‘Glee’ season 4 song spoilers: Darren Criss, Heather Morris shine in ‘Shout’

“Glee” has a reason to celebrate when it comes to “Shout,” as it is the 500th performance that the show has put on over the course of its run. While at first we were actually rather bummed that this performance was going to be a song that has been overplayed at every school dance and sporting event over the past 20 years, it seems almost like a perfect choice once you actually listen to the song from Thursday night’s episode.

The first thing that you have to remember when it comes to this song is that it does actually have versus. Typically, it is easy to forget about the actual content of the song in the midst of the “a little bit softer now” and the chorus that typically yields for people going insane. Darren Criss and Heather Morris tackle the majority of the vocals as Blaine and Brittany, and they each excel when ti comes to just perfectly demonstrating the sort energy that is present in almost every note of this song.

As for just how this song comes about, it is related in some way to the mere fact that it is movie week during “Girls (and Boys) on Film,” and everyone is going to be taking on some music from some of their favorite films. This song was really made famous courtesy of “Animal House,” and it is a complete 180 from the emotional performance of “Come What May” from “Moulin Rouge” that Blaine is also performing in this episode with Kurt.
