2.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE REAL GLEE ARRANGMENTS, January 20, 2010

This review is from: Glee: Music from the FOX Television Show (Paperback)

I am going to start out saying that I love Glee and it is probably my favorite show ever on television (next to Friends, of course). Enthusiastically, I bought this product along with the soundtracks, DVD, shirt, etc. I was convinced this compilation of sheet music from Glee were in the arrangements used in the television show and soundtrack. My highschool child was planning to put together a performance group to learn, choregraph, and perform Somebody to Love in the style of Glee, but when we got the book it only included the original Queen arrangment. All of the songs are in their original form, not in the style of Glee. So if you are just looking to expand your music variety with random songs, this book is for you. But if you are looking to buy this book because you would like to have the music in the Glee arrangments (Girl/Guy Mash-up, glee's performance of Somebody to Love,the group arrangment of Dont Stop Believin with the "Da's", etc.) this book is NOT for you. It is simply a collection of songs used on the tv show, put together in a book. Long story short, I returned my package, unhappy with its content and the lack of this information included on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glee Songbook...does not contain SATB vocal arrangements, December 8, 2009

For anyone who might not know, this is a Piano/Vocal/Guitar book. I'm not musical so I don't know if songbooks include all 3 or not. I did a lot of searching before I ordered it to find out if it was only vocals & thought this information might help someone else.

This is a gift for my daughter. After Christmas, I'll update my review with her comments.

UPDATE: I noticed that Amazon's title/description of this songbook has been updated to include the information in my review. Previously it read 'Glee: Music from the FOX Television Show'.

For those wondering if this book has SATB vocal arrangements, my answer would have to be 'no' because that term is not printed anywhere in this songbook & the arrangements do not look like the sample given by Media Man in the comment section of this review.

UPDATE #2: My daughter didn't find this songbook to be very useful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous advertising!, August 17, 2010

By 

Kassandra Rozek - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glee: Music from the FOX Television Show (Paperback)

This book with the title "Glee" on it is absolutely ridiculous! The only thing "Glee" about it is the title and the fact that the tv show did different versions of the songs with completely different arrangements in different keys! They may as well call it "Songs that you may or may not need if you have some time to rearrange them and transpose them into what you wanted in the first place!"
