Blaine Anderson might not have made his debut in Glee until season two, but that didn't stop him going on to become a major character on the show. His infectious personality and confidence within himself instantly made him one of the most popular characters to ever appear on Glee.
Even though he originally started out in Dalton Academy, he eventually made his way over to be with the rest of the main characters, which cemented his popularity even more. Plus he had an exceptional singing voice and while his ensemble performances were always fun, he really brought it within his solo songs, as this list will highlight.
"Hey Soul Sister"
This song came from when Blaine Anderson was still part of the Dalton Academy and it was a track that he really delivered well as part of a competition. While the rest of the group was on stage with him, including Kurt, but this really was all about him.
The rest of the group was set up to make him look and sound good as they harmonized around him while Blaine got to belt out the main vocals. It was a great moment which showcased his talent as a singer and really introduced just how good he was.
"I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You"
Throughout the series, the cast ended up performing at several prom events, providing the music for their fellow school friends to dance around to. These Glee performances were always a lot of fun as it allowed the characters to sing slightly different songs to normal, dipping more into the world of pop.
That's exactly what Blaine Anderson did with this number by Black Kids. It was the perfect song for the scene with everyone partying and having a good time and Blaine really got to unwind, relax, and have a ton of fun with it.
"Not While I'm Around"
In the complete opposite of the previous song, Blaine Anderson covering this Sweeney Todd track was an incredibly emotional number. It showcases his range as he sings to Kurt after his attack in what really is a powerful song from him.
Showcasing his vocal talents with some acapella singing really makes this one stand out as well because he is on his own with the song, yet it still delivers in every single way possible.
"It's Not Unusual"
Blaine Anderson is a character that certainly likes to have fun and he brings a lot of positivity to the series because of that. This Tom Jones cover is a perfect example of that as he dances around on the stairs while he has a band playing behind him, which really added to things.
It's just all about having a good time enjoying one's self which is what this song brings so well. It's tons of fun and really suited Blaine's character and his voice, which is why it's one of his best solos.
"Raise Your Glass"
Blaine isn't just able to bring the fun to a casual performance in the middle of a busy environment, but he can also deliver it within a competition as well. His Glee version of "Raise Your Glass" turned the usual competition environment into a rock show with everyone on their feet dancing around for him.
It was an amazing performance which just proved how great of a singer he was and that he had the character and personality to back it all up. It's one of his most fun performances, but the fact it happens in a competition makes it even better.
"Piano Man"
"Piano Man" isn't an easy song to sing, but Blaine Anderson absolutely knocked it out of the park with this particular performance. It was just an amazing Glee performance as he sits at the piano, playing the track all while singing it as well which made it even more impressive.
It's not a big show tune like some of his other songs, but it is a superb number that he performs to perfection, making for one of his best solos. There's no need for big acting here, but instead, the focus is on the music and it works well.
"Somewhere Only We Know"
This was a great vocal performance from Blaine Anderson as it brought some real emotion to Glee as well. He found Kurt and showcased all of his emotion after he had arranged to return to McKinley, meaning they wouldn't be spending as much time together.
It was a really powerful number and showcased the connection that they had created together as something special. With a few of the other Dalton Academy students providing some backing singing, it really added to things, but this was a clear public sign of affection which was a really sweet moment for their characters.
"You're My Best Friend"
Taking on a song by Queen is certainly not an easy thing to do, and the show certainly put a lot of faith in this to work out well. Out of everyone in the show, Blaine Anderson was certainly the right choice to take on this mammoth challenge though, and the choice of song was ideal for him.
With the rest of the Glee cast being showcased in puppet form as backing singers, it really added to the scene and made it feel memorable. All while Blaine delivered flawless vocals, bringing his cheerful disposition to this track perfectly.
"Wanna Be Startin Somethin"
Taking on the King of Pop, Michael Jackson isn't a simple task, but it's something that Blaine Anderson does an amazing job of during Michael Jackson week on the show. The song is incredibly difficult to sing, but Blaine knocks it out of the park with a really fun performance.
There's plenty of dancing and funky moments amongst many of the Glee characters, and that is one of the big reasons that this song is such a fun one. It's upbeat and that suits Blaine's character perfectly, making it even more fun.
"All Of Me"
When it comes to Blaine's number one solo, "All Of Me" has to take the top spot. It's a song with such raw emotion and passion, it strips everything back to just him and a piano and that really is all that is needed here in order to make this one iconic.
He is preparing for a big performance but ends up dedicating the song to Kurt who watches on, which only goes to make the entire scene even more emotional considering the words used.
