Blaine performed his dance number to Total Eclipse Of The Heart (
watch)first in class seeing that he would leave soon after. He nailed the partnering, the lifts could have been better but he still got an 8 out of 10 on it. He was smiling when he got to the auditorium and sat happily next to Sam and Tina. Kurt and Rachel walked in Rachel whispering, “good morning Tony.” As she walked by. She put a finger over her lips and winked at him. Everyone arrived faster today then the day before.
“Tina, you’re up.” Will said from the back.
Tina walks up the stairs singing before the music drops. The 11 students were so amazed by the notorious back up Singer they gave her a standing ovation to her performance of hung up (
Watch)by Madonna.
“That’s the power of Madonna.” Santana said loudly as everyone returned to their seats.
“Tina, before you go, tell me why you picked that number?” Shuester asked.
“Because I might be a golden star back up dancer to everyone else but in my eyes I’m just as good as Santana or Rachel, only with out the confidence. Madonna is the best confidence booster I know so that’s what happened.” She said receiving the nod to leave the stage.
“Finn.” Tibideaux said, “you’re turn.”
Finn took Rachel to the stage with him and put on a fake pair of glasses, " I love acting so much, but I never show it, so id want to do more work in Theater, Rachel is hear to help me song Damnit Janet."(
Watch)
Blaine watched fin with a grin on his face, wwhy didnt he try out for West Side Story. Finn was a great actor and he and Rachel(though they were fighting) were a perfect pair.
Blaine realized he was minutes away from letting Kurt know he wasn’t ready to give up.
“Quinn.” Carmen called next.
Quinn was out of her uniform for the first time since Blaine started and boy did she look good. A sparkling black floor length gown with her hair in a tight bun. She sung Never Can Say Goodbye (
Watch) and looked beautiful doing so. She like brittany said she was exactly where she wanted to be, no exceptions.
“Blaine.” Carmen had a smile dancing around her lips that she refused to show as Blaine walked on stage.
“I’m still pretty new here but so far I’ve sung songs I don’t normally sing, big popular male dominated song. Yes, I love Broadway and theater but I need my female anthems just as much as the next and there isn’t a better woman then miss Katy Perry, here's Mannequin.” Blaine said. He heard the band start and all the girls swoon.
“How do I get
Closer to you
When you keep
It all on mute
How will I know
The right way
To love you
Usually the queen
Of figuring out
Breaking down a man
Is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get
Through to you” Kurt looked up at Blaine and smiled.
“I wanna hit you
Just to see
If you cry
I keep knocking on wood
Hoping there’s
A real boy inside
But you’re not a man
You’re just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real”
"But you’re not a man" Blaine started acting out walking around the stage singing to some other guys.
“I wish
I could just
Turn you on
Put a battery in
And make you talk
Even pull
A string for you
To say anything.”
"But with you
There is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch
Of broken parts
And I can’t seem
To find your heart
I’m such a fool
I’m such a fool
I’m such a fool
Cause this one’s
Outta my hands
I can’t put you
Back together again.”
“Cause you’re not a man
You’re just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
You’re just a toy
Could you ever be
A real, real boy
And understand
But you’re not a man.” Blaine looked to Kurt and sung softly.
"If the past is the problem,
our future could solve them, baby
I could bring you to life
if you let me inside, baby
It’ll hurt
but in the end,
you’ll be a man
Cause you’re not a man
You’re just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
And understand
That you’re not a man”
Blaine finished and accepted the applause bowing before he left the stage.
“Brittany.”
“Well, I love dancing, and singing sometimes. Everyone knows that though.” She said taking off a trench coat to revealed a memorable costume one Brittney spears wore almost 10 years ago.
She sung and danced to I’m a slave for you(
Watch). Normally she is dancing with so many others she stands out but to see her alone on the stage was beautiful. She was going to go very far as a dancer.
“Santana.”
Santana brought a chair up with her and made Brittany sit. “I love to sing ballads, but only when I’m in love.” Santana said as Brad began to play the piano she sung Songbird (
Watch)to Brittany. Blaine watched with jealousy, he wanted to sing ballad, tear up at the end and know, that no matter what he and his boyfriend were made for each other. At the end, the girls wiped their tears and walked off stage together.
“Kurt.”
Kurt walked up to the stage and started singing As If We Never Said Goodbye(
Watch). Blaine love it, it didn’t have the knife twirling, gold pants wearing, big bright spot light Kurt normally did, but he also wasn’t showing off his voice like the gala. It was simple and beautiful. When he finished everyone stood and clapped. “My first year hear I had to scream, and shout to get noticed and I lost track of how beautiful simplicity was. I’d love to tone it down. I doubt I will.” Kurt smiled and walked off the stage.
“Rachel.”
Rachel stepped on stage and listened to the piano play for a second. Everyone looked at each other as don’t stop believing(
Watch) played in a piano melody and just like that Rachel turned an 80’s rock song into a musical number no one would soon forget.
Kurt, Tina and Finn were dowopping in their chairs making Rachel grin. At the end, she skilled as everyone clapped. “I think we all know I’m well rounded enough to do any song, but since Mr shue started glee 3 years ago I have been wanting to sing that song again. Glad I finally had a chance.” She said.
“Thank you all. I may call you out of class today, these performances were all marked as official as if your SPS changes you will find out by today.” Tibideaux said walking out the auditorium.
Blaine quickly left to his English class and wedged himself between two students just to avoid Kurt. This was not what he had in mind for his life. Kurt noticed it, he expected it but there was something about not seeing Blaine smile that made him regret it.
