Anyone notice old Rachel and new Rachel had different singing qualities? New Rachel had a more mature and refined tone and old Rachel had a more high pitched and girlier tone. Whats insane is that Lea Michele had to probably record both versions of this around the same time and she was able to change her voice in such a subtle but masterful way. Really goes to show how talented she really is.
I was thinking exactly the same. is like a real duet because they are two different voices. the old Rachel and the new Rachel...Lea Michele is AMAZING...
In my opinion this is one of the best songs Rachel has ever sung. It just tells so well about her relationship with Finn but also her development during the series. She is not that dreamy little girl anymore but has grown up and experienced quite a rollercoaster. And this scene just underlines it even more. Stay strong, Lea.
readytoquestion Yeah, but I think with chris, if you just had the vocals, you wouldn't really now that it was supposed to be 2 people. And I think Lea did a pretty good job at portraying her different personalities through her voice. Not that chris didn't do a good job, but it just wasn't as good as lea
readytoquestion Yeah he did, I totaly forgot that he did that :) But even if I love Chris and I liked his performance, I think I liked Lea version a little more. :)
I don't understand why people hated this season so much, I for one LOVED it because people come on: the show was from the start about Rachel and her dreams to live in NYC and go to NYADA, wasen't that what we all wanted for her? And after high school you change. Did you expect her to stay the very same all her life? As a human being, we learn, we make mistakes , we grow. She matured her style, as most people do after high school. I mean I love high school Rachel as well, but she stayed the same on the inside but a little bit more mature! I'd rather follow people who grow than remain static and predictable . I love this duet as well btw:).
emmamuuusic someone with the same mind 😊 people say glee should have ended at Season 3 because it's the graduation year, but they still had half the cast in the school and bringing new characters to the table. Rachel always wanted to be on broadway Seasons 1-3 is her high school life and Seasons 4-6 is how the older characters get more mature and become adults, that's why the second half of the series exists, they wanted a powerful story line. Season 2-3 had Rachel and Kurt dreaming about being in New York, so what's the point of ending it in season 3, you would never find out about what happens to the older lot as many of them meet their goals.
i agree w everyone that lea’s performance was stunning, but i also have to mention the mastery of the editing of these scenes. it was so brilliant how they cut back and forth between the rachels. anyone could’ve thought of the idea but the execution was beautiful.
I really like how they shot this number. It means so much to see Rachel progress over the years - tighter clothes, more mature make-up with heavier use of eyeliner and eye shadow, as compared to the young girl, almost in a uniform outfit, with that clean fresh look. Sometimes I wish I could also have a chance to do something like that - to go back in time and see for myself who I was when I was younger and promise never to lose myself, even as I grow.
I remember Rachel use to always practice singing in the mirror with her hairbrush now she can just sing with out it and do other things at the same time.
The way that old Rachel looked at the new one back then, at: "You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for" it was like when the inner you wants to give you some advice to help you remind yourself how to feel pure again. I don't know, it's just what I think.
This was such an amazing cover. Not just because of Lea's vocals, but the concept is great and I loved that this clearly shows the arc of Rachel's character development when it comes to her confidence and how she still questions herself. I have also always identified myself with Rachel throughout the entirety of Glee, lack of confidence and bullied while taking hold my skills. I just wasnt overbearing like her haha but its a tv show. So, watching this video is like looking at my old self and how I used to be like and dress, I was very corky like she used to be. Its kinda sad and nostalgic, but in the end the change was for the best and Im better now than ever before :)
I love this performance because no Gleek can deny that Rachel has changed and it really showed just how much she has and how much of the old Rachel is left.
This and The scientist are the only glee songs to make me cry...and maybe dont dream its over...but i love the new rachel shes grown so much since high school
She really matured over the seasons! She went from a self-absorbed brat to a mature young woman and it’s amazing to see. She is so talented and she’s awesome! The only person she can do a duet with and make it sound really good is herself. (“Be ok” with her and Santana was really good to though!)
2:05 Is this note sung in Natalie Imbruglia's version as well? I always thought it was a guitar! I don't know how you can sing like that, it's amazing! I'm going to look it up now.
When I listened to this song I felt really connected because I’m a little self conscious about my body and it made me remind myself that I’m perfect the way I am.
I thought I saw a man brought to life He was warm, he came around and he was dignified He showed me what it was to cry Well you couldn`t be that man I adored U don`t seem to know,seem to care what Ur heart is for I don`t know him anymore There`s nothing where he used to lie The conversation has run dry That`s what`s going on Nothing`s fine I`m torn I`m all out of faith, this is how I feel I`m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed into something real I`m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn You`re a little late, I`m already torn So I guess the fortune teller`s right I should have seen just what was there And not some Holy light But you crawled beneath my veins and now I don`t care I have no luck ,I don`t miss it all that much There`s just so many things that I can`t touch I`m torn I`m all out of faith, this is how I feel I`m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed into something real I`m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn You`re a little late, I`m already torn torn ooh~~~~ oooh~~~ There`s nothing where he used to lie My inspiration has run dry That`s what`s going on Nothing`s fine I`m torn I`m all out of faith, this is how I feel I`m cold and I am shamed ,lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed into something real I`m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn I`m all out of faith, this is how I feel I`m cold and I am shamed, Bound and broken on the floor You`re a little late, I`m already torn~ torn~ ah~~~ oh~! instrumental till end
Rachel is really beautiful now but i will always prefer her old style. I dont know why she changed it, it was really original and i absolutely loved itttt!!!! totally miss old rachel, nothing wrong with new rachel but it doesnt feel like her. MISS OLD GLEE CLUB :(((((((
I don’t know if anybody else picked up on this, but I noticed a difference in the Rachel’s voices. The one that starts has a more crisp and firm Voice, almost jaded. The one that joins in is a much softer season one Rachel. Their voices are different. And then the old Rachel is wearing white and the new Rachel is wearing black. It’s like she’s “Dark Rachel”. Their voices are different though. Anyone else notice?? So cool.
At times it's very hard to let go of who you once were, I guess as we grow we become less naive and thats good, but at times, boy do i miss being as idealistic as when I was younger, I searched for this song because, this right here is how I feel right now, but I don't know which version of myself I prefer anymore.
