[Liv-uzdz]

"Hi, I´m Kurt Hummel and I´ll be auditioning for the role of ... NYADA Student" THAT REFERENCE was way too much for

[karinporter]

Anybody remember "hello I'm Kurt Hummel and I'll be auditioning for the role of kicker ". Lol. Who wants to bet that he's thinking about Blaine when singing this song.

[VultureAndCheetah]

still think is crazy how he KILLED his first audition and even Carmen said it was great, but he didn't get into NYADA. While Rachel choke and messed up his audition, cried and begged to her, but she did got in. That I'll never forgive. Chris made me cry with this song btw

[juneyamagata]

Glee introduced me to sooo many broadway songs. And I think Kurt's voice was truly made for broadway. Love this performance. His singing was so effortless. Chris Colfer should make a broadway cover album.

[dlmbs]

Hi I'm Kurt Hummel and I am auditioning for the role of... NYADA student. Awwww Kurt!

[ilovebts]

One of his best solos, if not the best.

[Hannah]

Beautiful slap in the face from Kurt here to Carmen - "Oh you didn't think I had depth? Bitch, let me sing one of the three songs you mentioned you hear too many times and let me SLAY IT better than anyone you've ever heard"

[Treetop]

As much bs it is that Kurt didn’t get in with his original audition, that dumb plot point did get us this amazing performance, so it’s not all bad

[laurenh.]

"hi im kurt hummel and I'll be auditioning for the role of... nyada student"
ok kurt is adorable

[iamsofia]

It's even better if you remember the fact that Carmen said before Kurt's first audition that she heard "being alive" way to much during her castings for NYADA just like " music of the night" . And yet Kurt managed it to put in so much emotion that he got accepted at NYADA. Definetly one of the best solos in the whole show!

Kurt
Before singing: Super akward and nervous
Singing: Powerful and Confident
After singing: Shy and adorable

[Alyverse_asmr_audios]

I love his lower register, but this... wow. Kurt deserved all the applause.

[SunnyBlueBlue]

What really gets me is Kurt's shock at the applause he receives. Like he's so surprised that they recognize his talent.

[kylasuttles]

this is by far one of if not his best performance on the whole show, he doesn't sing in his head voice which is the one that people make fun of, he uses his chest voice which I love. such an underrated performance.

[kkheflin]

From a scared young teen singing Mr. Cellophane to Fabulous.

[beccawilliams]

Love this performance, but doesn’t this give off a weird message? He auditions for NYADA with “Not the Boy Next Door” because it’s something fresh, original, and true to Kurt. And he doesn’t get in. But then he sings this song “Being Alive” even though Carmen Tipadeaux said this and his original audition, Music Of the Night, song were the most common and overdone songs. And Kurt gets accepted.

[barbaramellen]

Said it before, I'll say it again, again and again his vibrato gives me goosebumps. The fullness, richness of his highs and lows are hard to comprehend let alone duplicate. BEAUTIFUL!

[lindathetford]

I have said it once a few years ago and I will say it again his performance was amazing here I was literally shaking and crying in my seat during this performance it was just so beautiful and when he hit the high note I just wow so many memories for this! Chris is not only attractive and an adorable little bean but he is so very talented

[SymphonyBrahms]

This is the best performance of this song that I have ever seen or heard. He just gets to you. Inside your heart. Wow!
If I was a Broadway director, I'd star Chris in a big musical!

[ghostbeast_]

Seeing his overwhelmed tears at the end made me tear up! One of Kurt’s best performances
