3. Santana and Mercedes sing and Adele Mash-Up
Glee takes a lot of hate from people who claim their covers are terrible and unoriginal, but sometimes Glee does great things with their songs, and this particular example, a mash up of Adele's "Someone Like You" and "Rumor Has It" really is incredible. Perhaps not better than Adele, but for all those of us who had been listening to her album 21 on repeat for an entire year, it was great to have another version sang by two incredible singers to listen to all over again. Despite the song being one of Glee's all time greatest, this is not why it has been included. The emotional power is heightened knowing that Santana, who had previously been a closeted lesbian, was outed just before by Finn and now she has very little time before the whole school finds out, and her family finds out too. Santana gives the song the performance of her life, and her emotional pain can be clearly seen in her eyes throughout. The song is finished by an incredibly passionate confrontation between Finn and Santana, where Santana ends up slapping Finn across his face for being such a fool. I don't usually condone any kind of violence, but Finn deserved that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQCVMkMlufI
