Gotye criticises Glee's "ultra dry" 'Somebody That I Used To Know' cover

Gotye has criticised Glee's cover of his hit track 'Somebody That I Used To Know', calling it "ultra dry".

The song has become a global sensation, receiving over 175 million YouTube views - so naturally, Glee came calling.

Speaking to the Sunday Mail, Gotye said that whilst the instrumental side of the track was performed "faithfully", he didn't exactly think much of the vocals. He said:

"They did such a faithful arrangement of the instruments but the vocals were that pop Glee style, ultra dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense, like it's playing to you from a cardboard box. It made it sound dinky and wrong."

The Glee juggernaut meanwhile seems no closer to stopping, with news recently breaking that they have now scored their 200th Billboard Hot 100 hit.
