“Glee: The Music Presents Glease” takes some of the most well-loved karaoke anthems known to man and turns them into over-produced, poorly sung pieces of fluff. Tunes from the movie musical “Grease” like “You’re the One That I Want” and “Greased Lightning” have the lyrics of the original songs, but not much of the talent or polish. Even oft-forgotten ballad “There Are Worse Things I Could Do,” sung by Becca Tobin as Kitty, will disappoint a true Grease fan. The album does have a bright spot. Despite the rest of the cast offering lackluster performances, Darren Criss manages to shine as Blaine with songs “Beauty School Drop Out” and “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” With its interpretation of “Grease,” “Glee” proves it should stick to current pop and stay away from cult classics.
