It may underscore that the main character, perhaps TheGrinch, HAS CHANGED. It may be used to highlight a moment of epiphany for a character who has perhaps until now lacked a sense of purpose or direction. If it is a fantasy sequence, that character might be imagining themselves as better, more centered and more true-to-self. It may stand to prove to the world that, YES, the lead singer you see in front of you, must Finally Be Noticed and/or must Finally be Taken Seriously. The audience, which may be made up of a bunch of sullen kids who think that SchoolIsForLosers, experience a Genuine Moment Of Realness.

** "A Night of Neglect". Rachel suddenly realizes just how good Mercedes is when she sings "Ain't No Way" by Aretha Franklin, with a gospel back-up. This episode incorporated both the CoolLoser variant (both Mercedes and Rachel) and TheGrinch variant (antagonist Sandy Ryerson, who, due to this performance, and his love for Aretha, [[spoiler:pays for the Braniacs' trip to Detroit]]).
