The members of New Directions are getting ready for the ill-important sectionals, offering the perfect opportunity to look back at the many songs they have performed throughout the semester. It remains to be seen what the William McKinley High Glee Club will showcase at sectionals, but one thing is certain: They know how to deliver. Here's a highly subjective grading of some of their vocal efforts so far. This is how I see it, Sue.

Grading the best and worst songs from 'Glee'
"Don't Stop Believin'"
Pilot: The kids, wearing matching red shirts, belt out Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin,’ ” making everyone forget all about the schlocky original. Their effort helps Mr. Schue find his mojo again. Grade: A

Definitely the Best is either "Bust Some Windows" or "Imagine," the worst, despite my excessive love of Wicked, was "Defying Gravity." They use an auto-tune in a lot of their songs, but its way too noticeable in "Defying Gravity."

Auto tuning has become so rampant and annoying. Just sing, people! I went back and listened to "Gravity" again, and you're right, the fixing is pretty heavy there.

Oh, and my apologies for the "ill-important" typo in the lede. Oops.

I think the mashups grading was harsh. The girls' mashup was weak but the guys brought it. I'd say B- when you combine the 2.
You're forgetting the recent "Endless Love" rendition with the uncomfortable facial expressions from Mr. Schu. Priceless.
