Any and every
Glee fan knows that this Thursday's episode is going to be tough to watch. Episode 5x03, titled "The Quarterback", will focus on the life and death of Finn Hudson. This of course is a product of actor
Cory Monteith's death back in July. One of the moments from "The Quarterback" that audiences are already buzzing about is Lea Michele's cover of "To Make You Feel My Love".
Glee creator
Ryan Murphy spoke out about this song choice, commenting, "She’s ultimately the person who approved and chose that song. She wanted to do something personal. I don’t think she’ll ever share why she chose that song. It was very sad; everybody was wrecked. It was really hard.” Honestly, we don't think there's enough tissues in the world to get through "The Quarterback". Check out what else Murphy had to say about Michele and the episode below:
“The episode is about how you mourn people and how lives can make a difference,” he says, adding: “Particularly with the Rachel character, she struggles with it [the loss] all season. It’s not just done, buried and goodbye.”
“She [Michele] was actually deeply in it [on set] – her story kicks in during the last half,” he says. “It was very brave of her to do, because there were some cast members, who we won’t name, who didn’t want to do a grief episode, didn’t want to do a memorial episode. So, Lea really put herself in the bottom of the heap and soldiered on.”
“Lea is very heavy in this season,” he confirms. “She was big last season, but she’s really big – and back. Make no mistake, Lea’s the female star this season. And, I think that’s really good.”
