Fun fact: Chris (the actor) has never really had a professional vocal couch teach him before. Like breath control, high notes, etc. He once said in a radio interview that he doesn’t know what his official range is because he never got it tested. And he is in the top three in the entire show for range. Keep an ear out for Give Up The Funk, it’s really him.(and his versatility ain’t bad either.)

[@henrydumaop7864]

Plss react to IF I WERE A BOY from glee ❤️

[@ni4720]

Could you do Like a Prayer, or Loser Like Me, From Glee please.

[@felicitydrinkwater3375]

I recommend some Rachel and Finn duets - pretending /We’ve got tonight/ Faithfully or group ones loser like me/fly I believe I can fly or make you feel my love from when Finn died

[@battlegirldeb]

Of all the song from this episode I wish you would do "How Will I Know" as it was done acapella by Lea, Naya, Chris , and Amber. (Rachel, Santana, Kurt, and Mercedes).

[@mone21121]

2nd this! One of my favorites from the entire series

[@matheusmeneses9759]

YES!

[@chantalsoto7696]

YESS

[@shay1816]

Been asking this for so long now!!!!

[@Leighanne37]

Done accapella

[@matheusmeneses9759]

Another great song sung by him is "Roses's Turn"

[@yriverspelle]

Kurt didnt get as much love as I felt he deserved. He has such a gorgeous tone

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

He is soooo talented!

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

And is adorable af

[@RingsLoreMaster]

Maybe you didn't get the recognition he deserved for singing He and Michelle year in & year out were recipients for the Best lead actress and lead actor in a vote by young adults. And Colfer was the only new actor on Glee, to receive an Emmy.

[@isabellac4901]

SO EXCITED FOR A KURT SOLO YESSSS (they made him do it in the original key though so it's definitely not his strongest solo, but it's so impressive that he was even able to do it!!) Edit: if you want to hear more of his chest voice/lower register, you should listen to Not The Boy Next Door or Being Alive!! Those are easily his two best solos!!

[@kellyb427]

Also, I sort of love the way he sings I'm Still Here

[@isabellac4901]

@@kellyb427 SAME it's soooo underrated, I hate that it was his last solo of the whole show😭😭

[@slodent]

I thought he did a really nice job with Bring him Home - Les Mis, as well

[@isabellac4901]

@@slodent omg yes, I really wanted to hear his last note and I was so angry when they gave it to Rachel!! So thank god for his solo version existing, that's the one I keep saved!!

[@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos]

Actually they didn't make him do it in the higher key, Chris himself asked to do it in that key. They originally wanted to bring the key down a couple notes but Chris asked to do it in the original key and they let him and he did it beautifully.

[@hazking7505]

what i love most about this cover is that its done in the orginal key and thats just so impressive to me that Chris can sing so high. Like its not his best solo on the show but it is amazing!

[@swiftievich]

it’s so impressive that he can even reach that original key 🥺

[@RebelHart9]

Chris Colfer has such an interesting singing voice. He has such a high pitched voice that typically primarily women can reach comfortably but he’s also able to reach lower more “masculine” sounding notes. It really is a great combination.

[@elizabethsommerer2164]

He's what's known in music circles as a countertenor. So he has the typical range of a standard tenor, but can reach into soprano territory. And he has no formal training like Amber did. Love his voice!!

[@hazking7505]

if you want to hear Chris Colfer sing more you need to listen to him sing 'being alive' or 'defying gravity' (but the version of only him singing it and hitting the high note at the end).

[@annetedrick5793]

A true counter tenor. Often tasked with providing depth to numbers because of his range. Low - opening Give Up the Funk, carries the Accents to Bad Romance, Look at As If We Never Said Goodbye, Being Alive, Happy Days (duet) Le Hit Jazz (especially for the legato), Chris was often singing against the strongest voices (Amber Riley, Lea Michele, Naya Reverie and paired with Darren Criss. Exceptional for a guy voice teachers refused to train because his voice didn’t “change”. Excellent actor and writer.

[@Peshkwe]

If you love Kurt/Chris's voice you really should react to his version of "Le Jazz Hot!" (originally performed by Julie Andrews in Victor Victoria) from the Duets episode. His glissando is sooo good!

[@ajwillustratorauthor]

I wish he was still singing. He writes children’s books now.

[@annatimberlake7]

He's doing very good with that.i am happy that he is happy

[@au_barb]

And he's killin' it as a children's author! 👏🏻

[@garnett2350]

He has a true counter tenor voice a unique one and despite some songs don't fit him he is able to embody the emotions of the songs he sings, every song he sang in the show had that emotional feeling

[@Theatergeek1999]

If you’re looking for more Kurt (Chris) solos, might I recommend “The Boy Next Door”

[@kellyb427]

One of my fave Kurt performances is I Want To Hold Your Hand and As If We Never Said Goodbye. Like chills everytime. being Alive is my number one though

[@sebabalozweni617]

A true Countertenor💯❤️

[@TroubleD123abc]

Love this! He is amazing. If you really want to see one of Chris' performances that will bring you to tears I love "I want to hold your hand." So freaking beautiful!

[@selmajabr3514]

Yay! A Kurt song! It’s not my first choice but I still love it and am very excited. I know some people don’t like his rendition of it, but to me it’s in my top 5 solos and 6 or 7 for how he sounds. Plus I’m excited to see a professional opinion on it. Chris never really had a professional couch teach him so for him to still hit the notes and sound as good as he does, in the song’s original key, is still very impressive. Also when you consider how hard of a song it is to sing.

[@lunai.6798]

yes a kurt solo! im so excited

[@altamashmumtaz4074]

I have chills EVERYTIME he sings!!!!

[@swiftievich]

if you loved this solo you’re definitely going to love all his others ❤️❤️

[@kristin830]

I always get chills when I watch this its so perfect

[@marcellamarinhovicentini2021]

To complete this… I recommend Blaine’s version of “It’s not right”... The same episode... But happens earlier than that performance!!!

[@RomySews]

Hey Audrey! Chris colfer just did a live performance of Pure Imagination (which he also covered on Glee) but he sang it in his lower register. I’d love to hear what you think of his voice now and maybe talk about how it’s changed as he’s got older. It’s on KZbin 😊

[@filmfangirls9163]

I love this solo. Its so amazing and one of my favorite Kurt songs.

[@beccagregory3586]

This has to be my favorite song of Kurt's its so beautiful and sung with so much passion!

[@deboramiranda8362]

I love Kurt's solos. Keep reacting to them and the group songs too, I love Glee so much.

[@pau.cortesss]

yesss a kurt solo!! you should also react to rose’s turn

[@Moonuska93]

Cool, you've done reaction to Kurt's song. 👌🏻 It's not my first favourite, but I still like it and it's still amazing because he sang this in the original key. He said that this was the hardest song to do because that original key, it's amazing and impressive how he can still hit the notes even it's so high. But he has done more other good song too. ❤️

[@jasonmadx]

Hearing someone give Kurt (Chris Colfer) his due credit is amazing! He rocks whenever he can. Undeserved voice just like Quinn's (Dianna Agron). Amazin videos! 💙

[@TaLisaLovesDaveDay98]

This is one of my favorites of his performances. It suits his voice so well

[@eduardoresendiz6161]

This is why I said I love hearing Chris Colfer sing I have nothing

[@SimsinWonderland]

You gotta hear him sing Blackbird.

[@GeekGirlJenn]

I still can’t believe Chris was able to do this in the original key

[@Constantlystealing]

it's sad that Chris doesn't sing or even act much at all anymore... I know that he's got like 12 NYT best sellers under his belt as a writer, but he's such a gifted performer...

[@steven3814]

This actually made me feel a lot better.

[@lainightwalker5495]

i love how he sings it changed the meaning of the song so much for me.

[@elizabethmarie8069]

Lol been waiting for a Kurt song but this is not my top pick. Don’t judge him too harshly. They made him do this in the original arrangement when they should’ve taken the key down. Edit: so glad you liked it! People were really harsh when this originally came out. One of my favorite things about Chris is even if it’s not vocally the strongest, he really sells his performances and makes you feel it. It’s a shame he doesn’t like singing live as much anymore.

[@SimsinWonderland]

Don't worry I think she adored him :)

[@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos]

they didn't make him do this in the original key, Chris himself asked to do it in this key. Ryan Murphy had wanted the key lowered but Chris asked that it be kept to the original key so they let him do it and he killed it!

[@elizabethmarie8069]

@@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos do you have a source for that? One that is not just gossip. Every interview I’ve seen or read from Chris, he said that he was terrified to do it in the original key. And then finally, in season 4 Chris started asking them to let him sing in his lower register for some songs.

[@masonguthrie1257]

I don’t know I always thought that Chris was one of the top singers just because of all of his songs he has had to do for the show

[@elizabethmarie8069]

@@masonguthrie1257 oh yes I agree. I just meant if a particular song wasn’t his strongest vocally. I feel like everyone on the cast other than maybe amber has songs that weren’t necessarily the best fit for them.

[@VIDEL1212]

I was so happy you did this! Probably favorite Kurt solo! Fabulous!

[@natasha7760]

God I love Kurt but definitely not his strongest. Being Alive, Rose's Turn, As if We Never Said Goodbye and Boy Next Door are absolutely incredible

[@suebob16]

Rose's Turn is my request for the next Kurt solo. Be sure to find a clip that shows him beginning the song in the school hallway. It shows Kurt's frustration and sadness, feeling that his father doesn't understand or accept him. As If We Never Said Goodbye is my 2nd Kurt request. A more confident Kurt returns to his old school after spending the previous season at a private school. He expresses his joy at returning to his old classmates through this song.

[@reneebrichta2937]

He did a phenomenal job on this song!

[@oxanatarashchuk4598]

I love this song 💖 I heard an original from Whitney Houston and must say - this guy did great 👍👏 Never watched this show but this man is super-talented 👍👏

[@annatimberlake7]

Thank you for appreciating. This solo gets so much of hate in the fandom

[@mathildelr3996]

If you wanna see him live, he has a performance in the Glee 3D live movie. I really recommend watching that, because then you get to hear all the voices live.

[@mlandon323]

Personally, I think the best songs for Chris’s vocal range that he’s done are Rose’s Turn, Being Alive, and Not the Boy Next Door. Those just seems more comfortable for him

[@roseyp7047]

Okay, I’m officially obsessed with you lol I love how you really feel the music and those notes in your soul. I’ve always had such a deep connection to music, I can feel it with every fiber of my being and I’ve always day dreamed about how cathartic it must be to be able to just belt out a song like that. I absolutely can’t sing ( if I could have any gift in the world, it would that) but I swear I was a singer in a past life.

[@paulawalsh4979]

Thanks so much for doing this! Kurt is my favourite character and I love everything he sings!

[@fruitysoupy]

It's such a pleasent surprise to see someone not cast his talent aside right away because it's unconventional 💖 I absolutely love his voice! Some of my favorite songs he sang on the show (in no particular order) are Being Alive, I Am The Greatest Star, Blackbird, and (of course) Not The Boy Next Door I'd love to hear your thoughts on those songs sometime ✨

[@terrischu3944]

So many solo songs that Chris sang as Kurt were so fenominal, he is by far my favorite Glee actor and singer. It would be awesome if you could do this with more of his solos, and Darren's solos as well. Love you so much, I watch these videos over and over. I wish I could sing better than I do.

[@alyxandralin6964]

No one forces Chris to sing in the original key, Chris is the one want to do it in the original key. Glee's vocal producer Alex Anders already answered this question in 2012/4/27. You can check his twitter account.

[@marinkanat]

You should react to "It's Not Right But It's Ok" that Blaine sang in the same episode as this song. Blaine talks for a second before he starts singing and that might partilly epxplain what is going on. Not the full story but enough for it to make sense for the songs.

I'm so glad you did and that you were so enthusiastic about it :) Hope you react to "As if we never said goodbye", too.

2:10 Yes! They’re together but Kurt had been texting someone and Blaine was hurt because Kurt didn’t see that it was flirtatious. This was him working on making it up to him.

[@jonathont7866]

this song was very famously (at least here in Australia) performed by 14 year old Jack Vidgen in his 2011 Australia's got talent audition (he went on to win) It would be great if you'd react to that and maybe also his other performances.

You need to do I will always love you. And also listen to defying gravity Live to hear Chris

[@celesteleal1867]

Can I just say how much it hurts me that everyone loves and acknowledges Chris's great vocal talent upon hearing him, but that he doesn't like his voice or singing and even wants him to change because he supposedly wasn't canonically "male"? (besides his stage fright,ofc) If I could go back in time and remove the trauma from him, I would because I need Chris's voice to live.🥺

His name is Chris Colfer and if you are unaware of how he got the part of Kurt, on Glee, check out Wikipedia. It is a heartwarming story. In interviews Colfer related that dancing and acting were always much easier for him than singing. Yet in my humble opinion there is only one male singer who can compare to him - The immortal Bing Crosby
