Glee Audition Videos: How Can Bad Music Be So Good?
And by good, we mean hilarious and strangely affecting. The user-submitted audition vids for Glee, Fox's teen singing dramedy, inspire heaps of schadenfreude.

This cover of Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" self-destructs after about 1:50 but kept us watching until its abrupt end. (It also kinda makes us yearn for the day that bluntly branded athletic gear becomes ironic hipster chic, 'cuz you know it's coming...)
Other Glee submissions come from folks who wouldn't know a tune if it sucker-punched them in the face. Watch Javier's adorable, yearning look in the first few seconds of this vid, and hope his prayers for perfect pitch are answered:
