Glee Encore

Not nearly as good as the series! Just ok.

I am a self-professed Gleek. I have all the cd's and dvd's that they have released, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it. I wish I had saved my money! Watching just the dance numbers is no fun at all and then they aren't even the complete performances! You're better off just buying the different seasons as they come out and watch them that way. They don't include some of the better dance sequences like "Jump" and the Halo/Walking on Sunshine mash up. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't spend the money on this disc.

Alright, I'm seeing a lot of people talking about the fact that there are songs missing from this set. Yep, there are. And I was one of the folks who felt like they should have made an ENTIRE Season 1 set. I figure this was a test run, and if it sold well (As if there were any chance that wasn't happening. LOL), then they can release the rest of the songs, or ALL of Season 1, or, and this is most likely, both... When they released a limited edition Complete Season 1 music collection, it was snapped up at lightning speed, and now sells for almost $100. ( Glee: the Music-Complete Season ) So yeah, I wish this had the entire Season 1 worth of songs. But I'd rather focus on what IS here, rather than what is NOT. These aren't just the songs. These are the performances from the show. I figure that's why so many are missing. They included the ones that were longer, it seems. Among the best on the disk, IMHO, are: Don't Stop Believin' (Pilot Version), Somebody To Love, It's My Life/Confessions Part II, No Air, Defying Gravity (Which I am listening to right now.), Lean On Me, Imagine, Don't Rain On My Parade, Vogue, Like A Prayer, Beautiful, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Rose's Turn, Bad Romance, Faithfully, and Any Way You Want It/Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. And many more. And best of all, there's a shuffle function, which is GREAT. So, do I wish it was the entire Season's worth of songs? Sure. But for the price, it is WELL worth it. I still give it a solid A+, 5 star rating, and I can't imagine anyone enjoying this less just because there are fewer songs. Most of us Gleeks own every single DVD and CD or song anyway. LOL So give this a try folks. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, R.A. McDowell

Love the DVD! Coming from a total Gleek, it was nice seeing the performances just by themselves. (and keep in mind... it's not ALL the performances. There were a few that were cut out like Take a Bow, Taking Chances, Halo/Walking on Sunshine, Keep Holding On, My Life Would Suck Without You, Borderline/Open Your Heart etc. I paid around $9 for this DVD, but I probably wouldn't pay over $15 for it. It's just the performances from Season 1... nothing else. Overall.. it's a great DVD with great performances from Season 1. Hopefully they'll be coming out with a Vol. 2 for all the Season 2 performaces because I will DEFINITELY be buying it. :)

This is a fantastic song list from the first season, but since not all songs are included, the end credits need to be truncated, as they include ALL of the season's end credits, accounting for the final 10+ minutes. If all songs had been included, this would make sense, but since they aren't, it's a waste of time. Plus, the songs included aren't always the most popular of the season either. Either way though, it's a great addition for any Gleek to have.I wish something like this had been released for the remaining seasons.

A great glee DVD! You can play individual songs organized by episode. You can "play all" in order by episode. Or you can play a mix play all where it changes up the order of all of the songs...The only thing I wish is that when set on mix it would just keep playing without stopping...Once it has played all songs it runs through the credits of every single episode...It takes forever to get through...But you just hit the menu button and play them again and you are fine.On the song note: I am a huge glee fan, a gleek if you will and I have a bone to pick with this DVD. I believe they missed out on three major songs in this collection. They do not have "Proud Mary - Rolling on River" which the kids preformed in wheelchairs...They do not have the cheer-leading song sung by Kurt and Mercedes "4 minutes"...And they do not have the girls mash up of "Halo" and "Walking on Sunshine"...I can understand missing "4 minutes" because it is not really about the Cheerios its about Kurt and Mercedes, but missing out on Artie's tribute with the wheelchairs was ridiculous. They have "Run Joey Run", Rachel's audition song "On my own" (Which is good on recording but not in the episode), and they have "One Less Bell to Answer/A House is Not a Home" mash up between April and Mr. Shue...Any of which I could have done without. Then, they include the boys mash up but not the girls, that is just wrong. I guess I just wanted a DVD with all of the music videos and none of the drama.Still great for the money but not exactly what I was looking for.

I'm thrilled with Glee Encore. Loved it, the entire DVD. Lea Michele especially because I love her voice and character, and of course every other Glee member is great also. I probably should buy a back-up because this going to be played so often it may wear out!

It's an absolute must if you are glee fan well worth the money music is excellent arrived earlier than scheduled but happy with it

I do really enjoy Glee and the music / songs are my fave part of the show so this DVD was perfect. If you are not really a fan of Glee do not buy this DVD, just stick to the season DVD's. But for really hardcore fans do buy it as you will enjoy it!

Fantastic present

this was great. my daughter loves the songs from glee but is too young to watch the series. this gives the opportunity to see the dance routines that came with the songs in the series without being exposed to the story lines as it just shows the clips during which the songs are being sung.

Great
