Gwyneth Paltrow will appear on tonight’s hour-long episode of Glee. It’s the 100th episode of the show, so apparently there will be some big show-stopping numbers, big-name guest stars and such. To preview the episode, Glee producers released the audio of Gwyneth covering Pharrell Williams’ Oscar-nominated song “Happy”. Previously, Gwyneth has covered Adele’s “Turning Tables,” which was sacrilegious to me just because that song is really beautiful and Gwyneth’s voice is nowhere near as strong as Adele’s. Anyway, here’s Gwyneth’s Glee version of “Happy”:
I think… this is not good. Gwyneth’s voice isn’t strong enough for this song either and it sounds very filtered and like they used a lot of studio magic to make her sound less screechy and nasal. And here’s what I never understand about Glee: why do they cover so many songs with the same basic musical arrangement as the original songs?
Gwyneth also submitted her “Spring Playlist” to Jay-Z’s Life + Times site. You can see her Spring Mix here. She lists: The National, Beyonce, Haim, Haerts and more.
Oh, and Gwyneth and Chris have reportedly bought a $14 million beach house in Malibu too. You can see photos here – it’s really beautiful. The tennis court seems a bit unnecessary (Malibu space is at a premium).
