I've been re-watching Glee the last week or so. I'm in the middle of season 2, and I decided to look back on my 10 favorite performances by Cory on Glee. They're not all Cory on his own, some are with Lea, and some with the guys from Glee, and the entire New Directions.
Hope you enjoy!
10. Don't Stop Believing - Season 4
This is really more featuring Lea's character, Rachel Berry, but it was the last performance Cory ever did on Glee. He was written out of the last several episodes of season 4 when he checked into rehab earlier this year.
9. Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Season 2
Omg, I just watched this episode the other day and it BROKE my heart. This video is a little crazy, the person used the full version of the song and cut to clips of Cory and Lea during the middle (the part of the song they didn't film on Glee), but I actually loved it. They were just so perfect.
8. Don't Dream It's Over - Season 4
Okay ignore the subtitles, but I loved this performance. The snow made it just MAGICAL.
7. Just the Way You Are - Season 2
Oh my gosh. I love this one. He looks so happy and alive in it and his character Finn and Kurt, just love. And him dancing with Lea at the end, I just love how happy he looks in this entire performance.
6. Push It - Season 1
Cory has ALWAYS been my favorite part of this performance. He is HILARIOUS, omg his face at like 1:29-1:30, I DIE EVERY TIME. This always makes me laugh, I love it!
5. We Are The Champions - Season 3
I actually had this a spot lower but decided it needed to be moved up. I will NEVER EVER forget the first time I saw this performance. I COMPLETELY BAWLED MY EYES OUT. In it, they had just won Nationals, and all of the main cast (or most) were graduating. No one knew at that time how everything would play out with them so I felt like everything was ending. Cory's vocals were so powerful in this one. When they bring Matthew Morrison up on stage and all hug him, I JUST BAWL.
4. Don't Stop Believing - Season 1
Honestly, the performance that made me fall in love with Glee. Singing has been a huge part of my life for my whole life and this show is just so close to my heart for so many reasons. I love when Cory smiles at Lea around 2:15ish, and I just love his enthusiasm in this one. Such emotion when he sings.
3. It's My Life/Confessions Part II - Season 1
Okay, so there wasn't many options for videos for this one so just ignore Cory with the boom box on the right side, LOL. This will always be one of my favorite Glee performances ever! I love all the mash ups they do on the show but this one is probably my favorite. If the guys look a little hyper its because they took pseudoephedrine before performing haha. It's hilarious.
2. Faithfully - Season 1
Incredible duet with Cory and Lea on a Journey classic. I believe right before they start the video Finn says "I love you," to Rachel. I just can't get enough of them together.
1. Pretending - Season 2
It clearly just figures that my most favorite performance would have the shittiest options for video. The quality on every single one I opened was awful, but this was the best I could find. This is my favorite song that Glee has done throughout the 4 seasons. It has a personal meaning to me, I can relate to the lyrics a lot. What also makes it special is that it is an original song, not a cover which is usually what Glee does. This was in Season 2 at the Nationals, and that kiss at the end cost the New Directions ... they didn't place, but it was worth it to me. Since the video sucks so much I'm also posting the full song below. It's a beautifully written song, I love it. It is the most played song on my iTunes to this day.
Rest in peace, Cory. I will always think of you whenever I hear your voice or watch you on Glee. You will never ever be forgotten.
