Glee vs. YouTube: Who Did ‘Try a Little Tenderness’ Best?
We did manage to find one bright spot in the weep-fest that was last night's Glee, which was Mercedes's blow-the-roof-off-the-joint rendition of "Try a Little Tenderness." Now, while we would have loved to include Jon Cryer's immortal version from Pretty in Pink among our competitors, alas, it is a lip-synch, and therefore disqualified. We did, however, pull together a lineup with Chris Brown, Paul Giamatti, and an anonymous man on an alto whistle. Whistle man, if you're reading this, please, identify yourself.
ISU Encore!
Vocally jazzy.
The Fave Raves
Whatever kind of intestinal discomfort the lead singer of this Japanese cover band is experiencing, he is soldiering through admirably.
Duets
Paul Giamatti: surprisingly soulful!
Chris Brown
Wow, Chris Brown, can you hear yourself?!
Man on the Alto Whistle
To play along at home, you'll need a Chieftain low/alto tin whistle.
Mercedes
We're speechless. Yup.
