Take a Bow: The USP of Michele’s work is that she sings the songs a few notches better than their original singers but she maintains the feel of the original song. She does the same with this Rihanna number.
Firework: Michele looks adorable yet strong as she sings ‘Firework’ from Katy Perry’s album ‘Teenage Dream.’
We’ve Got Tonight: This Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton song is a classic which Michele and Cory Monteith have sung.
Poker Face: Lady Gaga songs are meant to be a little over the top but Michele's performance on the same is beautifully as its an acoustic track. Though she gets the feel right.

Taking Chances: This ‘Juno Award winner,’ Celine Dion song has been beautifully sung by Lea Michele in an audition scene in ‘Glee.’

Baby One More Time: This one is a replica of Britney Spears 1999 album ‘Baby One More Time.’
Cannonball: This is a song from Lea Michele’s 2014 album ‘Louder.’ Michele’s fans get to see her style in this album. This one’s a beautiful song.
