1

The Proposal…

I don’t know about you, but Cory Monteith melted my heart when he proposed to Rachel. They might not have ended up getting married, but it was a truly memorable moment!

2

Don’t Stop Believin’…

This might have been the moment that Glee’s success was finalized! Not only did people love the Glee episode, but the Journey song (which is one of my faves!) entered the top 10 of the charts in countries around the world. Not bad for an old song and a new program, then.

3

I’ll Stand by You…

This clip is from episode 10 of season 1 – and it’s no wonder that Glee and Cory fans have voted it one of their favorites. The emotional tune is made even more poignant now, and it was a tear-jerker when it first screened, too.

4

We’ve Got Tonight…

This emotional song was performed at Will and Emma’s wedding, where former and current New Direction members paired off the night. The obvious sparks between Finn and Rachel started huge online debates, and the video stayed in the YouTube most watched for a few weeks – not a bad feat.

5

Losing My Religion…

This was a video that sparked a big debate – Cory disagreed with series music director Adam Anders about how it should be performed, making the headlines everywhere. Whilst Adam wanted an upbeat, happy version, Cory thought the song should be angry and dramatic. Cory eventually won, and this emotional, raw version proved a big hit – with a great matching video.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Just the Way You Are…

Bruno Mars songs proved especially popular on Glee, with their current feel and upbeat vibe. Just The Way You Are was no exception, and it was another track perfectly executed by Cory.

7

Marry You…

This was another song that Cory and Glee fans voted for in their thousands – and it was just as popular just after it first aired. Gleeks around the world had waited patiently for the wedding day, where Rachel and Finn were about to get married and sing another Bruno Mars hit, Marry You, as their toast.

8

Somebody to Love…

This was a group performance to provide a dramatic close to series one, but Finn’s lead was widely complimented, and fans loved it. While a lot of the fans hadn’t heard the song before, Queen’s original release began climbing again shortly after it’s release, and Cory commented on being asked to sing it “Everywhere he went”. It’s a great song, and it’s very well sung!

9

Go Your Own Way…

This might have been a Rachel Berry (played by Cory’s girlfriend Lea Michele) solo, but Finn definitely made his mark too. Throughout the video he can be seen cheeky eye-balling at her from the drumkit, making it a very memorable video. It’s got that genuine Cory Monteith humor to it.

Born Cory Allan Michael Monteith in Alberta, Canada in May 1982, Cory certainly touched a lot of hearts. Hundreds of heartfelt tributes have been paid across social media since the news broke, and it’s clear that Cory will leave behind a strong legacy. Feel free to leave your favorite moments or thoughts here. RIP Cory Monteith.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I feel attatched to Cory, im not sure why his passing has hit me hard but l will definately miss him and that beautiful crooked smile

It should be cancelled. This is a sign. They should give it up before more actors perish.

I love you so much Cory!

We love you Cory. We will not forget about you. Prayers. You're an angel. Rest in peace.

:( we will always love you

I can't bring myself to watch any of my Glee DVDs yet and don't think I will be able to for a long time. I saw them in concert and got a high five from Cory during a performance. Still can't believe he's gone.

RIP :(
