a crescendo, annie

I've said it before and I'm sure it'll remain on repeat - the collective genius of Adam Anders, Alex Anders and Peer Astrom never ceases to astound me.

Their latest masterpiece consists of taking Croatian cellists Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser's stripped-down interpretation of "Smooth Criminal" and adding the stunning voices of Naya Rivera and Grant Gustin. It will be featured in "Michael," Glee's Michael Jackson tribute episode, which airs Tuesday.

Grant's a newcomer to the cast and has only sung once previously - in the Warblers' cover of "Uptown Girl" earlier this season - and he and Naya have unbelievable vocal chemistry. And regular chemistry. (Which is ironic, since their characters are gay.)

I have no idea why Santana's suddenly so much more prominent this season (I choose to ignore the malicious rumors that it's because Naya is dating one of the new writers) but whatever the reason, yay.

I could listen to her sing all day long.

  1. Really good!

    I think Santana has caught on this season because she's capable of singing (and communicating with her songs) -- with so much passion. Others have better voices, but she really makes you feel like she's feeling it.

    I hate the other kid.
