[@gurglequeen433]

Literally the most iconic song Glee has ever done. Like this is the staple of Glee, this was their beginning.

[@alomm9789]

Along with Hey Jude...

[@jordancole379]

True

[@SL-lv8im]

Especially since all of the main originals were there, although not Brittany - but I think that’s just because she wasn’t supposed to be a major character, so let’s all pretend she is ❤️

[@alessandra0109]

Same with Rachel and Don't Rain on My Parade

[@txmoney]

It’s Jan 2020. I remember watching the pilot episode when it originally aired. While watching I thought, “what a quirky, funny show with a cast of unique likable characters”. Then this performance and I was blown away; perfect song, great arrangement, fantastic editing. Like most episodic tv, the quality diminished as characters got older and stories got threadbare. But I’ll always have the memory of that first great season.

And this is where it all began

[@VinDiesel01]

Just came here to say goodbye Glee club.. Because i watched whole 6 seasons in 2 weeks like a marathon on Netflix and teared me so much. I saluté everyone who wants to chase their dreams and believe they will come true "sooner or later"..

[@danielraro3326]

It's funny to think that Sue always joke about Will's obsession with Journey but the first time the Glee Club ever sang a Journey song it was Finn's choice

[@juliebjelland8128]

This is the first ever song they actually performed together in glee. It brings back so much memory’s. We miss you Corey. And we miss glee.

BEST Comment Ever

[@deannahayward4600]

One of the greatest first episode in tv history . This is what made me want to watch . People together singing for a cause for a dream . On a journey . BTW Rachel looks so young wow . Finn and Rachel were finchel before finchel was a thing .

[@JadenCH2K]

Finn was the heart of Glee, it was never the same after Season 4 when he passed

[@mauxparmots3244]

True

[@mello2156]

It was frikin trash the only originals left were Kurt, Tina and Rachel. I really don’t know about Mercedes or Artie.

[@aiaproductions9319]

@@mello2156 They both stayed as well. Well, Mercedes wasn’t there as frequently but she was there.

[@ihastigers]

Young Kurt looks so different from S5-S6 Kurt. Also R.I.P Cory Monteith, we still miss you.

[@p.c6175]

Finn was always the heart of Glee

[@imbored-eh4sh]

I just started watching glee and I love it I'm on season 5 and I'm in Theater and I really want to be a good singer and be on Broadway

[@Victoria-qg4jn]

Harry Styles - that is 100% true

[@kylewilkins6149]

No amount of music in the entire was EVER better than this number right here. They set the bar SO HIGH in the pilot episode and never reached it again.

[@user-up2ew9jv2g]

HOLD UP. There were soooo many other great numbers though. And tbh the second "don't stop believing" was even better imo. Not by much, but slightly better fs.

[@keannahuff1020]

@@user-up2ew9jv2g this one has a lot of nostalgia though. like when I think Glee, this is what comes to mind

[@morganx2345]

i thought i was the only one who still watched these videos in 2020. seeing cory makes me so sad. 7years :(

[@haleys.3721]

Ten years ago today this was shown to the world

[@saracoutinho3398]

[@emmy-blue9759]

The good old days of glee, the best seasons were 1 and 3

[@carolinef9204]

1-3 for sure. 2 was okay, better when not compared to 1 and 3 tbh LMAO

[@maja9066]

Yeeees I jest ended seanson 4 and i miss them... i dont like the new characters lol

[@tumamaeswatona7827]

Season 2 has okay episodes but the best covers from glee like: Billionaire, Happy Days are here again, Forget you, Marry you and Just the way you are... but on the other hand is the JB episode sooo...

[@jessicaduplito3923]

This show gave me so much hope

[@user-vm2so6xx7n]

Me, too. I'm Japanese, but I love this drama.

[@emilyw530]

This scene will always make me cry ...always remember watching it for tje first time...got chills and cried

[@kendrahouck984]

Same... I pretty much gre up with this show. I was just going into middle school when it aired. Looking back the show had it's issues but it served a great purpose... And these moments are the ones that have so much nostalgia stuck to them

[@WilliamRobinson-bb6mr]

"Did I miss the election for Queen because I didn't vote for you." Kurt had the best quotes in the show.

[@bryazz]

My star of Glee will be always be Rachel Berry.

[@RickesRives]

One of the very best fictional characters ever created.

[@iasz]

My favorites are Santana, Mercedes and Brittany

[@marczyrusloyola8899]

This is where it all started. A show with great music and character development. #RIPCory

[@brennavictoria4050]

This will forever be one of my favorite shows!!

[@andresmino9492]

Everytime I see this, I think the same: Maybe my favourite performance of Rachel (personally) I love Kurt's moves I love that Finn acts like a leader from the first ep the 6x12 is maybe my favourite ep (feelings haha) and seeing mr Schuester recovering the hope while he listens.. that just makes me cry, always

[@mike8055]

Glee was sooo popular - at least the first and second seasons were. Feels long ago now!

[@yuanigdanes5580]

2020 still watching this it never gets old

[@faded-epitaph]

Same here 😂

[@jrock2264]

Glee gave people hope. I don't see a lot of hope any more. Just seems like a lot of misery. Glee was special.

[@bluemoon6625]

Totally agree. If ever people needed hope, it's now. There's so much turmoil and uncertainty in the world today.

[@Briguy1027]

This scene totally hooked me on the show. Enjoyed the six disparate people coming together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Good times and good memories and even better music!

So uplifting, so full of hope and promise. Very hard to believe that Cory is really gone, such a waste. Great series, great cast. I was hooked from the very beginning, and am still a gleek at heart now (despite being years older than the average Gleek).

[@angelakenrick8940]

"Thanks"

[@philstrachan]

So true! They mime to themselves. Very common. I work in tv etc and we have a couple of singing/dancing groups that come into the studio to record them singing, so when they're on stage, they can concentrate on their dance moves. ✨️🎭
