    For context of why Kurt didn’t hit that note, it’s because it was an audition kinda thing ( i can’t exactly remember) and he threw the note because he didn’t want to be bullied for having a female role (he hits it earlier in the same episode)
    Also for songs I would recommend
    Kurt - not the boy next door
    and Mercedes - River Deep, Mountain High
    Edit: He didn’t want his FATHER to be harassed, my bad

    I Want to Hold Your Hand - Season 2 Episode 3 Grilled Cheesus
    Le Jazz Hot - Season 2 Episdoe 4 Duets
    The Boy Next Door - Season 3 Episdoe 18 Choke
    The Greatest Star - Season 3 Episode 2 I am Unicorn
    I Believe in a Thing Called Love - Season 5 Episode 9 Frenemies
    Context for this video:
    Kurt really wanted a chance to sing this song, but Mr Schue and Rachel basically told him he didn't deserve the chance since it's typically a girls song (hence the stick eye he keeps giving them throughout this). Then his dad threatened to sue the school if he didn't get a fair chance so it became a "Diva Off". Kurt hit the note in rehearsal but blew the note on purpose after his dad received a homophobic phone call about him, and wanted to try and protect his dad from that side of his life.

    Mercedes' best song for me has always been her version of "Ain't No Way". Other great ones are:
    - Angels We Have Heard on High
    - Try a Little Tenderness
    - Disco Inferno
    - I Will Always Love You
    - Jump (she does an INSANE solo here)

    Kurt/Chris Colfer has a really amazing range and voice, but I think his strongest suit is probably his acting (as Chris,) and the emotion he brings to each song. With that being said, Rose's Turn, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and I Am Not the Boy Next Door are my personal favorites of his songs (with Hold Your Hand being really strong vocally, too.)

    If you want to see more Kurt solos, you should definitely check out "Being alive", "I want to hold your hand" or "Rose's turn"
    Also, the second video you reacted to was sped up (I believe it's bc of the copyright thing), so if you want to hear them sing naturally, try choosing clips from other channels

    One of my all-time favorite Mercedes performances is her season 1/Episode 16 "Beautiful"... So much more raw than some of the other songs where it sounds like they have "processed" her voice, and demonstrative of the sheer talent she has from the start of the series when she felt like she was always pushed into the background.
    10 years later, it still brings tears to my eyes, and not just when I catch glimpses of the 3 lost talents...

    For Mercedes, "and I am telling you" is a must-see! Maybe give River deep, mountain high a listen too. As for Kurt, I recommend Rose's turn. I believe they let Chris Colfer choose Rose's turn as a song, and it suits him much better than many of the other songs they had him sing during the show.
