− | Zap2it's Liz Pardue praised what she called "a truly outstanding rendition" of [[Somebody to Love]]. Flandez deemed the performance of Somebody to Love the show's best number since ''[[Don't Stop Believin']]'' debuted in the [[pilot]] episode. Mike Hale of the New York Times opined that The Rhodes Not Taken was "the best episode musically since the pilot," calling the performance of Somebody to Love "truly rousing". Reviewing the episode the day after it aired, Jarett Wieselman for the New York Post commented that he had already watched the performance of Somebody to Love fifteen times, and that it gave him goosebumps every time he watched it. The Los Angeles Times' Denise Martin also praised the performance of Somebody to Love, writing: "Love or hate Queen, when [[New Directions]] sings it, it's magical. And it's the first time since ''Dont Stop Believin''' that I got goosebumps. Something about kids singing songs, raising all those arms, makes everyone—can't just be me!—giddy and hopeful. They're not as technically skilled as [[Vocal Adrenaline]]—yet—but that only makes their underdog story more real". |

This article is about the Season One song. You may be looking for the Season Two song. |
Somebody to Love by Queen is featured in The Rhodes Not Taken, the fifth episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions for their second act at their Invitationals. Artie, Finn, Mercedes, and Rachel have solos.
Due to April being kicked out by Will because of her drunkenness after their first song, Last Name, Rachel decides to rejoin, after not liking being in the musical Cabaret by herself. She already knows the lyrics to the song and so Finn and the others agree to help her with the choreography. It is the first song in which all of the first twelve members perform together. In Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One, Quinn suggests this song to be used again as the closing song at Sectionals because it's a "crowd pleaser." That happens after the group's initial set-list is stolen by the opposing schools (with a helping hand from Sue); however, this song is not seen performed onscreen. Besides singing, Artie was also on the guitar.
