| The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele sings the absolute pants off of everything the producers give her. The album sometimes strays away from choral arrangements and focuses on individual actors, but it's hard not to sing along with a song like "Jump," where the cast replaces Eddie Van Halen's keyboard riff with bright choral harmonies. ~ Andrew Leahey | |

| Picking up where Volume 1 left off, Glee: The Music, Volume 2 offers the remaining songs from the fall season of Glee. Volume 2 is chock full of Top 40, R&B, and, of course, gives another nod to Broadway. We’ve already established that the Glee actors can sing. Standouts this go-round include Mathew Morrison and Lea Michele's (Will and Rachel) duet cover of “Endless Love,” which is just as good, if not better, than the original Lionel Richie and Diana Ross version. I also greatly prefer Morrison’s vocals in ballads such as this, to the pop and/or rap he usually performs on the show....read the full review | |
