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 💟
I love how she can talk about Cory. I mean, I'm glad she's open about the situation and that she can smile about their memories instead of cry over his death. I literally admire her so much, and I know Cory would be proud.
I am not religious or believe in an afterlife but I sure hope that Cory knows somewhere how much he is missed and what an impact he had on a lot of people. Such a senseless death. One mistake and it changed a lot of people’s lives forever. R.I.P. Cory. Still missed. Still loved. X
I think Glee helped prolong Cory's life. Without it we probably would've lost him sooner than we did. It definitely brought out the best in him. He was a beautiful soul who had a very serious problem but like Lea said, "he was not his addiction." RIP Cory.
I agree. He even alluded to that fact in interviews that he didn't have any time for that sort of thing due to Glee's hectic schedule seasons 1-3 (they worked like 15-16 hour days). Reports of him falling off the wagon came around season 4 when he wasn't a regular on the show due to the storyline and what not, so it's easy to see the connection. RIP Cory.
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.
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.
It's so annoying seeing people say," Oh she's so fake," or "She's just trying to get publicity from his death" or "If she really loved Cory she wouldn't have gotten a new boyfriend so soon." Just... Stfu. You don't know her personally. Everyone deals with shit differently. The way & how long she grieves isn't for you to judge...
+Annie Ellis I totally agree. She's a very strong and sweet person, and she still holds Cory very dear even though she's moved on. You have to move on at some point in your life, I love Lea, I watched Glee and as I watched it, Rachel became my personal favorite because of how she developed as a character throughout the seasons and her performance as Rachel was so wonderful. She's amazing, beautiful talented, sweet, and strong. Overcoming that grief takes time, how long, I don't know. But she's moved on and even though she misses Cory, she's happy with her current life.
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.
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.
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
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..
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!!
Karissa Conway Or maybe she's just mean. Its funny how you exclude that possibility without even knowing her. Yes people in the comment section oftentimes make shit up, but you don't know her either so......
shakenama scott its funny you say that because i did theatre with a kid in high school and he had the same story to tell. His uncle worked on the show and the crew witnessed the same behavior, as well as he did when he went out to visit. He said they rest of the cast was extremely friendly and eager to meet everyone, but lea didn't speak a word to them.
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 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.
His is why Ellen is amazing she is so respectful when it comes to speaking about their personal life she lets them say what they want and doesn't go digging further than they want
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.
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 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 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 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! ♥️
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
I love her strength. I can't stand all the comments about her laughing and not caring about his death. That is obviously not true you can see the sadness in her eyes and her calm maturity in how she talks. If you have ever experienced death of a loved one you know that you experience many emotions. Of course she is sad but she's also probably felt anger, regret, guilt, relief, and an empowering sense that you need to take a hold of your life and live it. If not for you than your loved one.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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...
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!
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 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.

i can't believe how strong is she, i admire her so much! i cried the entire video and she's able to talk about that with a smile on her face, i couldn't do that, such an incredible woman!!
Each time her voice goes high it breaks my heart because you know that is when she is the closest to tears, especially when she starts talking about the grief, and seeing his shoes you can really hear the pain in her voice.
Seeing the pain in her eyes, wiping a tear away at 4:55 and yet she still found a way to stay strong and move forward. And now she's engaged! She deserves all the happiness life has to offer.
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!
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:(
I am so unbelievably proud of this woman. She lost her boyfriend and best friend but still had to go to work and face the paparazzi. I’m so genuinely happy that she has found someone new that makes her feel good again.
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
Seeing people comment on here about how Lea shouldn't give an interview about something so personal, and saying Ellen was trying to make Lea cry for publicity of the video, just proves Lea's point about how hard it is to go through something like this in the public eye. No matter what, there will always be someone who criticizes. I think Ellen seemed very sensitive and caring, and Lea knows Cory's and her fans loved him, too, so I think she feels safe to share her grief with us. I hope she's ok.
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.
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 :(
this is exactly why she's my idol. she's sweet, loving, kind and heartfelt. you can see the sadness and how strong she's trying to be, for herself, her family, for the world and for cory. anyone that says she's trying to get publicity from his death, don't you dare. you cannot take a situation like this and assume she's trying to get publicity. she's devastated, she's hurt. even almost 4 years later, that pain isn't gone. cory was idol and i still cry about it. she pictured herself and him to get married, to spend forever with each other, imagine how much se cries. i'm sure she thinks about it everyday. think about this before commenting something negative like that.
''When your heart is broken, when your heart has cracks in it, it lets the light in, it lets the sun in'' What a great quote.
"Drugs Does Crazy Things To Your Mind and Body"
I'll stick to it. I loved it too.
I read this while she said it

"I talked about you on Ellen today." Cory is just so adorable. Will love him forever.
How is she holding back tears? You can see the tears in her eyes and it's so sad! I'm over here crying so hard omg.
Sophie M. its an acting skill, to control your emotions. But through just her eyes you can see she's falling apart.
Gabbie78 yeah. I feel so bad for her.
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.
Because she's cried and cried ...and some moments you have to hold your composure or the flood gates will start again
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.

Teared up is an understatement..
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...

MrDPower16 Amber Riley has been on Ellen since Cory's passing. She was promoting her time on Dancing with the stars. But anyway, I agree with you.
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..
Man, the way she talked about him.... that's the kind of love we all dream about. RIP Cory, we all miss you so so so much.
Even if lea isn’t a perfect person I can’t imagine how hard it is to live with something like this
no one is perfect
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!!
she’s now married, and pregnant! to see how far she’s come since corys death is unbelievable. She is an inspiration to so many ❤️
Horrible.
Malu Trevejo Lives what?
Malu Trevejo Lives people are allowed to move on from trauma.
@@jasamkojajesam6108 You are horrible :)
Lea is a beautiful woman. Warm, kind hearted and compassionate. I can't see her being mean.
+Scott McKee maybe she had no time or wanted to be alone?
Marsi
true or scott made his whole comment up.
Karissa Conway Or maybe she's just mean. Its funny how you exclude that possibility without even knowing her. Yes people in the comment section oftentimes make shit up, but you don't know her either so......
nina c i never excluded anything and i didnt say he that actually made it up i don't if he did or didn't and you don't her know her either.
shakenama scott its funny you say that because i did theatre with a kid in high school and he had the same story to tell. His uncle worked on the show and the crew witnessed the same behavior, as well as he did when he went out to visit. He said they rest of the cast was extremely friendly and eager to meet everyone, but lea didn't speak a word to them.
It’s literally 2019 and I still cry about this when I rewatch glee
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 🙂
@@wiediejahreszeit Me too, but I'm on season 4. I found out yesterday after my friend told me about it.
@@wiediejahreszeit same
I was CRYING yesterday
I cried my heart out
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.
His is why Ellen is amazing she is so respectful when it comes to speaking about their personal life she lets them say what they want and doesn't go digging further than they want
So true.
do to remember what she did to Mariah?
remember what she did to Leighton meester..
... um
Strongest woman I've ever seen
What about Caitlyn Jenner?!
+Savannah Snider jk that ain't no women
Don't misgender, that's fucking rude. Caitlin may be a complete bitch, but no excuse to misgender her

Anyone watching Glee in 2020 and still crying ??

There taking it offff 🤭🤯😱😱😱😱😐
@@alicesummers9380 WHEN?
Just cried watching this... Lea is so strong!
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.
who's watching in 2017 and still crying...............
Anna Rose me
Me😭
Anna Rose q
Anna Rose crying crying crying
Anna Rose yes😭
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!!!
eehh this is true👏👏😍
This almost made me cry 😭
Yeah
you made me cry harder then before
aww :”((
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 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 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.
Sorry for your loss, and I'm so proud of you, I hope your still going strong
I just lost my boyfriend last Thursday to an overdose. It has been so hard
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! ♥️
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.
Maria del Mar oh the irony lol
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.
I was just thinking the exact same thing.
she spoke so eloqently
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
+Endrit Kryeziu Your comment is entirely unnecessary...
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
the Originals FUCK YOU DUDE
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.
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?
This still set me in tears..
Same
+Paige Abendroth same
I love her strength. I can't stand all the comments about her laughing and not caring about his death. That is obviously not true you can see the sadness in her eyes and her calm maturity in how she talks. If you have ever experienced death of a loved one you know that you experience many emotions. Of course she is sad but she's also probably felt anger, regret, guilt, relief, and an empowering sense that you need to take a hold of your life and live it. If not for you than your loved one.
Well said :)
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.
Men it’s 2019 and every time she says “I feel the luckiest girl in the world” i cried a river
Same 😢
I went through so many tough losses this past year and they are still hard to process. Rest in peace Cory. Stay strong Lea.
you can see how much she's trying not to cry and she's smiling and she's just so strong and beautiful :') such an inspiration!
Anyone back here after Lea announced she's pregnant!?
Wait what come again
Yes
@@charconnery1903 LMBOO
I'm here after she had her baby
@@xxleah_haydenxx now baby #2 is coming 😍🥰🤩
I'm in awe of her. She's incredibily strong and brave. What an inspiration
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.
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...
How do you want a girl to handle her boyfriends death in the public eye? both of them are so well known...people have to think a little....
I just want to give her a huge hug, what a beautiful strong woman xo
i see you are top comment in almost every single video I've watched tonight
Lol really??
yea haha, in the x factor videos actually
***** yea haha, in the x factor videos actually
December 2019 anyone? :(
Nurah Q. Me
Me
yes and i just got done watching the episode won glee about him for the 8 time and i still sobbed
january 2020 lol
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
She is such a strong person. It must be so hard to speak about Cory but she didn't even cry. I cried during the whole video! :(
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.
Why?
When I watched the quarterback I was bawling five seconds in
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!
me too i bawled my eyes out for the next day and a half it was so sad
When I know about his death, i didn't want to see the episode and i still can't see it. I know it will be very painfull to me.
Me too
Sarah Barzen literally omg
She is soo genuine with her speech and so strong to be constantly addressing this publicly!
My prayers are with her!
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!
At 2:27, when Ellen mentions his passing, she's clearing holding the tears back. So sad. I'm glad she's happy now.
This made me tear up. Lea is so strong and I pray to God to help her and other people who have gone through similar situations.
What a classy, strong, brave, courageous lady. She deserves all the happiness in the world
2016 and I cried watching this. Honestly she deserves so much respect she was so strong damn.
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.
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.
did u know cory?
omg that is so sad. i am so sorry for your loss
NightcoreStern omg... if you didn't actually know him you need to sort your fucking head out
You were more upset about Cory’s death than your own grandmother’s? Wtf?
That’s so sad! I’m so sorry! 😭❤️
You can tell she is trying really hard not to cry ;-;
Tara ღ When Ellen talked about „letting the light in“ through your broken heart you can hear her voice break...
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...
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!
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
What a truly amazing person Lea Michele is.
I just wanna go up there and hug her and tell her how amazing and strong she is!
Aww how nice to see her again, it's been a while. She's such a sweetheart.
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.
April 8 is my bday
I honestly think about him a lot too, he was such a great human can't just let it go but I'm sure he's in a better place now.
He died on July 13th 2013 not April 8th
+Remy Hoskings 1000 days isn't 3 years lmao

I just wanna hug her, she is so special and strong :')
i can't believe how strong is she, i admire her so much! i cried the entire video and she's able to talk about that with a smile on her face, i couldn't do that, such an incredible woman!!
agree :'(
Each time her voice goes high it breaks my heart because you know that is when she is the closest to tears, especially when she starts talking about the grief, and seeing his shoes you can really hear the pain in her voice.
5 months exactly today. Hope Cory's is well up there. Keep being strong Lea. You're amazing.
My eyes filled up with tears from just hearing her talk. :'(
Seeing the pain in her eyes, wiping a tear away at 4:55 and yet she still found a way to stay strong and move forward. And now she's engaged! She deserves all the happiness life has to offer.
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!
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:(
I am so unbelievably proud of this woman. She lost her boyfriend and best friend but still had to go to work and face the paparazzi. I’m so genuinely happy that she has found someone new that makes her feel good again.
They way she lit up when she was talking about Cory! Aaah she's so wonderful!
She is so strong and mature. She handles herself with grace and poise even though you can tell how hard it is for her.
I think its sad how she held back her tears so hard
Flashing back to the moment Cory admitted he and Lea were dating on Ellen's Show...
And Lea, you're just amazing. We love you.
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
I'm so intrigued listening how well she speaks.
I love how she tries to be calm and stay positive although she's still hurt. What a brave girl.
Seeing people comment on here about how Lea shouldn't give an interview about something so personal, and saying Ellen was trying to make Lea cry for publicity of the video, just proves Lea's point about how hard it is to go through something like this in the public eye. No matter what, there will always be someone who criticizes. I think Ellen seemed very sensitive and caring, and Lea knows Cory's and her fans loved him, too, so I think she feels safe to share her grief with us. I hope she's ok.
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
Amen
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.
That reminded me of the Titanic ;-;
Why? didmt they brake up
+Dizzy Blu When he died they were still dating.
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 :(
She's the most perfect human being on Earth! I love her so so much!!!
Still loving them & will never ever forget. Forever grateful to Glee & every single character. Thank you.
It's so incredibly sad to hear her talk about him. But her voice is full of strength. It's very admirable.
Well she still is a great lady... she dealt with the loss quite well.
this is exactly why she's my idol. she's sweet, loving, kind and heartfelt. you can see the sadness and how strong she's trying to be, for herself, her family, for the world and for cory. anyone that says she's trying to get publicity from his death, don't you dare. you cannot take a situation like this and assume she's trying to get publicity. she's devastated, she's hurt. even almost 4 years later, that pain isn't gone. cory was idol and i still cry about it. she pictured herself and him to get married, to spend forever with each other, imagine how much se cries. i'm sure she thinks about it everyday. think about this before commenting something negative like that.
Oh my gosh.. I cannot believe how strong she's being! When my brother died I cried everyday for 3 years.
