Glee- Ranking Every Characters First Solo

[@MegTalksGlee]

6:30 is supposed to be Blaine 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is their first full solo. I have only included characters that got more than 1 therefore hence the exclusion of Mike, Elliot, Sheldon etc. I have included I want you back because otherwise Sebastian is ineligible. Skylar and Frida would also be here but their first solo is followed by their last seconds after and because there’s no distinction of time between the two they’ve been left off. I’ve already ranked their last solos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIa1dqesj7eYe9U

[@thegayone1911]

Next video can you rank 1970s songs? Because you did 1950s (and before) and 1960s so I think that would be great. If there aren’t too many there, they the 1980s. Could you please do that?

My top 10 would be: 1. Sunshine - Listen 2. Harmony - Anything You Can Do/Goes 3. Marley - Chasing Pavements 4. Jake - Never Say Never 5. Jane - Tightrope 6. Blaine - Teenage Dream 7. Unique - Boogie Shoes 8. Puck - Sweet Caroline 9. Quinn - Say A Little Prayer For You 10. Roderick - Mustang Sally

[@kacielynne5104]

the boogie shoes recognition is much appreciated!!

[@prince_chavv02]

Boogie Shoes getting #1 was SO satisfying. That solo is what got Alex solidified in the cast !

[@bethanylavallee3709]

I never realized that Samuel's character (Joe) never got a solo. I mean the runner up got one and his co-winner, like ?????

[@DexterousRobin]

Is Forget You not Holly's first solo? And isn't Maybe This Time not April's first solo? Also I think you forgot Hunter, Skyler, the McCarthy twins and Spencer.

[@donjavanamerongen]

maybe this time had Rachel in it if I remember right

[@quiter-op7yk]

Forget You was a group number with Mercedes and Artie, and Maybe This Time was a duet with Rachel

[@MegTalksGlee]

Hunter and the season 6 kids all only had 1 solo. Skylar had 2 but it’s explained in the pinned comment. These other comments are right about Holly and April

[@mxn4719]

Forget you was also sang by Mercedes, Artie and Santana. Maybe this time is a duet with Rachel

[@jinakaye]

The season 6 Glee kids (excluding Kitty) have some great numbers, but with Roderick being the focus of that group, he had the most solos.

[@mikeydowikey4140]

I’ve been watching the MCU so now all I can think of when I see Holly Holliday is Pepper Potts

[@CaribbeanCitizen]

I guess as long as it's an alliteration

[@coveredbyisa]

Can't believe Sam's shower solo beat Will's lol

[@guillemmartinez9958]

So I got some comments to make. 1. Quinn and Puck being the only OGs in the top 10 is quite something considering their songs are so awesomesauce. 2. Unique being number 1 is no surprise bc she is THE QUEEN. 3. Marley getting the recognition she deserves for her strong af vocals I love too. 4. I was quite surprised Holly was so low considering all her numbers are amazing. Gwyneth Paltrow has an amazing voice. 5. Also a bit surprised you didn't go for Viva Voce for Roderick even though it isn't a full song (just because I really love his version of Viva Voce even if it is incomplete), but still content bc Roderick is straight up talent. 6. I guess it makes sense you wouldn't include some of the later glee members because of the one solo thing, but Jane still had quite the numbers, and Tightrope is a banger. Idk I would have given her at least a spot on the list. That's it. PS: love your lists and how you keep Glee alive for all of us Glee fans. You are my savior

[@kingcarter7042]

Mercedes always shut it down when singing iconic singers songs for example Aretha or Whitney

[@jordangoodman3507]

Personally i think we disagree with what a first solo is but still can appreciate the hard work, good job

[@Blake-lc3rj]

Top 3: teenage dream, never say never & mustang sally. Close behind are boogie shoes, chasing pavements & sweet Caroline

I came online to get screen recordings of Blaine's solos for one of my videos I'm working on and ended up getting distracted by the new meg video. story of my life.

[@rachelranderson]

I know you did a "Songs that Should Have been Sung by Other Glee Characters", but I'd love to see a version that was more dedicated to songs that were more suited to others based on vocal talents, instead of plot/characterization reasons (like imo Lea just wasn't suited for Britney Spears at all, and Damien should have gotten a chance at a rock/pop jam instead of just a bunch of ballads)
