    absolutely lovable!! hide show

    That girl's got talent! Damn! She isn't just hot and sexy, she's really got it. She's not just a great singer and dancer as you can see in Glee, but also a talented actress. Naya is really good in what she's doing and I think and hope for her that we'll see her in much more movies or TV Series. I hope that her career will not end with the end of Glee which will be someday in some years..
    But whatever Naya Rivera is great and she'll be seen on screen a long long time for sure! Naya u rock!

    Naya Rivera is a adorable, has a great personality and is a true talent. She can sing and act- what more could you ask for? hide show

    Naya Rivera is definitely the hidden gem of the TV show, "Glee". Santana Lopez may not be one of the main characters of the show, but ever since "That's how Sue C's it", Santana has only gained in infamy.

    Her resume speaks for itself, she's been acting since she was four years old and guest starred on some of the biggest shows of the 1990s. She has also been singing fro ma young age, and her vocals speak for themselves. (You can hear her sing in "Say a Little Prayer" and the upcoming "Like a Virgin") and I hope she gets her own record deal.

    Beautiful and Talented: Naya Rivera's a Ten!
