GLEE - Rachel VS Santana - Don't Rain On My Parade (Reaction)

[@oliviarivera3680]

Rachel’s version is true to the original and santanas is a pop version in a lower key. Very very different. Can’t even compare. Both amazing

[@E_btsot798]

I didn't realize santana's version was a lower key but i did notice the true version (broadway version vs the pop version)

[@michaelmcdonnell6611]

I get what you're saying. And while I agree, we can't compare, I will say I prefer Naya's version. I liked the pop qualities.

[@asiastraineddogwillleaveyou]

Santana's version was in lower key at the start but the key changed after at the chorus

[@Rambaldichick]

This was my request! Thanks so much. My girl crush on Santana skyrocketed during this performance. Rachel shines with anything Broadway. Santana's version was more pop, which works for her. (Rachel was cast in her first role on Broadway and they were auditioning for her understudy. There's always friction between them and this was Santana throwing shade.)

[@joshuacoldwater]

I know the writing team of this episode, we’ve been friends for years. When they had a meeting with Naya and presented a completely different track for her to sing- SHE suggested that this track would not only get under Rachel’s skin but under Lea’s as well. They took some time before deciding to move forward with the scene. Lea found out just that morning what she would be performing- Naya’s shade was genuine and I’m here for it.

[@avalonlperry]

Rachel has so many incredible performances! Some of my favorite solos she’s done that I would recommend are My Man, Papa, Can You Hear Me?, To Love You More, Being Good Isn’t Good Enough, O Holy Night, an Roots Before Branches. Lea is also starring in Funny Girl on Broadway right now and there are lots of live performances of her singing Don’t Rain On My Parade, you can really hear the difference between her singing it as Rachel, and her singing it as herself play Fanny.

Santana ❤

[@ronsadventures2007]

“ I don’t know how Rachael would do it now” she’s killing it on Broadway 8 times a week

[@gustavomarquesribeiro8188]

Santana 👑👑

[@Nebulametal]

I wish santanna had more songs that show her voice

[@Caprizonica]

I think she always shows her voice. She's the most versatile of them all. I think you mean show off in belting songs and she's not that type of singer eventho she can do it.

[@samaravitoria6241]

Have you ever watched the show?

[@brandonaston301]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but in the previous episode the Glee club did a Mattress commercial to pay for a wheelchair accessible bus for Artie to sectionals and received a stack of mattresses. Thus they were banned from performing at Sectionals. However Will slept on one of them the night before in the choir room and so he instead was banned from attending sectionals so they could partake still.

[@feliciabianco3287]

Rachel owns this song. And Lea is even better now. Since she became Funny Girl in Broadway.

[@torreyskidd]

so Santana was auditioning for Rachel’s understudy (Rachel already had the lead role) loooolll there was a whole load of Santana/Rachel drama in the show!

[@ALLMyHope]

I think Lea has a stellar broadway voice. Naya made it more popish and soulful, and she excelled at that. They’re both amazing in their own way. I think it just comes down to which style a person prefers.

[@MDHOKIE76]

Lea’s present day “Funny girl” versions are much better than this version. Saw her live on Broadway and she kills it.

[@ronsadventures2007]

She should have been in this all along they miscast the role with beanie at first

[@Caprizonica]

This was one song in the first competition they had in season 1 if I'm not mistaken and Mr Schue couldn't be there and she had to improvise a song "on the fly" because their songs were stolen by other competitors and in the show this was supposed to be her moment to show her talents. Santana's version was on season 5 in an episode called Frenemies, so I think that's enough of an explanation. You're one of the first reactors to notice the parallel on both performances, staging /walk. Both are amazing scenes even when I'm not a fan of theater songs and well, I'm also biased towards Santana. Santana and Racel have a few duets along the series like So emotional, We found love, Brave, Every breath you take, Gloria, ....

[@catixporterinks9343]

basically Santana wasn't into broadway until Rachel got the first role into a big broadway show and started to get big headed bc of it. Santana became a bit jealous of Rachel actually doing something of her life/career when she didn't.. she decided to humble her (i guess you could say it like that?) and decided to auditioned to be her understudy, by doing this song, with the same intro and mimics, bc this is kind of Rachel's song throughout the show... the sad part is that at this point they were kinda friends and it ruined their relationship.. but i guess it showed that even with becoming a star, Rachel still had the same insecurities she had in high school. and that despite Santana becoming friend with Rachel, she still had that same defense mechanism of being mean everytime she feels insecure/threatened.. it really showed the worst part of them both, and that they didn't grow up one bit since they left high school hahaha lots of jealousy and drama between the two over the show... i personally adore Rachel' version. And even if i love Santana's voice and that big note at the end was crazy, i can't stand her pop version of the song.. it fits better with her voice and personality, but i can't stand that arrangement lol. Naya did good with the version they gave her tho, but i rather hear any other of her solos tbh

[@Caprizonica]

Santana wasn't jealous neither she tried to humble Rachel. Nothng of that was shown on that epsiode. There was no explanation at all on why she sang the same song. Girl you're really trippin and wrting a fanfiction here. Whatever you're saying is pure making up stuff. Jimmy isn't even watching the show. Santana just went to an open audition because she knows she could do anything, like being a dancer, singing country, jazz or Broadway or whatever, and that's it. She tried and she got the part because she's insanely good, and the only one that could rival Rachel because she's capable of anything. Girl you're really trippin and wrting a fanfiction here. Whatever you're saying is pure making up stuff. There was no explanation at all on why she sang the same song because Glee doesn't give explanations about anything wacky happening around and let fans fll in the blanks, which clearly, you're doing here. Jimmy isn't even watching the show and you're going off.

[@jadenleigh98]

The glee club was in a commercial which they sang “jump” and got free mattress’s and it was against the glee club rules and Mr.Shue slept on one so he wasn’t allowed to be at the competition with his team

[@battlegirldeb]

If you want to know how Rachel or Lea Michele sing this song now there are a lot of versions of her singing this song as she is in the musical "Funny Girl" on Broadway right now. It's the same show Rachel was in on Glee in the 5th season. Santana was auditioning to be her understudy.

[@cassiegleek1656]

You should check out them singing "Gloria" with Adam Lambert from season five. I preferred Santana, but that's me, I like a more soulful sound.

[@johnthegreek5836]

We all have our favorites and Rachel will always be mine, look at Rachel’s performance, Season 1 and Santana on Seasons Five,, look at their ages from both of these seasons, Santana definitely nailed her performance and actually changed it a little where Rachel did true to Barbra Streisand! I still think Rachel has the best voice

[@Caprizonica]

The age has nothing to do, plus Lea is older than Naya, but she had been singing theater songs for years and Naya didn't really have professional background on singing until Glee, not to mention Theater wasn't even her style. Rachel performance had people's hyping and applauding and the visual support of the rest of cast which naturally causes a hype on the viewer while Santana had an empty theater and Rachel disapproving and pouty faces only. It's more difficul to hype the song with those detrimental aspects but she took it as a challenge.

I loooove naya's version. But you mention it seemed like Rachel berry was waiting her whole life for that moment? SHE WAS. And as much as i love Santana’s version, that inspo was ALL Rachel berry insufferable ass.

[@avaa942]

Santana Ate.

[@lexlarae8466]

I love Santanas arrangement better.

[@JennLeigh91]

It’s hard to compare them because there two totally different versions.

[@suz2590]

Will never like Santana's arrangement, plus it is slower and a bit lower. But your point of season one to season 5 is an important one.

[@Akasha83]

I love Santana's voice and Rachel is annoying but Rachel killed that. You should review Mercedes & Kurt "I Am Changing" it is AWESOME
