Chris Colfer (Kurt) returns to the solo spotlight with “As If We Never Said Goodbye” from Broadway’s Sunset Boulevard. Colfer’s vocals on this track are just stunning. The track is truly just absolute ear candy. I am hoping since Colfer’s character has now returned to the New Directions that we will be treated to a couple more solos before the season’s end.
When I found out that Glee was planning on using Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” for this episode, I thought the song was just too new to utilize for the show. But, what do I know anyway, since this song fit this week’s episode like a glove. With Colfer, Amber Riley (Mercedes), and Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) on lead vocals, Gaga’s “Born This Way” was hit with a dose of attitude and sass—Glee-style. I am all for uptempo group numbers, and “Born This Way” delivers in a big way.
I think this week’s bundle of Glee music may just be the best of the season, or at least a close second after the music from the episode “Never Been Kissed.” Hats off to Glee’s music producers and music supervisors; the song choices and overall production were very much on point this week.
The music from “Born This Way” is available now on iTunes.
Glee airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Good observations about the Born This Way episode and songs. I loved the episode, song choices, and plot developments. It was inspiring and fun stuff.
