ETA: iTunes versions are up!
Born This Way
I kind of like Lady Gaga's version and while this one sounds like there could be someone else to it, their rendition is not bad. I'm not over-the-top in love with it, but I guess this will do. I mean, even though it's an old trick by now, I enjoy Mercedes belting all over the last chorus. I'm not sure if it's Tina I'm hearing doing the verses with Mercedes, but I also like that pretty distinct inflection in her voice. Kurt talking (rapping?) is decent. I hope the performance on the show will do the trick. 7/10

Somewhere Only We Know
One of Warblers' best, I have to say. I think it's beautiful, and this song has a lot of emotional pull with me - they did really well with this one. I love the arrangement and I like how Blaine doesn't sound lifeless in this track. Plus, I heard that this is a Warblers + New Directions effort. If that's true, then that would be really interesting, I think. 10/10

I've Gotta Be Me
To be honest, this is the only song for next week I'm don't want to hear YET, but Finn sounds really good with this.. and in this genre? Who knew? I like that it sounds really natural and this has to be the best his voice has ever sounded! I'm impressed. 9/10DOWNLOAD
As If We Never Said Goodbye
This is actually pretty awesome. I was hoping for Rachel, but Kurt sounds incredibly wonderful in this song. The ups and downs on his vocals are really good and I actually think Kurt has outdone himself here. Not sure if this is his best solo - I think I still prefer Rose's Turn - but this is gorgeous. 9/10DOWNLOAD
I Feel Pretty / Unpretty
Wow. I was somewhat expecting this duet to be a disaster just because Rachel has a big powerful Broadway voice and Quinn has a much more low key soft jazz type of voice. On paper, this will never work, but NO! This song sounds really beautiful. Yes, Rachel is clearly the superior voice on this track, but I'm genuinely surprised that Quinn is able to hold her own here. I'm impressed. Looking forward to seeing this in context. 9/10DOWNLOAD

I'll hang on for all of them in one go probably but have you heard Cory's? I can't stop playing it.

Inigo: Interesting. Have not heard this. Thanks! So we're just waiting for two more songs then..
Sorry! I hope I didn't tempt you into spoiling yourself. It is good though :)
Inigo: No, it's all good. I actually like that people share me stuff to share on my blog. :)
At first, I imagined Santana would do Born This Way cause her voice was totally suitable for it..
but it's fine to see them sing together too.
Somewhere Only We Know is fanstatic
Yey, another West Side Story cover. :D
Heard of I Feel Pretty/Unpretty where Diana Agron and Lea Michelle does a duet. I don't know you're take on this but for me it's a tear jerker, I love how clear their words are and so soft the song starts...Love!

Vincent: Thanks! I already go it. :)
Nice2x....will you update it now? I wanna see you're take on the song before I go home. Hehehe
Vincent: In a while maybe, I'm live blogging American Idol. Hehe.
Is it Cory or Mark singing "I've Gotta Be Me"? Sounds more like Mark, but I trust your posting.
Personally, I like this version of "Born This Way" to the original because I can actual understand the lyrics unlike in the Gaga version.
Anonymous: Yes. I'm 100% it's Finn's song. :)
thanks so much for these uploads, DAM :)
so far, i only downloaded Born This Way, Somewhere Only We Know, and I Feel Pretty/Unpretty :)
all lovely songs :) ♥
are these the iTunes versions already/all the songs for the episode? ;) i'll download everything else if it's all good already.
thanks and more power to you! :)

Paco: These are not yet iTunes versions. I'll post it once they're all available. :)
Thank you, Dam. Do we reckon these are all the songs? Seems shy for a 90 minute episode.
Inigo: Apparently, this is really it. Hopefully, they're concentrating more on the story? I can only hope. Haha. :)
