The "Glee" Cast Looks Back On The Song That Started It Allbuzzfeed.com

Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, and Kevin McHale: “Don’t Stop Believin’” in “Pilot” (Season 1, Episode 1)
Kevin McHale: Our first real experience on that stage was “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and it felt like camp at the time because we were all trying to figure out what the hell this show was. None of us knew what we were doing.
Lea Michele: And we got in trouble.
Chris Colfer: We got in a lot of trouble for goofing off during Matt [Morrison (Mr. Schue)]’s coverage.
Michele: When they were filming Matt, we were messing around so much that [creator] Ryan [Murphy] came up and yelled at us.
Colfer: I wasn’t messing around. I was very serious.
Michele: He was back then, but we broke him.
Amber Riley: That was the first time — of many times — we got in trouble with Ryan.
McHale: The best memory I have is of us all sitting on the stage and getting to know each other in between takes. Also, that number was probably one of the simplest we’ve ever done, and it took a day and a half to shoot. It was also re-choreographed at least 12 times.

Thanks everyone!!

Congrats Josh for meeting Lea!  what venue was that? it looked like a clothing store? I wonder why Lea did album signing in a clothing store? On the other hand are there any music stores left? I never know where singers get their album signed these days, because i have never been to one.

Yes! It was a clothing store called Rue 21, at the mall. Never heard of it before, but it was pretty cool. It was weird buying a physical album, let alone at a clothing store. But it went with the demo.

Congratulation, Josh!!!   
You got to meet Chris and Lea, wow.

BTW: I love that you told her she is beautiful.  

     I knew she'd get a lot of "i love yous" and "thank yous" and this was the one thing I wanted to say, so i'm glad i had the nerve! So i have this, and telling Chris he's my male celeb i'd go gay for

I am really proud for him! Honestly, anyone who can escape Glee with a new project, praise them!   

[ColferInspired]

A lot of ones from Glee have been picked up for movies or shows.

This show has launched careers.

That can't be disputed in any way shape or form.

True! I also noticed MANY projects Chris been offered or considered in, but since he is tied to Glee he can't   
Hopefully their will be even more projects Chris can do once he is free Call me greedy, but I NEED my Colfer fix for the rest of my life   

[ColferInspired]

Lea is making a cameo appearance on AHS: Freakshow.

Funny how Darren isn't.   

I know Chris wanted to at one stage.

[ChrisColfersLightning]

I just....

unpopular opinion of Lea and the clones:

[ColferInspired]

I just....

unpopular opinion of Lea and the clones:

Darren won't, because he would have already asked, and by him saying he would play a corpse, Ryan still said no.

We would have heard about now if he was going to be on the show.

Lea probably is the one that will play a corpse most probably as it is just a cameo. Maybe a few lines or line, then dead.

Good for him. I'm of the opinion that Blake was one of the stronger actors in the cast. He just had the thankless job of being cast as Finn 3.0.

^That list has a surprising lack of Darren, and a probably not so surprising abundance of old cast, Quarterback and 100th songs.  

"The people have spoken."  

[Buenos]

Not surprising to me, Naya is the singer who pops out throughout the list.  It's amazing how RIB downplays her appeal with the audience, just because she has a  vagina.

Glorfindel, teasing you, but you do realize that so so many of your posts reference back to a specific actor/character not named Chris/Kurt?  Methinks someone has an unrequited crush.   

[Glorfindel]

^If you mean Adam Lambert, then yes.

Adjusted per Adam's  "Marry the Night" added.   and other songs...

http://www.bustle.com/articles/19933-how-will-chris-colfers-stint-as-a-glee-writer-change-the-feel-of-the-show

Chris Colfer is an established quadruple threat. The actor, singer, dancer, and author is only 23 years old, but he has a Golden Globe, a SAG award, a New York Times best-selling series, and a hit TV show under his belt. Quit making us look so damn bad, Colfer! While we’re mainly in tune his nature-defying high-pitched notes and impeccable comedic timing on Glee, we’re soon going to experience his most valuable untapped resource: his writing. According to reports, Colfer will write an episode late in the fifth season and he obviously accepted the golden opportunity. Glee seems like the place to work, right?!

Not only will Colfer will get the opportunity to hone his craft, but this move will mark an overall positive effect on the show itself. With the series winding down, it isn’t exactly a bad thing to breathe new life and a different perspective into an aging and tired show. We know we can trust Colfer to do the plot and characters justice because he’s invested. Having been on the show since the pilot, he grasps not only the direction of the show but the integrity of it. He has the unique ability and opportunity to perfect the formula of the show, because he has seen it from both sides of the spectrum, as an actor and a writer.

Colfer had joked that with the free reign he’s been given, maybe he’ll just selfishly do a Miley Cyrus tribute episode. Although we’d sell our first-born to see Kurt mimic a dance routine from the Bangerz Tour, we know that with this opportunity, he’s going to do something a lot more poignant than that. We just hope that whatever direction Colfer decides to take it in, that it feels like the old Glee again. The Glee that took the nation by storm and “punched High School musical in the stomach.” No more preaching, no more tragedy. We’d just like some good ol’ fashioned musical fun, please. With a side of dry humor and snark, of course. The show has really been on the right track lately and we’re optimistic for the last season and a half. Go get em’, Colfer!

Just love her and I love her ambivalent take on Klaine because it sort of mirrors mine...

One excerpt:

I’m still not a fan of the relationship. I’m still not shipping it. But I’m 100% more interested in it playing out in Glee after seeing Kurt and Blaine in this episode. I still want Kurt to break it off and be free because I think they’re just not right for each other, but there is something that feels real and satisfyingly fucked up in the fact that Glee’s precious ‘the heart wants what the heart wants’ trope is starting to play out in this way.

Blaine came to the brink of a Crazy Terri suppression of the love his life, and he realised it, and stepped back from it, and is going to work on himself to be better than that. I can give him a little credit for that.

So. Odd place to be. Enjoying the drama without rooting for the relationship. Maybe it’s because I’m a Kurtsie to the core, and Blaine is just so much fuel to the fire of Kurt drama and development. I’m enthusiastically and exclusively rooting for Kurt in all of this. Not Klaine.

That's similar to my take, if the Klaine relationship they show character development for Kurt, I'm good.  This last episode Kurt was able to voice his fears and frustrations/concerns and it was SO refreshing.

BTS: What is the craziest thing you've done on Glee? It's the original cast members (no Blam, and no Lea either):



Chris said "Darren and I..." in the video, so of course the tinhatters say that means CC is on.

[brisallie]

:sigh: oh delusionals shippers are delusionals.

We know that was that a crazy moment, I'd say wounded, for Chris because the poor boy fell over and over on the the floor.

[Glorfindel]

Chris said "Darren and I..." in the video, so of course the tinhatters say that means CC is on.

Might as well give in now and face the facts, Karen, now that Chris basically confirmed it.  

But really:
And they wonder why Chris and Darren don't take pictures together nor interact in social media, when the simple words "Darren and I..." make those tinhatters wet their panties and go dance around in a circle naked? 



Lol, see how Fox PR is doing its best to stipulate that the video only has "original cast". That's how afraid they are that people turn away and are not interested anymore as soon as there's even a slight possibility of seeing the noobs or Blam.

Glee facebook posted a competition for all you americans out there:



So I guess this is the same kind of event they had last year (?) in NY with the walk throughs and the golf carts.

So we'll have wait to see who represents on the 12th of May I guess.

[Jellyrolls]

I was going to enter, but I'll be on a cruise that day.
