Cover your ears! The worst Glee covers of all time that will turn you into Sue Sylvester

Glee truly is our generation’s musical moment, and embracing the cringe is important. There’s nothing like a band of misfits joined together by music to make great TV. However, some of these Glee covers are more painful to watch than most, and some of them have really tested my allegiance to the fanbase. Here are the worst Glee covers of all time that will literally turn you into Sue Sylvester.

5. A Little Less Conversation

Matthew Morrison will always be an icon, a legend and the moment, but I just can’t get behind this cover. It feels very random (although so does most of Glee), and his fast Spanish singing just doesn’t suit him at all. Where did the band come from? Why does everyone look so awkward in the audience? Who is he telling to satisfy him in a school where he is the teacher?

The outfit though? No complaints.

4. The Fox

This cover felt like a fever dream. The animal masks are enough to make me skip the entire episode, combined with the autotune, the puppets and the synchronised dancing, I could have easily stopped watching here altogether. I know it was incredibly popular at the time, but the world would have been better off if the Glee producers just decided to leave out this song altogether.

3. Thong Song

Does this performance even need an explanation? Without any context of the show, you’d be seriously lost. The dress is awful and outdated even for the 2000s, and Matt Morrison strikes again with very obvious lip-syncing. I know it’s the whole point of the show, but couldn’t you have even tried to look like you were actually singing the words there and then?

Also, let’s just talk about how uncomfortable Emma looks here. Glee loves to take a wild and ridiculous song and make it weirdly sexual, and it just doesn’t work here like it did with Push It. Please don’t be singing about girls’ “dump trucks” in the school assembly!

2. Blurred Lines

Blurred Lines is already a controversial song, but the Glee cover should honestly be facing prison time. As usual, Matthew Morrison is at the scene of the crime. Blurred Lines is just a cringe-fest filled with autotune and weird sing-rapping. Low points from me today!

1. Baby Got Back

You already knew this song was getting put at the top of the worst Glee covers ranking. There’s not a world where this wouldn’t be my most hated Glee song. The beanie and scarf combo, the CHOREOGRAPHY, the fact that a teacher is singing this song with high school kids, it just all feels so wrong. It’s definitely one to look away from. If Sue heard this the Glee club would be shut down in an instant.
