The pilot episode of the show was broadcast on May 19, 2009 and the first season began airing on September 9, 2009. The show was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. Murphy selects all music featured within the series himself, with the intent of maintaining a balance between show tunes and chart hits. Songs featured on the show are available for digital download through iTunes up to two weeks before new episodes air, and through other digital outlets and mobile carriers a week later.
Their debut single, "Don't Stop Believin'", a cover of the 1981 Journey song, was a top ten hit, and was certified platinum in Australia and gold in the US. The group's cover of The All-American Rejects' "Gives You Hell" reached number one in Ireland, giving them their first number one single.

The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.
Just the Way You Are
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say...
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say...
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are
Yeah...
The song "Just the Way You Are" by the Glee Cast, originally written and performed by Bruno Mars, is a sweet and romantic love song. The lyrics of the song express the singer's admiration for his partner's beauty and make an attempt to reassure her that she doesn't have to change anything about herself since he loves her the way she is. The singer is enchanted by her eyes, which he feels outshine the stars, and her hair, which falls perfectly without any effort. He finds her to be so beautiful and tries to let her know about it every day. However, he also acknowledges that his partner doesn't always believe his compliments and doesn't see herself the way he sees her. He professes that he wouldn't want to change a thing about her, and that he would love her even if she were to stay the same forever.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like
They’re not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh, you knows, you know, you know
I’d never ask you to change
If perfect’s what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same
So, don’t even bother asking if you look ok
0:59 When I see your face
There’s not a thing
That I would change
'Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
1:14 (Finn and Kurt dance with each other.)
And when you smile
The whole world stops
And stands for a while
'Cause girl you’re amazing
The way you are
1:39 (Finn and Kurt’s brother hug)
The way you are
Girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face

@haley8254
It's totally heartwarming when Kurt and Finn dance together during this song because earlier in this episode, Finn wouldn't dance with him just because the choir room door was open and he was afraid people would see, but now he doesn't even think twice about doing it in front of a ton of people awwwww
@tikihead
Yes, that was the point lmfao. He wanted to apologize for that and show him he didn't care anymore.
@tashahespelgriffith1514
Love Finn
@lightningjimmyjoejohnson8499
You can really see his development as a character. RIP Cory/Finn
@franciscoeduardomaldonadog4224
Se que Finn nunca quiso ser rudo con Kurt haciendolo sentir mal, creo que al nunca estar en una situación así y menos con alguien como Kurt qué ama la moda y el decorado se frustró y no supo como expresarlo y claro lo único que sabe es que para atacar a alguien gay se le puede decir de cierta manera y el lo hizo pero no sabía en parte qué estaba siendo un idiota y viéndose como alguien homofobico. No estoy justificandolo, pero entiendo que para alguien que es straight y que nunca ha tenido amigos Gaya le es raro algunas cosas ya que para el a veces todo es azul y ya pero para Kurt eran colores y más y creo que debemos entender que no supo como manejar la situación, pero lo importante es que el se dio cuenta y aprendió. Pudo no hacerlo, pero lo hizo 🥰❤️
@samjack8300
Kurt dosent deserve Finn. Finn is too good for him
@Castheidiot
hands down one of the most beautiful moments in the show. it's really sweet how finn chooses to prove kurt he accepts him as his family and i think it's one of the first times in the show you can see kurt happy too. i disagree with people taking it as if kurt felt serenaded or anything because he was already into blaine at this point anyway
@androcus1
Think earlier in this episode at how Finn rejected Kurt's sense of decor in the bedroom at the house as well as how uncomfortable he was at school learning to dance with Kurt. He really hurt Kurt's feelings badly.
This was his apology to Kurt and demonstration of his full acceptance of Kurt.
He so needed to do this.
@greenbrown7776
Kurt really just wanted a "big brother" to accept him and love him. And Finn stepped up.
@rishiheda8186
@androcus1 it was not the same episode. Finn rejected Kurt's sense of decor in the bedroom in season 1 episode 20. He even in a fit of frustration said f*ggy about Kurt's sense of decor, the uncomfortableness about dancing with Kurt, yeah that was this episode. This video however is season 2 episode 8/9 'Furt' where it's Carole and Burt's wedding
