So far that was pretty easy. It will be interesting to see what wins.

- Why was “Teenage Dream” not a part of this voting list.
  It was the most downloaded ever… It should have definitely been a contender….
  Comment by JAXCRUZ – July 1, 2011 05:03 AM PDT Reply To This Post
  - “64-player”
    
    We’ve only seen 8 so far. And there’s a link in the column to ALL 64 contenders.

  - Agreed! And Umbrella/Singing in the rain. And Blame it on the Alcohol (one of my alltime fave glee-dos!)

  - i completely agree because i luv teenage dream by the warblers especially because it makes you feel like it is being sung to Kurt

- My favorite glee number isn’t even in the bracket!! TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART!
  Comment by AMANDA – July 1, 2011 06:14 AM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Total Eclipse of the Heart should totally be on there! Love that one! I also enjoyed Sam and Quinn singing I’ve Had the Time of My Life!
    Comment by Eve – July 1, 2011 10:51 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - My TWO favorite numbers are not in the bracket. Total Eclipse of the Heart and Rolling in the Deep. How did Hello make it in as the Jesse/Rachel duet over those two? CRAZY!!
      Comment by Cody – July 7, 2011 01:32 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- I think I Take Me Or Leave Me should win the “Deep River” and another, Don’t Stop (Fletwood Mac) should be there too.
  Comment by Augusto – July 1, 2011 11:48 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Lucky is much better than “Baby” but because it was by Klaine it will automatically win
Comment by Eric – June 30, 2011 01:27 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Agreed! I so hate Kurt!

- Lucky was decent. It wasn’t great.
  Comment by K – June 30, 2011 03:45 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - I agree. I don’t think either of these should beat River Deep, Mountain High, personally, but I don’t know if anyone will agree with me on that.
    Comment by Alice – June 30, 2011 08:05 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I agree with you. River Deep, Mountain High is one of the best duets on the show (come on, it’s ‘Tana and ‘Cedes, had to be awesome like that), IMHO, of course. Second only to the Kurt/Rachel duets (my top two of these are Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy and For Good <3)
      Comment by Ana – July 1, 2011 11:46 AM PDT Reply To This Post
      - No… River Deep was… meh…
        
        Take Me Or Leave Me was a real DIVA-OFF!!!!
        Comment by QWEQWE – July 1, 2011 02:44 PM PDT
      - Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy duets by Kurt/Rachel are de best
        Comment by Alexandria – July 1, 2011 09:09 PM PDT
- I totally agree.
  Comment by Formix – June 30, 2011 03:46 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Totally agree. Klaine seems to get all the nods when I’m mainly voting for the best song. I’m not as sold on Darren Criss as so many others are. He is good but IMHO he doesn’t blow me away like others feel. Love Kurt though. Lucky was a simple jazz type of song. Sweet subtle and so pure. It really got to me.
  Comment by smccullough – June 30, 2011 03:58 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Totally agree with your comment. DC is way overrated. I didn’t particularly like Lucky but he wasn’t in it so in my eyes it was better…
    Comment by Cathy – June 30, 2011 06:33 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Agree 100%! Blaine and Darren Criss are overrated. Sorry to say I’m already sick of him after one season. His fans make plans to spam the polls, message boards, twitters of writers, etc to get attention. Many of them aren’t even Chris/Kurt fans, they are only Klaine fans because they know that Kurt is Blaine’s ONLY connection on the show.
    Comment by Angie – July 1, 2011 12:35 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I have to partially agree with you. While I absolutely adore Darren and his awesome nerdy-ness, I cannot STAND Blaine. Don’t ask me why, maybe because I was expecting a much more well-rounded and awesome character for Darren than Blaine. So, I can’t stand Klaine either. I don’t even like Baby It’s Cold Outside that much, but since I hate Glee’s version of Lucky, I had to vote for Baby. It was a tough decision, though!
      Comment by Ana – July 1, 2011 11:51 AM PDT Reply To This Post
      - Love “Baby it’s cold outside”, love Kurt, hate Blaine (too much of a big brother) , like Darren Criss…
        Comment by Lily – July 4, 2011 05:24 PM PDT
- Heck to the Yeah
  Comment by s – June 30, 2011 04:14 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Or maybe Justin Beiber’s fans are behind it.
  
  Maybe some of us just like Baby better. I know that it’s a difficult concept to grasp. Just take your time trying to understand that we all don’t share the same taste in music as you. I’d hate to see you pull something.
  Comment by Michael – June 30, 2011 05:04 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Baby it’s cold outside isn’t Beiber.
    Comment by Chrissy – June 30, 2011 05:32 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - I’d hate to see you pull something (like head out of your behind)– thinking that American classic from 1949 was by Justin Beiber.
    Comment by DogBoy – June 30, 2011 06:12 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - While I’m pulling my head out of my behind, I have a strong feeling that I’ll find yours lodged in much deeper. Not what I was referring to when I blamed the Bieber fans.
      Comment by Michael – July 1, 2011 02:28 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - I think Michael was commenting on the fact that Justin Beiber had all his fans vote for Javier Colon so he would win The Voice, and suggesting that perhaps Beiber fans did the same here since the song has “Baby” in the title. I could be wrong, but that was my immediate thought and I thought it was funny.
    
    Baby is a classic song that has stood the test of time and was performed really well. Lucky is a great song, but as it was performed on Glee it seemed like they were trying to sell us something that I just wasn’t buying.
    Comment by Marissa – July 1, 2011 09:55 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - You aren’t wrong and thanks for clarifying what really shouldn’t have needed clarification. The two posters just wanted to get in their snippy two cents. Too bad it wasn’t even worth that.
      Comment by Michael – July 1, 2011 02:21 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Lucky is a great example of Good Glee – a focused character moment that organically culminates in a song (and a very cute scene with some great chemistry).
  
  Baby It’s Cold Outside is a perfect example of Bad Glee – Take a sure-to-be crowd pleaser (one of the best standards from the brilliant Frank Loesser’s catalog), give it to your most popular couple, and force it in via a shoehorned-in scene that bares no relationship to the rest of the plot and is LITERALLY the only time the whole episode we even see them.
  Comment by John – July 1, 2011 08:24 AM PDT Reply To This Post
  - In fact, Kurt and Blaine have no chemistry while Sam and Quinn nail it! A good example of GOOD GLEE, and the main reason of why it’s so popular is: Don’t Stop Believeing, in the first and last episode of the first season. The scond season totally sucked.
    Comment by Daniel – July 1, 2011 08:42 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I don’t think we’re watching the same show. The chemistry between Kurt and Blaine was off the charts when they performed Baby, It’s Cold Outside. Sam and Quinn were boring, which is why they eventually were broken up. Lucky was an okay performance, but hardly memorable.
      Comment by K – July 2, 2011 11:16 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I think what was meant by “Bad Glee” was that “Baby it’s cold outside” (BICO) did not seem to fit in the plot at that time… However, the duet was one step further to make Kurt believe that Blaine likes him… until Kurt finally realized a few episode later that Blaine was totally not interested in him…
      BICO was one of the only moments I felt the romantic chemistry between the two actors… Other than that… they just act like good friends…
      Comment by Lily – July 4, 2011 05:29 PM PDT Reply To This Post
      - I don’t see the chemistry between them at all. They don’t even sound very good together
        Comment by F – July 16, 2011 11:34 PM PDT
  - I disagree about baby being “bad glee” I think that it was just an opening to Kurt and Blaines relationship… and as you said it didn’t have really anything to do with the episode other than the fact that it was a christmasy thing. I believe that it was there simply to expand your knowledge on the relationship that was brewing.
    Comment by Nina – July 1, 2011 11:50 AM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Are we voting on best musical numbers or best musical numbers most integral to the plot. Poker Face was one of my favorite duets of last year, but I’d hardly call it relevant to the plot or even to the situation in which it was sung.(And, for the love of all things NOT incestual, I hope that I’m not wrong.) Baby and Lucky were both sweet and well-sung songs.
    Comment by Michael – July 1, 2011 02:26 PM PDT Reply To This Post
This ound was really easy for me, and lol all my picks are currently winning

DSB remains one of my all-time favorites, it’s the begining of it all and the song will always the representative of Glee for me xD
Toxic is crazy hot haha and I love Brittany so, easy pick.
Baby It’s Cold Outside is heart-melting. I love love love Darren Criss and will probably be voting for each of his songs here, I can’t help it
The last one was the hardest, cause both are amazing, but I went it RDMH, Naya and Amber and incredible, separate or together. I also prefer Naya’s voice over Lea’s so…
Comment by Sil – June 30, 2011 01:27 PM PDT Reply To This Post
i hope one of the Britney/Brittany songs wins. even if Heather Morris doesn’t have the best voice (neither does Miss Spears), she freaking ROCKED those performances.
Comment by flutiefan – June 30, 2011 01:29 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Can’t stand Britanny at all so I didn’t vote for Toxic. Tik Tok sucked. My Favs of all songs are Don’t Stop Believing and River Deep Mountain High. Heather Morris’ vocals are good but don’t send me. Love Naya and Amber on this song. Love Lea’s vocals but Naya and Amber were the best. Don’t Stop Believing is my most favorite of all Glee songs.
  Comment by s – June 30, 2011 04:07 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Tik Tok deserves to win just for Brittany’s “Drink Responsibly” at the end. I die laughing every time I see that, Heather Morris has great delivery of her lines.
  Comment by Teen Witch – June 30, 2011 07:33 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Am I the only one that thinks Heather Morris is terrible at delivering her lines? She half-whispers everything and has almost zero emotion. It’s okay if I am the only one, I’ll be annoyed by her all by myself, I’m just curious.
    Comment by Marissa – July 1, 2011 10:02 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I think its how shes supposed to deliver them cuz she is supposed to sound kind of confused and dazed.. personally i love her lines because their just so random.. but thats just me
      Comment by Marijke – July 1, 2011 12:51 PM PDT Reply To This Post
No “Sing”????? No “Raise your Glass?” Not even in the top 64 songs????? It makes it difficult to play when your favorite songs aren’t seeded.
Comment by Grignac – June 30, 2011 01:30 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Raise Your Glass should definately be there!
  Comment by Amy – June 30, 2011 01:37 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- I too am wonder why Raise Your Glass is missing from the list, especially when they put The Safety Dance on there. Also missing from the list is Landslide, WTF.
  Comment by Corinne – June 30, 2011 01:43 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - There are already more Warblers songs than deserve to be on here, so stop complaining about Raise Your Glass.
    Comment by F – July 16, 2011 11:35 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Unless I missed it, Bad Romance isn’t on there either. Who decided these?
  Comment by Ben – June 30, 2011 01:43 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Simmer down, just because a song is not in this round, it doesn’t mean it won’t be in future rounds.
    
    Look at the paragraph above that starts with “EVERY DAY around 4:00 p.m. ET over the next few weeks, we’ll launch a NEW set of bouts…”
    Comment by suzyq – June 30, 2011 04:50 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - There’s a link for all the songs that will be voted on, it is a shame Bad Romance isn’t on their, but Poker Face was.
      Comment by Corinne – June 30, 2011 05:13 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - Yes, but if you look at the link for the top 64 picks, none of the aforementioned songs are on Slezak’s list.
      Comment by Volcfom – June 30, 2011 05:21 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - agreed!! that sucks i loved Bad Romance!! and it wasnt on the full list i dont think either..
    Comment by Marijke – July 1, 2011 12:53 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Raise Your Glass was an awful cover of a great song.
  Comment by Marcus – July 1, 2011 05:03 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- I totally agree Raise your glass should be but not totally sold on Sing. Some of the pairings in the table are bizarre! Am i the only one thinking there are a few too many Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison songs on the 64 table?
  Comment by Biddy – July 1, 2011 06:02 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - YES! I was thinking the exact same thing. I personally don’t think there should have been any on there at all. I mean, I love Kristin, but I don’t even remember any of the songs she sang on the show.
    Comment by Emily – July 3, 2011 08:57 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - The only song Kristin sings with Will that doesn’t make me want to punch someone is ‘Alone’, which wasn’t featured
      Comment by F – July 16, 2011 11:36 PM PDT Reply To This Post
My all time fav Glee song will always be Don’t Stop Believing. I was lucky enough to see them on tour last Sunday at the O2 arena in London and the first song they sang when they came on was Don’t Stop Believing.

Since I can’t even remember “Take Me or Leave Me”, I guess you can tell how that went…
Comment by znachki – June 30, 2011 01:35 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- I loved take me or leave me simply because it was a great song. It showed the anger between lea and Ambers characters that with each word shifted and grew into something even better.

So excited to see Dream On in the running later. I know it has no prayer but that is my happy place w/ both of my crushes in an audition battle to the death
Comment by Anissa – June 30, 2011 01:36 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Where’s “I Feel Pretty/Unpretty”? Or “When I Get You Alone”? Or “I Wanna Sex You Up”? Those are my three favorites!
Comment by Tulip – June 30, 2011 01:36 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- I Feel Pretty/Unpretty is number 5. On the left, on the bottom half
  Comment by Amy – June 30, 2011 01:41 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - So’s ‘When I Get You Alone’ No. 11 on the right. I didn’t really like I Wanna Sex You Up so not too bitter that’s not there. But really agree that Bad Romance should be vs Born This Way instead of Poker Face. Can we vote for that?
    Comment by Lauren – June 30, 2011 06:59 PM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I wish they had twice the amount of entries. A lot of significant songs are missing IMO, and I’m sure none of us would mind a twice as long event. And in order to be a true representation of our favourite song, all of the significant songs should be on there. Also, it makes me sad that Tik Tok has gotten any votes at all. DSB should be thoroughly kicking it’s ass. How is Tik Tok in any way better than DSB? IMO it’s one of the worst songs performed on the show, along with ‘Friday’ and those Bieber songs.
      Comment by Lauren – June 30, 2011 07:02 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Voted for Take Me Or Leave Me, it was amazing. I also liked RDMH, but I preferred TMOLM.
Comment by L. – June 30, 2011 01:37 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Voted for Don’t Stop Believing, Toxic (hands down!), Baby It’s Cold Outside (amazing – I have listened to this on repeat many times), and River Deep Mountain High (which I think is one of the best covers of this song – ever – and a great song to work out to!)

I can tell right now this contest is going to be dominated by Kurt and Blaine so there’s no use in me even getting involved.
Comment by Roderic – June 30, 2011 01:38 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- You’re right, Klaine will probably dominate this tournament because Glee fans who are bitter or resentful toward the popularity of them as a couple will only post negative, self-defeating comments instead of voting earnestly for who they think should win.
  
  If you don’t think either Kurt or Blaine deserves to win a match-up, then speak with your vote, not just defeatist comments.
  Comment by Dani – June 30, 2011 03:10 PM PDT Reply To This Post
As EPIC the pilot version of Don’t Stop Believin was I prefer the Regional version ’cause it was a real ensemble song

Surprised that “Teenage Dream” and “Raise Your Glass” aren’t in here.
Comment by rg – June 30, 2011 01:40 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- “Teenage Dream” is there, top right – the #1 seed even! Love that.
  Comment by Esta – June 30, 2011 01:43 PM PDT Reply To This Post
there’s no way “Lucky” can beat or even get close to “Baby, it’s cold outside”. I think that is one of the best performance on the show!
Comment by Vivi – June 30, 2011 01:40 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Baby, It’s Cold Outside makes me so happy, Christmas season or not. <3
Comment by Kara – June 30, 2011 01:41 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Don’t Stop Believin’ will probably win the whole competition, it’s Glee signature song.
I loved the different arrangement they did with Toxic so I voted for it over Push it.
Both Lucky and Baby It’s Cold Outside were lovely but BICO was such a nice surprise and Kurt and Blaine’s voices compliment each other so well that I had to choose it over Lucky.
River Deep, Mountain High is one of my favorite duets of the season and even though Lea and Amber are powerhouses, Amber and Naya’s voice are perfect together.
Comment by S – June 30, 2011 01:48 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- My guess is that it will come down to “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Teenage Dream.”
  Comment by Teresa – June 30, 2011 02:10 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Now this is a bracket I can get into!!
DSB is iconic and will be tough to beat.
Toxic wins for its unique style and difference from the original.
Baby was just an awwwww moment for viewers.
The last one was tough, but I remember laughing the entire time Naya & Amber powered through River Deep, Mountain High. It was enjoyable

…Rose’s Turn is against Don’t Rain on My Parade in their first bracket.

Whoever made this is a cruel, cruel person.
Comment by Raya – June 30, 2011 01:49 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- My thoughts exactly! I’m not sure I’ll be able to choose. This round was pretty easy (Don’t stop believing is iconic, I love Brittany so Toxic was an obvious choice, I want to have Lucky at my wedding, it was so cute, and about the last ones I don’t even have an opinion), but I’m terrified about the next rounds…
  Comment by Pearl – June 30, 2011 03:09 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- Agreed. I wish both Kurt and Rachel had gotten the Adam Lambert treatment in the first round (competing against themselves). I love me some Santana and Mercedes (and Charice and K-Chen…), but It should rightfully come down to Rachel and Kurt in the final solo round!
  Comment by Grace – June 30, 2011 03:25 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Yes! I agree. Actually, I think the winning song should be on that they sang together. All of them were absolutly outstanding but I think any of the ones from Wicked should win.
    Comment by Jax – July 1, 2011 03:35 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Oh, come on, no Back to Black. I’m glad Songbird’s on there, but seriously. Back to Black was the best song of the frickin’ season.
Comment by DK – June 30, 2011 01:51 PM PDT Reply To This Post
“Lucky” was not different enough from the original for it to warrant even being in this bracket challenge. It’s a real shame to see so many great renditions of numbers missing from this tournament, only to be replaced by carbon copies of the original version. Glee is best at taking numbers and re-inventing them with their own personality, let’s showcase that aspect of the show in this challenge, please.

Hey Michael,

I realize this is off-topic, but I felt you should have written up a conclusion to the AI Tournament of Moments. We had the final 2-moment bracket, and we could learn the winner by clicking on the poll results… but it felt incomplete.

So please do a concluding blog on the winning performance for Glee.

Thanks!

I’m about to get all wah-wah whiny, but I’m pretty disappointed Schue and April’s “Alone,” “Raise Your Glass,” and “Landslide” didn’t make the bracket. Okay, done.

If we’re talking vocally, Toxic was way better but because it was about five thousand times more awkward because Mr Schue got involved, I’m voting Push It.
Comment by Jo – June 30, 2011 02:02 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- TOTALLY agree with you! I hated that Mr. Schue performed Toxic with them, so I voted for Push It. Plus, Push It still makes me laugh.

Who put “Unpretty/I Feel Pretty” against “Happy Days/Come on Get Happy”? Neither of those should be out first round!

-The pilot version of DSB is brilliant and defines Glee
-Toxic has amazing harmonies
-BICO was sweet and more original than lucky
-Take Me Or Leave Me is just brilliant. You can’t go wrong with Lea and Amber

Baby It’s Cold Outside is just a creepy song in-general no matter who is singing it. It’s one person forcing another person to stay when they are trying to leave. Hello rohypnol anyone?

Please remove Listen NOW and put Somewhere Only We Know instead… Now please. Where is Somewhere Only We Know? I’m waiting… I’m waiting…

Also, remove Poker Face NOW and put Bad Romance instead.

Thank you.

For Good should be on here, best thing about the finale.

Out of all the songs they have sung….you guys have not picked a good 64…In fact i think i could pick a better 64 songs than you guys did

Is it too late to change some of these?? Please remove Bust A Move, Dreams and Home and put in Somewhere Only We Know, Bad Romance and For Good!!!

I think For Good should have definitely been there, it’s one of the few performances to make me cry!

I voted for Don’t Stop Believing, Toxic, Baby It’s Cold Outside (I love Kurt and Blaine!), and River Deep, Mountain High.

Really easy except the last one! Struggled to choose, they were both really impressive vocally.

It’s a shame that some people used this forum to be hateful. And to a lot of the questioners, did you bother to read the article?

Seriously, Michael?!?! The last 64-player “Sing Off” (American Idol) that we all participated in… NEVER FINISHED! No conclusion. No announcement of a winner. And now you want us to invest in another Number Bracket Tournament? Will you follow through on this one?

- It did finish. Adam Lambert won with “Mad World”
  Comment by Sharon – June 30, 2011 04:33 PM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Adam Lambert’s “Mad World” got the most votes (you could see that when voting). But there was no CONCLUSION. And if you look at the 64-player bracket image, the final two spots are STILL empty. http://www-tvline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IdolBracket_May20110520094503.jpg

  Apparently you were not around in the 70s when that song was played frequently. Ugh.

Seriously Michael? No Bad Romance????
Comment by DC – June 30, 2011 03:24 PM PDT Reply To This Post
I love this.

BUT

Firework?? With a billion and fifty ridiculous Rachel Berry performances, with My Man and Papa Can You Hear Me and Taking Chances, you’re going with Firework???

people, get a grip. it says there are going to be 64 songs. this is just round one.

- We are talking about the 64 there is a link at the bottom of the article to all 64

Well I voted for Don’t Stop Believing, although I prefer the Regionals version. Tik Tok is also good ;D
Toxic of course (I’m looking at HeMo)
Lucky… I jus’t don’t like Darren Criss’s voice that much, and Sam and Quinn were perfect.
The last one was very hard, because I love both songs… but I voted for Take Me or Leave Me because Lea and Amber were very power!

- I was beginning to feel I was alone in my feeling about Darren Criss. I’m relieved to see I’m not alone. He is good but his vocals IMHO aren’t as heart warming as many people talk about. I love Chris Colfer and Lea singing Happy. That was the best as well as Don’t Stop Believing. I know I might be in te minority but Criss sounds so autotuned just not my favorite.

  - Yes maybe a bit auto tuned on CD format, but once you hear him live thats when you hear how good his natural voice can be.
