I could tell around the middle of the video she was holding back tears and trying not to choke up. Honestly one of the strongest women I've ever seen. She an idol.
STixa CC , yeah. I lose it when I just see him on screen and look at his pics. She knew him personally and she holds it. I don't know...She is a very strong 💟
When you lose someone, especially if it's someone young, people ask about it. You need to talk about it all the time. After a time, you kind of distance yourself from the emotions to be able to keep going. I think that is what she's doing. It's what I did. (Not saying she's not strong; she is.)
I'm a little late on this comment (sorry lol) but she is really strong. There was one radio interview where they asked about her song If You Say So and she broke down and someone came on and said that they had to cut the interview short but that was mainly because the interviewers were prying. But yes, she is very strong and I'm so proud to call her my idol.
I'm seriously crying right now. How can Lea be so strong? I didn't even KNOW him personally, yet I can't even talk about him to anyone without tearing up. What an incredible woman Lea is.
All good performers pull everything from their emotions. The emotions create the art. With that constant use of emotions, you learn to turn them on and off again when needed. I would imagine that she, as well as most actors, would constantly be riding on that edge, but able to control it well enough to speak, act, move, and even sing. Now how she got through singing while filming "The Quarterback" where she had to control her REAL emotions and sing about a staged loss that was actually a real loss, that...is something that must have been the most insurmountable obstacle she's ever had to achieve. But she did. Kudos to her.
Ellen didn't start mentioning "Cory" for what seemed like the longest time in this segment that I thought they were going to go through this entire interview without saying his name. When she finally did, and of course she had to, it was "Cory's passing". I held my breath when she said that, then the camera panned to Lea and it showed her holding back... And I thought my heart break a little. It struck me then, that she isn't brave, she isn't strong, she isn't a goddess of all things nice; She is just a normal girl trying to keep it together as best as she could after the loss of her lover. She is positive about this because she has to. I love how they talk about Cory once they got the white elephant out of the way. Ah, the fond memories. That truly is the best way to keep the departed in the world. Ellen is quite fond of Cory, I think, but she never really talked about him when she interviewed the many Glee stars that came on her show during this period. I'm glad she saved that part for Lea. I haven't realize this until now - Lea and Cory were the sweetest couple because both of them genuinely were sweet, sweet people. To everyone who knew you, whether intimately or not, you brought them joy while you lived, Cory.
I completely agree and I love the way you wrote your comment but this part "but she never really talked about him when she interviewed the many Glee stars that came on her show during this period." is not quite true. I think in this time the only cast members that have been on Ellen since then were Chord and Mike O'Malley [the guy who plays Kurts father] .. and both times she asked how Cory was like. I mean, I don't find it bad in fact I loved that Ellen did that but I just wanted to get your fact straight :)
Jenna Bora Yeah I remembered that too after I sent my comment but I didn't want to add that because my point was already clear :) aaaand I didn't want to come off like I was being offensive or something because I really liked squallofreeves comment :)
MrDPower16 Don't worry about offending anyone when you write as civilly as you do. I'm glad that you like my comment. It's comforting. In regards to your doubts though, I was referring to the part where she shared her own memories about Cory with Lea. I could be wrong but I remember her keeping the focus on the other guests... how they were feeling, how Cory was like in their eyes, how they were trying to cope etc. Not saying she didn't keep the focus on Lea on this one... just that this one is less formal, and so touching. Of course, you're welcomed to think differently.
You know what I also just realized? She didn't say his name throughout the interview either.. It must be so hard for her.. :( I don't think she's said his name since the TCA's..
Just because Cory was a drug addict people expect Lea not to be sad about his death. Smh. She loved him and he loved her. I can't even begin to imagine the pain she must have gone through, and is probably still going through. I idolize her so much for her strength and bravery.
Cause he was an addict ppl expect her not be... yadda yadda. Dude I don't know what sort of ppl you know. But they don't seem very normal. Losing anyone you love through anything is just as painful.
random channel Watching Glee for the first time (@ season 3) and just found out about all of this... I feel like my world just shattered since he is actually still on the show 🙂
I like how she looks at the audience when she talks too. A lot of celebrities just look at Ellen, and she made this interview more personable. I love her. She's amazing
yes, very touching :'( and i have to say that Ellen is a perfect interviewer and such a good person, she talked Lea about Cory but not in the miserable disrespectful way the other 'paparazzi' did and do...ellen is really respectful and yeah she's also funny but above all she's smart and kind and respectful about serious topics as this one...and Lea...well, she's amazing and strong and sooo sweet °^°
Lea Michelle is an amazing strong woman.she's been through so much and still has the strength to smile and live the way Cory would have wanted.i wish her all the success because she Is so talented!!!! I'm sure Cory is up there smiling and bursting with pride.
Svvet Lana idk what that means but im guesing something good and duhh she is over 30 and almost all of the actors have interview training even jennifer lawrence
I think what the person meat was that she spoke with such grace even when going through a rough time and holding back tears. It has nothing to do with her training on interviews
I lost my boyfriend last May to an overdose it was like all the air was taken out of my lungs. Lea has been an inspiration for me with when I was going thru it. There really is an empowerment when you go thru something like this. I'm in recovery as well and I was going thru a crossroad when it happen that I didn't know if I wanted to be sober or not. And when I lost Mike getting thru it; it finely just clicked I've been sober almost a year and a half now and I honestly can say if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be he's my guardian angel and I know he is with me every step of the way . But she is just so strong an it is something that no one should ever go thru. But unfortunately this is not uncommon. Please take this illness seriously. If you or a loved on is suffering from addiction please reach out. All my love Lea rip Cory never forgotten.
My brain cannot comprehend what you must be going through. I'm sending a lot of love and peace your way and hope that your life will become brighter again! ♥️
I'm not a Glee or Lea Michelle fan but I have a whole new level of respect for her after watching this. She is being very strong and positive, which can be so hard to do. Good for you Lea!!
He didn't die he just took the midnight train going anywhere... The show must go all over the place or something.. I miss him so much he was so amazing!!!
I don't even watch Glee... but there was something about him, it's a sad story. When she said "It's just as hard to go to work, rather than opening up the closet and seeing a pair of shoes." That was... what stuck out to me, thinking about people I've lost. Seeing their things, and knowing they'll never use them again.
I love how on 5:13 Lea closes her eyes like she is feeling the feel she’s describing. And also thumbs up to Ellen for carefully choosing how to ask the questions about Cory, and for caring so much. You can see on the end of the video that she was very moved by the whole situation.
I still tear up over Cory's passing. I've watched Glee from start to where it is now and you could always tell that Lea loved him so much especially on-screen. It wasn't Rachel Berry love, it was Lea Michele love. She's done so well over the past 5 months, she's my inspiration. She's courageous, strong, brave and has such a beautiful heart. She sounds so proud when she talks about Cory, such an inspiration and amazing person overall.
I love her so much. I was never a fan of Glee but due to Cory's passing, I learned a lot from her. To go through what she went through, her strength is commendable.
Sarah Barzen I had no idea he died in real life until a week before the quarterback episode and I bawled from 12:00 until like 3 minutes after the episode ended!
Corey's death hit me harder than any celebrity's death.I practically felt as if I had lost a brother.I grew up with him,connecting with him and his character every season.He was'nt just playing a character.He was being himself.How crushed I was when I found out.Even my parents did'nt get my grief.They blamed it on 'celebrity worship' when in fact they did'nt understand.They never did. I love you Corey.And I'll miss you forever.Thank you for teaching me how to treat others different than myself.
These people who say that she was faking her emotions or that she doesnt have emotions disgust me. She probably knew what they would talk about so she could like prepare herself for it. But still, dont you see it in her eyes how heartbroken she is?
Even though Lea is dating someone else, I don't believe that she'll love any other man as much as she loves Cory. I believe, hope even, that she'll find love again but whatever she feels for that lucky guy, will pale in comparison to the love she has for Cory. For those of us Gleeks who believe in Heaven, at least we know that they'll be together again one day. Lea's Catholic, so there's a pretty strong chance that Cory was too and is waiting for her up there. :)Rest in peace, Cory Monteith. We all still miss you so much, man!!! The world is immeasurably less bright without your presence in it. You will NEVER be forgotten.#CoryMonteith#RIP#AlwaysRemembered#MoncheleForever
I know, I thought it was my imagination, but she doesnt have the same loving expression for her new boyfriend that she had for Cory. But i still wish them the best.
Three days before Corys passing by my grandmother died, she was for me like another mother and then Cory died. My whole world break down in these pair of seconds. It doesn´t go day, where I don´t think about Cory. So it is so hard for me to controll myself, but if Lea do it, I´ll do it too.
We can all see how hard she's trying to keep it together in this interview so I'm just gonna cry for her :'(.. This interview is one of the most heartfelt I've ever watched. Every time I think about my step-dad who passed away tragically, I can't help but tear up and she's such a strong lady for being able to talk about her loss without breaking down. God bless to Lea and her family.
I love Ellen for the respect she puts in her questions, I love Lea for being so brave and simple, and I think it's safe to say that all Gleeks miss Cory...
+Clementine I watched glee that day and finally suck it up and REWATCHED the whole series but this time finally watched the quarterback episode. (Cory montieth) tribute episode. It was hard and I cried but I'm glad I watched it and he's still living in the memory of all of us. 😭😭❤️❤️
fuck who dislikes this! she is so strong, if i was her on the show and ellen asked me about Cory, i cant even talk anymore. But she is one strong women! RESPECT!
The way she smiled when Ellen brought up Cory being in the show, you can tell how much she's still so in love with him, as she would be obviously. She is such a strong person and I wish her all the best and send my love.
I agree. Her strength and integrity make her a truly beautiful and radiant person. I want her to continue being strong, happy, and doing what she loves, because I love seeing that smile on her face.
you can tell she was being professional and holding back the tears (she doesn't need to cry to prove her love). remember she did say she's been struggling to follow her mother's advice and keep moving forward.
76 people have no souls.. how can anyone dislike something like this? Lea is so unbelievably strong; it's truly unfathomable. If I had a boyfriend and he died, I definitely would not be able to get out of my house let alone talk about him without becoming hysterical 5 months later. You can see in her eyes, and hear it in her voice, how much pain she is still in. She's an amazing and beautiful person, and I hope she heals in time.
it's still very hard 😂 well for me ..... because I am so into glee and its amazing 👌I felt like I was part of Glee... well my point is .... I could relate to the feelings that the glee club had for Cory when he died
She is so amazing and strong and I can't believe how brave she is. I also think that Ellen handled this interview really well. It broke my heart to see her shed those tears
Had she decided to end the show, she would have put a lot of people out of work. Not just the cast, but all the crew and everyone else associated with the show. Plus, all the fans would be disappointed. The fate of Glee has almost always been in her hands, she has the most visibility on social media and sells most of the downloads (she makes money for the show).
Bekah York The producers and Ryan Murphy already said the show would have ended if she had decided not to be on it. FOX didn't want to do the show without her.
She grew up in theatre on Broadway. Perfect posture is required in order to sing properly so your diaphragm can expand enough. Slouching will restrict some of the moment of the diaphragm leading to a shallower sounding voice. Proper posture also helps you project your voice which is particularly important for being onstage.
I know this comment is kinda weird, but today marks 1000 days since Cory died (April 8, 2016). I think about him every day and how he and Glee helped me through a lot of difficult things I've faced during my life, but today I'll especially be thinking about him in particular.

My dad died when I was 13. I'm 16 now and obviously I miss him and watching this brought me to tears... It's inspiring to see Lea so strong and doing well when all this time the whole world has been watching her grieve. I just want to say this: You never really know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have
***** I got to introduce her short film directorial debut in Miami and she was SO nice! I asked her if she wanted popcorn and she was like "HELL yeah!" She was SO nice!
I love Lea's strength and perseverance, because it just shows how beautiful of a person she is. And as for the people judging Cory, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure he tried to overcome his addiction, but unfortunately it was a relapse that got him. Lea and Cory had an strong and beautiful connection, on and off screen, and she still misses him, but has moved on and is back on her feet and happy. Those people who judge either one or both need to grow up, get a life, and rethink their own words and actions. Lea, keep on shining bright and being the strong beautiful person you are.
also, cory had been in rehab a few months before. because of this, when he relapsed it killed him because he had a lower tolerance be he had tried to be clean. I can’t believe people are judging him...
I thought Lea wouldn't be ready to go on interviews and talk about Cory like that, but this interview was so natural and positive. I love that Lea is so eloquent, it's nice listening to what she has to say. I bet it's bc anyone can talk to Ellen!
She's trying SO hard to keep herself together for this interview, she is so strong and inspirational, I've never lost anyone really close to me and just the pain she must be going through, I couldn't imagine it:(
She is just the most amazing and strong woman I've ever seen. I am such a fan of hers and I look up to her so much. So nice to see her smiling and remembering him in the best ways. R.I.P Cory
Aww Lea is amazing.. she handles herself so well, so professionally, she is so mature, open and LOVELY! Sorry i HATE Glee but i love her as a human being, she is admirable and inspiring, poor girl losing her loved one, she is such a sweetheart. The end of this video made me cry :(
I love those words her Mom said, that at the right moment overtime grief can empower you. Ellens words about cracks letting the light in is amazing too! Two positive, optimistic people. We need more in the world!
