I feel like Mike's entire character was built on the fact that he couldn't sing and the only reason he was in glee was bc he could dance but honestly the few times you heard him sing he was pretty good
I don't think so? He wasn't a good singer and he was mostly a dancer, but he was in a relationship with Tina, he had an episode focusing on him and the pressures from his dad - I feel like he was defined as a dancer in the same way Rachel was defined as a good singer and future broadway star. They both had other aspects, but at the end of the day they were a singer/dancer.
Katie Mon Mike may not have the strongest voice among the male members of the glee club but I think that his singing voice is pretty nice to listen and he should’ve gotten part in group singing.
I love the symbolism at the end where we see Santana and Karovsky. She’s halfway out of the closet, wearing her shirt but not dancing with the others while he’s not even close, zipped up and with his arms crossed over his chest.
I love how Santana is trying to accept it but she put ‘Lebanese’ instead of lesbian. It’s a perfect example of how even tho she’s trying to be okay with herself, she still feels so much shame that she can’t even outwardly admit it. I loved her character development and that she got to finally be herself with Brit so much 💛
I think it's because it almost looks like a dance move so people who don't know ASL would just think that it's another dance move like any other. It's kind of a bilingual bonus for those who know ASL
@@darielzahidpalacios1605 I think he did accept himself. Like others in his situation, maybe he was just trying to save himself the pain that would come with fully coming out. Being bullied by kids at your school that you barely know puts a lot of pressure on you. You tend to think the same or worse will happen when you come out to the people truly close to you
But I actually like his singing voice XD. He may doesn't have control on it and a small range, but it's strong. And he could be considered a countertenor on the lower range. Anyway sorry rambling, got carried away.
Watching this being 16 years old back in the day, Naya captured through Santana exactly how I felt about myself at that time. The fear of accepting that I was different and the repercussions it would have on my life. She made me understand that it was okay to be myself, and doing so I'd have the support of my friends and family. And it was exactly that way. I can't believe that Naya is no longer with us as I'm writing this. You will forever be a force larger than life and a bright light inside out hearts. Your legacy will live forever. Rest in peace Naya. ❤️
You're lucky you had Naya, but us asexuals had nothing. The writers probably didn't even know asexuality existed at the time, since it was still seen as a medical disorder until 2013.
@@pandahtoemateo3321 True, tv shows are a product of their time, and Glee was very cool because through all the jokes and exagerated drama, the representation of diversity that at the time was just begining to be accepted in mainstream was outstanding. I may have outgrown Glee by its 5th season, but I really learned a lot from the series. Now I do wish to watch asexuality being represented in mainstream series, and not only that, but the spectrum of aromaticism too. Wish there were more tv shows with demis to also make people realize what that actually means. Sending love to you!
@@beautifly92 you're right, I'm young and I remember a time where it was considered taboo to portray positive lgbt characters. As times change, hopefully there's more representation.
I loved santana so much. She struggled a lot with her identity and you can see it here and her journey to acceptance was powerful and real. This show in the beginning was so important to me in my adolescence. RIP Naya ♥️
Glee has really changed my life... Santanna most...she has taught me to be brave, and strong, no matter what they say including my own family, Kurt a lot too...he has taught to fight for what I think and believe...like all of them...now, each time some one critics me for who I am...what I like and how I dress...I think about Puck...they're just scared of their future and they just want to feel sure and better with themselves, they want to believe that they're better than us...I compared them..I think about the song Loser Like Me...I love that song and one day, in front of the school...I dedicate to these girls the song, and told them that no matter what they say...I'm who I am...and nothing and nobody is never going not change how I am and they ways I think. GLEE HAS TAUGHT ME TO BE BETTER AND TO FEEL SURE AND COMFORTABLE WITH MYSELF, it is the only way to live a peaceful and controlled life and like the others.
when this episode came out when i was in hs, my musical theatre class all decided to make t-shirts like this and wear them to school and it was such a beautiful day of solidarity and loving who we are. it was really special
Thank you Lady Gaga for such a spectacular song for all kids in high school! Kids have to go through so much these days and it is songs such as this that give them HOPE that things will get better! I still play this song in my high school classroom today in 2023 when the kids get bummed about things. I put on TH-cam and we have "Glee Time." The kids STILL love it and dance all over my classroom. Brings tears to my eyes!
It’s a sad moment for Santana I forget his name represents how everyone else is OK with expressing themselves with who they are and rather hide in the dark while being ashamed of who they are themselves...
He’s really not. Don’t get me wrong, glee was revolutionary at the time for its representation of gay characters, but it’s not actually that great representation, especially considering the queer characters in tv and movies now.
@@wesanderson420 he was tho. Did he fit the flamboyant gay stereotype? Yeah, but that doesn’t take away how revolutionary and impactful he was. Fitting the stereotype doesn’t automatically mean bad representation.
@@alondraa.3522 again, i completely agree that kurt was groundbreaking representation. it was revolutionary to have a gay character play a significant role in a mainstream tv show. however, in terms of quality, kurt falls far short of his successors. the problem isn’t that he fits a stereotype, it’s that his character lacks much nuance outside of this. there isn’t much to say about his character outside of his gayness. he also feeds into more definitively negative gay tropes, namely his pursuit of finn in season 1 perpetuating the idea that gay men are predators out to seduce straight men, and his persistent role as “gay best friend”. once again, i do not mean to undermine the significance of his representation. glee really made great strides in terms of representing queer people on screen. perhaps the original commenter was referring to his impact rather than the character himself. i just thought it necessary to point out that kurt doesn’t really serve as a good representative of real queer people, and that there are many better examples of well written, nuanced queer characters in more recent works. though, i think it’s fair to say, they might not have existed without kurt’s influence.
I love him so much because he feels like a real person, and he adds a lot of heart and humor to the show. That's why I consider his character to be a wonderful representation for LGBTQ+ people.
@@ellieragsdale4398 i didn't intend to undermine the significance of his character in the landscape of queer representation, nor his personal significance to the viewers. he was one of the first openly gay "lead" characters I ever saw in tv and i know this is true for many people. i just think it is misleading to characterize him as "one of the best representations of the lgbt community " as there are many more nuanced and accurate examples of queer characters in modern media, no small part in thanks to the groundwork glee laid. he is certainly a very important and beloved queer character, but saying he is genuinely one of the best examples of representation is a stretch.
I love how serious Brittany and Kurt look! It's so funny. Everyone else is grinning and having fun with it and then you look at Brittany and Kurt and they're so serious! It's like if they smile or anything the whole thing is ruined! I love it!
Mines are Kurt, Santana , Rachel and Brit I hate Blaine and it makes me sad to not liking him because he's the love interest of Kurt but he was so annoying (but I liked him in season 2 he was a real prince charming )
if I were to pick one song to try and sell a potential new fan of the show on, it would be this one. The messaging and the subtext of Karofsky crossing his arms with a sweater on at the end.
this was great but i'll never forgive them for leaving out the "no matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life" part of the song (at this point glee wasn't as gay as it became later, maybe they were trying to keep it down but anyways)
why? this whole song is basically about it anyways. and this was the end of season 2 where kurt, santana, brittany and karofsky were gay. what do you mean werent as gay? the whole karofsky and kurt storyline was happening by now
Kurt - likes boys Mercedes - no weave Tina - Brown Eyes Quinn - Lucy Cabosey Finn - can't dance Rachel - nose Sam - Trouty Mouth Brittany - I'm with stupid ^ Puck - I'm with stupid V Shue - butt chin Emma - OCD Chang - can't sing Sanatana - Lebanese (other chick, can't remember her name for the life of me) - bad attitude
I wasn't expecting to dsee so many comments about Magnus/Malec and I've been a Gleek for years and a TMI fan for years and I started fangirling over the Mike/Magnus comments SoMeoNE sENd heLp
@jesus is a biscuit honestly with a lot songs on Glee, the only sing part of the songs due to time but really the only times they sang the songs fully were competition for songs. Which I find weird because they cut out good parts of a song.
+emily44775aj yeah i dont know if its because he is gay or something because he is a little feminine (it's a plus) but wtv he so in it really having fun and enjoying that look really for him
Artie: Four Eyes Quinn: Lucy Caboosey (She was fat when she was younger, and that made her self-conscious) Puck: I'm with Stupid [with a downward arrow] (He WAS a womanizer) Brittany: I'm with Stoopid (She thought she wasn't smart) Santana(in seats): Lebanese (Supposed to be "lesbian" but Brittany misspelled it) Finn: Can't Dance Rachel: Nose Tina: Brown Eyes (She usually wore colored contact lenses) Mike: Can't Sing (I call bullshit, because he sang "Scream" quite beautifully, even if it was a dream sequence) Lauren: Bad Attitude Kurt: Likes Boys Mercedes: No Weave! (She DIDN'T use or wear fake hair, not the case in Season 5) Sam: Trouty Mouth (He has lips like a fish) Mr. Schue: Butt Chin Emma: OCD (She has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) I hope I broke it down well, guys
+NatexNLipstick Addict, You broke it down great and I L-O-V-E this song,but I have to admit the best t-shirt for me is Quinn's. I have a little bit of weight complex too.😞

Wish everyone could wear T-shirts like this.... cuz then you'd see that NOBODY is perfect.... everyone has a flaw..... mine would say "Aspergers Syndrome" cuz it's a part of who I am.... can't change me, you try and you end up with one very dull girl... with no love of life or have the creativity I was born with
I feel like Mike's entire character was built on the fact that he couldn't sing and the only reason he was in glee was bc he could dance but honestly the few times you heard him sing he was pretty good
yes! he really can sing and episode Assian F they show us he can sing but after that He didn't sing much maybe 6 or 7 song entire series
And that his father wants him to be a doctor 👨⚕️

He totally OWNED this performance.
@@WhatSayCrochet ikr!!!

Numbers like this is what I miss about the show. Just not the same anymore.
I'm re-watching GLEE. What does changed?
season 5 mostly did not focus on the new directions they focused on the old new directions like Mercedes and other
1:50 Finn has to concentrate so hard on the dance moves, looks like he just moves his lips randomly to seem like he's singing haha
I've been scrolling for 15 minutes trying to find a comment that acknowledged Cory's unsynchronized singing/dancing. Still love him though❤️❤️
@@kristenernest3265 Poor baby just couldn't dance at all. But he was so precious.
i think it’s even worse that he’s next to heather as well as she’s a professional dancer
This has been an absolute power anthem for me accepting my recent autism spectrum diagnosis. I was born this way I’m proud to be neurodiverse!
I was recently diagnosed too :D
I think it's the best Kurt's performance. I love him!
Omg I love Kurt!!!!!!! Or Chris Colfer
can we talk about how under rated Tina is she has an amazing voice and is awesome shes so under rated
Kurt's perfect for Lady Gaga: He has so much attitude!
YEESSSSS!!!!!! KURT IS PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! HE'S BAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how much Kurt is into this
Ok but I absolutely love Kurt and the actor who plays him❤️❤️❤️
this was great but i'll never forgive them for leaving out the "no matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life" part of the song (at this point glee wasn't as gay as it became later, maybe they were trying to keep it down but anyways)
the song is shorter there. the studio version have that line :)
Just realized what part you're talking about and this shorter version does have it
The studio version does :) I just listened to it :D
Exactly, I was disappointed
why? this whole song is basically about it anyways. and this was the end of season 2 where kurt, santana, brittany and karofsky were gay. what do you mean werent as gay? the whole karofsky and kurt storyline was happening by now
Kurt is amazing 👏🏼
The beginning might be one of my favourite Kurt moments.
Kurt looks really handsome and cute here :)
I love kurt in this XD
I LOVE KURT IN EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

How is brown eyes a flaw
I wasn't expecting to dsee so many comments about Magnus/Malec and I've been a Gleek for years and a TMI fan for years and I started fangirling over the Mike/Magnus comments SoMeoNE sENd heLp
Leanna Jackson hey, I know the feeling.... I love Mike/Magnus.😍😍😍
I noticed that they skipped over “no matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian,transgender life”
Whyyyyyyy
Probably because it would have caused controversy due to some people being less accepting
It's on the studio version
Maria Losapio Just because they sing a song on the show does'nt mean that had to sing the entire song,dude.
@jesus is a biscuit honestly with a lot songs on Glee, the only sing part of the songs due to time but really the only times they sang the songs fully were competition for songs. Which I find weird because they cut out good parts of a song.
@@twentyonefalloutatthedisco7986 at least it’s in the studio version? So we can still find one of the best bits 😂
that guy playing kurt (sorry not well aware who is who) really rock
his name is chris colfer he's really awesome i agree c:
+emily44775aj yeah i dont know if its because he is gay or something because he is a little feminine (it's a plus) but wtv he so in it really having fun and enjoying that look really for him
Artie: Four Eyes
Quinn: Lucy Caboosey (She was fat when she was younger, and that made her self-conscious)
Puck: I'm with Stupid [with a downward arrow] (He WAS a womanizer)
Brittany: I'm with Stoopid (She thought she wasn't smart)
Santana(in seats): Lebanese (Supposed to be "lesbian" but Brittany misspelled it)
Finn: Can't Dance
Rachel: Nose
Tina: Brown Eyes (She usually wore colored contact lenses)
Mike: Can't Sing (I call bullshit, because he sang "Scream" quite beautifully, even if it was a dream sequence)
Lauren: Bad Attitude
Kurt: Likes Boys
Mercedes: No Weave! (She DIDN'T use or wear fake hair, not the case in Season 5)
Sam: Trouty Mouth (He has lips like a fish)
Mr. Schue: Butt Chin
Emma: OCD (She has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
I hope I broke it down well, guys
+NatexNLipstick Addict, You broke it down great and I L-O-V-E this song,but I have to admit the best t-shirt for me is Quinn's. I have a little bit of weight complex too.😞
Becca Tobin Fan Sorry, it's Latex, not Natex😮
Becca Tobin Fan
Thank you. This is EASILY my favorite performance from Season 2, this and Kurt's version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles.

They'll NEVER be another show as good as this ones, that taught us valuable lessons of life each and every week.
am I the only one asking what would Alec's reaction will be when he sees all Magnus's (Harry Shum Jr/Mike) performances?
kUUUURT
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up 'cause you were born this way, baby
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way (Born this way)
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Right track baby I was born this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be don't be don't be
Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
So we can rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe, yah
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Right track, baby I was born this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're Orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made

I was born to be brave
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes

Same D.N.A. but born this way
Same D.N.A. but born this way
I can't stop looking Kurt 😍😍
This is my absolute favorite performance.. Kurt did so well!!!
I love this song born this way
Because this is so powerful message about being yourself
And acceptance and
It is okay to be different
I wish Santana was in this with her shirt
Wish everyone could wear T-shirts like this.... cuz then you'd see that NOBODY is perfect.... everyone has a flaw..... mine would say "Aspergers Syndrome" cuz it's a part of who I am.... can't change me, you try and you end up with one very dull girl... with no love of life or have the creativity I was born with
Mine would say so.
Britt Dale I'd definitely wear the one that said I'm with stupid, and an arrow pointing down. :)
My would say weird or really short cause I'm shorter then all my friends.
Mine would say,"Likes Boys and Girls." Can't change even if I wanted to.
Mine would say Forgives Easily
When Tina and Mercedes revealed Kurt’s shirt his face was everything
Kurt is a percfect Lady Gaga :D !
Puck's T-Shirt x'D
WE KNOW THIS
Lool! Brittany's shirt was also "i'm with stupid.
One of my favorite glee performances ever
I can’t be the only one who loves Kurt’s look here.
Okay but can we talk about how hot Kurt is at 1:34
YES three years late but still stan Kurt
Kurt rocks
0:04 Kurt you're my frickin hero
Mike Chang can SING WORLD :D
I can't stop watching this version,it's very excellent.
I love it!
Kurt’s shirt omg my fav
Check out Magnus Bane dancing....
+Joana Oliveira Yes, his t-shirt says "can't sing"
