I've got a crush on you.

I have a new crush. And it's this kid:


I'm thrilled this isn't the last we've seen of him on Glee. He's slated to appear in several more episodes. Although, for me, it won't be nearly enough. His voice...he could run circles around the beloved Finn (sorry). I really had no idea Jonathan Groff and Idina Menzel (broadway goddess) were guest starring on the show. Until this week's episode, I wasn't familiar with Groff's work. Now that I know and have seen what an amazing talent he is, I'm wishing I had seen him and the glorious Lea Michele when they starred opposite one another in Spring Awakening on Broadway. The show received fantastic reviews and has Tony Awards as proof of its greatness. After learning of his and Lea's performances together on Broadway, their undeniable chemistry on Glee made even more sense to me. Their voices blended so well together. The duet was chilling. I've been listening to 'Hello' on repeat since Glee aired (thank you, iTunes). I can't wait to see what Jonathan, or rather, Jesse St. James, will dazzle me with next. Glee is already a love of mine, but now, (enter Jonathan Groff) it's even more so. I have a feeling though, 'Hello' will remain my favorite moment of his...
