Glee Musical Retrospective: 4 Minutes (The Power of Madonna)
youtube
Sung by: Kurt Hummel and Mercedes Jones
Original Artist(s): Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
Baby penguin my ass.
I sometimes go back and read 'of the day' reviews, and one of them stated that this episode featured too much music. And I got to thinking, while I clearly don't agree, this is the one that would probably end up on the chopping block. I'm very glad it didn't though, because I think it has more to say than you may think.
And it's only one of two duets we get between Kurt and Mercedes.
Story Anaylsis
It's really nice to be talking about Kurt again... when is the last time???
So, here's the fascinating thing about this one. Kurt and Mercedes both often feel like they're playing second fiddle - especially to Rachel Berry. And here they get to showcase their amazing talents together. But the thing is - they got this huge performance as a thank you from Sue for making her over in Vogue. (Also - Sue is doing this as an FU to Will, but Sue is savvy enough to know talent when she sees it - and Kurt will remain one of her favorites for the rest of the series.)
The song itself is a little random story wise -- and most likely chosen because it was a highly energetic, more modern hit. It's a song about going out and saving the world in 4 minutes? Honestly - the lyrics are supposed to be about saving the planet, and having the urgency to do so. But I can finagle a few things...
I think one of the things both Kurt and Mercedes are doing here are latching onto the urgency in their own lives. Sue's giving them a chance to shine and they're both going to take it. Neither of them is willing to wait around for Will to give them a chance. So, they'll make their own chances. Which speaks to both their characters, really.
But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did what I wanted to do
Tell me, how bout you?
I think the lyrics are mostly not the point in this one. But I like this little stanza. It speaks to the two of them briming with their own confidence and jumping at the chance to show, at least the school, what they can do.
I'm going to quote myself from my Kurt meta:
One of the things I really love is how confident both Kurt and Mercedes are in this dance number–with the whole school watching. Before, both of them were looked down upon, and thrown in dumpsters, and slushied, but now that they’re with the Cheerios and singing Madonna, they really latch on to a growing self-confidence. Sure, they aren’t there yet, and they have many more obstacles to go over, but just the fact that they’re up there performing, uncaring really what anyone else thinks, is a step in the right direction.
I will say - one of the things that I've often had a hard time buying on this show is that people continually think that these kids are losers. I'd have been so amazed if I saw a performance like this in high school. There's no reason any of these kids get the hate they get except for the fact that the plot needs them to be.
Technical Thoughts
First of all - I love that they arranged this as a marching band song. Not only is it a great interpretation to the heavy sound of the original song, but it's nice to see a marching band used well on screen.
Secondly, they sound pretty good! I love Kurt in his lower register. And Mercedes just owns this song. It's not surprising that they had them switch parts because Amber is much more comfortable with kind of song than Chris and it does show a little bit in the vocal track.
The on screen charisma, though, they both have it. The fact that both Mercedes and Kurt feel so comfortable in their bodies is fantastic. Neither of them are what mainstream society would label as sexy or hot but I love, love, love that this speaks to that -- that these two are both sexy and hot in this number as they play off each other. The choreography on this is the best, and I love that they allow these characters to be in control and confident in their bodies.
Also - sometimes I don't think Chris gets enough credit. Yes, he can be clumsy and fall of a piano (oh we will get there) but sometimes he just owns his physicality in a way that is never commented on is just remarkable.
This performance also has some great reaction shots. I love that Will looks annoyed and almost disappointed. Rachel's 'no comment' was perfect. And I love that Quinn genuinely seems to be enjoying herself. (I love when Quinn gets to be a human.)
Also - super technical thing - but notice all the quick cuts and camera whips? I'm sure that was done purposely to enhance the urgency the song is trying to create.
Fun fact: Apparently, this is the last time Kurt does a duet with anyone else besides Blaine and Rachel until Adam Lambert shows up. Crazy right? Shame that the show doesn't try out varying combinations more often.
vs. The Studio Version: It's the full song! Or more so it feels like they just repeat the chorus a few more times. I do like the second half, though, because they both get into the song just a bit more and it feels even more powerful than the show version.
vs. The Original Song: I love that this song is actually 4 minutes long. It is slightly slower than Glee's version - which makes sense, because that's Glee's trend - to make everything just a little bit faster (I assume to fit into time limit of being on a tv show). As I said earlier, I think Glee's marching band interpretation is really cool - because it's a great in world adaptation of the instrumentation the original song uses. That all said, what is going on in this video? I don't get how this reflects saving the world. *shrugs*

I had a weird morning. I was listening to the radio and had a "I know that song from Glee moment". It took me a while to picture Artie singing Let Me Love You. I think it's the first time I heard the original.
A few songs later: "I know this song from Glee season 6. I don't remember the character's name, but I can picture her doing the choreography. But what is the song's title? Rather Be."
A few songs later: Move Like Jagger and a while later: Uptown Funk.
I don't miss Glee, but I miss getting Glee versions of new songs and having "I know this song from Glee" moments when I hear the original.
I wish they would release some of the 100 unreleased songs. They spent money producing them. Why not make some money releasing them?

Can you select your favorite Glee songs per season, and also your least favorite?
Hmmmm, so this isn't that easy since I love a majority of the music on the show. I'll give you a selection for each season, but please note that a) these are my opinions and b) there are many answers, this just happens to be how I'm feeling in the moment.
Season 1:
A personal favorite performance: Rose's Turn
An objectively 'best of' performance: Bohemian Rhapsody
A bad song done well: Run Joey Run
A song that's performed well that I don't like: Physical
A questionable song choice by the writers: A Man's Man's Man's World
Season 2
A personal favorite performance: Get Happy/Happy Days
A subjective 'best of' performance: As If We Never Said Goodbye
An objectively 'best of' performance: Songbird
A good performance of a song that I always want to fast forward through: Papa, Can You Hear Me?
A song everyone loves that I don't have any feelings for besides noting it is a good performance: River Deep, Mountain High
Best Warbler Song (because if I didn't mention them, there'd be rioting in the street): Somewhere Only We Know
Best Original Song that is racist when you listen to the lyrics: Hell to the No
Best Original Song that isn't racist when you listen to the lyrics: My Headband
One of the best goddamn things the show ever did but it's related to Christmas so people forget about it: Baby, It's Cold Outside
Song that I probably like least this season, despite the fact that this season really doesn't have any 'bad' performances: I Follow Rivers
Oh, excuse me, a bad performance of a good song: Candles
Season 3
A personal favorite performance: I Have Nothing
An objectively 'best of' performance: I Will Always Love You
Song I think is good but the internet discourse and obsession is beginning to ruin it for me: Rumour Has It/Someone Like You
Song that is good by I don't like watching it in context: Cough Syrup
Favorite performance by a Glee Project Winner: Pinball Wizard
Best use of a capella not sung by the Warblers: How Will I Know
Song that reminds me why I don't listen to hard rock: Hot for Teacher
Song that is really missing the point: I Kissed a Girl
Another questionable song choice by the writers: Ben
Cringiest performance: La Cucaracha & A Little Less Conversation
Contender for least favorite performance of the show: Dinosaur
Song I enjoy but hate how it's used on the show: Tongue Tied
Best song not used in an episode: Glory Days
Season 4
A personal favorite performance: Just Can't Get Enough
An objectively 'best of' performance: O Holy Night
A goddam master class in acting through song: Teenage Dream
