GLEE - I Know Where I've Been (Full Performance) HD 

Unique and Mercedes has always been the most vocally talented actors in glee

How does anyone make it through this song without crying. The hurt in the lyrics is so strong, the vocals are full of power, and the harmonies are phenomenal.

Glee has not aged well in many aspects, but it was really one of the first shows of its kind to shed light on issues that were simply being pushed by the wayside. This scene alone is enough to make me a forever fan. Everything about it is just beyond amazing. The acting. The singing. The sense of unity. People politicize the trans community to a point where they are dehumanized. I’d like to imagine that if those same people watched this scene, they would see that in many ways, trans people are a little more human than the rest of us, in large part because they have to be in order to exist in this cesspool of bigotry that we call the world. Out of all of the things Glee got wrong, they sure did get this one thing right.

This is by far the most powerful performance this show has ever done. Gives me chills each and every time I watch it.

The strongest voices were always underused, wtf

Unique deserved more! So did Coach Bieste! Both characters are amazing! And this is the best scene ever

Unique just wasn’t used properly in the show she sang just as well as Mercedes and she wasn’t used properly as a character either they both deserved sm more spotlight

If you see the Boston gay men's choir's performance with Alex Newell, you will see the ultimate version of this song.

I already loved this song, and Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson already sing it phenomenally when they did, but when Alex Newell hits that last note an octave higher, it's just amazing. And the unity of the chorus behind them. Amazing. Pure perfection.

Alex is such an amazing singer.

Under no circumstances should this performance be underrated 👌🏽

Didn’t see one comment bout this so let me do it That final ‘BEEN’ wooooooooooow, i got goosebumps, and when Glee achieves that it means it’s special.

This is what acceptance looks like it should be used by more people ❤️🙏🏼

Mercedes feels like a proud mom at the end! Alex (in my opinion) is a way better singing then Rachel!! I still love her tho

I love that everyone behind unique's back singing are trans❤❤..this was beautiful

I would of loved to see kitty and unique have a scene in this as kitty makes such a point about how they all abandoned her and don’t speak anymore

Wow! Rivaling Queen Latifah. Everyone on this show was amazing. It is a shame they wasted so much time on Rachel instead of making it an ongoing showcase for endless talent.

THE FINAL BEEN. THAT NOTE. COMPLETE CHILLS MY GOD.

I adore the original but the emotion and pure talent in this version is just breathtaking and moving No matter who you are or who you choose to be you are human and right and should be treated as such So much love and respect for this song and everyone fighting a battle that shouldn’t even exist

this performance always makes me feel butterflies like the first time i saw it. seeing the couch singing while crying in the back, also unique/alex's voice, he made this song his song. i really think this is the top #1 best glee performance. i wouldn't be surprised to know that unique/alex actually performed live because everyone seemed genuinely touched, rachel/lea was almost crying too.

It doesn’t matter which rendition of this song I watch, every single time it makes me cry

One of the best renditions ever! Period!!!

That last note challenging Latifah, and hudson.

Alex Newell has a voice that's liquid gold. And what a range! Just incredible 🤩

hands down the most emotional performance in the show, i get chills every time ❤️

Alex was and always will be a bright bright shining star! That TONY was well deserved!

I've never cried harder at this show, this scene hits me every time and it's so good

The choir comes in and take this song over 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽.....they carried those runs like they were nothing!💯💯💯

Absolutely Amazing Vocalist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ALEX NEWELL bound for a TONY AWARD

Alex just fucking owns this song.

When I realized what was going on the first time I saw this I cried my eyes out this was so beautiful. There aren’t too many moments like this.

One of the most beautiful performances in the history of glee and music! I was in tears when I watched this 🙌🏼

Love, Love, LOVE This !! Alex Newell is now Starring on Broadway ~ and Deservedly so!! Representation.

Alex sang this beautifully.

This performance was PHENOMENAL! And the sustained high Ab5 at the end was 🔥🔥🔥!!!

As a deaf gay man who has faced discrimination on many occasions this wonderful performance turned me into a sobbing wreck.

whenever i feel successful on my littlest achievements in life, i go to watch this video to remain humble. it reminds me of all my social struggles, pain & heartbreaks brought by homophobia and use it to even better myself in this world. THIS SONG MAKES YOU GROUNDED AND KINDER EACH TIME FOR EVERYONE IN THIS CRUEL WORLD. We all have undeniable suffering each time but you are never alone. Somewhere, somehow we have someone out there whose experiences match yours so never feel alone - only stronger each time. 💯 ❣️

Gives me chills every time

One of the best performances ever on the show , an absolutely epic performance by Alex Newell 👏🏽👏🏽

The best version of this song by far

I keep swearing that one day, I'll get all the way through this performance without crying. Today is not that day 🥰😪

chills. every time.

Never ceases to give me goosebumps!😱🥹😭

Unique SANG this!!!

my favorite rendition of this song

I dont think people give Glee the credit it deserves in changing the way we view people now adays its had its problems and we can argue whether that change was truly positive or not but it did a lot Glee really changed the world a little

Never watched glee because I didn’t care for some of the stereotypes and labels I heard were pushed in the show but this performance alone has me in full tears and makes me want to give it a chance

One of my favorite scenes!! 💚

Honestly only her or Mercedes could’ve sang this song and do it justice

I can’t express how much this song moves me every time I hear it. Alex Newell is outstanding🫶🏼😭

man i still can't watch this scene without bloody bawling ! its so wholesome man !

Got me crying at 5AM, how dare you?💞

Still get chills years later

All I can say is thank you jesus

Alex really naild the art of mixed voice ✨🔥 insane Range for a Male.

It makes me cry every single time

This brings me to tears every time. Sometimes I feel like I can't feel anything. like I'm numb, and then this video comes into view and I cry all over again

One of the most epic moment of Glee

This performance was beautiful

No matter what , i have to come Back here, always!! This song, and the message is so powerful for everyone , but a Lot more with My Beautiful community !!! Love yourself , respect everyone and help others with true love and kindness !! World needs that

I LOVE ALEX HE IS AMAZING

Man, that was powerful!

The beauty of music is the emotion that it can make you feel. I cry every time no matter how many times I see it. I've been to some very dark places and this makes me feel seen. heard. like I'm not alone.

There's a light in the darkness Though the night is black as my skin There's a light, burning bright, showing me the way But I know where I've been There's a cry in the distance It's a voice that comes from deep within There's a cry asking why, I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah 'Cause I know where I've been There's a road we've been travelin' Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty Worth the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win And there's pride in my heart 'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do And I know where I've been, yeah There's a road we must travel There's a promise we must make Oh, but the riches, the riches will be plenty Worth the risks and the chances that we take There's a dream, yeah, in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up to tomorrow 'Cause just to it still would be a sin I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going Lord knows I know where I've been Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God 'Cause I know where I've been

Holy shit that was amazing

When a strong truly express your journey and suffering in life , society , and hidden pain ! That’s my pain in one song , thank you for making me feeling it like it’s a commun struggle , I can feel it , I’m not alone 1:56 “ Use that pride in our hearts to left us up until tomorrow “ I’m not alone I’m sure every strugglers I’m with you I may not able to hold your hand but through this comment I might hold your soul with me !

Oh my god, this made me sob! I came here from Alex’s gorgeous BLM video, and I forgot how powerful and incredible this seen is! All the chills 🤧💕

Alex Newell has always been the moment

😢 amazing

Não tem UMA VEZ SEQUER que não me emociono com essa perfomance do Alex!!!!

As a trans person this song and performance touch me deeply❤

Imagine bein able to sing like this…makes me emosh! #shebetalented

Essa performance é uma das mais PIKA de Glee! Amoooo ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

im about to pick this thing apart (In a good way) (my show choir ass couldn't help it's self) 0:04 it starts 0:29 this line sets up the whole song. just by this line you know that this will be amazing 0:36 the vibrotto on the riff is beautiful. 0:44 when she goes high on "Deep" it's fucking amazing 0:55 her riffs are beauty. 1:08 I know this isn't about the singing (we all know that's beautiful) but when she goes over to him and takes his hand it's a "You're not alone" "We love you" and that is so affirming. To know that you aren't alone. 1:15 this line is so fucking powerful 1:24 his face is pure joy. Having them all be trans is one of the best desitions they could have made for this (Besides deciding her to sing this) 1:36 the run to the people that will accept him is just AHHHHHHHH it brings me to tears every time 1:38 her belt is GORGEOUS 1:42 her backing vocals are on point 2:15 the way she goes into this is just emaculet and then she goes straight into the high note is beautiful 2:32 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHES SO TALENTED. THAT NOTE!!!!!

Phenomenal song from hairspray

crying

Epic!

One of the best voices in the world!!!!

SHES THE BEST

WOW

Wow😇🥰Amazing😭

Wow

If the Glee club had a Unique, why didn't they make such a majestic performance in competitions like this one? Instead they gave us bland Marley and annoying Blaine

Rachel can never compare!!

♡

wow just spotted TS Madison

why am i crying

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This might be one of the most important scenes in all of glee

There's unusual way of seeing this song, everytime that I've seen it i start to cry and hope. I found it very social for me, because i don't see it like theme of black people, or lgbt community.. It's about all difficulties and injustices in our world, but, there's a hope. 🙂
