Top 10 Best Glee Characters

Going from a background character to a fan favorite speaks to the depth her character was given throughout the 6 seasons. Santana highlighted the intricacies of the human condition and proved that the most flawed of characters still have heart. Naya's portrayal of Santana could not have been done by anyone else. She easily has the best voice, and her one-liners made the show.

Santana and Brittany provided 90% of the comedic relief in Glee and did so flawlessly. Putting the two pretty cheerleaders together changed the opinions of so many people all over the world, and I'll forever stand by that.

Something about Kurt that I've always admired is his bravery and pride. He isn't afraid to be himself, and that has spoken to me and a lot of people I know.

His determination to not let the world get to him is inspiring and beautiful. He's always been one of the strongest characters on the show, persevering despite horrendous bullying and showing that he is himself, he is always going to be himself, and that no one can tell him what he can or cannot do or become.

He's been a symbol throughout the show of how being true to yourself is the best way to be, because lies are just that: a lie. And nothing is worth giving up the best person you could ever become just because someone tells you that you shouldn't, can't, or won't.

He is such a nice person and has an incredible gift. One of the best male voices we have on Glee. He is so cute and loves helping others. And come on, who doesn't love Blaine? He is polite, kind, and has an interesting personality.

Especially in the beginning of season 2, he was so mysterious and charming. Plus, he makes the perfect match with Kurt. I love Blaine even more every time he encourages Kurt when he has his doubts about something, when they laugh and spend time together, and when they kiss.

Blaine is like an angel for Kurt. He is the person that made his life more beautiful. So, Blaine is AWESOME!

Rachel Barbra Berry is an icon! Yes, she could be obnoxious, arrogant, and selfish. Yes, she did some awful things. But so did almost every single character on this show.

Glee is a comedy (even though it really should've been more of a drama), and the writers often made her do outlandish, crazy things just to cause drama and move the plot along. Her character development was constantly thrown into the trashcan, but we all know continuity was practically non-existent on this show.

So, in real life, would I be friends with her? Probably not. But she was a damn entertaining character to watch, one I always ended up rooting for. Her drive and dedication were inspiring, and she gave us so many amazing songs and iconic lines.

I pretty much only watched the last season for her. And in the end, Rachel Berry really was the face of Glee! Who knows how long the show would've lasted without her.

Brittany is just so gorgeous and sweet. The one problem was that Ryan Murphy made her insulting half the time and nice the other half. When Santana says, "You look like one of the bait girls on 'To Catch a Predator!'" Brittany responds with, "Yeah. And I'm more talented than you."

But this is literally the same person who helped Becky believe in herself and didn't blame Rachel and Finn for ruining Nationals because they were a family. Make up your mind, Ryan Murphy! Is she a mean girl, a dumb blonde, or a super talented, friendly dancer we all want her to be?

As the ultimate Gleek, I strongly believe that Glee was amazing with Cory Monteith in it. Even after his death, we could all feel his presence throughout the rest of the series. The auditorium was named after him!

Without him, many characters wouldn't have joined the Glee Club. Even though Quinn joined with a motive, it was because of Finn, and he even made the boys on his team perform the most embarrassing dance in public. He was a leader and an inspiration.

Not only were the actors and actresses on Glee affected by his death, but fans and Gleeks were affected too. I felt so sorry for Lea because Cory really touched her. Finn, you deserve number 1 on this list, not 7!

Quinn Fabray is an icon - her different levels of singing voice, her amazing dancing skills, and her storyline! For me, Quinn had the best character development in the show. I love the songs she performed.

Although it wasn't that many, all her songs in the show suit her voice and her character. I also love how classy and poised she dances, and I love how she delivers her lines, her facial expressions, and her acting skills.

Thankfully, it was Dianna Agron who portrayed her. She nailed it. She made Quinn unforgettable and an icon. I hope she will someday win an award for being a great actress. She deserves it.

Although Mercedes had some of the worst storylines in Glee, like the tot thing (and Rachel getting all the solos instead of Mercedes, like huh?!), Mercedes is kind, helpful, and always has everybody's back no matter what!

In my opinion, Mercedes is the best singer in the glee club. She is a performer and a star, not only a good singer or dancer (well, she isn't a good dancer, but still), she is an ICON!

Mercedes Jones is such an inspiring character. She doesn't mind sharing the spotlight with others. Although she is underrated on Glee, she acknowledges Rachel as one of the best singers she has ever heard. This shows her appreciation for other people.

Mercedes is someone you can relate to, with her awesome voice, personality, and unique vocal range. She is everything I want to be.

She is the only character in Glee who never once disappointed me. Even at times when she failed or lost, she was elegant and never really lost her head. She never resorted to childish drama. And though she was a compulsive liar and a psychopath, she was a mind genius, a vicious leader, and most of all - a winner, a fighter.

When she strikes, she's tall and fiery and doesn't let petty emotions get in her way. She's ruthless. But in the end, she was actually a good person. She reveled in her rage, not because she had "temper issues," but because she converted her anger and controlled it, bending it to her will.

In season one, Puck seems like a stereotypical high school jock, but later on, it's revealed that he has much more to him than that.

In the glee club, Will often seems unsure of how to deal with Puck, and he is frequently underestimated by the other glee clubbers. It seems a bit unfair that throughout McKinley, everyone almost always had someone to help them with their problems (Finn had Mr. Schue, Sam had Finn and Rachel, Quinn had Mercedes, and in the third season, she had Puck), while many of his problems weren't addressed or were just ignored.

I love Artie. He's sweet, caring, and faces actual problems that teenagers encounter.

He's always polite when others are performing. He's an awesome singer, and I think he deserves a relationship with Kitty or Quinn. He's smart, too.

I love Artie and think he deserves more solos and screen time.

Artie is a very kind man. He endures not only the average teenage problems but also faces the problem of disability with a smile.

He is always polite and is a fantastic singer. I believe he is the best character, but then again, I'm only on season one.
