@@LizEllwood in season 2 they fly to NY without a setlist and in 1 night make 2 songs and a choreography for each one, memorize it, somehow practice it nowhere and compete, and they lost (shock) They won nationals in season 3 bc they actually had the songs months before the competition and practice it
Which is why I would prefer to not watch my competition perform. If their performance is great, you’re thinking, “Crap, we can’t make one mistake.” If they fall apart, you can get overconfident and not perform up to par. There’s nothing to be gained from watching your competition perform.
As much as we all wanted New Directions to win this performance is exceptional! They aren’t called Throat Explosion for nothing! And DAMN Skylar Astin you really outdid yourself
Skylar is the fifth original spring awakening cast member to appear on Glee. Rachel - Lea as Wendla. Jesse - Johnathon as Melchior, Tina - Jenna was ensemble and eventually understudy/swing for Ilse, Penny - Phoebe as Anna and Can’t remember ember his name - Skylar as Georg
And that’s not counting who then went on to be in the revival of Spring Awakening! I don’t remember the name of her character in Glee but in case you need a crappy description: the girl in the wheelchair with SASS that it was intended she hang out with Artie at the wedding (pretty sure she was written to be Emma’s niece?) but anyways: Alli Stroker - Anna in the revival Plus, when you watch “Imagine” from season one, one of the Deaf girls is Treshelle Edmond, she went on to be Martha in the revival I feel like I may be missing someone but hopefully not Plus a fun fact: Kevin McHale (Artie)’s boyfriend is Austin McKenzie who played Melchior in the revival lmao
Back here in 2024 and this is STILL one of the best (if not THE best) performances in all of Glee, especially from a guest on the show. Skylar has an amazing, effective, enigmatic presence - he dominates this stage, leads brilliantly, and gives it his ALL. His vocals are on point, the choreography is amazing, and is just... unmatched. When he's walking up at first and making the little robot ticks and then he takes off the mask, you feel it. When his voice goes high on 'the time has come, at last', and the next part? Are you kidding me!? The man is insane and has such astonishing range and he shows it here so brilliantly. Like, I feel it every time he does it. Whew man, you did not have to go that hard but I'm glad you did. Everyone else in the comments bring up the transition and don't get me wrong, that part is amazing too, but the build up to it is earned. The transition rocks, simply put. It's the smoothest transition ever and he slaughters that belt. The whole next part of the song is just... such a delight. I've played this song so many times on its own but I come back to the video constantly as well. It's just amazing. So much of Glee I trauma dumped to the back of my brain but this performance was worth it all.
This felt like a combination of s1 New Directions as the hit newbies and every-season Vocal Adrenaline, who depended on flash-one strong lead singer, lots of great dancers, and visually drawing us in. ND may not have have the flash or dancing prowess of VA or TE, but it was full of talented singers and emotion!
A lot of the performers from glee aren't pop singers, but that is not meant as an insult. They are brilliant performers with marvellous voices who will be there long after some of the so called stars.
Never watched Glee in my puff, but still keep coming back to this because an excellent song and an excellent performance is, and always will be, greater than the sum of its parts.
@JENNIFER LUCERO MEZA AVILA agree. I think they forgot how great jessie st. James at s1 e22 journey to regionals. Bohemian rhapsody will always be the benchmark of all performances of glee franchise. #fact
Or Samuel L. Jackson. I bet he has a Clause in every Contract that he gets to dispense "Mthr Fkr" whenever he deems necessary...lol.. Except his Capital One Commercials..😜
I feel like the writers had intended for the New Directions to win as a tribute to finn but then saw this performance be performed and was like “theres no way anyone would believe they beat this”
@@Ralb2000 No I actually think the new directions deserved to win. People always say I will survive was like 1000x better but I think they were equal. But overall the New Directions used more voices and Man in the mirror was a really good performance along with control and ABC
@@camillee7311 if they did the mashup they did during santana's coming out episodes (rumour has it/someone like you) they probably would've been more likely to win but even still, i think they should've won with survivor/i will survive
Skyler Austin was great in this performance especially at 1:12 even at 2:05 and it sucks that the new directions lost😩 but Skyler Austin was on 🔥this whole entire performance. I really enjoyed this performance a lot. When he won over the new directions I was 😭and 😡. Overall he had a great performance that definitely out smoked the new directions by a lot. Can’t blame him for that impeccable performance he put on then winning nationals. Kudos to him👏👏👏
Maybe glee should make counting stars full version and anyone realise what girl their wearing? Totally a same with tell him😂😂 Wait girls wearing like get it right?
throat explosion group was coordinated and focused and the result was a team effort even through the one guy sang the lead part.. New Directions had to lose,,, like an end of an era,,,,, they were not current,,, the new and fresh wins,,,,all kings fall,,,, I hope someone understands.. in their faces fear and despair and their final battle lost... you learn more from defeats than victories in many cases
I'm sorry the love of my life Skylar was on Glee?! I don't regret quitting the show, but thank you youtube for letting me see this! Seriously though his character Max on Zoey's is like the perfect guy. He's a nice guy that's actually a nice guy. He's that guy who's in love with his best friend but doesn't think she owes it to him to love him back. And takes her rejection very well. And his voice is just stupid ridiculous
I love the new directions but I’m still questioning how they ever got to nationals when the other teams KILL it. Yes, I desperately wanted them to win this one but this performance is spectacular and was immensely better
Okay, so my husband has never seen Glee or even heard any of the performances.... and this is his favorite song ever by Styx i think i need to show him this now
I always loved how shocked New Directions always looked that their competition actually rehearsed for these national competitions

@@inodorooo Are you telling me that musical groups actually have to practice their sets? What about the power of being the underdog?

It seems that the New Directions always have problems with teams with Jesses lol

Wait till they meet my nephew Jesse!!! 😂😂😂
LMAO
Jesse what are you doing? go back to Barden and sing with the treblemakers!😅
First time I saw him turn up I had to double take. now having been sure what I had seen.

It sucks that the new directions lost these nationals, but this performance is definitely superior
That's Why the lost
You know this show isn’t real and it was written that they didn’t win? It’s a show... not reality
We know its a show and that its scripted and planned we just say that their performance was better it made sense that they won even for a show
cant deny it skylar astin made me melt
yup
It was the vocalization of “Roboto” during the breakdown instead of it being the synthesizer that threw me. They deserved this win.
This ❤
the transition between mr roboto and counting stars has added five extra years onto my life
If I got 5 years each time I’d have an extra 500 years, at least, at this point. I always rewind
This comment is the most true thing Ive read in my entire life.
I like both songs, but this transition doesn’t sound good at all to me
I love that the new directions looked at each other like “yeah we just lost.”
Which is why I would prefer to not watch my competition perform. If their performance is great, you’re thinking, “Crap, we can’t make one mistake.” If they fall apart, you can get overconfident and not perform up to par. There’s nothing to be gained from watching your competition perform.
@@douglasrau5094 very well said, I concur
How did I never realize this was Skylar Astin from Pitch Perfect before?!?
I never noticed that 😊😊 so cool 😊
And Zoey.
This is legit one of the best performances on Glee
Rightttt
Agree!!!
Sip.
Skylar Astin is hard to beat.
the impact of skyler astin
So this is what Jesse did in high school before barden...
He sang in Spring Awakening, then finished high school with the New Directions, and finished at Barden lol.
I'm in love with that transitioning of songs
It just works
same
It's the best part of the mashup
Yeah
Finn's tribute was awesome, but this opponent was better
Yeah, that's why they lost
I was high as fuck watching this episode and this performance blew my mind. Now that I’m sober, it still stands.
As much as we all wanted New Directions to win this performance is exceptional! They aren’t called Throat Explosion for nothing! And DAMN Skylar Astin you really outdid yourself
Harper, I totally agree with you
Yes, what an incredible voice!!!!
Literally
They did amazing I would have love to see new directions win this for Finn

@@joshroe4993 you’re gonna need to be more specific because there’s two 😭
@@xiaomifeng true😂 Glee’s Jesse
Sooo this is why the treble makers aren't going to be in Pitch Perfect 3, bc Jessie had to go join this group wth JESSIE!!
this is completely two different songs and they still one won i-
They slapped tho
It’s the execution they owned it lol I would not want to be the judge this year both her so good
The way they transition made it tbh
The way I don’t remember this season whatsoever but this is unironically one of my favorite Glee performances….
I am not gonna lie, that transition gets me everytime and im not even a major glee fan
I think I am the only one who likes mr roboto too
Wow it’s been a year since I commented and people still find it
I didn't at first but now I think it's amazing
i like both but its a weird mash up more like a medley than a mash up :)
i always just vibe to it
Me and my dad listen to this before I saw this

I'm so mad that those songs doesn't have a full version... just the mashup...... Mr roboto was just amazing
He has such an incredible voice
Why does he look older here than he does in Pitch perfect 😂
Dressed fancy and his hairs flat
Slicked back hair and the suit/bow tie.
Seriously wondering who cleared the outfits for this scene
this season came out 2 years after pitch perfect
Because he was older this came out, but only be a year so I don’t know why he aged that much
because he is this was 2015 and pitch-perfect was like 2012 plus the hair
I love the song but no one is talkin about how old he looks to be in high school? lol
Every glee actor
most glee actors where in his 20's when the show was made, the youngest was Chris as Kurt and he was 19
Cory was near 30 yo 😂
I mean, the New Directions had a member in her 40s or so for a while so ....
@@remsma3412 do you mean the week that Kristin Chenowith “joined” Glee club?
they def didn't give Skylar enough credit in pitch perfect... they didn't use him to his full potential
That transition gives me life every time I hear it!!
I see you Jesse. You couldn't beat the Bellas at the College level so you came beat the New Directions at the High School level instead 😂
Yesss lol
maybe this was jesse before college level.....
I can actually imagine the conversation.
Jesse: So what shall we do next?
Bumper: Let's go crush the dreams of some kids.

The mr. roboto part of this mash up is the superior half
wish they had a separate mr. roboto cover tbh
Wish they had a full version of counting stars it was so good on the vocals
He went from High School Show cuior in Glee to Collage Acapella in Pitch Perfect and then went to work at Spark in Zoeys Extra Ordinary Playlist
And then moved to West Covina, California in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
College*
And now he has superpowers in zoey extraordinary playlist
@@flowerstars6937 they cancelled the show. So we’re not gonna get to see him with powers
This season was AFTER Pitch Perfect 1.
Love that all his tv roles have signing. Glee, zoeys extraordinary playlist, crazy ex girlfriend

this guy sang just as well as Jesse xd

Thanks 😊
He was in Spring Awakening with Lea Michele
And Jonathan Groff
Tamsyn Hyde what part did he play
@@baileylasalle2839 very late response, but Skylar was Georg
the transition well never get old
1:12 That probably the one of the biggest reasons they won
I love this song so much and he is so cute 💕😍x
One of my favourite Glee transitions!! Such a good mashup!!!
sinceramente uma das melhores performances
Concordo! Achei que neste campeonato o Glee escolheu uma playlist não muito boa.
As soon as i got chills from the performance many times i already knew that nd was gonna lose hard.
What was ND's performance?
ruclips.net/video/WNetiJBo9QM/видео.html
This has to be my favorite performance ever
now i love the new directions and their tribute in this episode, but they had no chance against this😭
Jesse e seu grupo arrasaram! Mereceram ganhar...
that transition is the best in the series ugh the chorus starting counting stars gives me shivers every time
ikr
counting starts is perfecto for Darren's voice
I love the song so good
My question is how they fit those dresses in those jumpsuits
They might slip the skirts on when they leave the stage and wear a bodysuit underneath the jumpsuit
They didnt there werent any Girls one Stage before the Costume Switch.
@@lunaris5054 if you look closely you'll notice several ponytails. None of the guys in this number had long hair.
They did obviously deserved to win these nationals.
Heeh that Mr. Roboto song was done extremely well 😂😂
I've never watched all of Glee and this is the first time I knew Skylar Astin was in this. I first saw him on Pitch Perfect.. 😅❤️❤️
God it would be so cool to the New Directions dance and perform at this level
Thank god they won this performance was so good
omg i was like they confused with the tittle because is pitch perfect
the transition into counting stars still gets me... unreal!
counting starsをフルで歌って欲しい！
パワフルで、テンポよくて、テンションあがりまくる！
Skylar's voice is smooooootttthhhh af 🔥
They totally rocked this year’s competition
He basically plays jesse from pitch perfect in every role he acts in. Like morgan freeman.
Or Samuel L. Jackson.

they are everything the glee club can NEVER be.
sometimes it amazes me how this show expected us to think these people were high schoolers
This was top 3 of the best perfomances in all the serie
Thank you very much Mr.Robot
That high note tho holy fuck
Smooth Criminal, Thriller/Heads will roll, Like A Prayer & this cover are the best of the entire series & they're all better than the originals
My favorite part of this performance is that Skylar is supposed to be, at most, 18 years old.
I think I missed a Pitch Perfect movie somewhere...
