This time tomorrow, the show that has taken up the majority of my life for the last six years will be over. I have no idea why, but Glee has had a significant impact on my life since it began - I've fallen in love with the characters, I love all (well, most) of the musical performances and have laughed/cried/got angry at all the storylines that Ryan Murphy has thrust at Gleeks. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me that Glee cheers on the outcasts, and tells you it's okay to be different (usually through some cheesey but loveable musical numbers). Oh, and gives you an unusually odd obsession with one particular gay power couple... (KLAINE!?!)
So without further ado, here is the first part of my top 40 musical moments of all time;
40. "Being Good Isn't Good Enough" - by Rachel Berry
Rachel stuns the audience of the NYADA winter showcase with this Barbara Streisand number.
39. "I'm Still Here" - by Kurt Hummel
Kurt comes back fighting after his attack with this song from "Follies".
38. "Getting Married Today" - by Emma Pillsbury, Will Schuester and the guests of Wemma's wedding
This number really displays Emma's incredible rapping skills, shortly before she runs away from her own wedding.
37. "Run the World (Girls)" - by Brittany Pierce, Santana Lopez and the Girls of McKinley High School
As part of her promotion for school president election, Brittany enrols all the girls of McKinley for an empowering dance number.
36. "Pumpin' Blood" - by Rachel Berry, Kurt Hummel, Blaine Anderson, Mercedes Jones, Santana Lopez, Sam Evans and the Gay Club
After Rachel's killer opening night, she decides to miss the after party and hit a gay venue with her pals.
35. "I'm the Greatest Star" - by Kurt Hummel
Kurt auditions for Tony in the school production of "West Side Story" and displays some sai sword skills and some impressive bar swinging.
34. "Pure Imagination" - by the original New Directions
The glee club pays an emotional tribute to Sue Sylvester's sister at her funeral, with a dedication to her favourite film.
33. "I Am Changing" - by Kurt Hummel and Mercedes Jones
In a bid to get Rachel and Santana to become friends again, Kurt and Mercedes join together to sing my favourite song from Dreamgirls.
32. "Smooth Criminal" - by Sebastian Smythe and Santana Lopez
One of the oddest Glee performances became one of the most praised. Head Warbler Sebastian and head bitch Santana fight in song, accompanied by cellos?
31. "Love Shack" - by Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson with the original New Directions
Kurt was surprised by Blaine on Valentine's Day with this disco classic.
30. "Pompeii" - by the Alumni
In the final moments of Season Five, each of our favourite alumni went their separate ways to this Bastille hit.
29. "Shake It Out" - by Santana Lopez, Mercedes Jones and Tina Cohen-Chang
In one of the most moving storylines that Glee has ever had, the girls of New Directions sing a cover of Florence and the Machine to Coach Beiste, after her violent relationship ends.
28. "Anything Goes/Anything You Can Do" by Harmony and the NYADA Hopefuls
Kurt and Rachel are astounded by the talent of NYADA's hopefuls.
27. "Boogie Shoes" by Wade "Unique" Adams
Unique in her musical debut was an amazing moment in Glee's third season.
26. "Suddenly Seymour" by Rachel Berry and Blaine Anderson
Two of Glee's best singers collaborated for this Little Shop of Horrors track in Glee's last season.
25. "Brave" by Rachel Berry and Santana Lopez
As Santana begins to grow jealous of Rachel's success, the two join together for this Sara Bareilles song.
24. "Rose's Turn" by Kurt Hummel
My third song from Kurt (he's my favourite character, ok?!!) is his first solo in Glee - after Kurt's dad takes a liking to future stepbrother Finn, Kurt belts out this Gypsy number.
23. "Toxic" by Will Schuester and New Directions
The New Directions cause an unexpected school sex riot when they sing this Britney Spears tune in a school assembly.
22. "Give Up the Funk" by the Original New Directions
New Directions completely mug off rivals Vocal Adrenaline by putting on an outstanding funk number, with some incredible dance moves.
21. The Season 6 Invitationals: "It Must Have Been Love", "Father Figure" and "All Out of My Love" by the final New Directions
Our final batch really stole the spotlight with their three love numbers, aimed to melt Sue Sylvester's heart (it worked). I couldn't pick a favourite - with the Kurt and Blaine kiss during It Must Have Been Love, Roderick's incredible voice in Father Figure and the general amazingness of All Out of Love, I combined the three.
The final 20 will be released soon!
