    That fact that this got him into NYADA but not his iconic performance of boy next door will never cease to baffle me. Don’t get me wrong, both are good, but boy next door was the perfect fit for his voice

      I think Maddame Tibido’s point was that boy next door was just that, a performance, but with being alive she got to see his raw soul and talent stripped down. It’s more true to who he really is.

    • @Mimi2155141122
      @Mimi2155141122 Рік тому +7

      The reason NTBND didn’t get him into NYADA is because no one was ever allowed to outshine Rachel, even if they deserved it. Kurt had something great in his life, his dreams were coming true, but could he enjoy it? No, because heaven forbid Rachel actually let anyone else have a moment. Instead of him having the spot he obviously earned judging by Carmen’s comments at his original audition, they backtracked and made it all about Rachel yet again getting what she wanted. And yes I am still bitter about this. Kurt is my favorite character on Glee and he deserved a lot better than what he got.

      I think the worst of this is Kurt/Chris has this talent to emote it is his gift. While I think Rachel/Lea is a phenom I dont feel anything when I watch her perform. When we are supposed to believe NYADA is a Performing Arts College specializing in Music Theater and I get Lea is Funny Girl right now I still rather see a play with Kurt or Chris in my mind better suited for such a school. She should have stuck with Juilliard or found a Conservatory like Oberlin

It’s restrained and emotive just as it should be. Sometimes less is more and that’s what I always appreciate about Kurt performances. He always puts emotion into them.

    Chris Colfer is a counter tenor. I love this, but I think his performance of "The Boy Next Door" was better. My favorite is his slowed down version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Speaking of counter tenors, Alex Newell as "Unique" deserves a reaction. In an audition on The Glee Project, Alex sang "I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls and hit a high note at the end I had never heard from any of the ladies I've heard sing the song. As for the ladies, I prefer Amber Riley to Lea.

It was kinda dumb and I thought it would have been more interesting with their roles reversed.

I hate hearing Lea sing bc I always just feel obligated to grade her and give her an A. She’s just extra af and I don’t care for it at all . But when Kurt sings I actually feel something and not someone just belting and showing me their tonsils like Lea.

      I think it was more of a personal choice than not knowing it was a possibility because he did the dropped-jaw thing she mentioned in the show before and after this song with other numbers. Plus it’s seems like a very obvious singing technique, something he definitely would have learned by s4 if he didn’t know before, and there were vocal coaches on set to help out if needed.

Maybe it’s the auto tune but it just sounds like a pretty voice with very little emotion. Maybe I’m an a-hole and feel free to lmk but I really dislike his performance.
