— Chris Colfer (via mia-the-minion)
” Every year in high school, we’d have this talent show, and every year I’d beg to sing “Defying Gravity” and every year they turned me down because I was a boy and they said it was a girl’s song; and every year I protested, saying that there are no lyrics that indicate gender specification whatsoever, but they’d still turn me down. “
Chris Colfer
Remember that time when Chris Colfer sang this song on Glee, and all those people felt like idiots?
Kurt: Dad, I have known who I was since I was five. I adapted. Being different made me stronger. At the end of the day, it’s what’s gonna get me out of this cow town. You never had to do that.
Burt: I can handle myself just fine.
Kurt: No, you can’t. Not about this. That phone call yesterday was just the beginning, especially if I get up in front of a thousand people to sing a girl’s song. When I saw you, right after you got the call, and you were so hurt, and so upset. It just killed me. I’m not saying I’m gonna hide in the closet. I’m proud of who I am. I’m just saying that I love you more than I love being a star.
Apparently, for better or worse, this will be the last season of Kurt Hummel on Glee. As a huge Chris and Kurt fan, I’d like to write about what I find meaningful in Kurt’s story, Chris’ performances, and the way that the character Kurt Hummel and the performer Chris Colfer are linked together, not through similarities, but through counterpointing moments in their stories. Wheels is an obvious place to start because it provides the most salient example of this. If you are trying to explain the cultural phenomenon and significance of Kurt Hummel to someone in a single episode, this is the episode that you need to go to.
(I admit that I’m also trying to create a spell for season 3: maybe if I call upon all of the elements that have made this show significant for me, I’ll get to see a final season that is rich with these elements. That sounds very superstitious, but it’s worth a try :)
Oh, and, yeah, this is lengthy …
1. Wicked Kurt Hummel as Elphaba
“Defying Gravity”? I have an iPod shuffle dedicated exculsively to the selections from Wicked.
