She's the diva in the Glee Club, pastilah Rachel (diperankan oleh Lea Michele) menjadi sorotan utama. Makanya, Take A Bow kemudian terpilih menjadi lead single dari album soundtracknya. Lagu ciptaan Ne-Yo dan Stargate ini dalam versi Rachele memiliki durasi lebih singkat dan vokal yang lebih kuat. Aransemen yang digunakan persis, sehingga kita seperti mendengarkan versi karaoke. Tapi kekuatan vokal Rachel yang menjadikan lagu ini setingkat lebih 'nendang' dibanding versi aslinya. Tapi aku menangkap a lack of emotion.
Lagu ini tampil dalam episode Showmance, dimana rachel yang selalu mendapatkan big solo ditentang oleh Mercedes yang menyatakan bahwa dirinya adalah Beyonce, bukan Kelly Rowland! Bagaimana dengan pendapat kritikus? The Wall Street Journal mencatat Take A Bow sebagai lagu yang berhasil take everyone's breath away, dan USA Today menyebutnya sebagai soaring moment bagi Rachel. So, it's positive! Lagu ini bahkan masuk Top 40 di Australia dan posisi 19 di Irlandia. Kita tungguin aja kemunculannya di radio-radio tanah air. Dan oh ya, selain Lea, lagu ini juga menampilkan vokal Amber Riley (Mercedes) dan Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) sebagai backing vocals!

Lyrics:
Ohh, how about a round of applause,
Hey, standin' ovation,
Ooh ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
You look so dumb right now,
Standin' outside my house,
Tryin' to apologize,
you're so ugly when you cry,
Please, just cut it out.
don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not,
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught,
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it's time to go (oh),
Curtain?s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it's over now (but it's over now),
Go on and Take A Bow, ohh ohh.
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone),
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on (come on),
Talkin? 'bout girl, I love you, you're the one,
This just looks like a re-run,
Please, what else is on.
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not (mmm),
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught (mmm),
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it's time to go (oh),
Curtain?s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it's over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh.
And the award for the best lier goes to you (goes to you),
For makin' me believe that you could be faithful to me,
Let's hear your speech OUT? (But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin'),
But now it's time to go (oh),
Curtain?s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it's over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow.
But it's over now
