Glee vs. YouTube: Who Did ‘Somewhere’ Best?

Tony and Maria got nothing on Rachel and Shelby.

Last night’s Glee was light on the music and heavy on the drama. And by drama, we mean auditions for the school musical, West Side Story. Poor Kurt was deemed not quite macho enough to play Tony, but Rachel turned in a stellar audition with the show’s signature number, “Somewhere,” which she performed half-solo, half-duet with her estranged birth mommy, Shelby. This week’s showdown includes renditions of “Somewhere” by prodigy soprano Jackie Evancho and an electric string dulcimer, which the New Directions should definitely get for their band. View them below and vote for your fave!

That is an electric string dulcimer, and something about the fourth fret makes it impossible to play the song faithfully. Rats.

Nothing like a soulful French horn.

Rachel and Shelby

Romantic ballad becomes bitter mother/daughter number.
