personally, I'm getting tired of Chris Colfer showing off the fact that he can sing like a woman, week after week.
OK - we get it. You're gay, and you have a high voice. Have you anything else to offer?

Chris sounds far better within a somewhat lower range...as in "I Want To Hold Your Hand." I think that is by far his best vocal performance so far.
I'm a big fan of "Le Jazz Hot" within the context of "Victor/Victoria" (which was written for the movie and should have at least been nominated for a Best Song Oscar, although it did win for Song Score), but kinda cringed at even the thought of "Glee" tackling it.
And Jon, that comment was really unnecessary. Stopping at saying you don't like his voice would have been more than enough.

Next month he'll be doing his one woman musical version of BOYS IN THE BAND. Yknow, to show off his range.

"I'd have liked it better if he hadn't just restaged it like the film"
I actually like that they did something different. It felt very "Chicago, The Movie" to me. I loved it, plus it was a part of the plot, he decided to do a duet by himself. In Victor/Victoria, it's a whole different plot.

Posted: 10/26/10 at 8:48amI gotta admit for the most part I just have not warmed up to the stuff Chris Coffers sings on the show, but I got to admit, I really did enjoy 'Le Jazz Hot'.
