What BBN said about it

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCriss started it solo and said he'd sing both parts, which he admitted isn't how it goes.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThen Colfer joked that the only inappropriate thing about doing the song was doing it without Criss.
