GLEE – *Michael Week* Aired 1/31/12

I usually don't single out an episode of one of my favorite shows to blog about but when THE King of Pop is involved... I have to post about it. Right?!

GLEE – Michael Week

Will announces a "Michael Week" after the former Troubletones reveal they are disappointed they didn't get to perform in the Jackson family medley at Sectionals, and the rivalry between New Directions and the Dalton Academy Warblers intensifies ahead of Regionals as both groups perform Michael Jackson's music. Quinn is the first senior to get news on her college plans, receiving an acceptance to Yale University. Kurt and Rachel get news on their NYADA applications, while things get more intense for Mercedes and Sam. Blaine is injured by a slushie containing rock salt by Sebastian. Rachel accepts Finn's proposal.

• Blaine is singing lead on the song "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'”
• “Bad” was sung in what looks like a parking garage where the Warblers and our favorite New Directions sparred off.
• Sebastian and Santana perform "Smooth Criminal" with a special appearance performance on the number by the musicians of the duo 2Cellos, Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser – which was awesome playing on their part!

• The Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye", sung by Quinn
• "Ben" sung by Kurt, Rachel, and Finn
