One thing we as fans don't really understand when we comment is that the actual signing ability showcased is not the characters singing ability. Rachel is written as a musical star in a choir with good signers who don't really compare with her. The problem is the actors and (especially the) actresses that play different characters compare. As Rachel is supposed to be the star for "plot" she has to get the solos. The people playing Kurt or Santana or Mercedes can compete with Michelle but Rachel is the bigger star due to the plot. It's silly but plot is worth more than dividing singing roles based on talent. I sometimes wonder if the show would make more sense if some of the cast members were actually worse singers.
I have to disagree with most of the comment above mine. Apart from Amber Riley (she is a goddess), the other people definitely did not compare with Lea Michele, however good they were. In my opinion, Chris Colfer's voice is overrated. I do think, though, that Jenna Ushkowitz's voice was not showcased properly: she is a great singer, but her character was always mistreated. Such a shame.
Omg did i do that ? I'm so sorry i don't know what happened 😭 i think the fact that they auditionned for les mis with it just confused me so sorry for this mistake
this gave me a massive laugh, thank you. I have a bit of a similar story where in DSB, Finn sings “a singer in a smokey room” but I heard it as “a singer in a small gay room” and got very confused.
I'm so glad you didn't put dont rain on my parade at the top. Lea sings it amazingly, but not only does she sing other things better, but it is not the best song on the show by a long run, however iconic it may be
@@larmurph318 i- i do not get your logic- that majority of people in glee were in a musical at some point in there lives- does that mean the majority of songs on glee should also be on this list then?-
Seasons of Love is so "fresh" for the actors. I'm sure most of not ALL of them are still grieving the loss of their real friend. I know if I gave it any more emotion, I'd burst out in tears
Not @ you forgetting As If We Never Said Goodbye, Kurt covered it and is honestly the best musical theatre performance, Also I mainly agreed but I thought that I dreamed a dream deserved higher than you gave it
I don't blame you for forgetting a couple lol there's SO many to try and keep track of! But out of curiosity, where would you have ranked At The Ballet and As If We Never Said Goodbye? Also your taste is IMMACULATE, this list really said Kurt finally getting the appreciation he deserves and it's just 🤌🤌
@@jasmined8286 I don't really like Kurt's voice and you put a lot of his songs pretty high on the list and I think some of my favorite were too low like suddenly seymour and broadway baby and summer nights and I dreamed a dream
@@jasmined8286 Thank you ! I know Chris is an amazing singer btw, but he just has a very particular voice and i never really found the sound of his voice pleasant to listen to. You have good taste too !
loved the video but every song from the jagged little tapestry episode are also all from their respect artists juke box musical, beautiful: a carole king musical and jagged little pill. also missing chenoweth's 'home' and 'at the ballet' from a chorus line but honestly i'm pretty impressed you found all of these. xx
I respect everyone, but I honestly don't like Chris' voice when he sings high notes... I get how objectively good it is, but it kinda gives me headache, sorry😅
I wasn't able to watch the show when it was on, unfortunately, but I've seen a lot of content here on RUclips. Damn there was some incredible talent on that show! Amazing.
great list but there were a couple that you forgot such as i dreamed a dream and on my own from les mid and you can’t stop the beat from hairspray. but great list, love your videos
I totally agree with this list but me personally I would put Suddenly Seymour at number 3 but I may be biased because it is my favorite cover on the show.

Literally every glee performances video that includes it that I've seen has had to cut the audio. It's weird that it seems to be not only the only glee song, but the only Les Miz song used in Glee that gets the audio so diligently blocked. I wold actually be interested in hearing from the person who posted the video what company made the copyright claim. That it was just the audio and not the video makes me think that it has nothing to do with fox or the Glee rights holders, but whatever owns the rights to the song itself. It's still weird that none of the other songs from les miz the show used get blocked so often. Maybe it's because the way it's so kind of simple, pure, and easily identifiable in a way the others might not be triggers the automatic processes these companies use. Sorry for rambling. I've just noticed it being blocked on so many videos in a way none of the other songs are, and it made me kind of interested.
@@agnesgoesadventuring2227 yess i know right ? It's so weird ? I've seen other youtubers having the same problems with candles but i'm not concerned so that's kind of weird... But no the problem doesn't come from Glee, it's just RUclips that doesn't allow me to post the video with that song... Honestly i don't know why this song in particular it's strange
I still don’t get why they never did a Mamma Mia/ABBA episode
Agree !! It would have been amazing
For real
I wanted so much!!!! I spent the whole tv series with that hope
Same! It would’ve been amazing!
But Disney would have been good too
The sue and shuester songs out of context is hilarious
Edit: I love how most of the top is klaine(Kurt /blaine/both)
Agree when she says "buttchin" i always start laughing 😂
Just now I noticed how many times they added Rachel to songs that could’ve been amazing Kurt solos
Agreee
If you look up the soundtracks, they often have Kurt solo versions....Don't Cry For Me Argentina for example.

@@naraiceylob no, just no, aside from Amber Riley none of them come close to Lea
Justice for Not Getting Married Today
I'm very impressed
Emma can sing so fast
This video just makes it clear to me that Kurt was born for musicals, I love that.
Agree !! He's the best ahah
Even though Chris Colfer (Kurt's actor) is a writer, and not in musical theatre, let alone acting
My only issue with this list is that you included "Dream On" by Aerosmith, and had it listed as being from Les Miserables.
Omg did i do that ? I'm so sorry i don't know what happened 😭 i think the fact that they auditionned for les mis with it just confused me so sorry for this mistake
@@jasmined8286 I don’t really care tbh. It’s an amazing song and I never mind hearing it!
Yes same I was confused 🤣🤣
The Glee writers really did Tina dirty when they made her have a crush with Blaine
Fun fact, the first time I heard Kurt sing "Mr Cellophane" I thought he was saying "Mr. Saladfame."
OMG 😂
I would love to be called Mr. Saladfame 😂😂
this gave me a massive laugh, thank you. I have a bit of a similar story where in DSB, Finn sings “a singer in a smokey room” but I heard it as “a singer in a small gay room” and got very confused.
@@ameliagrace30 Ive been wheezing too hard about this
I love the fact that the most songs of the top are Kurt songs. Finally someone gives my baby the respect he deserves :')
He's amazing !!
@@jasmined8286 Ikr! He’s got an amazing voice!
I respect everyone’s opinions but for me Chris’s voice takes away my anxiety and it’s my favorite
OMG YES
Hello fellow starkid fan
YES.
‘not getting married today’ being at number 71 is a hate crime 😔
JUSTICE FOR WINNER TAKES IT ALL, THIS PERFORMANCE WAS MASTERFUL
PREACH- it was literally Sue's most vocally impressive performance. I didn't know she could belt like that
Wait that rain in Spain song is from a musical???oh ok
Yess ! It's a very different instrumental but it's from my fair lady
Audrey Hepburn "sang" Pucks part in the song. Technically, Audrey did do a recording of the song but the studio 86ed it and sub a voice over hers.
you missed the song at the ballet from A chorus line xoxo
Finn was absolutely perfect in Damn it Janet. I love love love this acting in this one
I'm so glad you didn't put dont rain on my parade at the top. Lea sings it amazingly, but not only does she sing other things better, but it is not the best song on the show by a long run, however iconic it may be
I agree, it's an amazing song, but not the best
And Naya sang it better anyway
@@themistheblue9449 Rachel slayed. Naya did a great job but Rachel made it iconic.
@@paulafitzhenry1036 Agree to disagree, for me Rachel was always overacting, and that one was no different
@@themistheblue9449 nope.
I loved this list however dream on is not from les miserable it’s an Aerosmith song the song from les lid is I dreamed a dream xx
I don't think it's any musical?! 😂😂 But anyway both Matthew Morrison and Neil Patrick Harris were in musicals it counts
@@larmurph318 ⁰
They both were auditioning for les mis in that episode, maybe that's where they got confused
@@larmurph318 i- i do not get your logic- that majority of people in glee were in a musical at some point in there lives- does that mean the majority of songs on glee should also be on this list then?-
Amber really was the best singer in every genre she gave us Broadway, R&B, rock, blues, and jazz
I will say it once, and I'll happily say it again. The Rain in Spain is a BOP. :)
Seasons of Love is so "fresh" for the actors. I'm sure most of not ALL of them are still grieving the loss of their real friend. I know if I gave it any more emotion, I'd burst out in tears
Sorry for 27 apparently RUclips doesn't like Rachel 😂
Enjoy the video !
youtube has a point
No. 75 always made me feel weird. That guy looks a lot older than her and she’s meant to be about 19 in that scene. Weird af
super agree, it made me feel weird too.
Same. Ik they're just rehearsing a scene, but it was still really weird
Time Warp only number 30? Them's fightin' words haha. It's my number 1 :)
Not @ you forgetting As If We Never Said Goodbye, Kurt covered it and is honestly the best musical theatre performance,
Also I mainly agreed but I thought that I dreamed a dream deserved higher than you gave it
I laughed so hard at the fact that Heather is completely crossed-eyes in You Can't Stop the Beat 10:41
not the dresses with the 3/4 length leggings lmaooo
I love love love so many of the musical theater songs in glee 😭 such a great show to honor that genre
I like Sue slyvester songs lol
Being alive is so underrated, chris's lower register is angelic and the show didnt highlight it nearly enough
ah, yes. dream on. my favorite song from les mis.
8:06 the heck😳 Is it just me or did she actually freakin' sound like Idina?
I’m pretty sure Idina and Barbra Streisand somehow had a love child, and that that child was Lea.
Gutted that Home from The Wiz isn't on here - Chenoweth smashed that one right out of the park
I love this list very very much, great taste:)
Thank you so much !!
i agree with who are you now i don’t understand why they didn’t have just rachel sing it especially since it was so emotional for her
Completely agree... It doesn't make any sense
I don't blame you for forgetting a couple lol there's SO many to try and keep track of! But out of curiosity, where would you have ranked At The Ballet and As If We Never Said Goodbye? Also your taste is IMMACULATE, this list really said Kurt finally getting the appreciation he deserves and it's just 🤌🤌
Come what may should have been higher but Lord the pop on Rose's Turn is so iconic! Kurt is too good for us 😂
i always thought Will looked like off brand Neil Patrick Harris
CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY "Cool" is in the bottom third
This was such a good idea for a video!! I’ve been binging all of your vids the past couple days and I love them
Ohh thank you so much !! ❤️ That's really sweet tysm
I’ll be honest, Memory is one of the most underrated performances on the entire show, so seeing it be this high makes me smile!
this is as if we never said goodbye exclusion 😔
Ohhh nooo i forgot about it sorry 😭
Mercedes at the top as she should be
Dream on was their audition song, its not actually from les miserables
Great video and ranking
Oww thank you !! ❤️
who even allowed The Rain In Spain to be on this already chaotic show
Idk but that was a lot 😂
Love that respect for boy next door
I think that Holly being in place 69 isn’t just a coincidence... 😅😅
i love it ! keep going
Oh thank you so much Emma !! Means a lot ❤️❤️
NUMBER 4!!!??? That performance took my breath away. Lea can also do it flawlessly live. Where’s the justice? 😅
The video is cool even if i disagree with a lot of things
Thank you ! What do you disagree with for example ? I'd like to know :)
@@jasmined8286 I don't really like Kurt's voice and you put a lot of his songs pretty high on the list and I think some of my favorite were too low like suddenly seymour and broadway baby and summer nights and I dreamed a dream
@@tomidrac9719 oh okay i see! Those songs are soo good you've got good tastes :)
@@jasmined8286 Thank you ! I know Chris is an amazing singer btw, but he just has a very particular voice and i never really found the sound of his voice pleasant to listen to. You have good taste too !
@@jasmined8286 Rose’s Turn is too high, Season of Love is too low

Why is The Winner Takes It All always so low though? I see it as Sue's most vocally impressive performance
Where's number 10?
it's hopelessly devoted to you. they put two 9s so hopelessly devoted to you is 10 and broadway baby is 9
Not every son is here. Where´s "Anything you can do I do better"? And a lot of those 80's songs are from "Rock of Ages"
I love glee so much
so love this video it so good
Thank you !! ❤️
I respect everyone, but I honestly don't like Chris' voice when he sings high notes... I get how objectively good it is, but it kinda gives me headache, sorry😅
um ok but what about anything goes / anything you can do
I wasn't able to watch the show when it was on, unfortunately, but I've seen a lot of content here on RUclips. Damn there was some incredible talent on that show! Amazing.
great list but there were a couple that you forgot such as i dreamed a dream and on my own from les mid and you can’t stop the beat from hairspray. but great list, love your videos
62: it’s actually “somewhere” by west side story
Seasons of love should be way way wayyyy higher
Dream on isn't from Le Miz, it's an Aerosmith song they sang for the audition, but its not from the musical!
im surprised they never did a kinky boots song...it wouldve fit perfectly
Perfect number 1!!
I didn't see Anything goes?
I agree with a lot of the top choices! Thanks for this video
Thank you !! ❤️
I was thinking Kurt played the part when is it my turn? Very good. Actor probably the best but not his part. Hard to do.
Any song that features Santana, Kurt or Mercedes is 🔥. Rachel was over played and over used
justice for out here on my own
I counted 22 songs that we had in common for our top 100! That's a new record out of all of the ranking videos I've watched! Great list :)
Ohh i'm glad we agree !! Thank you 💕
Uh…it’s Gypsy, not Gipsy…
I think
I'm the greatest star (Kurt) or My man are the top 2 and 1
My very underrated comment but:
What I Did For Love is the best song and solo in the whole series
It's one of my favorite too !! Like can we talk about it ?? Why is it so underrated ?
@@jasmined8286 ikr! literally my most streamed song on apple music
@@ithinkweallmakeitshine8881 as you should !
I totally agree with this list but me personally I would put Suddenly Seymour at number 3 but I may be biased because it is my favorite cover on the show.
It's such a great song omgg
Maybe this time should’ve been an april solo
May I ask where's what a feeling from flashdance and my favourite things from the sound of music
the top two literally are the only mitochondria left powering all the somatic cells in my body
Not me knowing that And Im Telling You will be number one even before watching the video
Lol Dream On isn’t from Les Miserables. It’s an Aerosmith song.
the disrespect to all the rocky horror songs... this is a disgrace
we were so robbed of never getting SMASH songs on glee. let me be your star with rachel and santana literally bye!
There’s no #10
My favourite movie is titanic and phantom of the opera
...what fever dream am i living in that dream on is in les miserables?
Favourite things from sounds of music? Did i just miss it?
tf is going on with brittany at 10:41 ?
It always makes me laugh 😂
Justice for Buenos Aires
What about total eclipse of the heart? It’s so underrated
It's not in a musical, i mean i don't think so

I love all the work you put into this but Dream On is not from Les Miserables, it's an Aerosmith song.

Ummm…. Dream on is definitely an Aerosmith song and not from les mis??
Why couldn't we hear "on my own"?
