The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.
Maybe This Time
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe this time he'll stay
Maybe this time, For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Anymore
Like the last time and the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful, lady happy
That's what I long to be
All the odds are
They're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gonna happen ha ha
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win
Cause, everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful, lady happy
That's what I long to be
All the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gonna happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
I'll win
I'll win
Win!

@LiquidWolfmans
The way they sing the song... It's like complete opposites. Lea's version is more like "I don't think so but there could be a chance..." while Kristin's version has got a sort of "go big or go home" attitude.
@matt._.9672
remembering this was Rachel in season 1 if Lea sung this as season 6 Rachel she would make it perfect to be honest
@tuz2160
April characterises it perfectly, Rachel is more naive in terms of less experience, so it ain't nearly as good... But she would get there irl.
@tuz2160
also APRIL'S RANGE LIKE WUT COMPLETE CONTROL WHERE EVER RACHEL STRUGGLES
@michelenguyen2003
@@tuz2160 I guess that's the whole point of it, to show people that Rachel is good but she still needs more experience/pratice
@adahkaplan8494
Definitely and Kristins voice is twangy while Rachel’s has depth...it’s fitting
@Marie45610
Worst thing Glee did was not have April Rhodes* meet Shelby Corcoran*. That would have been amazing.
@mckaylahutcherson8358
they did meet in the 100th episode one but I could be wrong when shelby and april and gwenth paltrols(spelled that wrong) wheee trying to get glee back
@folklore_of_beth
