Alex Newell, better known as Unique from Glee, got New York City’s AIDS Walk off to a rousing start on Sunday with a stirring rendition of “I Know Where I’ve Been” that stirred legendary vocal powerhouse Martha Wash — seen taking notes in the right hand corner — out of her seat.

Queen Latifah does it better. That being said, this was an amazing version from a male singer. This is by far one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite musicals.

Yep, one of the few Glee kids that can sing without auto tune.

He sure can sing and he showed up to sing at an AIDS event. Lets see Queen Latifah do that…show up for an AIDS event, for free.

I love that Glee is providing a platform for talented kids like this. I’m not sure he’d have gotten the attention he deserves without the Glee Project and the show. Really great.

I’m sure Queen Latifah does it better – with a full orchestra and an earpiece. Girlfriend was workin’ it live with just a piano and no earpiece – out in the open air.

WTF is wrong with people, you are on stage, put your phone away, your texts messages are not that important, if you are going to accept the invitation, at least show a little interest in what is going on, or just stay home.

@Polaro: Excellent point. BTW, Queen Latifah showed up at Long Beach Pride last year, and it was MOST DEFINITELY a paid appearance, and then denied ‘coming out’ in reference to her referring to the audience as ‘her people.’
