my favs of rachel's :) beautiful lyrics and voice to match :) hope they have another xmas episode and include this song <3

  • i cried the first time i heard this. so beautiful and compliments Leas voice

  • LOVING that Rachel has an entire song to herself, but I'm going to get really pissed if they break Finn and Rachel up again. It's like they haven't even been together this season. I can count on my one hand how many "moments" they've had that makes it obvious that they're a couple. I am really not a fan of this season.

  • love this song!

  • It's the lyrics of this song that make me worry about this episode. Please tell me Finchel is okay, or seriously, I'll die. die.

  • @neonglowstickz There is a 'cute' Finchel scene and Finn is going to buy Rachel a necklace, but Santana convinces him to buy her earings instead. That doesn't sound like they are going to break up in this episode. There has been some suggestion that Rachel sings this to Quinn, no idea why, but I'm pretty sure Finchel is safe. The writers said there wasn't going to be any break-ups this year, though Lauren broke up with Puck in The Purple Piano Project.

  • I love this song, and I'm impressed that they chose it for Glee. And Rachel is perfect for it. Awesome points for you, Glee writers.

  • Can you believe this is her first solo? I love Naya, but she is getting EVERY damn song this season, can we go back to Lea singing? Rachel is the co-captain of the glee club

  • Comment removed

  • @katiemcconnell9 yea but those are not solos..duh

  • @katiemcconnell9 None of those were solo songs... she sang them with other people.

  • @Gl33kff I agree!

  • @Gl33kff what do you mean her first solo? she sang "don't rain on my parade".... or are you talking about someone else?

  • @Elisheval I mean in season three. She had a lot of solos in season one and two, but this is her last year and she deserves some solos. Hope that cleared everything up for you :)

  • isn't this song after sectionals? :P

  • She has such a beautiful voice. <3

  • LEA NEEDS MORE SOLOS! :( i love naya BUT i rly miss lea's solos!! D:

  • @blue080818 same !! i understand that they need to start focusing on the other characters, cause they mostly focused on rachel and fin last season, and because they are graduating this year, but that doesnt mean that they cant give rachel any solos :(

  • @blue080818 me too! She has such a beautiful voice!

  • this seems like such s sad song what could have happened to Rachel for her to sing this song?

  • Comment removed

  • Bad new's Rachel Fans.... she won't be at Sectionals... the episode before that (I Kissed A Girl) she get's Suspended.... at least Sam (Chord) Will Return!!

  • @2kooltwins - WHAT?! Who says?!

  • @fatmanonpony07 What do you mean by that?

  • @2kooltwins what??!!! where did you hear this from??! :O :O 

  • @PrincessHv101 just wait and see

    

  • @PrincessHv101 It's all over the glee wiki and some other glee spoiler sites. It's to do with the student president election; I won't spoil it for you. Sam comes back, because with Rachel out of New Directions they need the extra member. Some bands guys have to join in as well. Rachel is only out for a week, so she's back at school for this episode.

  • such a good song

  • okay even though i think Rachel has WWAAAAAAAAAAAYYY to much solo's, i think she diserves them the most

  • Give Lea Michele her solos back!!!! <3

  • So glad they didn't mess this up, i don't think i'd ever have forgiven Glee if they jazzed up a Joni Mitchell song with an autotuned group song or an ill placed rap. It's so lovely <3 Bravo Lea Michele!

  • i think everyone on glee is a good singer some of them just dont get a chance to show their talent

  • "So excited to shoot this scene/musical number today. It's one of my favorite Christmas songs that always makes me cry! Can't you guess..??:)" -via msleamichele on twitter!! AHHHHH

  • LEA MICHELE MAKES MY LIFE!

  • rachel <3

  • I love this song but the narrative of it worries me in the context of Glee... I want Rachel to be happier this Christmas!

  • I like Darren's brother's version best. Theo Katzman is a BAMF!

  • @mollywobbles23 I love his version too! But Theo Katzman isn't Darren's brother.

  • @NataGrace19 Really?! You sure? :/ I remember when Darren did some thing for youtube where it was all like "celebrities top ten picks" or something for music playlists he listed a Theo Katzman song "White Picket Castle" and said it was his brother's group. At least that's what I seem to be remembering but i could totally be wrong, though they do look extraordinarily similar and def could be related- but again I could be wrong.

  • @mollywobbles23 yea, I just watched the video again. He does mention his brother's band in the video, but his bro is in the Freelance Whales. But wow, I love Theo's music, I'm glad Darren shared it!

  • Joni Mitchell and Lea Michele, i'm in heaven. I've been praying for Lea to do a Joni song on Glee for ages.

    EARGASM.

  • This needs more views! Its so pretty!

  • I WANT MORE RACHEL SOLOS

  • beautiful song!

  • Is this by SHania or Faith or Martina?

  • @SimbaGirlRules it's by Joni Mitchell

    

  • Oh...I love it when she sings soft like this.

  • i'm sorry.... but this cover just isn't that great.. points for creativity, but the piano at the least could have been much better. (smoother, please!)

    but then again, "river" by sarah mclachlan is one of my favorite christmas songs.

  • this is seriously beautiful. like shivers beautiful. it sounds more lea than rachel, if that makes sense. thank you lea michele and i seriously hope this is in the episode <3

  • Amazing!!!

    I'm in love with Lea's voice!!! <3

  • Good song for Rachel. Not just the voices and lyrics, but the fact thats its not too Chirstmas-y. That was one of my biggest complaints with last year's Christmas episode. Rachel seemed much more Christian than Jewish. It was actually really annoying.

  • @AlissaGranger she seemed more christian, because she was doing everything she could to impress finn

  • @AlissaGranger Lol you know most Christmas songs are written by Jews?

  • tina should have sung this

  • This better be in the episode, Rachel hasn't had a solo song all season.

  • @LikesRandomStuff OMG ur right! I didnt even notice that until I read ur comment. She has sung a lot, but not by herself! Hmm. Weird.

  • @LikesRandomStuff She totally has. In the first episode

  • @futurephotographer15 You Can't Stop The Beat and We've Got The Beat and group songs which she has solo's in, not a solo number. She's had a few duets, Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead is the one that is in that episode, no fully sung Rachel song though.

  • @LikesRandomStuff I think it's good she hasn't had many solo's so far. Other people need to shine like Tina

  • @futurephotographer15 I agree with you, but when Mike has had a solo song before Rachel, something is a bit strange. I love Tina's voice, but all she has really sung is a line in America, and back-up in Mercedes' Spotlight. Rachel is a senior, while Tina is a junour. The only people really singing this season are Blaine, Santana and Mercedes.

  • @LikesRandomStuff Yea, I understand. But this was Mike's very first time singing which was a big deal

  • @futurephotographer15 He also was surprisingly good, Tina must be a good teacher. Been nice talking to you.

  • @futurephotographer15 ya, but tina isn't a very interesting/good singer.

  • @TheRoadLessRiden She's amazing they all are

  • @LikesRandomStuff What about Quinn and Tina

  • @TheHotSexBomb Interesting name. I love both of their voices, but it's not like they have had heaps of solos in previous seasons. Rachel had four solos in three episodes at the start of season 2. Spoiler, they are both featured at Sectionals, which is the episode before the Christmas one, so that should be nice. I just wish glee would stop being the Rory and Baine show and focus back to the original characters, such as Rachel.

  • @LikesRandomStuff but Rachel is gone next season, they need to focus on characters that are going to be main cast next season, Blaine is one of them, not too sure if they are gonna keep Rory, but Blaine is definitely going to be there, because they have made it clear he is a year before Kurt

  • @DangerousFayth I have nothing against Blaine, but ever since Teenage Dream he has had a large amount of screen time. He is still going to be around, so why waste talent that isn't. If they are bringing characters who are still going to be around to the front of the show, where is Tina and Artie? Lea tweeted that she has to prepair for a Rachel solo, so I think that means this is going to be in the show, since it is to my knowledge they are up to filming the Christmas episode. Year after Kurt.

  • @DangerousFayth Lea,Cory,Harry and the seniors arent leaving they already said they arent. if you go to GleeOnFox's channel they talk about it but there not leaving after they graduate

  • @NinjaBunnehs I didn't know Harry was staying. I would love to see those interveiws, but being Australian I can't get on that channel, or comment on their videos, which is a pain. What else do they say?

  • @LikesRandomStuff thank god for that. hahahah just kidding. kinda.

  • @LikesRandomStuff urm neither has artie, quinn, finn, mercedes or tina calm the hell down

  • @healthyholemealbread So, Spotlight isn't a Mercedes' solo? Look I have calamed down, and I could have written the comment gentler maner, but I'm a huge Lea Michele fan and I've been missing her voice this season. Tina and Artie are jouners, so they'll be around next year, Finn had a fair bit to sing in two of last episode's mash-ups and Quinn has never really sung much in the first place. I think the song has been confirmed, so my original comment is almost invalid now.

  • @LikesRandomStuff she has had a lot of solos in the previous two seasons so i actually think its good that they arent giving her all the solos anymore

  • @Purplemoosiy I suppose you're right, but there is a difference between having 'all the solo' to none. I think it's good that some of the others are stepping up, especially Naya, but Lea can sing things that no one else can. I don't like comparing the actors' voices, because they all are strong in different areas, but for me Lea can cover the most styles, which lets her sing so many differnt songs. She can do this and Katty Perry. I just want a nice balance on glee, not replacing a vital member.

  • @LikesRandomStuff thank you finally somebody else notices i mean now santana is getting all the solos and dont get me wrong i love her voice but they take ALL the solos from one girl and give it to another one i think they should just distribute the songs evenly to all the cast :) let them all have a chance

  • @bananabuck Preach! People are complaining when Rachel gets one song, while most of ND and TT has already had more. Naya deserves the chance to sing, but Lea is much more emotional. With Rachel banned for Sectionals and all that there really shouldn't be any complants about her getting all the songs, which some people have responded to my comment with. Rachel is co-captain of the club and one of their most experienced singers, she should be singing more songs than the majority of the cast.

  • @LikesRandomStuff you basically read my mind :D when the others come back to new directions and if they complain about the solos ima be soo pissed

  • @LikesRandomStuff Thank you! That doesn't seem to bother most people, but I keep hoping every episode that she's going to get an entire song to herself or at least a duet with Finn, but it hasn't happened.
