Scotty McCreery = Finn Hudson: The all-American wholesome high school athlete. The kind of guy every mom wants their daughter to date (but the daughter may not agree).
James Durbin = Noah "Puck" Puckerman: The edgy rocker with a mohawk. Looks like a tough guy but is a softy inside.
Lauren Alaina = Rachel Berry: The bubbly star on stage who is not so likable off stage. You love to watch her perform, but you don't want to hang out with her.
Pia Toscano = Quinn Fabray: The gorgeous girl everybody wants, but who always seems to be competing in a beauty pageant or popularity contest, even when there isn't one going on.
Casey Abrams = Artie Abrams: (Yes, the last names even match!) A talented, clever, extremely likable guy who everybody loves but who has some health issues. He may not be good looking in a typical fashion, but he is "sexy" in his own way.
Haley Reinhart = Brittany Pierce: The smiling, blonde sex kitten. Funny and witty, but she may not all be there in her head.
Thia Megia = Tina Cohen Chang: The talented and cute, but bland Asian girl. She could be a star but is overshadowed by others because she refuses to shine.
Stefano Langone = Sam Evans: Cute guy with a big mouth and a pleasant but not so interesting personality. Like Thia/Tina, he could be a star but is overshadowed by others.
Jacob Lusk = Mercedes Jones: The gospel diva with the big voice and slightly too much personality. The gender difference is not that big of an issue in my book.
Paul McDonald = Will Schuester: Funky, older dude with a big smile but some outdated style and weird hair. Will definitely dances better, but they are both quirky, skinny dudes who are not afraid to speak their minds and do their own thing.
Karen Rodriguez = Emma Pillsbury: Always smiling, always pretty, always gracious, always not very interesting. I could have paired Karen with Santana due to ethnicity, but Santana is always so sulking and moody and Karen always seems so happy. She would make a much better Ms. Pillsbury.
I was having the hardest time with Naima Adedapo, but I have given her the best role of all as Sue Sylvester. They both are thin and athletic looking with a very distinctive style in clothes, and an off-beat personality that sets them apart from the rest of the pack. I could see Sue performing "Umbrella" more like Naima did compared to how Will and New Directions performed it. Unfortunately Brett Loewenstern was eliminated from American Idol so he cannot play Kurt, but you know he would get that part.
