2x21 - Some People (HQ)
Sung by: Chris Colfer (Kurt)
OMFG!!!!
Now that I’ve had a chance to listen: beyond being an amazing vocal performance, I love this song choice for Kurt. One of the things that I love most about Kurt (and Rachel) is how ambitious they are. They have real goals and are driven to achieve them. As Chris has commented time and time again, that’s often something that is not appreciated by your peers, particularly not in high school. One of the things I was most worried about when they introduced a love interest for Kurt was that the romance would become his story, and we’d lose track of Kurt’s dreams and ambitions for himself. I’m glad that this hasn’t been the case in the past few episodes because Kurt’s (and Chris’) ambitions are a huge source of inspiration for me.
For people who feel implicated or insulted by the attitude expressed in the song, think of it this way: I don’t think Glee ever says that everyone needs to be Kurt and Rachel. But I do think Glee says that Kurt and Rachel need to be Kurt and Rachel. I love that their ambition is celebrated. Obviously, I don’t know anything about the context for this yet but, just as a song choice even in the context of a performance, I love this choice for Kurt.
