I didn't catch the Glee Cory Monteith/Finn Hudson tribute episode, entitled "The Quarterback," in reference to his character also being a football quarterback, when it premiered last week, but I saw the performances online, and let me tell you, it was a great episode, but it was also very sad.
It should be noted that while Cory Monteith died of drug addiction in real life, in the Glee universe, the cause of death of his character, Finn Hudson, was never revealed, instead left up to the interpretation of the viewers. However, at the end of the episode, there was a public service announcement recorded by the Glee cast regarding drug addiction, which did not air in Canada because the phone number displayed on screen was an American drug addition help phone number, and no international version had been made.
Lea Michele/Rachel Berry sang "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele, which was a good song, and she sang it beautifully, but I was expecting her to cover "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (from the Titanic soundtrack), or "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill (from the Pearl Harbor soundtrack). Michele and Monteith were dating in real life, and you could see the grief on her face during the episode. Other songs performed included "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry, and "Seasons of Love" from the Rent soundtrack.
