Week after week, the "Glee" cast has been delivering catchy covers of songs that people already love, so it's not surprising that in addition to big sales and ratings numbers, they're starting to receive music industry accolades as well. And on Wednesday night, they managed to snag two Grammy nominations, not just for the obvious category — Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media — but also for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for their cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."
"That's so cool!" star Lea Michele (Rachel) said of the kudos. But she almost missed the news of their nods, since she was traveling to New York to attend the Billboard Women in Music Awards on Thursday (December 2).
"I had to turn my phone off last night when we were taking of to come to New York, so up until the last minute I was texting my castmembers like, 'What's going on?' " she told MTV News on the red carpet of the Billboard event, where she was honored as a Triple Threat. "And then when I landed, I had, like, four from all of them like, 'We got nominated!' "
Funny enough, they are up against Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" and Paramore's "The Only Exception," both of which have been reimagined on "Glee." (Also nominated in the category are Maroon 5 for "Misery" and Sade for "Babyfather.") And though the soundtrack nod is nothing to sneeze at, Michele has a soft spot for the Journey cover that was featured in the show's season-one finale.
"I'm so happy, especially that it's for 'Don't Stop Believin',' which is for the whole cast, so that we all get to go," she said. "That's just awesome."
