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

“Alright sing it Rachel. What are you wearing? That’s cute. 😐” LITERALLY KILLED ME

“What’re you wearing . . . that’s cute” LMAOOO 😂😂

Kurt threw the note on purpose, so his dad didn't have to deal with people calling his son homophobic names. He can do the note, but threw it for his father.

If you want a killer Mercedes performance, I HIGHLY suggest her doing “and I am telling you I’m not going”. It’s incredible.

Mercedes: sings. Hannah: why is anyone else singing. Me: exactly.

Amber Riley is a MONSTER! Vocally, range, presence, undeniable. I’ll say her rendition of “Ain’t No Way” is immaculate

Amber Riley's "Ain't No Way" is spectacular, but even her pop covers like "Blame It On The Alcohol" and intro to "Goldigger" are amazing.

Kurt's best performances are definitely "not the boy next door", "rose's turn", "le jazz hot", "being alive" and "I want to hold your hand"

“River Deep, Mountain High” by Mercedes and Santana is a MUST!

“Why is anyone else singing?!” Pretty much sums up all of Glee haha! Yes, please dedicate a video to Mercedes. “I am telling you,” “Rumor has is” (duet mashup with Santana), and “Take Me or Leave me” (duet with Rachel) are definitely my favorites of hers! Actually, even if you choose another song, you MUST check out the “Rumor Has It” mashup! It’s incredible.

Amber Riley (Mercedes) is actually a classically trained soprano! Kurt song recs: boy next door, roses turn, I wanna hold your hand, I’m still here, being alive! Also the breakup episode from season 4 is full of songs and some great vocal moments and I think you’d love it

Amber Riley is a trained operatic singer. She said in an interview that she never really belted much before Glee. Hence why she has a great head voice mix.

“Why is anyone else even singing?” Is exactly what I think about Mercedes when I watch this episode

YOU HAVE TO REACT TO KURT AND RACHEL SINGING “Happy Days are here again/Get Happy”

"Why is anyone else singing? She sounds amazing" LITERALLY

fun fact: idina Menzel who sung the first defying gravity actually plays Rachels mum in glee

Amazing songs for characters: Kurt: “Not the Boy Next Door”, “Rose’s Turn” and other songs Mercedes: any song Santana: “Smooth Criminal”, “Valerie”, and any other song

Why is no one mentioning Rachel and Kurts “For Good” in New York?! Or Rachel’s “Being Good Isn’t Good Enough” 😍

For Mercedes I would recomend: "Bust the window of your car" and "Rumour Has It/Someone Like You" (one of the best Glee Mash ups)

Something I love about Chris' performance is that he learned to sing WHILE fliming season 1. He managed to develop this amazing voice in such a short amount of time.

VALERIE, SMOOTH CRIMINAL Sorry I just love those songs, and I love your reactions 💗💗

Rachel singing “My Man” in season 6 (idk which episode specifically) & leaving Kurt in tears… love or hate her, that voice.. my God you gotta give her credit for that. If you wanna be truly impressed by her check that one out.

So, Amber did some Wicked for the recent anniversary performance and she adds runs that would sound out of place for ANYONE else. I strongly recommend listening to it (I'm going to go do that right now!), thanks for this video!

The BEST Kurt solo is "Being Alive." It's honestly a top 5 Glee song. Additionally, his version of "Rose's Turn" is one of the best versions of that song.

HANNAH! Glee is being taken off of Netflix in November so if you are planning any more videos, you'll have to do them quickly or find another place to watch it for reactions.

I love that Hannah mentioned Lindsay Pearce considering her time in The Glee Project and playing Harmony in Glee. I remember they used to say she was the real life Rachel, so for her to end up Elphaba in Broadway, and for Glee to return to Defying Gravity in the later season is so cool.

In the second version, Rachel is clearly holding back. She's best when she gets to do her own justice

Also we find out throughout the episode Kurt missed the note on purpose

definitely should react to “Ain’t no way”. it is SOO underrated and SOO good !!!! It’s a duet but “River deep mountain high” is amazing also.

I honesly think that ”Being Alive” and ”As if we never said Goodbye” are my favourite Kurt songs. I really think that those two songs will show his vocal range in the best way ☺️✨

Another GREAT glee performance is Adam Lambert’s Marry the Night, that one is INCREDIBLE

I would say Kurt’s best performances are Not The Boy Next Door and Rose’s Turn

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.

One of Mercedes' best performances in my opinion is "I Will Always Love You". It gives me chills every time. Also, "Bust Your Windows" was another AMAZING performance.

“As if we’ve never said goodbye” , “being alive”, and “not the boy next door” are some of my favorites of Kurts !!

When Hannah asked if we noticed anything different I thought it was the fact that she remembered Kurt’s name the first time 😭❤️

Ain’t no way is definitely Mercedes’ best solo. I would highly recommend

I thought Rachel and Kurt singing For Good was really amazing 'cause it came later after they became friends on the show and they sounded so good together. As for Mercedes I really loved it when she sang. I Look To You.

I’m not sure if anyone has said it but Mercedes kills it with: Disco Inferno, Ain’t No Way, Someday We’ll Be Together, and Try a Little Tenderness. All four of those songs had me in a pile of tears and goosebumps 😭

When Kurt sings Being Alive it is more in his lower register.

Kurt does an amazing performance of “Blackbird” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Please please react to “Cough Syrup” from Darren Criss as Blaine because it’s phenomenal

The BEEEEEEST Rachel/Kurt like back and forth like this, was Dont Cry For Me Argentina. Same key, same like, solo singing it but flashing back and forth. It was phenomenal

kurt singing "I want to hold your hand", "Rose's Turn", and "Not the Boy Next Door", and "Blackbird"

Mercedes slays every single song. I think she’s the most consistent and impressive of all of them on the show. They all have great voices but Mercedes is just 🔥

You should consider listening to Kurt singing “Black Bird”. It’s probably my favorite performance of his through the entire series.

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!

Literally all of Mercedes performances are amazing. Pick any season and you’re gonna love it! Please do Amber’s version of Defying Gravity that she did for the Wicked Concert!

It's not her most challenging, but Amber's take on Human Nature is very warm. Ain't No Way is probably my favorite of her songs. Chris's version of I Wanna Hold Your Hand (with an arrangement like Across the Universe) always makes me tear up. Also, as we're getting close to the holiday, Baby It's Cold Outside is very sweet and flirty.

What I like about Lea and Chris is that you can really tell their improvement in singing through the seasons. (I mean they are awesome singers in season 1 but later.. uh.) ☺️

One of my favorite Kurt performances is from Season 4, episode 9, Being Alive. Definitely worth a listen.

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

Coach: To compare both auditions, you can find on internet the whole Rachel version and the whole Kurt version (yes, without the wrong note). If you don't have them I can share them

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…

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.

Mercedes' best song for me has always been her version of "Ain't No Way". Other great ones are: - Angels We Have Heard on High - Try a Little Tenderness - Disco Inferno - I Will Always Love You - Jump (she does an INSANE solo here)

You gotta listen to Rachel and Mercedes sing together… “take me or leave me”. They kill this song together

Kurt’s best performance: The Greatest Star Mercedes’ best performance: And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going On a different note, please react to Adam Lambert on Glee and more Santana!!! :)

One more defying gravity... but by SUPERFRUIT..REALLY GOOD. They definitely killed it. High notes and all! 💯🙌🏾

If you looking for great Mercedes peformence you need to check out "And I am telling you" from glee or Oliver Awards cause Amber actually played elfie on westend and absolutely killed it.

Kurt singing I Want to Hold Your Hand to his father is incredibly emotional and definitely one of his best.

The harmonies in the album version of this are amazing

Hannah. Your videos make me smile and laugh every day. I love your humor, and I have learned so much more about what to listen for not just in other voices, but in my own. This is absolutely the right lane for you. I’m sorry for the difficulty of what you’re going through, and you have my empathy for that process. Even if it’s only a video a week, glad you’re sticking around and keeping at it. You make this world better every moment and every day.

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.)

Mercedes was best in her run in the Troubletones. "I Will Survive/Survivor" "Adele medly" and "Candyman"

Amber Riley can literally sing anything she’s really the best singer in this show! And she has quite the memorable performances like Ain’t I’m telling you! Ain’t no way! I will always love you! All I want for Christmas! I wanna know what love is! And so amazing duets with naya. ❤

Great analysis and instruction. You’ve got an amazing voice and i love hearing you use it to demonstrate techniques.

I feel like they probably told Amber to sing it in more of an RnB style. She sang Defying Gravity recently and absolutely killed it

If you want to see more Kurt solos, you should definitely check out "Being alive", "I want to hold your hand" or "Rose's turn" Also, the second video you reacted to was sped up (I believe it's bc of the copyright thing), so if you want to hear them sing naturally, try choosing clips from other channels

If you want to see a real duel between Rachel and Kurt, look at "bring him home". I love it

YES! Do a cover! I've got goosebumps already when you sang those little parts :)

Mercedes singing I'll Stand By You is perfect. And her high note on Somebody to Love is to die for lol

Rose's turn, 4 minutes and Being alive are some of my favourite Kurt songs for sure.

You should have done the one in the later seasons, they do this song again competing against each other and Kurt DOESN'T throw the note and there's less auto tune. Absolutely worth it

Yes! You should definitely do a cover if this song!

Sadly Kurt intentionally flubbing the first battle just fed into Rachel’s ego into insufferable levels (she even said she staked her entire backing on that one win)

Kurt's Roses Turn is a bangerrr, and also all his duets with blaine is so 💯

I just want to express how much I appreciate your expertise. I've seen a number of vocal coaches here on youtube but you're the one I constantly learn the most from. You explain the technique so clearly I can just feel it in my throat. Also I love your singing voice, it is like crystal.

I LOVE when you go into in-depth analysis mode 😍

Being Good Isn't Good Enough singing for Rachel its one of her most beautifuls covers, i just love it

Poker Face with Idina and Lea is just *chef’s kiss* so so good. So many chills!!!

Bust your Window for Mercedes was one of her always amazing performances

I like Kurt's "blackbird". For Rachel, my favourite is "Bring Good Isnt Good Enough" and "O Holy Night"

If you want a song Kurt really shines in you should listen to "Being Alive" season 4 episode 9. It's one of my favorite performances from him. There's also "I wanna hold your hand," which was a very emotional piece.

I need more people to love on Kurt singing "As If We Never Said Goodbye" so I'm gonna just keep suggesting it haha also just basically whenever anyone other than Rachel sings Broadway songs

I've watched like idk at least 30 of your vids and was super vibing with you but then you said you were an indoor cat and it took our vibe connection to the next level

If you want Kurt’s best performance, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND “Being Alive” and for Mercedes “And I’m telling you” and “Ain’t no way” Also, for an amazing Mercedes and Santana duet “River Deep, Mountain High”

Best performance by Mercedes is definitely "Ain't no way". Everytime I hear her singing that song, I get chills!!

Nobody: Me: Waiting with excitement for you to get to the end where Kristin Chenoweth (guest starring) says, “that song should be on the Broadway”.

She should listen to the complete song on Spotify… there are the majority of the glee preformed songs … I loved that song it’s one of my faves. But Kurt definitely knows how to hit the note, both of them so talented 🥺💖

If you want to hear more from Melissa Benoist who also played supergirl in the flash episode she was on glee from season 4-5 i believe and had many great songs. I recommend her cover of A Thousand Years who she duets on with another member of the glee cast. She sounds phenomenal

If you’re gonna watch a good Kurt performance watch “Not the boy next door” he slays it

Amber Riley (Mercedes) singing “And I’m telling You Am Not Going”! When they filmed that performance she sang it live on set and the cast reactions were their real reactions to her INCREDIBLE voice!!!

YESSSS! I'm excited for your Mercedes video!!! She kills it in any song she sings but my personal faves are Beautiful, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going

For Kurt, he has a lot of great songs where he's singing in his chest voice so it could just be this song, which happens to most singers. But the actor does record a solo version for both seasons 1 and 5 of the song. So that is a great place to check out his voice more with this song, especially since we don't hear a lot of him in the season 5 version. His improvement is fantastic and he was great to begin with.

Fun fact: He actually never had any singing lessons before he came to the set of glee. 😯 Kisses from Germany 💘

I would absolutely love to see a whole video on Kurt reactions! His version of Rose's Choice and I Wanna Hold Your Hand are amazing, among others!

WE NEED THE COVER🤩🤩🤩 you’re amazing

WE NEED YOUR COVER OF DEFYING GRAVITY!
