If you play fShep and haven't romanced anyone in ME2, Mordin will start singing after gently turning down "your advances", which is hilarious and touching at the same time. Untill that moment I only suspected he had a sense of humor; this scene actually confirmed it. So yeah, awsome. And he can carry a tune.
I always play femshep and I had some playthroughs with a Shepard that stayed single/faithful but I really can't remember that Mordin sings a second time. I think it is only when you talk with him about the collectors when his interest in arts comes up that he starts to sing. This may be after the medical talk or before - I don't remember. But I doubt that it has to do with him turning down Shepard.
Nevertheless - Mordin is great and if he would be a romance option at least one of my Sheps would totally romance him (and Kirrahe) 
I am glad that there is this thread for all those great characters - they really deserve the love. I wish it would be possible to save Legion and Anderson and of course Mordin without losing Wrex 
I stand corrected. Had to play this part again to refresh my memory and you're right - there's no correlation between being turned down and Mordin singing. As Joker would say - awkward:whistle:. All I can say is that in my game it happened subsequently and therefore kind of blurred together.
I did spend a lot of time talking to (bothering) Mordin, even after the Collectors' Base. Even when he doesn't have anything new to say, his lines are interesting. And I'm not saying this just because I'm biased:P. Oh, and did you know he had a nephew he was worried about? I discovered it my second playthrough and always wanted to meet the kid, alas.
As for Wrex - he was the reason I started to pay more attention to korgan as w race and learned to love them. Simple "Shepard." "Wrex." turned him into my Shep's second best friend (well, and maybe several lines on the Citadel, and those stories - in my opinion Zaeed's stories don't hold a candle to our battlemaster's stories). I couldn't kill him on Virmire and I wouldn't kill him in ME3, not even to save Mordin, as it would require sacrificing Eve as well. She was another character and another krogan, btw, I liked after only one conversation. But then again I seem to have weakness to all krogan - just look at Grunt and Chaar.
Anyway, one of the reasons I played ME3 for the second time was to see again all those characters that are in the background - those who get only one or two lines, or those we can't talk to at all. Like the asari in the Huerta Memorial - in my opinion she also was a hero. Or Kal'Reegar (and it was really cheap to kill him off in e-mail:alien:), or the guy from Jack's loyalty mission, if you let him live, or even Conrad Verner in his own way. The game is full of all those little details and characters that show there's something better and bigger in this war than horror - like the story EDI tells about people imprisoned in Reapers' camps on Earth.
To me those characters are wonderful not only because they are well written but because they are ready to help others. Their stories balance out the Cerberus and the Sanctuary, and salarian's stubborness regarding the genophage, and the asari refusal to take part in the joint war effort until it's almost too late. For example, I almost cried when Grunt stayed behind, not only because I was certain he'll die, but because he just lost most of his unit and
still listened to my Shep and helped to save his natural enemy - the rachni queen. Not to mention that when he showed up on the LZ covered with blood but alive and triumphant - it was one of the best and easly the most heroic scenes I've ever seen.
