Re: Kurt Hummel Spoiler Thread--part 3

[valkeakuulas]

I woke up with the gruesome thought that Kurt might be the one to choke.....on his Phantom song.

Rachel's audition solo is DROMP. We already have that recording, so they don't have to release it again. That's maybe why it wasn't posted at Amazon, not because she chokes on it.
But there is no Phantom song, so it could mean that Kurt chokes on it.

Oh damn, we have too much imagination and nightmares in this fandom. I'm thinking that, just like the picture is showing, we get all the prep done on his audition, buuuut then cut just as he is about to start and same goes for Rachels performance. So we will be not shown audition performances at all. I have to think it like this. Who controls the rights to POTO, I assume it's still Lloyd Webber? This song might be used as a audition song in the storyline but because they do not withhold the rights we will not see it.

I think Phantom would be perfect for this voice.
Music of the Night is such a beautiful song.

I can't believe they're not doing it! And teasing us with the outfit!?
That's just mean!

I am not a fan of "Not the Boy Next Door", which is the song he's doing.
It's vocally simple, and too silly.

Phantom would be perfect. I don't know why Kurt would change his mind and change his song to "Not the boy next door"

First Listen Friday for Choke

The music is out. Not going to say anything until a few other people have listened to it.

[happydays]

Ok. I like NTBND. It's not epic as I would want his audition to be but there's a high G I've been waiting for him to sing for so long...

Add some high kicks and you'll have a great number!!

BTW, it's here if some of you can't see it one the gleemusic page as I don't. http://gleemusicdownloads.tumblr.com/post/21912728786/glee-cast-not-the-boy-next-door

AIWNSG is also a webbed song. Its not the rights issue. I think its the vocals: the women's part needs operatic singing voice. Phantom has a deep very dark voice. They cant reproduce it well based on thiscast, but then they did w Tony and Maria...

Kurt wont choke. POTO is a rehearsal scene. Blainewas watching and Kurt was talking to himself. although there's a second scene w a slightly different outfit.... they r definately made me interested inthis episode.

Don't forget Rachel's sad face onstage. She looks more like the choking one. And rumors went r and woopy has more scenes together so it sounds like shes the choking one. And don't forget that r and k has a number of crying scenes at the locker. I cant imagine Kurt crying on Rachel's shoulder. Shes too short.

re: NTBND, I actually love it. It's not a song I am that familiar with but he sounds tremendous on it. I like him using his highest range only in spots for dramatic effect rather singing the entire song in it.

I like this better than IHN and I can imagine that coupled with his performance of it, it will be a great Kurt moment.

[HollyMc.]

**sigh**
I really wanted Phantom. I really don't like that song. It's silly and boring.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE "The Cell Block Tango", and the girl's voices are stunning on "Shake it Out"
Haven't listened to the others yet.

^Hi GA. Bye, GA.

I love NTBND. And that high G is perfect: open, free and on pitch.

It's not the amazing big audition song I expected. But they put it in a really good key for him, and those high notes show of his vocal range.
Using this 'easy' song in itself is a safe choice, but by putting those high notes in, they made a perfect balance of solid singing, display of abilities, and some daring moves.


But I still want that Phantom song.

[E-ko]

Ooh, NTBND is cute and fun. The glory notes are gorgeous. Not exactly sure how this is better than any of his female Broadway songs, tho, and def don't like it that this is the song/performance he gets into NYADA with(-- probably). But strip it of its Glee-context and view it just as a Chris-song itself, I really love it.

[tanita_mors]

Frankly, I'm loving all the music this week.

NTBND - while technically isn't difficult, Chris sounds phenomenal on it and I'm loving those few super high notes that he did for flourish. And I'm sure that the visuals will only add to the song. I'm loving it - I must have listened it 10 times already.

As for Phantom - that scene pic if from the scene with Blaine where Kurt is rehearsing. If you remember the promo, there is another Phantom scene where Kurt and Rachel are fully dress as Phantom and Christine (where she sprays his mouth)

[kac]

Like others, I adore his song, perhaps it isn't showy enough, but that is where the visuals will come in hopefully.

I am very excited!

I'm addicted too.

Maybe they will keep it to next week?

The Rain in Spain:

Hugh Jackman watches Glee, and he will be seeing Chris performing a song from The Boy of Oz.

As an Aussie I feel honored that they gave this song to Chris. Peter Allen was one of our greats.

Chris knocked this out of the park.

I like it is not a imitation with the little things Chris has added to making it soully Kurt's. I can't wait for this performance. I feel this is going to be one of those Kurt moments.

[tanita_mors]

I love the Rain In Spain - very punk-rock

[fantastica]

Love love love Chris number! Those glorious high notes r just glorious! Marie is this songsung in its original key? And what's that highest note? Just curious.

I also think jenna sounds great too. Miss her voice a bit.

[tanita_mors]

School's Out - is also good, but I thank that the guitar is a bit too load and Mark doesn't quite have the voice for hard-rock, but it's good cover

Shake It Out and Cell Block Tango are great as well. Lea's solo is well, Lea's solo - vocal always fantastic, boring after a while.

[dap1217]

Really love ntbnd,so upbeat and light.Not Kurt's 'nomal' dramatic song,but still.

I can't listen to SIO,no one can touch Florence especially glee these no emotion investing female singers,except Jenna maybe.Also Naya sings too much I may be sick of her.
Cry is meh.
School's out is not my cup of tea,tho.
The rain is spain is fun.
LOL at CBT.

Is that a High G?I don't know,just heard someone says so.

Um, I have no words. No words at all.

I grew up loving My Fair Lady, so if I did say something, there would be so many expletives I might have to remove myself from the board until after the episode aired. So I will just keep it to myself.

[valkeakuulas]

My thoughts on First Listen:

Cry made me go mmhn, a typical ballad, I don't have to listen to it again. Lea can sing, I have no idea how Clarkson sounds don't listen to her at all.

Cell Block Tango was excellent, I'm sucker for musicals. Just waiting to see who will get "stabbed" and "shot" in the scene.

Boy Next Door was...good and pure fun, I can basically hear the glitter and glimmer in this. And that grunt in the middle, do we get our much anticipated high kick here. I feel this is a good audition piece in the episode.

Rains In Spain is My Fair Lady to me all the way. Nice try at the arrangement but no. I had hard time telling who sang what. Finns voice was the only one I recognised right away. So no Blaine solo, but I have a sneaking suspision that he's hidden somewhere in this song...

Schools Out showed me that it is finally good to hear Puck singing! And the song fits like a glove to the current plot, but something lacked for me in this.

Shake It Out is the only one I simply do not like. As a fan of Florence I might have a defensive attitude, but it had too many levels of vocals that it sounded funny for me. It should have been just a Tina solo, she's done so well previously with Florence songs since we have so many solos.

[ColferGirl]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG OMG!!!!!

I just woke up and listened to NTBND. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS AMAZING!!! I couldn't stop smiling and then towards the end I cried I love it so much. It's so good! He sounds freaking fantastic and its wonderful and I love it to pieces and I can't stop listening to it long enough to listen to the other songs. I'm so in love with it, and I loooooooooove the high notes that he did in the song for an added flourish, so wonderful! Love love love it.



Chris songs (heck, Chris in general, if Tribeca night is anything to go by) makes me really emotional I guess.

[dap1217]

I think if there's a Kurt Hummel Show,Not the boy next door should be its theme song.

[Glorfindel]

Love love love Chris number! Those glorious high notes r just glorious! Marie is this songsung in its original key? And what's that highest note? Just curious.

I also think jenna sounds great too. Miss her voice a bit.

I missed Jenna's voice too.

And that high note is a high G !!! (the other high note is an F).

It's not in the original key, it's much higher. It's 6 (!) semitones higher than Hugh Jackman's version.
And I think they put it in a perfect key for him, to display his warmest timbre.
