Break out the leg warmers.

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 1)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 17)

Not to sway the vote one way or another, but Jane Lynch’s faces make me laugh in spite of myself.

So, how do you prefer your Madonna–straight up or mashed up?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 4)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 15–I couldn’t find a video without the lyrics in subtitle, sorry!)

Both shows turn “Jump” into male/female duets, but which one is less likely to make Van Halen throw up in its mouth?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 1)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 12)

Another earnest classic, but who did it better?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 4)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 11)

Hint: Only one involves fake tears!

“Lean on Me” is a high school chorus staple. But who did it best, the Kids Incorporated, or Glee?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 6)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 10)

It’s weird hearing kids sing this song, no doubt about it. But which kids sang it better?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 6)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 9)

Glee certainly takes the song in a new direction, but is it a good one?

Apologies as both videos this week are of less-than-stellar quality. Still, who wins in this week’s Glee/Kids Incorporated match-up?

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 2)

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 6)

What do you think? Does the presence of Beyonce help or hinder the Glee kids?

Inspired by my last post on the similarities between Glee and Kids Incorporated, I dug up another side-by-side comparison. This time, you be the judge: Which video do you prefer?

(From Glee, Season 1, Episode 1)

(From Kids Incorporated, Season 1)

Not to influence opinion at all, but I do think Kids Incorporated deserves some credit for changing the lyrics from “I need a man” to “I need someone.” Way to be accidentally progressive, Disney.

My thoughts about Glee are hard to express in words, so I’ll let these videos say what I’m thinking.

(Pay special attention to the dance moves around the 1:20 mark.)

(I don’t know what’s going on between the girl in the hat and the keytarist.)

I can’t tell if this boils down to, “I liked it better the first time around, when it was called Kids Incorporated,” or “This is just as bad as Kids Incorporated!”

Last week on Friday Night Lights, Tim became an assistant coach for the East Dillon Lions, while Coach struggled to scrape together funds for his scruffy team. Matt learned that art is about being a miserable, unbathed recluse, which understandably freaked Julie out. Buddy Garrity went off the reservation re: the Panthers under the odious thumb of Revoltin’ Joe McCoy. Vince, Landry, and Luke continued to flail about on the ragtag Lions team. And now, on to episode four, Dillon: A New Hope.

We've got spirit, yes we do! And barbecue!
