there's a reason why they finally won nationals when they sang this song...this is incredible and always will be my favorite performance on glee

You know why this was so good? Because they actually had good choreography and not the kind where all they do is run in circles.

see rachel pointing at fin during 3:11 like saying "listen to his voice bitches" awesome song man.

Gotta say I was never a huge fan of Finn's voice (always felt Puck, Jesse, Blaine, Artie, etc. all had stronger voices), but this was one performance where he absolutely outshines everyone else, including Lea. He was incredible here.

and i feel like rachel stepped back a bit to let finn shine

You could tell that they knew they were going to win by the time this song rolled around. They had that energy.

STOP RIGHT THERE!!! BEST MOMENT EVER!

Will never get over Rachel's "stop right there." Or Finn's performance here. Such a great episode.

of course the whole cast put their heart and soul into this performance, it was their last one ALL together. It wouldn't be like this again after season 3, last true New Directions performance with Cory.

This performance really showed how much both Finn and Cory matured as a performer I mean my god his vocals at 3:11 are absolutely fantastic. RIP to one hell of a man

Even though it wasn´t a real competition you can actually tell that Cory was performing his heart out, just listening to his vocals 3:11 I get chills every single time! RIP Cory Monteith

one of the best performances of glee ever

Goddamn Finchel slayed in this song

The last good season, I watched the whole show, but nothing was like the first three seasons

This was the best National's performance in Glee history. All three songs. To think where they came from, from season 1 to season 3 such an improvement and it made the win even more emotional.

I just realized that the last performance of the original New Directions, is a big showstopping dance number just like the one they saw (in awe) performed by Vocal Adrenaline, in the first season, when ND was just a little choir of newbies :D

I was never vocally impressed by Finn. Never. Like I never understood why they tried to shove him down our throats. But then. . . this happened!!!! He was amazing in this performance! His vocals were so on point. He outperformed EVERYONE!!! This is truly my favorite performance from the entire series.

This is my favorite performance of Finn's! Corey really put his all into it, if his sweaty face by the end was any indication.

Finchel, Klaine & Brittana all had moments in this ❤️ the original meant endgames 💔💔

Best performance hands fucking down

"Stop right there" Literally chills everytime

I like that they gave almost all of the original characters a chance to be in the spotlight❤️

I really really miss this era of Glee! The cast was incredible and the songs were awesome!

did anybody else notice Finn couldn't keep his eyes off Rachel

Honestly, they could have ended the series at the end of season 3 with them winning and they wouldn't have lost a following or credibility.

One of my favorite Glee performances ever!!! And Cory sounded SO good!

At 1:26 when finn/cory sings 'paradise by the dashboard light' holy shit it gives me goosebumps and makes me want to cry

3:11 Lea pointing at Cory, do you hear that amazing voice!

damn, compare this with their season 2 nationals performances and you can see why they finally won

Unoffical final

One of the things I really loved about this episode: with this set of 3 numbers, New Directions really, truly, by any objective measure beat Vocal Adrenaline. It was the first and only time that they just plain out-sang and out-danced them when both groups were at full force and trying their very best. How do you win Nationals? You have to earn it by beating Vocal Adrenaline fair and square. And they did it. As a Mom, I was so proud of these kids, I felt like my heart was going to burst.

best performance. hands down to fin hudson.

This is probably one of the best perfomances in all Glee! It was the perfect goodbye from the best glee club!

the best glee song EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CORY PUT HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS, THIS WAS THE BEST HE EVER SANG!

Lea's "Stop right there!!!" is the best!

Oh Cory(': I love how Rachel gave him the glory. Most of the song, the spotlight was on Finn rather than her this time, and although her voice is glorious, this made me really happy(: 3:11

Did anyone notice Mercedes' voice at the end? It was pretty cool! This really is one of the best songs they did.

my favourite part of this performance is at 3.13. It's Lea's face when she points at Cory, it's just so happy and you can really tell that they had so much performing this song. It's definitely one of my favourites in the show.

Loved Finn's voice in this Song it really highlighted his raw and unbelievable talent 💙

Cory is covered in sweat doing this. He WORKED in this song!

The vocals on this song are SO POWERFUL. It always brings me to tears at the end.

I honestly love this perfomance so much, because you can hear clearly Klaine, Brittana and Mercedes sing at different times, and they slay their notes.

Best best best performance of GLEE ❤️

Gah, this is probably (in fact, it's *definitely*) my top favorite Glee song and performance ever, but I haven't listened to it in quite a long time, and watching it now just gave me really, really hefty emotions about Cory again!

2:22 MIKE WTF

every time I watch this I jus watch Finn trying to dance

This will always be my favourite New Directions number. They all looked they had so much fun, especially Cory.

Onw of my favorite performances on the show.

For me, this performance is the BEST way to remember him ♥ Best cast performance and best Cory's too. We miss you down here!

finchel has never slayed this hard

They aren't trying to do better than the original one. They do a cover because they love and respect the original song.

2:04 who else saw kurt boogyin in the backround

Hands down one of the best performances of the whole show!! Finn should have been offered a spot in NYADA for this song

You know, I go back and I watch performances like this and I think to myself, what talent, but then I remember, he's gone. And then I just want to cry at such talent was taken away too soon...

CORY/FINN LEFT ME SPEECHLESS AFTER THIS PERFORMANCE!!! man his vocals in here are insanely good. best glee performance ever.

3:10 Leah so proud of her man :)

at 1:29 did anyone else realise Brittany holding Santana's head

This is hands down the best glee performance ever (thats sayng a lot) holy crap rachel and finn!!!

There's so many great things to say about this amazing performance I'm overwhelmed by feelings. I don't even know where to start. So I'll just say - this is the only Glee I need. With those people on that stage, every couple together as it should be, enjoying each other. Miss this Glee and of course Finn. The show must go on all over the place... or something

One of Cory's best performances, imo. Loved this cover.

this performance is crazy good. I remember watching it for the first time back when it aired and feeling so blown away and genuinely proud of them. Glee may be a fictional TV show, but it holds such a special place in my heart.

What I would give to see Mike and Brittany's dance in this performance.

This will ALWAYS be my favourite performance on glee. It was finns song. Yes, Rachel had amazing parts in it but Finn finally got to show off how strong of a voice he really had. Many people said he shouldn't be the lead male because others had better voices but he proved them wrong in this. I miss him so much.

Who is watching this in 2016 and wishing glee hadn't finished

While Vocal Adrenaline had Unique, New Directions had Klaine and Brittana. It was too much love. HAHAHA. Love love love this performance.

You can tell they knew they were going to win, the energy in this was unbelievable and it put a smile on my face.

The world needs a glee reboot so much!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Best song. Best episode. My God what a high you get from this one.

How fun it is to just sing and dance all day for a living! Too bad I don't possess those talents...); Gotta get back to churning out reports and presentations now...

My favorite Glee song FOREVER

I was watching when I was secondary school student. Watched as highschool student. Still watching heading to university. No shame. Glad I watched. Learnt lot. Met Gleeks all around the world. So thankfull for what they have given to me, to us. Thank you Glee.

Everything in this performance was perfect. The dresses, most people sang in this, and the balance choreography, and song choice

Best performance EVER!!!! :) :) Just amazing!! This is the best of Glee right here: top notch Lea, sweet outfits, winning nationals, and Cory!! :)

This and the Journey medley are the best performances Glee has had!

Fins voice just got stronger and stronger I miss him so much rip and carry on singing in heaven my friend I was lucky to have met him great guy

its 2017 and i'm still listening this amazing cover. Cory, we miss you so much

I think Finn's dance was the best part of the beginning. I like so much this song and their passion on the stage was truly amazing, love forever this cast together

When you watch this performance you can feel the energy and i personally think thats why they won they gave so much energy it was just fun

I periodically come back to this number and every single time I am so impressed by Finn/Cory. Like wowza he could sing his ass off. He absolutely owned this entire number and he knew it. Chillssss

Cory was the absolute star of this performance. He just tore that stage up!

Cory OWNED this song

Best Glee performance ever

I watch this 20x a day,, the amount of LOVE i have for this performance. Definitely their BEST! Finn is so amazing!!!

Seven years without Cory Monteith. Rest in peace Naya Rivera. Love you both 💔

People never appreciate Cory's voice, he was really good This performance was so perfect to make a good storyline for Rachel and Finn... in this performance Whoopi Goldberg's character make the decision to accept Rachel in NYADA, when Rachel sang her solo, Whoopi Goldberg's character she was not impressed. It was this performance that she was excited but Finn was the star this time. Just imagen how good it would have been season 4 if Finn had been accepted but Rachel not. this could have caused great drama without having another love tringle(brody) sorry my bad english

Best performance everrr

Honestly no one could’ve pulled off this song better than Finn. It was just something about his voice in this song.

When Lea Michele (Rachel) sings "stop right there, I got to know right now" it gives me chills! Then Cory's (Finn) vocal abilities in this song just shine! Great cast performance! Seriously my current favourite! Miss glee, R.I.P Cory!

I think Carmen Tibideaux should have offered a spot at NYADA to Fin after this performance! I know it's not what the show had planned, but it would have made so much sense and made his whole what to do with my life problem easier.

Lol anyone noticed at 3:08 Naya kinda pushes Kevin away

I love the very end where they bring their arms up together. What a show.

This will always be one of my top 15 fav competition performances in glee❤️❤️❤️

finn is everything here

Lea's vocals are like so perfect, she clearly has the greatest voice of the show. Her voice is a gift from God it is so heavenly you know

Vocal Adrenaline had Unique. New Directions had Klaine and Brittana. I think I know who wins that competition 😛

The Way Lea Smiles And Points Cory At 3:10 Cause He Absolutely MURDERS That Note :D

I love how he looks at her the whole song! 💖💖

I was actually really impressed by this performance. Anyone who does this really butchers it normally, but this? This was AMAZING.

Realmente miro estos vídeos y lloro como una loca condenada, sabiendo que veo la serie desde la primera temporada, desde el primer episodio, y ver que en este episodio ganaron fue la mejor sensación de la vida, lo había esperado tanto, sintiendo que hasta yo luché por eso. Esta es una serie que la sentí hasta con el alma, y una de las mejores performance's de ellos. Extraño a Corey, gente, basta.

One of my favorite performence! I love it seeing Finn and Rachel singing together this way.
