Hopelessly Devoted to You from Grease is featured in The Role You Were Born to Play, the fifth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Blaine Anderson as his audition song for the school musical of Grease.
Blaine begins to sing it right after a conversation with Sam about his recent break-up with Kurt. He walks through the hallway, singing with a sad expression. The scene turns as Blaine is seen sitting by himself in the choir room, looking at a scrapbook full of pictures of himself and Kurt and the memories they made together. He sings on the football bleachers as he watches football players hold hands with cheerleaders, as they have got love that he hasn't. Blaine finally completes his performance in the auditorium, where he sings with a microphone stand.
He sings the song as his audition song in front of Artie and Finn, despite saying to Sam that he isn't fit for the musical, particularly Grease. His finish is full of emotion and heartache as the song expresses his feelings for Kurt. Artie and Finn agree that he would be a good Danny Zuko, but Blaine emotionally says he can't play any of the romantic scenes because he is still emotional over his recent break-up with Kurt.
Lyrics[]
Blaine:
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry,
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you
I know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see,
There's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now,
There's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "Fool! Forget him"
My heart is saying "Don't let go"
Hold on to the end,
That's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now,
There's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Trivia[]
- The outfit Blaine is wearing in this performance is the same outfit he wore in Michael during Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
- The performance is similar to Across The Universe's I Want To Hold Your Hand scene. In Season Two, Kurt sings I Want To Hold Your Hand with the movie's arrangement of the song.
Mistakes[]
- At one point, Blaine flips a page in the scrapbook, but in the next shot, it is still the same page.
