Chapel Hill Kids Give REM's 'Everybody's Hurts' the Full 'Glee' Treatment


With thanks to Rich: "Glee" is a TV show, so of course the songs those kids sing sound a little too good to be true. So imagine my surprise when I heard the Hollywood magic coming from these 32 regular high school kids from Chapel Hill, NC, singing REM's "Everybody Hurts." If I didn't know better, I'd think Rachel was about to appear out of nowhere and make the whole thing about her. I wonder if my fifth-grade chorus at Hiller Elementary's version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" sounded this good -- time to track down Miss Grant Mrs. Lewis to find out. (I've been meaning to ask her if I left my recorder in the music room, anyway!)
