I love that their second duel ("Diva Off") showcased a male ballad. I feel like, throughout the show, Kurt was always trying hard to sing with the girls because he didn't fit in with the guys, which set him up to fail. While he IS a countertenor, his vocal strength definitely wasn't suited to a female Broadway belter like Defying Gravity. Having him win with a male ballad seemed like the perfect conclusion to his confidence issues. As a rather effeminate gay man myself, it felt like I was watching Kurt be rewarded for embracing himself as he is, rather than what stereotypes dictated he "should" be. ❤️

What I love about this performance is that you can see the evolution of the character. Rachel has always been huge on the facial expression, the movement of the head, the had rising which, at times, can help bring emotion to a theatrical performance. Kurt was the same at the beginning but his time with the Warblers taught him to let his voice do the work. Some times, less is so much more.

@@lostblueboy how? He always, every single song, no matter how young or old he was, sang in a thin and unsupported falsetto and could do nothing else, while Defying Gravity and many other songs he sang required a powerful belt that he never possessed. None of this is my opinion, it’s literally facts, anyone with a passing education in the human voice could identify it. That doesn’t mean you or anyone else can’t enjoy listening to him sing those songs, that’s the subjective part.

Bella Swan mmmm makes me mad when people say this. Rachel is belting and keeping a g flat, an extremely hard note to hold, for one performance is impressive. Both times Kurt used a falsetto while Rachel was belting, something much harder to do. Rachel won both times. Don’t say Kurt won just because you don’t like Rachel, even though she’s the only one in the glee club that cared enough to be a star.🤦🏼♂️

Actually it is about the technique here, hon. If she can belt the whole song while staying on key, on pitch, and manage to sound smooth, she’s beating him by a thousand points, of which she did in both diva offs. Kurt is my favorite character, but as a singer, Rachel’s part was better.
