Glee Cast - On My Own

[CeilXBleu]

I was so lost after I lost somebody I cared for and I heard this and it was like my dark world had a little light added back to it.

[ribbitgrl]

@Gleek1able I'm afraid that's what they'll have to do (as I have absolutely no confidence that TSwift can learn in a matter of weeks the skills it took Lea years to learn to be able to sing this song as beautifully as she does). What makes me nervous is that they could have the singer sign a confidentiality agreement regarding the arrangement, and TSwift could get award accolades because of it. We can only hope she turns down the role.

[rockstar8781fantage]

will someone please explain how this isnt pure talent???

[soccerchic365]

HOW did Taylor Swift get Eponine and Lea didnt! PLEASE tell me!

[4evaflyleaf]

how says she cant sing Gah I agree with @tohearyourecho you can say what you want but she can sing damn and this is what she auditioned for glee with

[Gleek1able]

@4evaflyleaf What you say to people who say that.. - without you glee, my man glee, tonight glee, one hand one heart glee. Now upload a video of you singing those and we'll compare and contrast. lol

[4evaflyleaf]

@Gleek1able I know right GAH people have nothing better to do with thier lives

[BeaustonGirl]

When things like this are on the internet as proof of what Lea is capable of, Why the FUCK is Taylor Swift in negotiations for the role of Eponine?! Not saying it wouldn't be hilarious to see her trying to hit these notes, but not at the expense of Les Mis! ugh...I'm so incredibly aggravated right now...I can't.

[LizaMMX]

@BeaustonGirl Exactly what I came here to say! Not to mention SHE PLAYED EPONINE ON BROADWAY!!!

[LizaMMX]

@BeaustonGirl (hit the post button by mistake, sorry) Casting Taylor Swift as Eponine is like casting Justin Beiber as Alex Delarge in an A Clockwork Orange reboot and turning the "I'm Singin' in the Rain" scene into a fucking pop ballad!!!

[BeaustonGirl]

@LizaMMX Someone who understands!!! Thank you!

[MidoriFlygon]

WTF!? How did she not get the role!?

[koreanboy221]

@MidoriFlygon i know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coronadogrl]

Taylor Swift got the role of Eponine in the new movie. Like what? No. Just no.

[Gleek1able]

@Coronadogrl Hope they can have someone else singing while Taylor just stands there mouthing the words. The only reason they picked Taylor is cause she'll bring in all her fans.

[TheBrentthurman]

i rember when our school put this on, our eponine was amazing, but this verson put her to same, this song is the perfect song for her character and honestly i hope she gets the part eponine

[RandomChara]

I hope she gets the role of Eponine in the movie

[lghedger]

I love this song, I know all the words. This song is the best song Rachel did!

[thesinginggirlable]

First song Rachel sang on glee :)

[naved444]

This was actually her audition song to be on Glee. Jussayin.

[SavannahBurns1424]

this is pretty darn great

[kimblesxoxo]

she sounds beautiful.

[soccerchic365]

i really dont want Lea Michele to be in just musicals. but of all the musicals, she HAS to be in this one.

[TheYousirname]

@soccerchic365 lol, she was, she played the character who sings this, whose name is escaping me at the moment, and also young cosette. theres some good vids of her singing this in Les Miz :)

[TheYousirname]

@TheYousirname Eponine! lol, thats who she played

[NarwhalsAreBeast123]

I prefer Samantha Barks,

She's more into it.

[NarwhalsAreBeast123]

I love glee...but I really think Lea butchered some of the high notes..

[HCRfan18]

I think this is a lovely version and Glee did the song justice, but this song is sung by a heartbroken street-girl, and it sounds like a Broadway star is singing it. Maybe if Lea Michelle had sang it with more emotion that we all know she has, it would have made the song a bit better.

Love it anyways. :) Long live glee!

[springopene]

it is beautiful i don give a damn if people think glees gay its not they just dont know musical talent

[TheKatHan101]

I am sitting here thinking "PLEASE dont ruin this ohhhh please dont... and she really is good! Surprising! (I am in Glee Club at school and this TV show is not anywhere near real life--but at least it's entertaining.

[Gleek1able]

Lets all hope our girl gets the role in the TV adaptation! She's against Taylor Swift and some other people - the winner will be singing this song! -

[Eonwie]

@Gleek1able Tailor Swift??? no, I has to be Lea

[jgragland7]

Lea Michele is my singing idol!!!! 

[princesspony13]

i love this song so much. i have loved this one guy since 4th grade but he dosent notice me. he does but barley. were in 7th grade now and go to different schools i saw him recently at home depot when i was with my friend we passed him and he grabbed my upper arm and spun me around and we started talking and my heart got all jittery and then my friends phone went off and it was this song. and now i feel like i will never see him again. :(

[sdtuber123]

Ugh i don't care about Bing.

[soccerchic365]

this is the best that Rachel has ever sounded!

[tohearyourecho]

To say Lea Michele isn't talented is absolutely ludicrous. Sure say you don't like Glee but c'mon seriously? Saying she can't sing? I honestly have no words in response to someone who says that. Besides maybe "get your ears checked."

[quemeimport2]

beautiful!

[GForceChipmunks]

@tybashdracistfaggot Just saying, she has to record the vocals before she lip syncs them... so that is her singing. Just letting you know.

[juxmook]

@tybashdracistfaggot Um....have you even heard her sing on Broadway? Or are you just so fucking stubborn that you refuse to believe that someone else other than Salonga did this song justice? Grow up.

[violinandglee]

@tybashdracistfaggot umm PLZ go away! look them up live... it is very good. you are so rude -__- go away plz. thanks & have a good life.

-me

[Gleek1able]

@tybashdracistfaggot You make no sense.. Broadway takes talent.. and really Lea Salonga? Lea is breaking out in more ways then just Broadway.. she will be or already is better known than her... After her role on New Years Eve she will be.. She can sing.. and you're an idiot if you think otherwise.

[teensrising]

@tybashdracistfaggot @samanthaaalovexo then gtfo of the song.

[dannerzme]

:) love it :)

[samanthaaalovexo]

All I can hear is her voice over in the background from the pilot when I listen to this.

[jrsfour]

i luv this song! i luv les mis also!

[springopene]

wow shes great this is an amazing song i loveeeeeeeeeeee this song.



[amberbabiex3]

her voice is so beautiful.<3

[swankified7]

Lea Salonga and Lea Michele - two amazing people i look up to, singing this amazing song...

*standing ovation*

:)

[Gleek1able]

@swankified7 YES! I hate when people compare them.. I'm pretty sure Micheles pitch is higher. Another thing since we seem to have common views.. do you not feel the emotion? Because I always do.

[swankified7]

@Gleek1able yeah, i think she emotes well - but i guess some people don't, whatever, to each their own...

[xXhelakilaXx]

i cannot believe Glee did Les mis. songs! absolutely amazing. beautiful. especially fitting, since Rachel was on Broadway when she was younger. i love it!:)

[technounsavvy]

@xXhelakilaXx  She was actually on Broadway not long ago for Spring Awakening.

[springopene]

the song is better but should could have put a lot of emotion other wise she has a beautiful voice

[Gleek1able]

@springopene Honestly you don't understand emotion. She emotes amazingly. I get tears some parts I can feel her emotion so much. To get emotion you have to just relax and listen not look for things that are wrong, when your looking for emotion you don't find it, you have to feel it.

[isingfashion]

This kind of reminds me of when she sang My Man in "Funeral"

[soccerchic365]

@isingfashion thats my favorite song from her! second fav is Dont Rain on My Parade

[erin64967]

OMGLEE! luv it lea!

[EscapeTheFateCRAIG]

Season 3 premiers next Tuesday ;D

[happythunder3]

Why the hell is Ke$ha in the suggestions?

[juxmook]

oh fuuuuck. That was orgasmic

[inspirationhug]

in a school musical production of Les Mis, I played Eponine. (: but no matter what, i'm not half as great as Lea Michele.. No matter what though, i look up to Lea as a role model and love this song very much!!

[lghedger]

this is my fave song

[pantherpatty]

faved :)

[DeadVacum]

I lov this song

[DeadVacum]

I lov this song

[lovegleeandpotter]

oh I love him but only on my own...<3

[CloverSunstarRC]

Such a good play! this is my favorite song from the play, love the cover, too.

[shaylie6422]

Lea Michele is the master Les Miserables... and pretty much every other type of music :)

[pantherpatty]

@shaylie6422

i <3 Lea. she is the the Les Mis mistress.

[emilye3]

ive never seen les miserables.....

[wannabonbroadway1]

@pRettygiRl408 i agree. michele sounds really great but i think salonga has a certain spark about her.

[ericaxelectricxshock]

honestly, i think Lea Michele did this song better than Lea Salonga. I think she has better range and more feeling in her singing. I absolutly love both singers tho.

[pRettygiRl408]

@ericaxelectricxshock I agree, I love both but I loved Lea Salonga's version better! I just feel as though her emotion is more genuine and she sings the song correctly. Lea Michele adds her own twist to it, which is great! But I prefer Salonga's :]

[wannabonbroadway1]

i'm a huge les mis fan, and lea did a good job... but lea salonga is way better :)

[EscapeTheFateCRAIG]

The first song Rachel ever sang on Glee ♥

[ashj6094]

@EscapeTheFateCRAIG I think she made an amazing first impression. haha

[EscapeTheFateCRAIG]

@ashj6094 I think so too lol

[kngroo94]

@EscapeTheFateCRAIG also the song she auditioned with!

[EscapeTheFateCRAIG]

@kngroo94 YES!:)

[dlcshan]

So, would I get beat up for admitting that I've never seen Les Mis but fell in love with this song from hearing Katie Holmes do it on Dawson's Creek?

[GleeIsLifeYo]

28 people are jealous that they can't sing as amazingly as Lea Michele!

[Thebubblepop88]

I can sooooo relate to this song.

[ZeeRefusesYou]

I just have to add that her voice has grown so much since then. I'm proud of Lea (:

[xclaimer365]

get sterilized...lol

[brightman818]

this song is what made me discover musicals. thank god for glee. <3

[iheartlesmis]

My favorite Les Miserables song, and my favorite Glee song. :) <3

[vampirediaries1227]

I love to sing this song, Lea Michele is amazing! :)

[mandmgirl91]

im learning to play this on the piano i wish there are challengin piano sheets for this beautiful song, lea does an amzing job , i should challenge myself considerin i been playing several years now haaha

[GlitzyGirl97]

[jaraandrew100]

not used to this version. god, glee used to be so good.

[maddancer1002]

what episode was this song from?!

[LyricLingo]

@maddancer1002

The very first episode in season one.

Rachel auditioned for the Glee clup with this song.

So; 1x1

[xHigexLovex]

@maddancer1002 I think it's the pilot episode. She sings it for her audition.

[ZOMGtisHEATHER]

This is the one song sung by Lea Michelle that I think she didn't butcher!

[minnecoachman]

@ZOMGtisHEATHER LOL - there hasn't been, nor will there be, a song that she does butcher...not with a voice like she's been blessed with.

[devonferris]

Is it true that Lea Salonga might make a cameo on GLEE?

[keristly]

I hear her whispering, I am for SAM!!

[alltimelow4eva100]

i love les miserables so i clicked on the video thinking i was going to criticize but this is amazing and im not upset with it at all

[awesomegirl1point1]

I just raped the 'replay' button......

[EpicCelloGirl]

It doesn't matter who sings this song. I still gets goosebumps

:)

[doesitmatter94]

im IN LOVE with LEA MICHELE!

[thegreatparade12]

[ilovehamtaro1998]

[Blinchik91]

I performed this years ago as a solo cuz i was eponine in my schools production of Les Mes <3 brings back memories!

[ThatGirlNamedMeg]

this is my first favorited youtube video on this new Chanel i have lol

[Kabasan21]

is it sad that a 250# MMA fighter cried in the theatre last night? Oh well. The picture is a bit bigger today.

[sokkerking12345]

Lea Salogna does it better. Juuuust sayin.

[Doughnut527]

if you live in new york, this is a nyssma song! i've heard this song a million times lol but it's so good

[AnimeStargrl15]

@Doughnut527

You do NYSSMA, too? Cool! Did you do this song? I was going to do this last year, but I ended up doing 'Someone Like You' instead. :/ I regret that now, because I love singing this song now.

[Doughnut527]

@AnimeStargrl15 haha no im a guy... but w.e

[AnimeStargrl15]

@Doughnut527

OMG I'm so sorry! What did you sing for NYSSMA though? What level are you this year? I'm level 5.

[Doughnut527]

@AnimeStargrl15 lol idc i would think im a girl too if i saw that comment, but i went on level 4 sang on the street where you live from my fair lady

[AnimeStargrl15]

@Doughnut527

That's cool. I sang 'My White Knight' (soprano version) from the Music Man.

[hate00u]

OMFG, IM GANNA PERFORM THIS SONG AS A SOLO, AND WOW, IM PUMPED :D

[PeacePuffz123]

;)

[x3summerchick]

I am in love with les mis! she did so good (:

[funnygurlz666]

[msbebebabe11]

[innahrox]

what ep is this from

[MajorStuffs]

@innahrox The first. :3

[Guitarnut57]

@innahrox the very first one. this was her audition song

[1419sunnyside]

i think she did a pretty good job in singing this song.

[jennbrown16]

I've been a fan of les mis for years upon years and hearing this? just made me so happy, b/c she sings this so well, I will have this on repeat until I'm sick of it, which I doubt I will lol btw, GLEE ROCKS!!

[Rolypoly827]

I like how they don't even mention that it's from Les Miserables... Stupid Glee.

[OneBroadwayDay]

@Rolypoly827 Actually, Rachel says, "...Singing On my own from the seminal classic, Les Miz." Thank you.

[Rolypoly827]

@OneBroadwayDay

Well it is not acknowledged in this youtube video of it. Sorry.

[juxmook]

@Rolypoly827 Yeah they do. :|

[TheYellowpeopleeater]

@AnkneeCakes that's how many people disliked this video.

[rhaligrace]

Songs like this make me pray that Lea will go back to Musical theatre after glee- With Wicked still open (so she can be Elphaba- as she's the only one in my mind who could match Idina) or if it's closed, she can always be Eponine- after 25 years I don't think it's going to close anytime soon, and she's still young enough to play Eponine... though it will be quite a contest between her and Lea Salong for best Eponine..... Glee has So much talent, They AREN"T autotuned. <3

[TackyNames]

@rhaligrace I think she may be touring for Les Miserable's 25th anniversary this 2011 year. I could be wrong though.

[mcm5kaitlyn]

@rhaligrace Actually some of it is autotuned. Mostly Cory's singing if any autotune has to be done, but practically NEVER Lea's.

[BeiriBeiri]

She has a ver sweet voice for this song but it's still passionate.

[maiashafgirlwildlark]

Cool string section that they added.

[xoxoavi8annaxoxo]

I can relate to this so much , she sings it wonderfully

[SuperGleek246]

The musicals AMAZING! Glee is so damn entertaining and i love it! also damn this is a really depresing song! :( damn everyone needs to get happy

[aubreyolive]

WHERE can i find this version with the strings to download?

[MorganTmusic4life]

@aubreyolive itunes has a really nice version. not exactly like this, but still nice

[bonzoboie]

I wander what the number of the people who watch this have even scene the show. Its not hard they have the 10th anniversary addition on here. Everyone really should watch the whole show, Everyone can take something from the show and it is just damn entertaining.

[goude3]

@bonzoboie The 25th anniversary addition was just on PBS a few days ago. I'm pretty sure it was put up here too....

[pentex128]

If you like this, please check out my channel for a little town in NJ's production of Les Miserables. We put it on in 2010 , all live, tons of mic problems, no voice lessons, just real live Bway love. I was fortunate enough amongst much talent, to play Fantine, my dream role and I miss her. There's a few Les Mis videos there so I hope you can stop by and see one school's dream coming true (the school that BonJovi went to btw, Sayreville, NJ) Thank you GLEE for honoring the best Bway show ever

[drumlip]

God I love this song. I love this musical. Glee's pretty cool too.

[xlHawkeyelx]

She does a good job of doing songs like On My Own and Defying Gravity (Kudos to Chris Colfer)

[TheRealmsOfGold]

This is one of the great musical theatre ballads of the latter twentieth century. I still like Sondheim better overall, but this is a really well-written song. Also, I like this recording much better than either the OBC or OLC recordings—this interpretation is clearer and more straightforward than that of either of those actresses. Brava!

[TheSunshineAverey]

I raped the replay button

[TheFasionFreak101]

I like Lea Michele and i respect that she was in Les Miserables, i just don't like this rendition of it

[TheFasionFreak101]

no, why would u think that? i just don't like her rendition to it....:)

[PurpleAndSparkly96]

You all realize Lea Michele was in Les Miserables, right?

I think that gives her a good right to sing it lol Not like your

opinion is gonna stop her from singing it anyways.

[alsedame]

@TheFasionFreak101 Lol. do you own the rights to the song or something?

get out of here. lmao.

[YCAT7]

I'm not a glee fan, but i'm definitely a les miserables fan, and glee did a good job.

[MsMaggot13]

@YCAT7 thats becouse the person that sings this song is lea michele and she was in les miserables

[katamari117]

Okay, so i'm not a fan of glee, not by a long shot, but this impressed me.

[alexastar2244]

lovee thiss songg so muchh and lea michelle singss it alot better than the original on broadwayy. thats my personal opinion. lovee thiss songg!!!! i alsoo lovee glee too!!

[Jgirl104]

I love this song so much and I love Glee :)

[Tabbers16]

when was this in the show
