GLEE - Rise (Full Performance) (Official Music Video) HD

GLEE - Full Performance of Rise.
Originally performed by: New Directions (Original Song).
Sung by: New Directions.
Episode: 6x10 "The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester".

[@safraberries4962]

No one's mentioning how beautiful this choreography is. They spend the first half of the song divided into the New Directions and Warblers, sometimes crossing paths, but always staying with their group. Then, when they work together to accomplish something (helping each other put on the blazers) they finally mix up into one big group. Hardly anyone even mentions how symbolic all of the choreo always is, but there's almost always some kind of story being told on stage. Props to the choreographers of Glee!

[@blueberryara28]

The first time i watched this episode i cried bc of that, let me introduce myself, I'm Drama queen

[@jennaluhur]

They can never replace the original cast but this is one of my favourite performances. It's like their "Don't Stop Believing", a beginning of a new chapter

[@adhiezulfikar]

Jenna L. It's just like 'Some Night' performance for the 2nd batch new direction

[@LuisLemon]

I abre and what I like the most is that Darren wrote the song and with the new uniforms i think is amazing

[@ravenheart92845]

i agree but I think that they messed up by trying to keep up with the old cast instead of really focusing on the newer group.

[@07PaKKoo]

I think "Cool Kids" was their Don't stop beliving

[@edwinpoon]

This was the first ever original song for the combined group of ND and DAW, without the latter ND couldnt compete legitimately. It required ND to give up whatever grudge they had towards the DAW, and required DAW to discard their previous outfit. Out of ashes of their sacrifices, the New Warbling Directions arose.

[@diegoprodriguez]

Kitty looks happier in this iteration of New Directions then in her previous group.

[@raccoonsarecool899]

I think she’s happy glee is finally back 😊

[@eaglead2698]

I read that as one direction

[@YawnBlue]

The numbers problem wouldn't have been a thing if Sue didn't kick out the season 4 newbies. Just saying... :P

[@edwinpoon]

Well storywise she was happy the Glee club was back, she was their captain and her members do care about each other

[@geraldlejeune572]

I believe she was happy to get back the glee club she badly missed and was happy to be a huge part of restarting the New Direction

[@findme7585]

I actually really loved the new season six glee cast! They had so much potential and I wish we could’ve seen more of them.

[@Megz1794]

find me I think it’s because the show didn’t get renewed after season 6 other wise they probably would have did more seasons with the new characters from season 6

[@brycespeed_]

@@Megz1794 No, the show stopped getting renewed due to the declining ratings.

[@JessAnn26]

i just love seeing how happy kitty is up onstage

[@stephaniel2850]

This right here is why I NEED Darren to compose a full, proper Broadway musical!! He's talked a lot recently about it being something he's itching to do, so I'm hopeful it could actually happen at some point in the next few years, and I just can't wait... he's way too awesome a composer for it not to happen! :)

[@th3stripeddoll404]

Well, he already helped work on the starkid musicals

[@valentinanunez125]

Kitty looks so happy!

[@rancecyril1805]

Just an opininion: I really love Kitty. The way she come back at glee because she loves it and her pure soul. I don't hate her even on s4 and s5 but I love her more in s6 like that her character was become more mature. And so far, Kitty was my favorite on the newbies of s4-s6

[@6ve0tx2hbmogcz3]

Same i loved her

[@k_redhead]

The energy of this performance is amazing😍

[@taylors1974]

I love this song when glee wrote it's own music it was so powerful and meant something to me Darren did a great job with this song I love that Dalton and and McKinley joined together I loved them both so much I am glad they ended together greatest choir, but I miss the early seasons of glee nothing can beat those

[@aleanoukis]

It's really sad that this episode didn't focus on this storyline. And not on Sue's downfall !

[@castevilla8240]

Can we get a reboot with this group? Its always going to haunt me that we only got 12 episodes of them, they had the voices, the choreo, the visuals and better characters stories thant S4-5 combined

[@zhanxdaytoy]

Omg same here... I feel 4-5s shouldn't even be here, if only cast of s6 was after 3rd one then it still would be popular,so they didn't have to close the show... I still can't get over if them

I think Glee will always live within us. I couldn't believe that it ended four years ago... I grew up watching this and it kinda helped me when I had those "dark teenage moments". Whenever I re-watch my favourite episodes, I cry, and I cry hard. ♥ Although our theme song for Glee will always be Don't stop believing, I loved this song, it was the moment when the producers wanted us to realise that the New Direction will always find a way to live. Maybe not on the TV screen, but in our hearts, it will go on forever. ♥

[@rancecyril1805]

Did you notice that kitty and Skylar (the captain of the warbler) is the one who giving the coat to there team members. It really means that Kitty is the Captain of New Directions annd Skylar on Warblers but overall, Kitty is definitely the captain.

[@HickoryDickory86]

No, I miss all of _Glee_. Season 4 didn't do well because the show writers and runners devoted too much time and attention to the old cast (specifically Lea Michelle). They didn't give any genuinely good material to the new cast, and so the new cast couldn't grow into their roles and shine like the old cast was able to do over a three-year period. Even more, people expected the new cast to be in one year what it took the old cast three years to become! That was terribly unfair. And because the show writers didn't catch on to anything they were doing wrong (which was practically everything), they compounded the problem even more by making Season 5 all about the old cast, pushing the new cast to the sidelines completely. Then they just ended up scrapping them altogether and bringing in a new bunch for a few episodes to finish out the show in Season 6, but still focusing entirely on the old cast. It wasn't the cast that killed the show. It was (1) the writers who couldn't move past narcissist Rachel Berry and (2) the supposed Gleeks who refused to give the new cast the same time to grow on them that the old cast had.

[@jasonramirez6335]

HickoryDickory86 Can I share my opinion on this? I see where you're coming from, but disagree a bit. Glee had a real challenge ahead of it- in needed to follow the main characters of the series while still keeping focus on Mr. Shu and McKinley High/the "glee" club. It COULDN'T give up one for the other... it really wouldn't have made sense. I kept my hopes high throughout season 4, and even through season 5, for the "new" cast... What I believe happened is that it was hard to give the new guys the character development they deserved/needed WHILE maintaining storylines for the original cast... whom viewers/fans from the get-go NEEDED to keep seeing as well. Give them (the writers/producers) a little more credit, they really had a challenge ahead of them. It can't be easy to please everybody- they tried to give the fans a little bit of new with the old, and striking that perfect balance proved to be too much. What do you think...?

[@johnhedin6522]

For Season 6, they just cleared the bench and assembled the talent to blow us away vocally. A great song by Darren Criss.

[@MyFragranceTrail]

It’s 2023 and I just needed to hear this once again for my soul! I miss the gooo, exciting days of Glee! The world was perfect at that time. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@nathanhumphrey4643]

Their voices on this song are SO good!! This cast was genius. Amazing work from very talented people! Btw: im gonna mention it. Jane's high note.......OMG. Brilliant. Gorgeous. So much emotion in one note. One of my favorite performances of theirs. Although with this group, they were ALL top notch performances.

[@kathrynmezzina3664]

I'm shipping Kitty and Skylar so hard. They are literally shown together for like 3 seconds, but that's all it took. I saw so much chemistry, like did you see the way he was looking at her when she was putting on her coat at 1:16-1:17. OMG!!! If they had continued with this season, I think they might have set them up.

[@britneer9922]

I find it funny the season 6 warblers all have gelled hair 😂

I tell ya, it kills me a little that Darren didn't just write all of the original songs for the show- they would have been SO much better if he did!! haha. I get it, though- when they first started doing original songs in season 2 he was still a newbie so he didn't want to come in all "I write songs! can I write an original song!?" But yeah, I just much prefer his songwriting to the generic stuff we got for original songs up until season 6 when he started writing them xD (to give due credit, he wrote this particular one with a few of his other extremely talented friends :) )

Rise We are young we are the dreamers we will fly When the world will not believe us, We will rise above the ashes Before this whole life passes us by You and I, we will rise Ooooo, Oooo, Oh La la la la la La la la Oh we will... We will rise! Rise We are young we are the dreamers (We must!) we will fly When the world will not believe us, (Woah oh oh!) We will rise above the ashes Before this whole life passes us by You and I, we will Rise We will rise We will rise Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We will rise We will rise!
