Picspam: 5 Favorite "Glee" Performances

[dramaturgy]

picspammy's challenge this month is for five things of something -- but no more than five. Here's my blatant attempt at not doing homework contribution for now!



5. Don't Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl (1x09, "Ballad")
I had never heard "Young Girl" until this point, but "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is one of my favorite Police songs, and it's SUCH a good mashup. Also, Matthew Morrison. I think Lea and Jayma are also amazing in this number, just dazzled little fangirls. And why shouldn't they be. It is Matthew Morrison. (Mr. Schue would probably be my teacher of choice to have a crush on as well. Except I never really did crushes on teachers. :\) (YouTube -- sorry for the bad quality but the only one I could find that was reasonably good quality was flipped and I just couldn't handle it. XD.)









4. Don't Stop Believing (1x01, "Pilot")
Another favorite song of mine, it just gives me chills. I love how it's just EXACTLY what Will needed to hear to pull him back towards doing what he loves, and I love how Sue/Quinn/Santana and Puck are all watching as well. It's like in a musical where we're just about to hit the climax of the second act and there's like four or five different lines of counterpart going on. I love the costumes, I love the lighting, and I love how they're just rocking out. (YouTube.)









3. It's My Life/Confessions (1x06, "Vitamin D")
Both of the mashup performances in this were just GREAT. I LOL so hard at both of them, but I love this one for mainly three reasons: 1. I think given what's going on with Finn and Quinn (like my mom says, they should have known it was doomed from the start) it's a much stronger statement, 2. Cory Monteith makes the most ridiculous faces and I love him for it, and 3. Kurt went so butch for this number. XD (YouTube.)









2. Don't Rain on My Parade (1x13, "Sectionals")
Lea Michele is fierce. She's awesome, and my jaw was on the floor the entire time. (YouTube.)









1. Keep Holding On (1x07, "Throwdown")
I can seriously watch this number ten times in a row and not get sick of it. I think it's so beautiful, and it's a very strong statement from the glee kids who have just spent the episode being pulled apart by their leaders. (Also, when Finn takes Quinn and Rachel's hands, all I can think is OT3!!) Love it. ♥ (YouTube.)

EEEEEEE
Ahem.

Didn't realize until now what strong statements the color choices are in these. The costumers at Glee totally deserve an award because their work plus the cinematography totally brings your eye right to where they want it.

I love that second to last shot on the Don't Stop Believing section.

Also did not realize how gorgeous the Keep Holding On scene was until you picspammed it. Lovely.

Thanks for this, I think I'm a bigger Gleek now than when I clicked this link, which says a lot. XD

I love the costumes, they're so great about incorporating color and it's so bright and cheery to look at.

&hearts: Keeeeeep Hoooolding oooon ♥

I agree on your number one.
I used to just watch this part of the episode over and over and over. So amazing.

Nice choices :)

[mwmm23.livejournal.com]

Awesome choices! :D :D

[blueymcphluey.livejournal.com]

ugh, I absolutely agree!

[lovetheepacey.livejournal.com]

Pretty spam! Love the choices. If "Keep Holding On" was "Somebody to Love".. this would prob be my exact Top 5. "Don't Stop Believing" will always be epic because it was the first, "Don't Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl" and "It's My Life/Confessions" were so catchy & "Don't Rain on My Parade" was awesome cuz Lea definitely looked as though she were in her element. Great choices!

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

Somebody To Love was ALMOST chosen, but unfortunately sixth place just wasn't cutting it. XD

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

I definitely sat and watched it on Hulu, weeping, when it first came out. XD

[raven22.livejournal.com]

THIS. SO MUCH WIN.

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

:D

[raven22.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, some of the characters/storylines have driven me absolutely mental (and not in a good way), but both soundtracks are on steady repeat on my iTunes. :]

[averypartofme.livejournal.com]

This is so great! These are all great performances!

[dreamon-dreamer.livejournal.com]

this is great!!
the mashups kind of annoyed me, but it was the songs, not the performances. lmao, you're so right, kurt did go butch.
"don't rain..." and "keep holdin on" were definitely amazing. my personal fave is "somebody to love."

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

"Somebody To Love" was on my short list, but unfortunately it probably would have been six or seven.

[leire-pj.livejournal.com]

Great choices!!
Lea always give me chills when I listen to "Don't rain on my parade"
And I love Cory's faces during "It's My Life/Confessions" ♥

[sofie-sanctuary.livejournal.com]

this is SO great!!! wonderful choices
LOVE IT!!

[cifan70.livejournal.com]

OMG, this is so pretty. I love your choices. I agree with them.

[blackrosesredxo.livejournal.com]

Amazing. :D

[mlleraquel.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaaaah I love you and this post and these pictures and this show!

[unpresentablex.livejournal.com]

Great Picspam! I love it <333!

[lavillenie.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous picspam! I love the colours in this show, so pretty <3

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is great! You picked awesome numbers, and the caps are so pretty--the colors really do jump out when you see 'em like this. :) Lovely spam.

[adinarj.livejournal.com]

I loved "Don't Rain on My Parade" - I keep listening and watching that over and over.

It's funny that you say you never heard Young Girl before, because I knew that song much better than "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and I love how Will changed it around. Also, in the words of my friend Rickie, Matthew Morrison is "dreamy."

I adored the mashups. And the guys were just so awesome. And Kurt went butch! Kurt!

I'm going to stop now because I just keep saying "I loved it toooooo!!"

[kitoky.livejournal.com]

The idea and purpose of Keep Holding On was BEAUTIFUL. Which makes it deserving of the number one spot.

Great picspam!

[beautdisastr.livejournal.com]

Rain On My Parade and Keep Holding On are my very very very favourites! ♥ Great work on this.

[kait-18.livejournal.com]

Aww, this is great! My love for Keep Holding On knows no bounds. It's by far the best number they've ever done. The way they all look at Quinn just kills me every time!

[cowboyhat.livejournal.com]

Yes. Keep Holding On is so beautiful. I am *still* re-watching it on youtube. I really wanna re-watch Throwdown, just for this song.

[rolley2001.livejournal.com]

I am totally blown away by your pic spam!

GORGEOUS!

I do love "Keep Holding On" the best. Quinn being supported by everyone. Priceless!

[curlybeach.livejournal.com]

It's weird, I prefer other songs to listen to, but the 'Keep Holding On' scene is just so gorgeous and powerful, it really makes me well up ever time!

Gorgeous picspam, by the way :D

[annikamalfoy.livejournal.com]

This is really cool. I mean I don't totally agree when it comes to my top five but I love these ones a lot. Two of my most favourite performances are here and that kicks. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[mcgrammar.livejournal.com]

I love this! Like, completely. My runner-up would probably be Sweet Caroline. I just loved everything about that small portion of the episode, even though Rachel and Puck lasted for, like, 5 seconds, I found it extremely cute when he sang that to/for her.

[snb123.livejournal.com]

Oh show! Props to you for being able to pick a top 5! I don't think I would be able to! I love them all too much! But, I do have to say that It's My Life/Confessions would be up there!
