[0:00] Andrew McGuire: We've got a mission to find the best song that's ever been on Glee. There's no rhyme or reason to it, so don't get mad at me. Gleek it by Gleek it, we'll rank everyone to see which song will move closer to spot number one. Gleek of the Week, Gleek, Gleek, Gleek of the Week. It's Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:35] Andrew McGuire: Hi guys! Alright, so here we are with round two of the Ultimate Song Vote Back. Thank you all for everyone who voted in these polls. This is really fun and a little like fun buffer thing to do between rounds of the Glacket. So here I am to announce what songs are advancing and what songs are unfortunately staying behind yet again. Okay, so in the first competition, Come What May versus More Than a Feeling. More Than a Feeling wins. Poker Face versus Don't Stop Believing, regionals version. Don't Stop Believing, regionals version won. Beauty School Dropout versus Loser Like Me, season two. Well, that would of course be Loser Like Me, season two. Unfortunately, Beauty School Dropout, I love you so much and you were paid dust on the Glacket.

I'm going to stream you today. I love you. Losing My Religion versus Love Song. Love Song, we can't give up this song. This song is advancing forward one more round. Uninvited versus I Can't Go For That, You Make My Dreams. Well, the Hall and Oates mashup is the one going forward and the Alanis Gutterolo is staying behind. Chasing Pavements versus Getting Married Today. Chasing Pavements is chasing those pavements another round in this Ultimate Vote Back. Getting Married Today is getting left behind. Breakaway versus Born This Way. Well, right this way, Born This Way. Breakaway, it's just, this isn't the Glacket for you. Vogue versus Let Me Love You Until You Learn To Love Yourself. Come on, Vogue, you're going another round.

The Bitch Is Back, Dress You Up versus Home, season six. The Bitch Is Back for another round. Sorry, Home, season six. I'm specifically thinking about Ian. I know how much you love this song. I'm sorry, baby boy. Start Me Up, Living On A Prayer versus Baby It's Cold Outside. Well, baby, it's hot in hell because you are staying behind. And Start Me Up, Living On A Prayer. Start Me Up, You're Living To See Another Day. We Are Young versus For Once In My Life. For Once In My Life, another one. Oh my God, such a perfect song. Perfect Artolo and Paid Dust on this Glacket. In another Glacket, I think that you would have stood a much better chance. It's All Coming Back To Me Now versus I Want To Hold Your Hand.

This one's going to hurt a lot of people. Of course, it's the Rolo that's going through. I'm so sorry, I Want To Hold Your Hand, but sorry, I can't hold it anymore. To Love You More versus Roots Before Branches. Well, you gotta have roots before branches. I wish I loved you more to love you more. My Life Would Suck Without You versus On My Own. Yeah, you're on your own, on my own. My Life Would Suck Without You. You being my life would suck without you, if that makes sense. My Life Would Suck Without You is the one that won. Not The Boy Next Door versus I Lived. Another Colo. Gone. I Lived wins very slightly, 52%. Creep versus Alfie. I was surprised here. A Clean 75 versus 25, Creep wins. Every Breath You Take versus It's All Over.

Another surprise to me. Every Breath You Take, a perfect Pesbary duet, lost to It's All Over. Both of these songs I love so much, you really can't go wrong. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For versus Don't Speak. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For is going through. Don't Speak To Me At This Time. And The Trolley Song versus Don't Dream It's Over. Damn, this was a setup. The Trolley Song obviously wins. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Everyone, it's a joke. Don't Dream It's Over wins. 7.9% of Gleeks did vote for The Trolley Song, and I'll be so real. I was one of them.

[4:53] Andrew McGuire: Okay, let's see what our competitions will be for round two. Also, do you want a little story time before I do that? I worked, hi, I just started a new job freelancing for TodayTix, heard of it? And I am, amongst other things, going to different events and talking to Broadway's most elite about the projects that they're doing. And I was able to talk to three Glee cast members, including first and foremost, I posted a clip about it, Loretta Devine. Oh my god, beautiful woman alert. Iconic woman alert. Definitely didn't remember that she was on the hit Fox show, Glee, but with a resume like that, how could you? Just really, really stunning. Really, really sweet. And no one wanted to talk to her on the beach's red carpet.

And I was like, Loretta Devine, get your divine ass over here. I'm being so silly today. I'm so sorry. Next up, Max Adler. I didn't post about this. I didn't really share this with anybody. Max Adler, I was working an event for the Atlantic Theatre Company at the Plaza, and he is part of the Atlantic Theatre Company and was not specifically attending the event, more so on the behalf of Atlantic Theatre Company, whatever. And I was just like, oh my god, Max Adler. I got to the event and he was one of the first people there. And so I was testing out me interviewing people for the night. And he was literally, I'm not just saying this, nicest person alive. So, so, so sweet. And then checked in on me throughout the night and was like, hey, how's it going, Andrew?

Do you need anybody else? Is there anybody else that you want to talk to? Max Adler, you know what? Would love to have you on the podcast. I'll say it. And then, of course, I posted about this. Gagatron3000, Lea Michele, what can I say about this interaction? Baby girl, did the step and repeat. Step and repeat, got your photos taken. And then I was very fortunate enough to be the only person with a microphone. And so I wasn't competing with anybody to get these celebrities' attentions. There was also Mary Steenburgen, William H. Macy, and Felicity Huffman, Ted Danson, all these famous people here. Darren was also there, but Darren showed up late before I, like, he didn't do this. Otherwise, I would have spoken to Glee's Darren Criss as well.

But the only thing that I said to Lea was that, of course, she looks slay. And I just needed to ask about, you know, what does it feel like to be here tonight, Lea? And so yeah, that was my interaction. No more. Nothing beyond that. Did I ask her to be on the podcast? I wish. But I also think that if I asked her to be on the podcast, I would have got a very disingenuous response. Lea Michele on this podcast will happen one day. I need to hold on to hope. That is the extent of my three Glee cast members that I spoke to recently. Oh, and then also, this is so fun. I went to go see Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York City, I think. Is that what it's called? I think that's it. Or across Manhattan.

And Elias and I were walking up to the theater. And I just see that then the person that is at the end of the line, Glee's Heather Morris spoke to her. Very, very nice girl. Of course, I've had conversations with her before. And she continues to be very, very kind. And I love her. It's surreal that whatever, I don't want to be annoying and just be like emo and main and be like, wow, it's insane that like, whatever. It's so weird to be having a conversation with myself and no one else. But just really, really nice woman. And I'm seeing Eleven in the Midnight again, because it's that damn good, with Claudia on Saturday. And so we'll see Hemo then. I love her. So that's that.

[12:12] Andrew McGuire: Okay, let's see what songs of those songs that I just listed that one, what songs are going to be against each other? Okay. The Bitch is Back, Dress You Up versus it's this one. Roots Before Branches. Up next. It's this song. Creep versus Edward shaking in his boots. Vogue. Oh, same amount of letters. Yeah. 1-2-3-4-5 1-2-3-4-5. Creep versus Vogue. Five letter, five letter off. Let's see. Love Song. Oh, God, I'm just like, I'm kind of over it. Can I be honest with you guys? Love Song actually just needs to be done. More than a feeling. And I think more than a feeling call to action. More than a feeling. Kill Love Song. I'm over it. Patrick's gonna hate me for saying that. Okay, Don't Stop Believing regionals version versus it's this one.

Loser Like Me season two version. That's a fun competition and also very nasty work. The Hall and Oates mashup. I can't go for that. You Make My Dreams versus Born This Way. It's All Over versus Oh, God, what is it? What is it? Don't Dream It's Over. Okay, making room on my desk to put all these out. Start Me Up Living on a Prayer versus It's All Coming Back to Me Now. I think I know how this movie ends. Um, let's see up next. Only a few more left. My Life Would Suck Without You versus We Are Young. Fun fact time. Both songs that they sang in the sectionals episode after they won sectionals. I still haven't found what I'm looking for versus I lived and then Chasing Pavements. Chasing Pavements.

So maybe I did the math wrong. Chasing Pavements because you were the final song pulled. You were getting a step up into round three of this ultimate song vote back. So congratulations Chasing Pavements you you are in round three of this ultimate song vote back. Of course you can go to patreon.com slash Gleek of the Week pod to vote on these competitions. I would really really appreciate it and thank you all for bearing with me between these buffer rounds. It comes at a very busy time in my life. And so this has definitely alleviated some of the workload of the typical episode weekly schedule. So thank you so much and I'll see you next week. Okay bye. It's Gleek. Gleek of the week.
