4x17: Guilty Pleasures

Here's what you missed on Glee: Kurt and Bruce are totally exclusive, Rachel seemed very okay with knowing that her friends\ ex-boyfriend think that there is no reason for her to know about Brody, Sam continues to be an awesome human being and Kitty turned out to be human after all.

This is the first time the quick recap in the beginning of the episode stops me. They pretty much implied that Blaine's crush on Sam has been a continuous thing since Sadie Hawkins. So he was still crushing on Sam but he slept with Kurt? Sure, Glee, whatever you say. Most of the Blam scenes were so good. I was very upset that we never got a closure for the crush and I'm glad that we finally got them talking about it. I loved the smooth way they used to introduce the theme of the episode and Blaine just reminded me how much I love Blam with the way he just offered to help Sam. One question though: in the locker room scene, why did Blaine ask if Sam had feelings for him? That part was pulled out of thin air and was extremely awkward.

The part I had a problem with was Against All Odds. While the song was incredible, it made zero sense. It described Klaine perfectly but they made Blaine sing it to Sam? Blaine who only three episodes ago was telling Kurt that they will end up together, Blaine who just in the beginning of the episode was nearly reduced to tears and was making heart eyes at a macaroni art of Kurt, that same Blaine was now singing a song about a lost love to his best friend whom he had a mere crush on. Mixed signals, Glee. That was very upsetting for me because I enjoyed the song and Darren did such a good job with it. I'm just gonna imagine it with Klaine flashbacks now.

But I've already ranted about AAO so I'm not gonna do it again. Moving on, I LOVED the auditorium talk between Blam. Sam was so mature and respectful and understanding. That was a very good scene in my opinion. The hug and the breath mint thing was SO hilarious.
Kurt's scenes had so many implicit hints about Blaine that pushed the narrative forward and collaborated with the CWM fantasy and Kurt's words to Adam:

• Kurt bought the boyfriend pillow when he was on ambien. In Glease, he told Rachel that he was living on ambien and the Notebook. Basically, Kurt bought the pillow when he was lonely after he broke up with Blaine.
• He named it Bruce, a name that starts with a B and ends with an E. Mmm, I wonder what other name starts with B and ends with E. Anyone?
• Kurt is still cuddling the pillow, even now when he has a boyfriend\someone he is dating\ whatever the hell Adam is.
• Kurt afraid that, god forbid, Blaine will find out about Bruce.
• Kurt singing 'I will never let you go' then throwing the hoop with Blaine being the one to catch it in Mamma Mia. This was the only 'interaction' between Lima and New York.

Conclusion: sorry, Adam. Looks like your quest to find the sappiest love movie failed miserably. Otherwise, Kurt would be cuddling you, instead of being exclusive with Bruce.

Last episode, I had no problem with Santana calling Finn to confront Brody. Didn't think it was necessary but whatever. What changed my mind was the way it was addressed in this episode. Did Rachel actually thank Santana for 'calling Finn to defend her honor'? Very bad choice of words, Glee. They are dealing with this whole mess as if Rachel was a secondary character, not the only one who actually have a right to know. She is not a child or weak, Rachel Berry is a damn force of nature. I get that Santana went behind Rachel back in investigating Brody because Rachel just didn't want to see that something was wrong, and I get Kurt not wanting Rachel to know until after her Funny Girl audition, but they sidelined her so much that Santana had the nerve to tell her what to do and that she is NOT getting back with Brody. Sorry, that was not right and I kinda wanted to slap Santana for it. Rachel should have raged at them for not even bothering to tell her something that big.

Confronting Brody at NYADA was kinda strange, not to mention totally inappropriate considering that Rachel called him a hooker when the students that were in the room was actually still there. Safe to say that the entire student body of NYADA knows about Brody now. Also, they finally addressed the fact that Rachel doesn't have a job but not only is she doing okay financially, she also managed to afford to change her entire wardrobe. I think Chris Colfer was the one who talked about this in I Heart Glee. Nice touch, guys. Have to say that I didn't like Creep at all. Not vocally or visually. It felt like the only reason they had the confrontation at NYADA was that they could run in the halls. It was just weird.

I liked the energy in Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Wannabe. WMUBYGG was just incredible and Sam and Blaine were adorable. it's one of my favorite performances. Wannabe had a good vibe but I didn't like it very much vocally. Also, I think that Tina and Unique should have swapped places. Not because Unique is black but because Baby Spice couldn't be more wrong for her. She just looked forced and weird and Tina as Scary Spice was plain.

The Chris Brown\ Bobby Brown dilemma was well explained and played but I still don't know how I feel about the question Jake asked. Should we separate the art from the artist? I don't think that many people would be able to do that, it's just human nature. But he made a very good argument and I'm gonna take some time to think about this. I didn't like the way the girls booed at him though. Even if they didn't like his choice, they have talked about it and he explained where he was coming from. They had no right to do that. It looked like they were trying to force their opinion on him which just isn't right.

Dare I say that I ship Kartie? I never understood Pitty and I don't think I'll ever will. Kitty was actually tolerable and a part human in that episode and I liked it. Hope Glee doesn't just drop it like they did with Bartie and Sugar\ Artie (do they even have a ship name?)

Against All Odds

Remember how a couple of days ago I was telling people not to be upset about AAO and how it just CAN'T be about Sam? Yeah, RIB just punched us in the face and as far as I'm concerned, ruined a perfectly good song that would have held a huge impact and message for the Klaine relationship.

I have so many problems with AAO and the talk after it that I don't know where to begin. That scene just upset me so damn much for so many reasons:

1. The song clearly talks about an established relationship that has hit a bump. The singer is in pain because he let his love leave and is yearning for him. He knows that the chance of them reconciling is slim but that a chance he's willing to take. So how on earth does this fit Blam exactly?
2. It is very angsty and emotional. Are we supposed to buy that Blaine's emotions for Sam are that strong when they have stressed a million time that it was just a crush? There is no way for Blaine to be feeling this deeply for Sam.
3. The lyrics can't be more unfitting. It is a song about not letting go. Why is Blaine singing this to Sam exactly? Why is he singing about hanging onto Sam when he clearly isn't doing so? In the auditorium conversation, Blaine was concerned that the crush would cost him Sam's friendship and he was relieved that this wasn't the case. He wasn't heartbroken that Sam didn't feel the same. He was just relieved that it's in the open and that Sam was okay with it. So why was he singing about hanging onto Sam again?
4. "You're the only one who really knew me at all", that line was the most upsetting for me. I LOVE Blam, they are my favorite bromance, hands down. But that line exaggerated their bond so much. Romantic relationship aside, Klaine were portrayed as best friends first and foremost and they've called one another "best friend" several times. It was a friendship that has been a constant since season 2. So sorry, but Sam isn't the one who really knew Blaine, Kurt is. Because no one knows Blaine better than Kurt.
5. The camera angles were maddening. They meant to cut from Blaine to Sam immediately to let us know that yes, Blaine is singing to\ about Sam. They could have easily just focused to Sam looking at Blaine, or made it look like Blaine was looking at the ND in general but no, they made sure that we all got it. It wasn't just Blaine singing about his emotions while looking at his friends. No, it was Blaine singing while looking straight at Sam as if singing to him. It would have been much better if Blaine was just singing and Sam misunderstood and thought it was about him. Why? Why would you exaggerate Blaine's feelings that much? It's a freaking crush, not a long lost love.
6. The setting was so similar to Teenage Dream and it hurt so freaking much. Because as much as I love Blam, Klaine have so much history that it felt like the writers are selling Klaine short by putting them in a comparison with Blam.
7. Why have Darren singing it live? I get why they did it with Teenage Dream, the emotions on Blaine's face and in his voice were impossible to portray through a recorded song but I couldn't find one single reason for doing it in AAO. Sure, it is an emotional song but the performance didn't have this mind-numbing, heartbreaking quality that existed in TD. So why the unexplained parallel?
8. The way Artie looked at Sam during the song, as if knowing that the song was about him. And Kitty shushing Tina afterwards as if she guessed it too. Glee was telling us that yes, the crush is so damn obvious that others noticed it. Another exaggeration.
9. Brittany was MIA during the performance. Can't have her here while having Blaine sing to her boyfriend, can we? Do they not realize how bad this looks? Even if Blaine had no intention of approaching Sam about the crush, even if the crush itself is so insignificant, singing a song like that to a taken man is bad taste.
10. Why on God's green earth would Tina put Blaine in such a tight spot? It was like she was forcing him to use Kurt as an excuse (which I also didn't like). It made no sense, especially since Tina actually knew about the crush. And to have Kitty of all people telling her to shut it. So basically, one of Blaine's close friends embarrassed him while the girl who stood up for him was someone whom I can't even recall him having a conversation with? Sure, Glee.

The sad part is I liked the episode very much. I liked the auditorium talk between Blaine and Sam and the way it was resolved. I liked the scene where Sam showed Blaine the Kurt art and the expression on Blaine's face. I liked all the bonding stuff between them. Kurt was priceless in all of his scenes and I loved all the little hints that Blaine still holds his heart. So why, Glee? Why take a song that screamed Kurt and make it about Sam?. And please don't tell me that Blaine was just projecting his feelings for Kurt onto Sam because that's not the way it looked. That's just our shipper hearts that had a collective heart attack when Blaine started singing to Sam. The song is beautiful and Darren did such an amazing job but the context ruined it.I have no idea what the hell they were thinking when they picked it but then, these are the same people who thought that 'Candles' was appropriate for a couple that just got together and 'Girls Wanna Have Fun' was the best way for a guy who just outed his friend to show his support for her.

Thoughts on Guilty Pleasure

I realize that this speculation might come across as over analytical but well, I do tend to over analyze things so you have my apologies for that.

The fandom has been in a panic since Guilty Pleasures promo came out with a part of the Blam scene that sounded like Blaine was asking Sam if he has feelings for him. Okay, let's all agree that Ryan Murphy's hobby is to troll the fandom and drive us all nuts. I think he's trying to jerk our chains in cutting the scenes in a way that makes it sound like there are "feelings" between Sam and Blaine, be them one sided or not.

In the promo, there is a pause in Blaine's sentence, between "you have" and "feelings for me", and it sounds like it might be different sentences, cut out of context to scare us. This is probably the crush talk part and how is it that we go from Blaine crushing on Sam in the past to asking if Sam has feelings for him? Blaine is over the crush, that was made clear in I Do when he was talking about how he and Kurt are gonna end up together. So why on earth would he ask about Sam's feelings for him?

The way I see it, this part could have two logical explanations:

• They discuss the crush and Blaine asks if the crush changes the way Sam feels about him, in fear that his friend will be upset\weirded out or something, or Blaine can be explaining where he was emotionally when he had the crush. The point is it'll be in the middle of a discussion.
• Or they will be talking about Kurt. There is a Klaine subtext in the episode, if the macaroni art and Against All Odds are any indication. Blaine could be telling Sam about their situation and wondering if Kurt still has feelings for him. I'm really leaning hoping towards this for some reason. Maybe because the look on Sam's face right after Blaine finishes his 'question' is the same one he had when Blaine was telling him about the cheating in Dynamic Duets. I may have dubbed this look as 'Sam's face when faced with a complicated Klaine situation'.

The other cause for panic was Against All Odds which some people interpreted as being addressed to Sam. Um, what? Just because Chord tweeted about being there doesn't mean that Blaine is suddenly singing it to Sam. I absolutely think that Blam will discuss Klaine ( Can't really believe that Sam making macaroni art of Kurt won't lead to that sort of discussion). Again, it could go two ways. Blaine could start to lose hope of reconciliation with Kurt and Sam steps in to tell him not to give up, or Sam will talk to Blaine about letting go of Kurt, something along the lines of "if you love someone, set him free" ( but Blaine won't be able to do it, judging from the last line of AAO). Both ideas explain why Sam was there during Against All Odds and it actually adds up to the narrative. But please, don't try to convince me that AAO is about Sam because it basically screams Kurt. And let's not forget that Blaine knows nothing about CWM or Kurt's talk with Adam, the only thing he knows is that Kurt kept insisting that they were just friends so maybe he'll start to believe that this is how Kurt feels for him.

AAO conveys both hope and despair at the same time which is what Blaine is feeling right now. He is in-between, forced to face the possibility that Kurt might not take him back but unable to let go of the love of his life. He's singing his heartache and devotion in one song. He is hung up on Kurt and he knows that but he can't stop himself. The setting and decor of the song also points to that direction. The lights that are making heart shapes on the curtains, the red warm light behind Blaine, the stage that is half lit, half dark, all of it creates a perfect harmony between the two emotions that are tearing Blaine apart and it reflects the lyrics of the song perfectly. Also, doing the song live indicates a powerful emotion that the show wants us to feel and that was reinforced through Darren's heartfelt rendition of the song. The only time they did this was Teenage Dream and that was one hell of a performance, who else would make Blaine so emotional that he'll lay his soul bare like this besides Kurt?

4x16: Feud

Here’s what you missed on Glee: Will regressed to the state of a mean, vindictive teenager, Finn pretty much knocked on the camera to tell us that he and Rachel will end up together, I’m starting a catalogue dedicated to the number of time the camera focused on Blaine’s butt this season, Santana became the voice of the fandom, telling Rachel that no one can recognize Rachel Berry anymore, you can cross Marley off the list of characters who haven’t given Finn a pep talk yet and thank you God for the proof that Blaine does in fact have parents.

Santana was just wonderful. I love the parts where they focus on her gentler side; especially that it's always accompanied with a snarky attitude. Her moving to New York was truly one of the best decisions RIB made. I love that she’s trying to resurrect the true Rachel Berry who seems to have disappeared. Wake up, Rach. We're finding it hard to reconcile the ambitious, driven force of nature that we have had a love-hate relationship with since season one with the strange character that replaced her in NY.

Kurt and Rachel kicking Santana out was harsh in my opinion. They just did it with no concern to where she would go and the only comment they had was about a pillow and a comforter? Also, it was very hypocritical of Rachel to use the “you’re making Brody uncomfortable” excuse when I remember Kurt being more than uncomfortable when her boyfriend was parading naked in the apartment. Also,  how much did you swoon over Santana calling Kurt and Rachel her family more than once?

Why are the writers convinced that telling us straight up that Rachel and Finn are gonna end up together is the way to go? There’s something called subtlety, guys. You don’t have to make Finn tell us that they are endgame or that Rachel is his future wife to convince us, you can easily do that through the story. Hell, Finn flying to NY to defend Rachel should have been enough to tell us that the spark is still there.

Were we supposed to feel bad for Brody? I really couldn't get a grasp on what they were trying to tell us here. That this is not who he is? that he doesn't want to do this? I seriously had trouble getting a read. I can believe that he doesn't want to do this but then, why do it in the first place? If you're so ashamed of it and hate then why do it? Can't really feel compassion for him when they didn't give us one logical reason.

 

Did anybody else think that Marley got out scout free in the whole kissing thing? Unique confronted Ryder about it leading to a feud and Jake wanted to shut Ryder out but the second Marley said sorry, all was forgiven and all the anger was directed at Ryder. She had just admitted that she knew that Ryder was into her and that she didn’t discourage him, not to mention that she said she let Ryder kiss her. I’m all for forgiving but then you should forgive both of them.

What happened between Marley and Ryder was truly none of Unique's business and she blew it out of proportion but his words were a low blow. If she didn't care what he thought and he didn't get to decide for her, why did she insist that he calls her a girl? His opinion doesn't matter anyway. I can respect him for wanting to let it go and offering his hand for a hand shake but his words clearly hurt her. I did respect him for his apology later. That scene was handled perfectly and it was very mature of all of them to own up to what they did and speak their minds freely. But I couldn't help but notice that Blaine was the only one not mentioned when Ryder was talking about the seniors graduating. Do I need to be worried, Ryan?

The award for the most successful person to make me want to hit him despite him being the victim last episode goes to: Will. He's a freaking adult and he resorted to childish actions and lecturing Finn on "not acting like he's above the kids" when Finn, you know, the teenager in the situation, was the one who wanted to talk. I can’t fault Will for saying that he couldn’t forgive Finn, forgiveness doesn't happen by a flick of a switch, but he should have been more mature in dealing with the situation. Also, it seems we're back to the good old days of Finn kicking a chair. He kicked things TWICE this episode.

It’s official, Blam are the most perfect friendship I've seen on Glee. Those two perfect boys are trying to end Sue’s reign of terror by the time they graduate. They won’t even be there to revel in it but they’re still doing it. Blaine, the guy who has Student Council, the ND, a million other different clubs, a NYADA audition and school work to worry about and Sam, who also has Student Council and ND, plus worrying about his SAT and college. They are giving time and effort to make the school better. I just love those two, okay?

The Sue Vs. Blaine scenes were hilarious and I couldn't get over the fact that Blaine was adopting a sort of military stance when he was standing in front of her in his uniform. The jab at Blaine’s helmet head was so good and their little “you’re looking into the face of evil” was amazing. And is it just me or did the writers decide to settle the fandom fight of who is the “top” between Blaine and Kurt with Blaine’s “it’s not true, not really". They’re basically telling us that they switch. Got it, writers, see how subtlety works for us. Just a little remark, Sue said that Blaine and Tina joined the Cheerios on December 5th when I remember clearly Finn saying in Swan Song that everyone joined different clubs within two days of their loss. Thanksgiving was on November 22^nd so shouldn’t that mean that Blaine and Tina joined on November 24^th? Get your dates right Glee.

Thank you, sweet merciful lord, that someone finally decided to take Sue down. This is the teacher who has been flinging students against walls, forcing them to give consent to be thrown out of a canon, leaking the Glee club set list, making a student make false accusation of sexual harassment against another teacher and now, forging a student's signature, taking a house loan and credit cards in his name and making a jab at his sexuality? Sorry, Sue. Looks like you're on Blam's radar and they are going to bring you down.

Musically speaking, I enjoyed most of the songs of the episode.

How To Be A Heart Breaker: I loved the audio version once I heard it but the visual was a so-so. The choreography was good in the lobby then they got to the stair case part. What the hell were they doing there exactly? I don't know what was it but the performance that started out okay turned to a very sketchy number, which I suppose was the point but it still made me uncomfortable.

Cold Hearted: I couldn’t help but picture Santana as a student at NYADA. I know that it doesn’t add up to her characterization and that she’s not a performing art school type of girl but she would kick ass there. Plus, it would be hilarious to see her and Cassie in a cat fight. The song was perfection, simply put.

I Still Believe\ Super Bass: I was extremely surprised when Sue won the feud (I did know that Blaine will rejoin the Cheerios but I didn’t think that it was a result of winning a sing off. I expected it to end like the other feuds in the episode) Vocally, Blaine can out sing Sue at any given day. I Still Believe might not have had a real choreography but Super Bass was all about the Cheerios, not Sue. Sue’s movements were stiff and lacking at best. She was using props and lights and feathers to draw the attention away from her mediocre performance. She did a good job with the singing and the song was energetic but the rest was just...off, while Blaine sounded amazing and depended solely on raw talent. I have no idea how the ND, who are supposed to recognize talent first and foremost, chose Sue. I was even more surprised that Sam of all people didn’t vote for Blaine but that was explained later but what about the rest? I don’t think all of the ND know, Kitty would certainly tattle the second she knows so how come they voted for Sue again?

The Bitch Is Back\ Dress You Up: Both songs were really great and Ryder and Unique did a very good job but what tipped the scale to Ryder’s side was the awkward dance moves Unique attempted. It was very distracting and weird. And I didn’t like that they’re bringing us back to the conclusion that Ryder is Finn 2.0 with him playing the drums. When was it ever indicated that Ryder can do so? Wasn't that the same guy who had next to zero musical knowledge at the beginning of the season?

I Want It That Way\ Bye Bye Bye: Loved it. Very energetic and Matt, Jake and Darren were so good. I especially loved the part when the two groups mixed together. The only part I could've gone without was the fighting part and I was a little disappointed that it ended with Will refusing to forgive Finn. I understand it but it’s a little hypocritical considering that Will himself has cheated on Emma before. But I understand the loss of trust and the pain of having your friend cheat on you and it’s a push for Finn to find a dream.

Closer: I love the performances where the ND just get to goof around and be friends. Showing Unique and Ryder at “it’s not just all physical” was a very nice touch too. Loved the energy but Ryder didn't sound that good. Jake was way better. And behold Will having his “My Love is Your Love” moment of season 4 where he finds out that these kids have become a family, despite their differences. Too bad he can’t take the credit this time.

The Klaine situation

So this is just my first reaction of the Klaine story line in this episode.

• Kurt was the one who picked Moulin Rouge, a film that we can safely assume that he had watched with Blaine like 2000 times, not to mention a film that contained his wedding song.
• We have to remember that Come What May is Kurt's fantasy. He actually fantasized about Blaine singing their wedding song by himself and recalling tender moments from their relationship, including their first time. Kurt KNOWS that Blaine still loves him with everything he has and is yearning for his forgiveness.
• I know that the script Ryan posted said that Kurt was torn but I had a hard time seeing that. The only feeling I got from Kurt was that he was trying so hard to deny the fact that he was still in love with Blaine, that was obvious when he turned around, giving his back to Blaine while he sang. Honestly, he looked very sure to me. He knew that he still loved Blaine but didn't want to admit it. His heart knew that he was still in love with Blaine and the only way for him to run away from this fact was to run away from Blaine himself, which he promptly realized was a lost cause and he turned around to sing "But I love you" right at Blaine.
• That point was proved further when he was talking to Adam. When Adam asked if he still loved Blaine, Kurt avoided the question and said that he wants desperately to be over Blaine, he never came out and said that he doesn't love Blaine, because he simply knows it is not true.
• Kurt gravitated towards Blaine as soon as he stepped onto the roof and their movements were so in sync when they started swaying together. They were falling back into a familiar territory which then terrified Kurt, making him pull away from Blaine in an attempt to deny that he still wants to be with Blaine.
• The hug at the end summarized everything Kurt was feeling. He was holding onto Blaine, leaning his head on his shoulder comfortably. This felt right, to be wrapped up in Blaine's arms again. Kurt was the one who reached out to pull Blaine to him and don't get me started on the look on his face during the hug. He was home, simple as that. Blaine was moving his hands over Kurt's back to surround him and comfort him, this is how Kurt pictures him, wrapping him on a cocoon of love.
• Can we talk about the fact that Kurt was actually awake when he fantasized about CWM? He didn't fall asleep and had his subconscious creep up on him. He was wide awake, with his sort of  dare right beside him and he still fantasized about singing his wedding song with his ex.
• This episode is the first time we actually hear Kurt admit that he wasn't over Blaine. I liked the talk between him and Adam because it forced him to face his feelings, instead of deflecting (which he did in I Do when he kept insisting that they were friends, and again when he was quick to brush Santana's comment aside after CWM)
• The look on Kurt's face when Adam held his hand spoke volumes to me. Kurt was just coming to the realization that he wasn't over Blaine and he didn't think that staying with Adam was the right way to do it. He's still hurt but he is also still in love with Blaine and he doesn't know what the right course of action is. His heart wants Blaine but his head is wary and he doesn't think that Adam's suggestion will help.
• Kurt is tempted by Adam's suggestion. He likes Adam and the guy just implied that he wants to stick with him until he gets over Blaine. Adam is the safe choice in this scenario and a part of Kurt wants that because Adam doesn't hold his heart which means that he can't hurt him. But he doesn't think it'll work, because being safe isn't the same as being happy.
• It's like Adam is setting himself to get hurt. He was just talking about being the rebound, then immediately puts himself in the position of a rebound. Kurt just told him that he wasn't over Blaine, he admitted to being with him at the wedding, and I really can't see Adam's suggestion and disposition doing anything to strengthen his relationship with Kurt, and a part of Kurt knows that, which again is clear from the look on Kurt's face.
• To sum it up, I don't think that Kurt is torn about his feelings for Blaine, he knows exactly what they are but he is afraid of acting on them because he doesn't want to be hurt, again. He is, however, torn about Adam, whom he likes but isn't ready in anyway to be with, not while he's still in love with Blaine.

Come What May

Now that I've listened to Come What May for about 100 times, I feel like I can finally think logically about it. I was surprised that they chose to go with the movie version instead of the other one, because Blaine is singing more in this version but once again, RIB prove that they know what the hell they're doing.

If we take in the context of the song in the movie, Christian is teaching Satine the song and trying to prove his love for her so to speak, which is reflected in Glee by Blaine. Also, the conversation just before CWM in Moulin Rouge is Satine trying to break up with Christian and Christian refusing to let her. Again, it's reflected in Glee with Kurt trying to downplay the make out and the sex and Blaine telling him that he knows that they will be together for a long time.

The song is Kurt's fantasy and while it makes sense that Blaine will be singing more in Kurt's fantasy, I think it also accommodates the fact that Kurt is "torn" about Blaine. He'll basically just stand there, listening to Blaine professing his undying love and contemplating whether he should join him or not. Kurt spends half the song trying to figure out if he has it in him to sing with Blaine which in a way, means that he has forgiven Blaine. Kurt joining Blaine in their wedding song refers to Kurt finally taking the final step in forgiving Blaine, which again is reflected by the fact that his first solo line is "I love you" which is the only part that was changed from the original song ( Chirstian is the one who says it first in the song which means that Blaine should have been the one saying it with Kurt echoing him, not the other way around) That holds a lot of weight because it's the very first time we hear Kurt saying I love you first. Also, cutting "until my dying day" from the end kinda makes sense because I think this is the moment Kurt comes out of his fantasy and realizes that this means that he still loves Blaine enough to forgive him.

The lyrics of CWM itself fits Klaine so much. The parts they both sing fits the situation perfectly. Blaine keeps saying how much he loves Kurt and promises to love him no matter what. Kurt joins in when he realizes that his life is perfect when Blaine is in it. He's a little timid and unsure in the beginning, with Blaine's voice being a notch about Kurt's, portraying his confidence that they belong together versus Kurt's doubt. Kurt's tone changes in "And there's no mountain too high", it becomes more sure. His voice soars in "Storm clouds may gather, stars may collide" which refers to them being pulled apart and broken, then we got to his first I love you. It's like he realizes that no matter what they went through, the trouble and the pain, he still loves Blaine and wants him.

There are some theories that this is Kurt's Blackbird moment, and while I certainly hope so, some of the upcoming songs indicate that they don't get back together after CWM. If Mamma Mia and Against All Odds are in context, then Kurt will start slowly realizing that he does want to give Blaine another chance, which will start with CWM but will take some time after because he's afraid of getting hurt again, while Blaine will despair that Kurt will never take him back, hence the live performance of Against the Odds. The only other time Darren sang live was the acoustic version of Teenage Dream which means a lot for Klaine so it makes sense that the second live performance is another song that is about Kurt. I certainly hope that they continue with the Moulin Rouge parallel and we get the CWM reprise when they get back together, just without the dying part.
