Oh my gosh! I cannot get this song out of my head!! It has been giving me chills since I heard it Tuesday night. I have always loved the cello. I actually taught myself how to play it in eighth grade when my orchestra teacher wouldn't let me switch from the violin that I had been playing since third grade. I would go down at lunch to one of the practice rooms and borrow a cello and some books and figured the basics out on my own. Sadly I never got near this good nor do I remember much of the bass clef. Anyway, cellos are my favorite stringed instrument. Bar none, even though I can still play my violin...barely. 9 years of private lessons and orchestra make it hard to forget. Kind of like riding a bicycle.
What is funny is I am really not a Michael Jackson fan. Like at all. As in never will I stop for a Michael Jackson song on the radio nor have I ever. But this episode of Glee made all of his songs sound good!
Here are the same guys (2Cellos) performing With or Without You, by U2....Another song that gives me chills.

I just saw an article on 'why the cello is going pop'. I love good music and its great that a beautiful instrument like the cello is getting more popular attention.
I like the guy that plays the cello on the pianoguys. I may have o post some of those on my blog
I played the cello for two years before I was forced to give it up when we moved (long story). I has been one of the biggest regrets of my life. Thanks for posting the videos. Awesomeness.
I love the with or without you. Amazing!
I don't have tv so don't get to enjoy glee music unless it plays on my pandora station. Thanks for sharing, loved it!
I loved this episode, too. I've always enjoyed MJ music, but never was a serious fan. I've been so impressed with all the Glee re-makes of music...but the Journey collection is still my fav.
