oh no
i thought we were finished complaining about blaine getting to sing
Pardon me, I don't lurk around this forum to care or even know about the other threads about blaines profuse solos.
It's just a pretty common complaint everywhere you look. People complain about who gets solos.
Some people wish Rachel didn't have as many solos.
Some people wish Blaine didn't have as many solos.
Pretty much everybody wishes their favorite characters had MORE solos.
All of this is old news. Blaine gets solos because Darren sells songs. That's pretty much all there is to that.
BUT, here are some fun facts:
If you just look at actual solos with one person singing lead for the whole song, Blaine has the most songs this season, with Mercedes in second place and Rory in third place. Rachel and Puck tie for fourth place.
If you look at solo songs and duets, Rachel jumps into first place. Blaine is in second place, followed by Santana in third place and then Mercedes in fourth.
However, if you look at solo songs, duets, and group numbers that people sing lead parts in, then Santana jumps to first place, Rachel and Mercedes tie for second, Blaine takes third, and Finn and Kurt tie for fourth.
So, depending on what songs you're counting as "solos," the stats are a little different.
I find it interesting that people complain so much about Blaine's solos this season, but nobody seems to care that Santana actually has four more songs than Blaine. Remember that she's in the same position Blaine is in. Santana was brought on as a minor character, upgraded to the status of series regular because of her popularity, and eventually given more story lines because of that popularity, as well as more songs because of how well her music sells.
Just an interesting thing to consider...
