The Troubletones
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh

Mercedes
She, she ain't real
She ain't gon' be able to love you like I will
She is a stranger

You and I have history, or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all
But baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds
You made a fool out of you, and boy, she's bringing you down
She made your heart melt, but you're cold to the core
Now rumour has it, she ain't got your love anymore

The Troubletones
Rumour has it, oooh-ooh
Rumour has it, oooh-ooh
Rumour has it, oooh-ooh
Rumour has it, oooh-ooh

Santana
Don't forget me, I beg (Rumour has it, rumour has it)
I remember you said (Rumour has it, rumour has it, rumour has it)

I heard that you settled down (Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh)
That you've found a girl and you're married now (Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh)
I heard that your dreams came true (Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh)
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you (Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh)

Yeah, baby (Rumour has it, rumour has it)

Santana
(Rumour has it) Don't forget me

(Rumour has it, rumour has it)

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds
You made a fool out of me, and boy, you're bringin' me down
You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core
But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for

Overall Meaning

The song begins with Mercedes warning her former lover that whoever he has moved on with isn't real and won't be able to love him like she did. She then reminds him of their history together and questions whether or not he really wants what the other woman has to offer. The Troubletones then join in to sing the chorus, suggesting that rumors have been spreading about the relationship not working out. Santana then jumps in, pleading with her former lover not to forget her and reminding him of what he had said to her in the past. She tells him she has heard that he is married now and that his dreams have come true, but also implies that the other woman gave him something she couldn't.

Mercedes then comes in again with the repeated refrain of "rumor has it" before the chorus resumes. Santana adds that the relationship with the other woman has made her feel like a fool and that she is now cold to the core. However, she suggests that the rumors are true and that he is leaving the other woman for her. The Troubletones then come back in to sing the chorus one last time, concluding with Santana and Mercedes singing the famous lyrics from Adele's "Someone Like You" and acknowledging the pain that can come with love.

Overall, the song is an emotional journey through jealousy, heartbreak, and the desire to hold onto a past love. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, as they explore the complex emotions that can arise after a relationship ends. The combination of Adele's "Someone Like You" and "Rumour Has It" make for a powerful mashup that showcases the range and talent of the Glee Cast.

“The whole school already knows, and you know what ? They don’t care “ that’s such a selfish thing to say.... whatever happens around you no one can take away your right to come out at your own terms and time

@icandothisallday986

yeap. and it was also selfish of santana to use her insecurities as an excuse to bully and torment so many students in the school for 3 fucking years.
If you are gay and wanna keep it a secret then that's find. but the moment you try and use your sexuality as an excuse to bully other people, then you are in the wrong.

@kiki-bc2mo

3y↑174

@Icandothis allday She was not using her sexuality as an excuse. There were plenty of other things Finn could have pointed out but he chose to use her sexuality as an insult which it should never be. At the end of the day, everyone should be able to come out on their own terms no matter what. Coming out it very mentally challenging and Finn pretty much forced Santana out of the closet which meant she had to deal with homophobia, even from her own grandmother. He then played a savior role and never apologized for it but used the excuse that no one would care which wasn’t true at all, and there was no way for him to know what Santana was experiencing. While there was no excuse for what Santana said to Finn, he was an asshole for outing her like that and deserved that slap.

naya’s acting in this scene doesn’t get enough credits. the way she poured all that she got in this scene is just mind blowing. she was everything that everytime i watch this scene, it feels like someone reached through the screen and squeezed my heart. thank you naya for fighting for brittana storyline to be taken more seriously than just a running joke. 6 years later and they’re one of the first lgbtq+ characters to get married on national tv. thank you for making people feel seen. you will never be forgotten. rest easy, angel.

All of the singing scenes in Glee are lip synced because of the audio and where they did these scenes. It also helps the actors focus on their emotions and routine. If it was live and not lip synced the actors would have to focus on too many things at once.

And he tried to suspend people for not doing what he wanted them to do

Literally the best scene of the entirety of glee. You can see Santana is checked out throughout the whole performance to the point where there’s the pause and Mercedes has to keep going even thought it was supposed to be Santana’s opening part. Then the whole time she’s moving robotically as if she’s trying to think about the steps and not how she’s feeling. She’s so close to crying during the song that even Brittney notices and you can see how hurt they both are.

@Sam Evens Well, it shows in the exchange of glances between Mercedes and Santana, obviously she noticed that she was not feeling well and decided to continue with the song until Santana felt "good" to continue.

I don't think Santana was supposed to sing when Mercedes started after the pause. Santana was leading Someone Like You pretty much exclusively. The pause was to add dramatic tension.

@guyfriendly8984

3y↑134

Maybe the lesson here is to not bully anyone. Because no one is perfect, and if the victim finds out a dark secret you have, they can and will use it against you. When it happened to me, I would have done anything or given anything to get the bullies to stop. I would have forced them out of the closet. I would have told everyone everything. "Steve got molested in summer camp." Just leave people alone and you won't have to worry about it. But if you go after people, don't complain when they push back. I'm sorry the actress died, but the character deserved way more than this.

@deklin.14.official39

3y↑269

@Guy Friendly ur right. But saying she deserved to be outed is wrong. Even somebody like Santana doesn't deserve to be. Look what karofsky did to kurt. And yet kurt still didnt out him. But finn doesnt really have an excuse. Yes Santana really chewed him up this episode, but that doesnt make finn blameless by any means.

this will always be my favorite piece that ever aired on glee. the arrangement, choreography, and cinematography are all astounding on their own as a complete package, but the narrative context and emotional tone of the performance adds to its power in such a special way. the shot at 2:09 where the song pauses, the way the camera follows santana from 2:53 on, the harmonies and choreography that come in with the change at 3:30... it's all so intimate and empathetic, and it treats santana's story the way it should be: with care.

@Jay. Vu Interesting. I took it as Santana being unable to feel safe or in control of her life except when she's performing. Wen there was a break in the song, she started to get upset; and it's mirrored at the end, when as soon as she's done singing, she heads towards Finn to confront him.

Naya’s acting here is brilliant, she somehow manages to convey so much emotion and at the same time seem so numb, robotic and almost in shock. Also, the moment at the beginning where she is frozen and Mercedes sings what appears to have supposed to have been Santana’s part is great. I wish we got to see more of their friendship and more duets the two of them, their voices work so well together. And of course the part at 2:55, Brittana being the sweetest (as always). Hands down one of the best scenes in the entire show.

@heddalee

4y↑10

I don't think he shows any particular emotion. He's simply watching. His eyes move from one to the other, hammering the point home that Kurt has some stake in this, but his face is fully neutral (which is more in keeping with his wait-and-see personality).

As someone who was forced out of the closet earlier than I wanted to be, it's a truly terrifying mix of emotions and Naya portrayed it so well.

Luckily, I've never been outed before, but her performance showed how terrifying it is as a gay person when you know most people won't accept you for who you are. It was so painful to watch and Naya's performance was incredible.

Finn outing Santana was the thing that scared me to come out. I was so afraid of it happening that after this episode aired, I wrote a coming out letter to my mom. Nobody should ever be outed, regardless of whether they've been mean to you or not. That's territory you don't cross into. The emotion Naya brought forth in this whole segment is just so powerful and heartbreaking. But so, so well done. She was such a powerhouse of talent.

@lizanna6390

I know Santana could be a bitch but she didn't deserve to be publicly outed like that and her parents should have heard it from her when she was ready, not on a slanderous advert.

Besides me yowling like a dying cat and trying to learn the choreography to this song I always come back to this performance and notice the acting and the subtlety of Santana's emotions... you can tell what she is thinking but not quite and throughout the song you kinda see her go through almost the five stages of grief which eventually leads to Finn's (debatably well deserved) slap. You can tell she is plotting her next move, she is confused, hurt, lost and just having all these thoughts racing in her head WHILST performing. The little look to the side, the glances at Brittany, the fighting the battle of emotions and trying to perform at the same time. Props to Naya Rivera, the directors and choreographers to show Santana's thoughts and emotions and that true internal battle she really had been facing for a long time, just really well done and couldn't ask for anything better.

EDIT: I just love the attention to detail and now reading this back I'm such a nerd for it but when I first saw this performance I was speechless for the subtle movements and the acting and it made me love the Santana character even more. Naya's portrayal of the pain is just spectacular as well.

@MakaylaTomasi

Okay, we do not give Jane Lynch enough credit for her portrayal of this specific character. Every character on Glee was a bad person to some degree (the video literally starts with Santana calling Finn a manatee), but Sue taking credit for a mistake that cost someone else's reputation should've probably been one of the first things people told me about her after the whole "Stereotypical cheerleading coach that works her team to death" bit.

She is soft spoken, her voice does not hold any of the hardness it usually does (even when saying "Watch your blood pressure") and she gets closer so Santana can look her in the eye and know she's completely serious in her remorse for Santana having been dragged into this. Jane's acting is freaking top tier. I can't say much on the two guys because, as I keep saying, I didn't watch Glee and only keep stumbling on these videos out of boredom, but the way that they are also very soft-spoken and clearly sympathetic is also freaking top tier. Sorry not sorry, but this is good acting, no matter how shit the show, this is good acting.

And then the acting direction during the performance. Mercedes' glance to Santana before "Bless your soul", the glances Brittany and Mercedes shoot toward Santana as they're doing the rumor has it bit and after she starts "Don't forget me, I beg" because they do want to make sure she's alright to do this. And then the callback to Finn's words about Santana being into Brittany with Santana walking toward Brittany during the solo. There's just a lot of acting/choreography things to love (and hate, but this isn't that kinda comment) about this performance, but the freaking comment's too long already.
