GLEE - Full Performance of ''Somebody To Love' [Cut-Down] from 'The Rhodes Not Taken'

Somebody to Love by Queen is featured in The Rhodes Not Taken, the fifth episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions for their second act at their Invitationals. Artie, Finn, Mercedes, and Rachel have solos.
Due to April being kicked out by Will because of her drunkenness after their first song, Last Name, Rachel decides to rejoin, after not liking being in the musical Cabaret by herself. She already knows the lyrics to the song and so Finn and the others agree to help her with the choreography. It is the first song in which all of the first twelve members perform together. In Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One, Quinn suggests this song to be used again as the closing song at Sectionals because it's a "crowd pleaser." That happens after the group's initial set-list is stolen by the opposing schools (with a helping hand from Sue); however, this song is not seen performed onscreen.

When Finn sang “Can” I think that was the purest more magnificent wonder of the whole series.

[obohemma]

I love this scene were finn and Rachel sang somebody to love rest in peace cory we miss you

[pixigirl]

I forgot how awkward Finn was with the dance moves...lmao. Awww, now I got a little sad. RIP Cory

[rickbanet]

In every episode of GLEE, these young people demonstrated how incredibly talented they are.

[appaleki]

mercedes hitting that note gives me chills, the entire song gives me chills 😍😍😍

[andreadh]

Mercedes, Santana... any other except Rachel have a diva moment: *GETS KICKED OUT OF GLEE*
Rachel has a diva moment: Shitster allows her to participate...

[HienNguyenHMN]

Glee club: "You weren't around for rehearsals so you don't know the choreography."
Mr Shuester: "We have a costume ready for you."

[love-wisdom]

I just miss them. I miss the show. I just simply miss it.

[kathrynandkandi]

I hate how if Mercedes left a dance class she’d be kicked out of the ND but Rachel ABANDONS THEM and still gets the lead

[gerry]

Omg our gurl Mercedes got that note Signed and Sealed for sure! Share brilliance Wow.
Cory/Lea. Their voices blend well and their harmonizes together strong and omg Amazing.
Cast of GLEE. Awesome.

[gwencarter]

(Amber hits high note) wow 🤩 that’s amazing 3:48

[jrjr]

Shows like this are great...I loved this show and was always waiting for the next episodes...some of the songs just gave me goose bumps...I really loved Glee!!

[custardtart]

Can we talk about how good Naya looks in those jeans

[James-rgpo]

I hate how rachel got no consequences she sent a girl to a crack house oh she might get a slap on the wrist. Whats that the girl with bulimia dosent want to wear revealing clothes SUSPENSION

[suleidispame]

Finn, Santana and Puck... for ever and ever in our memory!

[BBbomba]

I don't get why the whole school didn't fall in love with them after this number like me♥

[josephine.france]

I find it hard to believe they didn’t run over ANYTHING with Rachel before the performance. She knew pretty much all the choreography and when to sing (and when not to sing) and the right harmonic tune!

[messyatbestx]

Cory’s vocals in this really do stand out, fly high angel❤️

[jcbasa]

2:05 Naya and Mark were infront and Cory is literally on their back. 💔💔💔

[secretagent]

Mercedes Rocks a POWERFUL voice, but santana always my fav.
