Glee recently did a version of “Somebody I Used to Know” by Gotye. It was performed by Darren Criss (Blaine) and guest star Matt Bomer. Well, Gotye has heard it and he hated it.
He says, “They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals but the vocals were that pop Glee style ultra-dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense like it’s playing to you from a cardboard box.”
And in another interview, he said the cover “made it sound dinky and wrong.”
