'Glee's' high and low notes: Lea Michele's Rachel
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, starting first with Ms. Rachel Berry...
High Note: Romancing Finn and Puck
Okay, yeah, both boys are either involved with or
still lusting after Quinn Fabray, but when we saw Rachel fall for them, she was actually relatable. Likable even. The type-A, uber-talented, self-involved know-it-all who's usually alienating her classmates let her guard down to expose a vulnerable side. And, as a bonus, we got some super solid musical performances from those
awkward courtships. "No Air" is certainly on our list (see below).
Low Note: Romancing Mr. Schue
Sure, Schue's got it going on, what with the rapping, the break dancing, the boy band'ing and the lindy hopping too. But Rachel's eye-on-the-prize, I'll-get-what-I-want attitude coupled with her inappropriate crush on the teacher just made her creepier than usual. Infiltrating his home, cooking and cleaning for him right under his crazy wife's nose. Come on, Berry, you're better than that...
Before The Fat Lady Sings: As the fall season winds to a close, we've got many wishes for R.B... not gonna lie, would be great to see Finn cry on her shoulder when he finds out he's not really Quinn's baby daddy. But if we can't have that, we'll settle for a behind-the-scenes look at the Berry home. We know her parents are two gay dudes, but what a gay duo they must be, having produced this particular specimen.
Have any other best and worst Rachel Berry moments in mind?

Lea Michele has it all. Her voice alone is incredible, she can act and she is easy on the eyes. Go Lea!
Rachel is my favorite character. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, but I also think she's a fascinating, multi-faceted character. An enigma, assured about her talent but extremely vulnerable.
My favorite high moment is when she returned to the glee club during invitationals for the pivotal show performance, Somebody to Love. She realized what it meant to be part of a team, and I think she hit another high in tonight's episode, as she brought and held the group together. Lea Michele is doing an incredible job portraying Rachel's depth and humanity, and this is a character I have really come to love.
LOVE her!
So when will we see Idina Menzel as Rachel's biological mother?
I like that we never really see Racheal's fathers. I think it would explain a little too much and make it a little too real.
Going along with the style of the show, Racheal is an over-the-top character. She's unrealistic in many ways, which is what makes her so entertaining.
Showing her two fathers would be like showing Maris on Fraiser or remaking a classic psychological horror film that never really showed the villian.
Some things are better left to the imagination.
- and adding a cgi monster to the film
forgot to include that in my example of the horror film.
A fabulous show, great talent!

Have you seen her sexy photos on====onenightcupid.com====where you can find lots of sexy girl to go with you for onenightcupid.BE FREE? She is really hot with Bikini. And I wonder who is the man besides her. They look very happy and lovely.,you can have a try.
Please Note: There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am at this moment starting that Rachel's two fathers will eventually be played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.
