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

On last night’s Glee, Mr. Schue got over the monkey flu just in time to save himself from being fired and take his job back from Holly Holiday, Gwyneth Paltrow’s unsettlingly cool substitute teacher. Oh, and also to create a mash-up of his favorite musical, Singin’ in the Rain, and Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” for which he, Gwynnie, and the kids flooded the auditorium stage and splashed around in galoshes — fun! But was it as fun as the Baseballs’ version? What about the Duke’s Men of Yale? They seem to be having a pretty good time.

Compare these versions of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and tell us: Who did it best?

Julien Doré and Coeur de Pirate

We checked: "Pirate" means the same thing in French as it does in English.

The Duke's Men of Yale

They may be singing Rihanna, but their hips don't lie.

Is this video actually confusing, or do we just not get it?

This would have worked just as well as "Only Hope" in A Walk to Remember.
