Glory of Gershwin proves that this isn't the case, simply by offering poor arrangements of great songs by singers who can't handle the material. Artists like Sting and Elvis Costello are weighed down by their literary and musical pretensions, and their contributions show why Glory of Gershwin is a failure; they sound smug and self-conscious, aware that they are singing some "serious music
