Really love this as a group song but not enough Finn feature for me to rank this any higher. #16

I always thought of this as my favorite Finn solo, or at least a Finn solo that really stood out to me. Great song for Finn and such a fun performance. I would like for this to win though not sure if it will. #1

 

CHRIS:

Quote

Without a doubt, one of my favourite solo of Finn's - this type of music is exactly what you expected Cory to do as Finn, and he would never fail to impress with it. And that's one of the many reason why it's one of the song that is associated with Finn/Cory.

one of my fave Finn solos. I loved his vulnerability in  this performance. #3

 

CHRIS:

Quote

Always been a fan of this version of the song as I find it really did justice to Cory's voice. As well, the song took a new meaning as the years go by , notably with Amber's cover of the song. 

 

JC:

Finn did a great job

classic has to stay king

 

CHRIS:

Quote

Absolutely this song is iconic but will always going to be more of a group performance for me hence why I could not justify having it higher than this. 

 

WALLY:

Quote

THE Classic Glee song. Finn sings this well, but Rachel outshines him - so can’t rank it too high based solely off Finn. #11

One of my favourite duet of Finn & Rachel. 

 

WALLY:

Quote

I think this is one of Finn’s finest showings in a Finnchel duet, in fact this is probably my favorite vocal from him in their duets. Rachel still outshines him in the bigger vocal moments but loved his opening verse. #5

 

JC:

Quote

beautiful singing

 

[Solaris]

solid #1, glad don't stop believin didn't win.  #Notsorryabootit

[*Amanda]

Faithfully benefited from being in the top 5 with four performances that received tanked rankings. it was the only one to place in everyone's top 10.

 

Happy with this winner, though.

I didn't predict the correct #1.  Shocker.  Not really.

[*Amanda]

The Quinn Fabray round will start tomorrow.

 

You know, since there's hardly any reactions to the winner of the Finn round.  

[~*8Kay8*~]

Very solid winner, though the Top 4 was very stacked and any would have been a justifiable winner! I do also absolutely love “Keep Holding On” (even though I ranked it 19th). I just felt like it wasn’t enough of a Finn showcase to rank it higher. 
 

No huge complaints with the overall, though I would liked to have seen “Juke Box Hero” and “She’s Not There” place a little higher 

[Elliott]

The level of Avril Lavigne disrespect!

[1234567890]

Faithfully.

[1234567890]

I would have actually had Faithfully higher but I didn’t think it would win and I’ve always seen it as a Finchel duet more than a standout Finn performance. Next time I’ll go with my gut.

[*Amanda]

Can’t wait to see which song will get the “they don’t sing enough in it!” complaints in the upcoming character rounds.  

[*Chris]

No complaints regarding  the winner although I would have preferred Jessie’s Girl.

Same!

 

Sadly, it received too many tanked rankings.  

[*Amanda]

The Quinn round will start whenever this hits a new page!  

 

Unsurprisingly, this round will be the first to not have a Top 20 because the show snubbed Quinn with the number of performances she got to do.   It will have a Top 10 and be played in 2 parts in order to narrow the songs down to it.

UGH yes.

 

She deserved better. Glee had some serious issues with distributing the solos and duets properly.

That and Quinn’s storyline being all over the place.
