While I agree PersonB that emotion is equally as important as skill used to sing a song (I never said it wasn't), my feeling is that equally as much emotion (if not more, I personally never bought Rachel's much-rammed-down-our-throats insecurities in regards to Quinn in season 2, Rachel has always been a very confident girl and having her say every five minutes of season 2 "so and so is prettier than me/do you think she's pretty than me?" felt hollow and forced) was a huge part of DROMP (when you think of what led up to that performance, which was the majority of the first season which featured a lot more emotion and plot/character development than season 2) and so in addition to that the skill required IMHO makes it a superior performance.
I too think people should vote for the song they think best encompasses the two, sadly I think many people as Andi is saying are voting because of their favourite pairing/character.
Thank goodness these polls mean very little.
Musical taste is subjective but talent can be identified by all if bias is removed.
I'm sorry PersonB, but I don't agree with you at all. I think what sets Glee apart from the mediocre music shows is the quality of the music combined with endearing stories. If the music wasn't mostly flawless, I think the show would lose a major fanbase.
The poll is for "Glee's All-Time Best Musical Number", not "Your Favorite Glee Moment". If it was asking for a favorite moment, I could understand some of the choices on this graph but it's not, it's asking for the best song and to me, the word best means that there has to be some kind of standards that each song is held to, not just "I can relate to this song". Emotional connection doesn't necessarily translate into a strong performance. I mean...my favorite song in junior high was 'Mmmbop' by Hanson and I was convinced it was the greatest song in the world. Listening to it now, it still makes me smile but you know what, it's not a very good song from a technical point of view.
I just think that if we're voting on a poll for the best Glee song, the top song to come out of the show, it needs to be one of, if not, the best song and unfortunately, considering the voting trends and the rabid fangirls for whatever pairing, I don't think the winner of this poll is going to be the best representation of what the show has to offer talent wise.
...and wow I just dated myself with that Hanson comment. I feel old.
Hmm...I think that the difficulty of a song is certainly a factor in assessing how good of a singer the person singing it is, and possibly even how good the song itself is.
However there is more to Glee than mere vocal difficulty, it's about heart and the meaning of the songs more than anything else, certainly not something that can be quantified as easily as "how hard it is to hit all of the notes correctly."
People should just vote for their favorite performance, whether or not it was technically flawless.
Just sayin'.
Thank you Andi, that was exactly my point. ;)
"Are you kidding me? Yes, you're right DROMP is harder to sing but that does not mean it's hard to sing it deserves more respect. That is the lamest reasoning I've ever read"
It makes perfect sense actually. It would be like comparing someone's version of 'Happy Birthday' vs. 'The Star Spangled Banner'. You can do a perfect version of both songs but it just so happens that doing the national anthem is on a whole different difficulty scale than Happy Birthday. Therefore you can say that both songs sounded good but with the higher difficulty level of one over the other, the singer tends to generate more respect for doing the more difficult song well.
How is that a lame reason? It seems perfectly logical to me.
My vote was for DROMP. Unpretty/I Feel Pretty isn't memorable and is subpar quality in comparison.
Try singing along to either and see which you find the hardest, 99.9% of people will find DROMP the hardest so it deserves more respect.

IFP/U was nice in the context of the episode but is quite dull a song. Dianna Agron seems like she is a sweet girl but her vocals are nothing special, especially teamed with Lea Michele's powerhouse voice (I don't think it's a coincidence no-one has paired her with Amber Riley for a duet as she would be blown off the set!), and her her acting is limited (she always looks so bored unless she's being bitchy and her dialogue delivery always seems so forced and unnatural, just the way she pronounces words seems fake, cos she doesn't do it in interviews) so this song didn't mean much to me other than Rachel singing her heart out AGAIN, and she does this so much better with DROMP (I get goosebumps), not to mention other songs like 'Papa Can You Hear Me?'. Sadly all the shallow Quinn fans will vote for IFP/U cos they like the character instead of the best performance. Try singing along to either and see which you find the hardest, 99.9% of people will find DROMP the hardest so it deserves more respect. Lea kicked butt with it. IFP/U was pretty but DROMP was beautiful and epic! Good thing I don't hold these results in high regards.
I'm so conflicted because I love BOTH songs so much. Both numbers represent all that is Glee so well. DROMP is an epic Broadway number interpreted so well by Lea Michele, and IFP/U is a lovely mash-up of two very dissimilar songs that talks about feeling beautiful. In the end I chose IFP/U because I think it is a largely (forgive me) "unsung" hero outside of certain fandoms in Glee. Lea's perfomance DROMP is heartfelt, much like but just under the quality Barbra's original. IFP/U is unlike either of the original songs that were compiled to create it, a unique song with all the feeling of the originals. The combination makes for an astounding performance with the harmonizing voices of Lea Michele and Dianna Agron. IFP/U FTW!
I love unpretty they are really good together & the song is amazing
