- "I Know Where I've Been" originally from Hairspray is featured in Transitioning, the seventh episode of Season Six. It is sung by Unique (Alex Newell) with the Transpersons Choir.
No copyright infringement is intended. Please note I do not own any of these songs or clips. If you are interested in this song it is available to buy and download from Google Play & iTunes along with all 121 Episodes from all 6 seasons. :)
Glee has not aged well in many aspects, but it was really one of the first shows of its kind to shed light on issues that were simply being pushed by the wayside.
This scene alone is enough to make me a forever fan. Everything about it is just beyond amazing. The acting. The singing. The sense of unity.
People politicize the trans community to a point where they are dehumanized. I’d like to imagine that if those same people watched this scene, they would see that in many ways, trans people are a little more human than the rest of us, in large part because they have to be in order to exist in this cesspool of bigotry that we call the world.
Out of all of the things Glee got wrong, they sure did get this one thing right.
I think Glee got a LOT of things right over its six season run. Just like any show, it had good and not-so-good episodes, but you can't deny its heart and the sheer vocal talent from nearly all the cast members throughout the years.
Beautiful words.
Well said.
Unique and Mercedes has always been the most vocally talented actors in glee
I just wished they did a song together
Naya rivers , Lea Michelle, Darren criss
Don't let Lea Michelle see this or she'll hunt you down
Las mejores voces de las mujeres son Rachel Mercedes Unique y de hombres Blane y Jesse
@@ashleyroemer640 Y'all keep bringing up Naya and Darren like they are power vocalists. They are not. They are good singers and I like them, but they are not in the realm of Amber Riley, Alex Newell or even Lea Michele. Like come on.
How does anyone make it through this song without crying. The hurt in the lyrics is so strong, the vocals are full of power, and the harmonies are phenomenal.
Do you hear me they killed this yes Jesus very well said 💯
Right when I saw this and realized what was happening I cried. It’s amazing
This is amazing but I only cried in the quarterback tbh
My guess is that it's there anthem and it's a thumbing good one to have. Yes it is a sad song a song of heard time but that truly is what makes it so good.
I don't know how but, I would have choked up during the middle to end
The strongest voices were always underused, wtf
RILEY agrees...
THIS is the comment
@@andreadh7913 nah, mercedes had a lot of performances/solos compared to sunshine, unique or others
@@len.4228 and? She’s still underrated
@@len.4228she never got a solo in any of one directions competition performances. They only used her when they wanted a belt and the end of the song even though it was clear she was one of if not thee strongest vocalist in the group
Unique just wasn’t used properly in the show she sang just as well as Mercedes and she wasn’t used properly as a character either they both deserved sm more spotlight
She*
Neither was showcased as they should have been. And the series would have been better if Amber and Alex had been featured more, and many other characters.
She****
I think it’s because Alex couldn’t portray emotions as well as when they are singing. I’m sure it was difficult for the writers to go further with their storyline.
They just needed more practice acting, I think that’s why the cat fishing storyline had such an abrupt ending. We didn’t see any repercussions during the next season, as if it never happened
Unique is so talented at singing but such a one note of a character
This is by far the most powerful performance this show has ever done. Gives me chills each and every time I watch it.
If you see the Boston gay men's choir's performance with Alex Newell, you will see the ultimate version of this song.
Atlas Life so true. That performance is transcendent. Absolutely stunning.
Totally true! He brought the house down!
Yes!!!
I much prefer this version. Everything is right with it.
So true it was amazing
Unique deserved more! So did Coach Bieste!
Both characters are amazing!
And this is the best scene ever
I already loved this song, and Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson already sing it phenomenally when they did, but when Alex Newell hits that last note an octave higher, it's just amazing. And the unity of the chorus behind them. Amazing. Pure perfection.
Mercedes feels like a proud mom at the end! Alex (in my opinion) is a way better singing then Rachel!! I still love her tho
Nobody loves her now lol
@@DapperLibra People can still love Rachel and Lea Michele's talent without liking her as a person
@@superninja6481 indeed. I love her voice and talent. But she as a person is just disgusting.
@@carlosrestrepo394 how
@@elijahchidiebere2670, there was news before that the cast of Glee said things about Lea Michelle's bad attitude. She acted like the Diva and felt like she is above all the casts because she got more solos. This is real life.
Alex is such an amazing singer.
He’s legit one of the best singers
Wasn't Alex on the Glee Project?? My daughter n I watched that show n they had some good singers on it
@@mariacherrington8825 he’s is the main person singing there he plays a transgender female tho
Didn’t see one comment bout this so let me do it
That final ‘BEEN’ wooooooooooow, i got goosebumps, and when Glee achieves that it means it’s special.
Under no circumstances should this performance be underrated 👌🏽
This is what acceptance looks like it should be used by more people ❤️🙏🏼
I would of loved to see kitty and unique have a scene in this as kitty makes such a point about how they all abandoned her and don’t speak anymore
I love that everyone behind unique's back singing are trans❤❤..this was beautiful
Wow! Rivaling Queen Latifah.
Everyone on this show was amazing. It is a shame they wasted so much time on Rachel instead of making it an ongoing showcase for endless talent.
this performance always makes me feel butterflies like the first time i saw it. seeing the couch singing while crying in the back, also unique/alex's voice, he made this song his song. i really think this is the top #1 best glee performance.
i wouldn't be surprised to know that unique/alex actually performed live because everyone seemed genuinely touched, rachel/lea was almost crying too.
I adore the original but the emotion and pure talent in this version is just breathtaking and moving
No matter who you are or who you choose to be you are human and right and should be treated as such
So much love and respect for this song and everyone fighting a battle that shouldn’t even exist
hands down the most emotional performance in the show, i get chills every time ❤️
THE FINAL BEEN. THAT NOTE. COMPLETE CHILLS MY GOD.
One of the best renditions ever! Period!!!
I've never cried harder at this show, this scene hits me every time and it's so good
One of the most beautiful performances in the history of glee and music! I was in tears when I watched this 🙌🏼
When I realized what was going on the first time I saw this I cried my eyes out this was so beautiful. There aren’t too many moments like this.
Alex Newell has a voice that's liquid gold. And what a range! Just incredible 🤩
It doesn’t matter which rendition of this song I watch, every single time it makes me cry
Gives me chills every time
Absolutely Amazing Vocalist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ALEX NEWELL bound for a TONY AWARD
As a deaf gay man who has faced discrimination on many occasions this wonderful performance turned me into a sobbing wreck.
Alex was and always will be a bright bright shining star! That TONY was well deserved!
The choir comes in and take this song over 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽.....they carried those runs like they were nothing!💯💯💯
Alex sang this beautifully.
That last note challenging Latifah, and hudson.
whenever i feel successful on my littlest achievements in life, i go to watch this video to remain humble. it reminds me of all my social struggles, pain & heartbreaks brought by homophobia and use it to even better myself in this world. THIS SONG MAKES YOU GROUNDED AND KINDER EACH TIME FOR EVERYONE IN THIS CRUEL WORLD. We all have undeniable suffering each time but you are never alone. Somewhere, somehow we have someone out there whose experiences match yours so never feel alone - only stronger each time. 💯 ❣️
This performance was PHENOMENAL! And the sustained high Ab5 at the end was 🔥🔥🔥!!!
The best version of this song by far
Alex just fucking owns this song.
One of the best performances ever on the show , an absolutely epic performance by Alex Newell 👏🏽👏🏽
I keep swearing that one day, I'll get all the way through this performance without crying. Today is not that day 🥰😪
Never ceases to give me goosebumps!😱🥹😭
I dont think people give Glee the credit it deserves in changing the way we view people now adays its had its problems and we can argue whether that change was truly positive or not but it did a lot Glee really changed the world a little
chills. every time.
Never watched glee because I didn’t care for some of the stereotypes and labels I heard were pushed in the show but this performance alone has me in full tears and makes me want to give it a chance
Unique SANG this!!!
my favorite rendition of this song
Honestly only her or Mercedes could’ve sang this song and do it justice
man i still can't watch this scene without bloody bawling ! its so wholesome man !
Alex really naild the art of mixed voice ✨🔥 insane Range for a Male.
There's a light in the darkness
Though the night is black as my skin
There's a light, burning bright, showing me the way
But I know where I've been
There's a cry in the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry asking why, I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah
'Cause I know where I've been
There's a road we've been travelin'
Lost so many on the way
But the riches will be plenty
Worth the price, the price we had to pay
There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do
And I know where I've been, yeah
There's a road we must travel
There's a promise we must make
Oh, but the riches, the riches will be plenty
Worth the risks and the chances that we take
There's a dream, yeah, in the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up to tomorrow
'Cause just to it still would be a sin
I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going
Lord knows I know where I've been
Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been

El mejor solo de la temporada 6
This performance was beautiful
This is the most emotional performance for me on glee along with If I were a boy
now im crying
Thanks
This scene was so powerful and incredible and emotional!’n I wish glee cover more hairspray songs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tears flowing beautiful ❤️
Beautiful and so moving ... in tears here, totally sensational
Essa performance é uma das mais PIKA de Glee! Amoooo ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😢 amazing
Não tem UMA VEZ SEQUER que não me emociono com essa perfomance do Alex!!!!
Phenomenal song from hairspray
Holy shit that was amazing
One of the best voices in the world!!!!
im about to pick this thing apart (In a good way) (my show choir ass couldn't help it's self)
0:04 it starts
0:29 this line sets up the whole song. just by this line you know that this will be amazing
0:36 the vibrotto on the riff is beautiful.
0:44 when she goes high on "Deep" it's fucking amazing
0:55 her riffs are beauty.
1:08 I know this isn't about the singing (we all know that's beautiful) but when she goes over to him and takes his hand it's a "You're not alone" "We love you" and that is so affirming. To know that you aren't alone.
1:15 this line is so fucking powerful
1:24 his face is pure joy. Having them all be trans is one of the best desitions they could have made for this (Besides deciding her to sing this)
1:36 the run to the people that will accept him is just AHHHHHHHH it brings me to tears every time
1:38 her belt is GORGEOUS
1:42 her backing vocals are on point
2:15 the way she goes into this is just emaculet and then she goes straight into the high note is beautiful
2:32 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHES SO TALENTED. THAT NOTE!!!!!
Love the dissection bestie, just mentioning that Alex Newell is not trans and identifies as male
@@styles2535 my b
Epic!
Sublime ❤🎉🥰😍
As a trans person this song and performance touch me deeply❤
Rachel can never compare!!
SHES THE BEST
Imagine bein able to sing like this…makes me emosh! #shebetalented
Wow😇🥰Amazing😭
Alex Newell has always been the moment
And Matthew Morrison (Will Schuster) was the original "Link Larken" in Hairspray on Broadway. He actually sang this 8 times a week..... Full Cast and Ensemble together alongside the actress who played Motormouth.
This might be one of the most important scenes in all of glee
WOW
God she’s (and she is a she, period!) is so amazingly beautiful and talented!!
Do you mean alex because Alex identify as he so good intentions but no
@@MarniCollier They're talking about the character, not the actor.
crying
If the Glee club had a Unique, why didn't they make such a majestic performance in competitions like this one? Instead they gave us bland Marley and annoying Blaine
But I know where I’ve been🎶
Wow
There's unusual way of seeing this song, everytime that I've seen it i start to cry and hope. I found it very social for me, because i don't see it like theme of black people, or lgbt community.. It's about all difficulties and injustices in our world, but, there's a hope. 🙂
why am i crying
I’ve been working on glee fanfiction and I was wondering if anyone thought reflections from Mulan should’ve been sung during this episode
wow just spotted TS Madison
I knew I wasnt crazy. That's our Porta Rickon queen right there.
