Born to Run - Jimmy Fallon, Glee Cast, Tina Fey - 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards Opening Sketch

[@lavane26]

this is possibly the best emmys opening ever, and you can't convince me otherwise.

[@MyRedPony1]

Take the "possibly" out of your comment. This is without a doubt the best Emmy opening ever. Oh, but Kate G is in it, so maybe "possibly" should stay in...

[@lavane26]

hahaha, yeah, she was good, tho.

[@jomontanee]

So true. Even in year 2018 this is by far the best opening ever of all awards show so far.

Let’s talk about Amber Riley’s high notes that made the live performance worth it!

[@TroublingTrinny]

that moment when you remember Amber Reilly was rejected on American Idol and got to sing right in Randy Jacksons face.

[@nadjawmiller]

She didn't make it to the "TV jury", the producers already said no, so she didn't sing in front of him

[@christianacarusone2905]

[@Jayforeman3047]

Imagine how powerful they all felt walking down that corridor when they started singing.

[@SaintD382]

They probably had to do all of these shots and dance moves over and over, many times, to get it all perfect; so the look of "power" we're seeing on their faces is skillful acting. That's what's so admirable about these world-class entertainers: they make you forget how much hard work and rehearsal they put into it behind the scenes, allowing you to just bask in the magic of the final product.

[@fits9897]

i love seeing Nina with the glee kids, idols

[@christiankrenek7689]

For the curious, the group, in order of appearance, is: -Jimmy Fallon (“The Tonight Show”) -Corey Monteith, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley (“Glee”) -Tina Fey (“SNL,” “30 Rock”) -Kate Gosslein (“Jon and Kate Plus 8,” “Dancing with the Stars”) -Jon Hamm (“Mad Men”) -Betty White (“The Golden Girls,” “Hot in Cleveland”) -Jane Lynch (“Glee”) -Jorge Garcia (“Lost”) -Nina Dobrev (“The Vampire Diaries”) -Joel McHale (“Community,” “The Soup”) -Tim Gunn (“Project Runway”) -Randy Jackson (“American Idol”) Love a crossover!

He's actually an exceptional singer. The reason why he's so "hit-and-miss" on his live vocal delivery in this video is because he's trying to sing in Bruce Springsteen's voice (which he does fairly well considering his speaking voice).
