'Glee's' high and low notes: Cory Monteith's Finn
Next Wednesday, December 9th, "Glee"
will finish the first half of its inaugural season, not returning to
our TVs until next April. To toast the freshman series before its
extended hiatus, we're counting down the characters' high and low notes. On tap today? Finn Hudson...
High Note: Being McKinley High's Mr. Congeniality
Finn's first shining moment involves him hitting some actual high notes. Remember when the boys performed the "It's My Life"/"Confessions" mash-up? If not, see below. Finn took center stage for that number and killed it. Sadly though, it's disqualified from our contest, since he was all hopped up on "vitamins" at the time. Instead, we'll go with an imagined montage of young Mr. Hudson's sweet nature: Saving the wheelchair-bound Artie from what could have been a serious port-a-potty disaster, gently scolding Puck for bullying vulnerable kids like Kurt and befriending outcasts such as Rachel. Sure, he kind of wants to get in her pants, so it's not completely selfless behavior. But it's clear that at Finn's core, he's a good person.
Low Note: Serenading the sonogram of Quinn's unborn child
We've got a bit of a mixed bag here. Yes, it's sweet that Finn was dying to express his love for the fetus he thinks he fathered. But singing passionately to a MacBook computer with moving footage of his girlfriend's uterus was totally weird. Especially considering the low probability of Quinn being pregnant by him since they never had sex. I mean, dude, are you really as dumb as you look?
Before The Fat Lady Sings: Let's lose a little bit of that naivete. Finn needs to wake up and get wise to the fact that his best friend banged his lady and the baby is theirs.
Have any other best and worst Finn Hudson moments in mind?

Out of every single Glee song I have to say that the "It's My Life/Confessions" song is my least favorite. His vocals just aren't powerful enough to carry the song.
ITS MY LIFE WAS AWESOME, I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB. HIS VOCALS MIGHT NOT BE LEA MICHELE'S OR CHENOWETH'S BUT HE DELIVERED A GREAT PERFORMANCE. LOVE YOU FINN.
Actually, I really enjoyed the sonogram serenade, especially considering it was followed by that wonderful moment with his mom.
For me, the low point would be leading Rachel on in order to get her back to Glee Club. That was more out of character.
That serenade was a weak solo. I'll Stand By You is a good song but not one of the show's best moments.
Thanks for sharing the mash-up video again...forgot how good it was!!!
I have to say the most impressive feat of the show this season has been maintaining dramatic credibility despite the naive Finn thinking he could make a girl pregnant without actually having sex with her.
low--- how stupid can you be to be persuaded that the baby is yours when you did not have sex?!? ... go back to biology finn...
He has a premature ejaculation problem, that is why he thinks he could've gotten Quinn pregnant.
