I think Chris is lip sycing(he sounds exact the same as the record version) and if you listen carefully theres not much eco and hes voice sound like equalize. Whike Lea's voice is totally different from the studio version. Im not saying he cant sing this song i think he didnt want to fail on it.
"Every year in high school, we'd have this talent show, and every year I'd beg to sing Defying Gravity and every year they turned me down because I was a boy and they said it was a girl's song." - Chris Colfer
+Linn Therese What are you talking about? Lea sings here in the same key she sang in her studio solo version and the one with Chris. She hits the "high F" perfectly. In fact, she hits two brieves F5s and a sustained F5, and also a F#5
Chris lower notes are beautiful and Lea's higher notes are beautiful. And that is what make this song so amazing! This is without doubt the best Glee cast song!
I believe the both of them sounded amazing in this! Chris's voice may be covered up by lea at certain point in time, but he still managed to hold his own against lea, who is like one of the best singers in the cast and she is obviously trained to sing live also. Chris and lea
Amazing performance! So glad I was able to go to this concert! Best one I've been to in a while. I love that youtube can give me an encore and bring back the memories.
Chris Colfer is a tremendous talent, and I'm so glad Glee introduced him to us. A wonderful actor (is it any wonder they give him such meaty stories on the show?), an unusual but utterly phenomenal and unique voice, plus he's adorable, and in his interviews he seems like such a dear, witty young man. A great role model.
For people saying he doesn't have a "sound thing", he actually does. It's at the back of his pants, n his waistline. It's not viewable here, but it's visible in quite a few photos from certain angles. I'd been unsure whether he was lip syncing too, because of the absence of the "sound thing", but I just saw a few pics angling his rear, and he's wearing it.
GOOOSEBUMMPS all around!!!! Chris is just something else hope he gets more solos in the upcoming season, and Lea what can we say about her as terrific as always and i personally think she is just going to get even better.
Lea is so Amazing !! I love the whole cast of Glee !! Wish i had just one ounze of talent like they do ..lol, HUGE FAN OF GLEE !! WILL - I love you! ;-)
Both of these people are the best performers on Glee. THE best. Lea is amazing. Chris is so awesome, he's got nowhere the experience Lea has, yet (IMHO) he owns this song. Live, anyway.
chris has incredible control over his voice. and lea was amazing , although she was a little early on that last note. you can tell because she comes in a little later on all the other videos from the different concerts. regardless, both of them are so talented
I actually work at Radio City. I saw all 5 of the Glee performances, 4 of them right up next to the stage. Trust me, Chris absolutely was singing live, in all of them.
For those who use the "Chris is lip-syncing because he wears no black box" excuse; look closely at his left side beltline between 1:11 and 1:12, just after he takes Lea's hand and they turn, for a split second you can see a reflection off of the black box he wears. I've watched all of the live recordings from LA, NYC, and this one, really love this song, and there are subtle differences. Y'all need to remember, he's been practicing this for 6 years. Enough time to perfect it I'd say!
Chris, by portraying an openly gay character in a positive light on national TV you have defied gravity for all of us! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
OMG-how thrilling1 I'd love to have been there. I have Chris's solo version of this. It inspires mje everytime I hear it. He has the voice of an angel. I love Lea,but to me-it's HIS song,b/c he suffered bullying from homophobes when he was in HS. Of course they sing live. they're 100% professional. xx Thankx for posting! You are luckkkky!!!
It's amazing how Chris sounds just as good live as when it's recorded.
I love him soo much. ^-^

i love Lea Michele's voice! always.
Oh my God, their voice is so amazing! I'm unbelievable in my ears!
For having performed all day and having most of the solos, Lea still sounds pretty damn amazing.
OMG! I love it! I love Chris Colfer's voice when singing this song, and Lea Michelle always sounds good.
