'Glee': Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele cover Adele, listen here
Oh, Jonathan Groff. Your first episode back on "Glee" hasn't even aired yet, but we're going to go out on a limb and say it'll be your best one yet. Last week, we reported that Groff would be covering Adele's hit song "Rolling In the Deep" when he returned to the FOX show. We speculated that it could possibly be a duet with Lea Michele, but that was more wishful thinking than anything.
Well, it turns out the "Glee" gods heard us (thank you, Grilled Cheesus!) because it is a duet and it's just leaked online for you listening pleasure. The duo will be performing "Rolling In the Deep" on Tuesday, May 10, in the prom episode aptly titled "Prom Queen."
Our thoughts? We love it. Our favorite thing about Groff's Jesse St. James is that he can actually keep up with Rachel vocally. Oh yeah, Finn (Cory Monteith) fans. We went there. And we bought property.
Surprisingly, they went with John Legend's version of the song (he released the cover in March), which is a capella and has a little bit more of a gospel feel than Adele's original version. This is the first time we've heard the song sang as a duet and we think it works really well, especially for this "Glee" couple.
Plus, it's Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff. They could sing the phone book together and we'd buy it on iTunes. Maybe.
Listen to Michele and Groff's "Rolling In the Deep" below and let us know what you think of their cover in the comments.

It's "ok"
I love Adele's version. This 1.... not so much. :|
I'm don't like it all that much actually. Like Adele's version a lot more!
tumblr just exploded. pretty gutsy going acapella but if there's two people who can make it work, it's these two. JONATHAN GROFF'S VOICE JFC. WHY ISN'T HE A REGULAR YET?!
I love it. They are so great when they sing together! He can definitely hold his own singing with her and I love that. I love Adele's version and I wish they had went with that version, but I would love anything they sing!
Nup. Adele is much better. And i saw a vid on youtube of a choir doing it; so much better and so young! This is bullshit. And when they say 'We could of had it All' it doesnt flow. And they didnt get the 'never could miss you' whisper in the back right. Plus, the guys voice is all wrong for this part. Oh well
I like it, of course Adele beat it, but this is very good indeed :)
Serious? This version s**ks for the lack of a better word.
Man you people are mean. Can't you just say you didn't like it?
Seriously? Jon doesn't sound too great on this. Strained on notes even. Why did they think they could do Adele?
