    For context of why Kurt didn’t hit that note, it’s because it was an audition kinda thing ( i can’t exactly remember) and he threw the note because he didn’t want to be bullied for having a female role (he hits it earlier in the same episode)
    Also for songs I would recommend
    Kurt - not the boy next door
    and Mercedes - River Deep, Mountain High
    Edit: He didn’t want his FATHER to be harassed, my bad

    For some really great Kurt songs, try:
    Roses Turn - Season 1 Episode 18 Laryngitis
    I Want to Hold Your Hand - Season 2 Episode 3 Grilled Cheesus
    Le Jazz Hot - Season 2 Episdoe 4 Duets
    The Boy Next Door - Season 3 Episdoe 18 Choke
    The Greatest Star - Season 3 Episode 2 I am Unicorn
    I Believe in a Thing Called Love - Season 5 Episode 9 Frenemies
    Context for this video:
    Kurt really wanted a chance to sing this song, but Mr Schue and Rachel basically told him he didn't deserve the chance since it's typically a girls song (hence the stick eye he keeps giving them throughout this). Then his dad threatened to sue the school if he didn't get a fair chance so it became a "Diva Off". Kurt hit the note in rehearsal but blew the note on purpose after his dad received a homophobic phone call about him, and wanted to try and protect his dad from that side of his life.

    You said Unique… There is a character in the show with that name, one of the best voices among the cast. Her best performance is “If I Were a Boy”, you should TOTALLY check it out! Also, grab a tissue, it’s very emotional…

    One of my all-time favorite Mercedes performances is her season 1/Episode 16 "Beautiful"... So much more raw than some of the other songs where it sounds like they have "processed" her voice, and demonstrative of the sheer talent she has from the start of the series when she felt like she was always pushed into the background.
    10 years later, it still brings tears to my eyes, and not just when I catch glimpses of the 3 lost talents...

    Love the Glee reactions and would love to see more Kurt/Chris Colfer. Him and Rachel do a great 'Bring Him Home' battle and 'For Good' but his 'Being Alive', 'As if we never say goodbye', 'Not the boy next door' and 'Roses turn' are absolutely amazing (also I'm sure someone has said but his character throws the note on purpose so he doesn't win - he's actually shown in the episode hitting it in practice as his dad gets homophobic calls about him). I just need someone to appreciate Kurt/Chris Colfer's magic voice

  • @Dani-fs5ty
    @Dani-fs5ty 2 роки тому +20

    Please do "River Deep, Mountain High" with Mercedes and Santana. It's one of my favorites of the entire show! (I love anything they sing, let's be honest). Adding "Rumor Has It/Someone Like You" mashup with those two because it is divine!

    • @uribove

    For Mercedes, "and I am telling you" is a must-see! Maybe give River deep, mountain high a listen too. As for Kurt, I recommend Rose's turn. I believe they let Chris Colfer choose Rose's turn as a song, and it suits him much better than many of the other songs they had him sing during the show.

    - Try a Little Tenderness
    - Disco Inferno
    - I Will Always Love You
    - Jump (she does an INSANE solo here)

    Kurt/Chris Colfer has a really amazing range and voice, but I think his strongest suit is probably his acting (as Chris,) and the emotion he brings to each song. With that being said, Rose's Turn, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and I Am Not the Boy Next Door are my personal favorites of his songs (with Hold Your Hand being really strong vocally, too.)

  • @kykyt-t6170
