Naya Rivera - Mine

In a previous post of a song covered on the musical show Glee by this artist, I said, “Naya, the things you do to me!” Evidently, one of those things is to make me like a Taylor Swift song.  Curses!!  The scene in which this singer/actress's character sings this song holds the sole honor of making me tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch it.  It's crazy.  Aside from the famous finale of the series Six Feet Under, nothing else in a TV series has had made me tear up like that even once, so that is not something that happens to me lightly. At least I didn't bawl over it like a lot of other viewers did.
Note: It’s in HD!

Here’s the scene in which an abridged version appeared.  For some reason this is like the only performance the official channel hasn’t uploaded, maybe because they’re trying to spare me of my misery. T_T  So all I could find now were lower quality videos like this one, which crops the top and bottom of the video, but you get the idea:

Naya Rivera, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Amber Riley - Shake It Out

I maintain that this is one of the absolute best covers the TV show Glee has ever done. While I’ve posted songs with Naya’s smoky vocals and Amber’s breathtaking singing before, this song is a rare opportunity to hear Jenna’s voice, and she does not disappoint. It’s a shame the show largely ignores her. Their voices harmonize so beautifully, the song is arranged excellently, and the original song is lovely to begin with. The original artist is Florence + the Machine.

Here’s the scene from the show in which it appeared, which you can also watch in HD:

Naya Rivera - Songbird

NAYA, WHAT YOU DO TO ME. This is the cover of Fleetwood Mac’s song, from the popular TV series Glee. I'm so glad they're having this artist sing more on the show, because she is one of my favorite singers on there. Her voice is usually so sultry so it was interesting to hear her sing such a sweet, heartfelt style for a change.  This gets me all sentimental, probably in large part because the scene it was used in was a rare moment of vulnerability for the character.

She’s great at emoting with her voice AND her face:

Naya Rivera - Back to Black

Naya's voice makes me meltttttttt. A couple weeks ago I had the chance to meet this talented singer/actress FOR FREE but I didn't go because I'M AN IDIOT. And now I want to punch myself in the face. ...Anyway, this is the Glee cover of Amy Winehouse's song.
