GLEE - I Know Where I've Been (Full Performance) HD

[@jazzsingereditz2017]

Unique and Mercedes has always been the most vocally talented actors in glee

[@jonathanjoeltorres6968]

I just wished they did a song together

[@ashleyroemer640]

Naya rivers , Lea Michelle, Darren criss

[@tadeponsmorat8126]

Don't let Lea Michelle see this or she'll hunt you down

[@astridovando8386]

Las mejores voces de las mujeres son Rachel Mercedes Unique y de hombres Blane y Jesse

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

@@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.

[@jorayner9350]

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.

[@ghettoandpretty8677]

Do you hear me they killed this yes Jesus very well said 💯

[@jazzy7559]

Right when I saw this and realized what was happening I cried. It’s amazing

[@kennytherobloxian5303]

This is amazing but I only cried in the quarterback tbh

[@katielemmon2581]

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.

[@gloommoon7227]

I don't know how but, I would have choked up during the middle to end

[@RyanWorthman]

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.

[@kev7161]

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.

[@gabryelalves8797]

Beautiful words.

[@jasonjohnson3589]

Well said.

[@joemattmurphy5753]

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

[@ianhimmelstein5915]

She*

[@flayremoon]

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.

[@lisarinehard6788]

She****

[@andiotrebac6583]

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

[@andiotrebac6583]

Unique is so talented at singing but such a one note of a character

[@ellentrascik2588]

This is by far the most powerful performance this show has ever done. Gives me chills each and every time I watch it.

[@LNEILL]

Unique deserved more! So did Coach Bieste! Both characters are amazing! And this is the best scene ever

[@mgfroyo]

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.

[@unorthodoxblackgirl8112]

Alex is such an amazing singer.

[@Christfollower06]

He’s legit one of the best singers

[@mariacherrington8825]

Wasn't Alex on the Glee Project?? My daughter n I watched that show n they had some good singers on it

I actually cried.. this scene hits so damn hard. Especially in the CURRENT TIMES we are living in. This is needed more than ever

[@enjoymacubingskills]

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.

[@atlaslife3800]

If you see the Boston gay men's choir's performance with Alex Newell, you will see the ultimate version of this song.

[@billysmith1480]

Atlas Life so true. That performance is transcendent. Absolutely stunning.

[@KKA868]

Totally true! He brought the house down!

[@jhei_jay]

Yes!!!

[@Friend2FriendnMA]

I much prefer this version. Everything is right with it.

[@bubblegum8959]

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

[@jamiewright1462]

[@billhall8625]

As a deaf gay man who has faced discrimination on many occasions this wonderful performance turned me into a sobbing wreck.

[@justanotherlawstudent17]

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

[@geoklkl]

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

[@gxnnes]

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.

[@cjinasia9266]

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.

[@spamvicious]

I hope everyone in that choir is happy and healthy and loved

[@haroldtia4608]

One of the best renditions ever! Period!!!

hands down the most emotional performance in the show, i get chills every time ❤️

The best version of this song by far

[@enceemas4277]

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. 💯 ❣️

[@coasterkraken6088]

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

[@aidanscott3895]

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!!!!!
