Most fans will remember Glee’s leading man Cory Monteith as the handsome and lovable Finn on Fox’s hit series, who joined the glee club New Directions after Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) caught him singing REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore” in the shower. Since that scene in the first episode, Finn has had some truly wonderful musical moments on the show, covering hits from Journey to Bruno Mars. To honor Monteith’s musical legacy, here are our five favorite Finn performances from Glee:
1. “Don’t Stop Believing,” Season One: The number that started a TV phenomenon, the New Directions’ cover of the Journey hit re-established a classic for a new generation; one they could adopt as their anthem. Making the song, arguably Glee’s most well-known and loved cover to date, even more poignant was the season four performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which reunited the original members on stage and showed us just how far they’d come, especially Finn, who had transformed from cardboard cut-out quarterback into an inspiring mentor.
