Everyone who really loves music remembers the first time they saw or heard Michael Jackson. He is one of the musical legend of this generation and will forever remain in the conscience of future artists to come.
Which is why it made perfect sense that Glee, a show built on the foundation that music is power, would pay tribute to him. Last night's episode was everything Michael was: fun, surprising and filled with music!
Check out the video (above) to go behind-the-scenes of the episode and see what the cast had to say about performing classic MJ numbers!
Don't you just love Wednesday mornings? Hump Day, they call it. But today, we're thinking we might rename it Crotch Grab day, on account of all of the junk holding in these videos from last night's Glee!
But what did you expect? It was Michael Jackson week! (And did we say we were complaining?)
While nothing will ever compare to the Britney Spears tribute episode for us, last night's MJ homage wasn't too bad either. The episode was very song heavy, which didn't give way to too much story to be told. But we got some EXCELLENT musical moments from Kevin McHale, Grant Gustin and the rarely heard from Dianna Agron, who got her first solo on the show in God knows how long!
The stand-out performances for us were definitely Artie and Mike Chang's recreation of MJ and Janet Jackson's video Scream, Smooooth Criminal with Grant and Naya Rivera, and that damn Finnchel duet that got us all fangirl tearing up from the first bar. We can't help it — we're suckers for this stuff!
Check out Lea Michele and Cory Monteith's duet, as well as Kevin and Harry Shum Jr.'s routine in the videos (above), the CLICK THE JUMP to see the rest of last night's performances.
Which was UR fave?
Katy Perry's Teenage Dream is Teenage Cream-ing the competition!
Last week, we learned about Katy's plans to re-release her hit album in a new set that is being referred to as The Complete Confection!
We were thinking that this move was probably an attempt by Ms. Perry to get her latest single The One That Got Away (above) to reach the #1 spot on the charts, which would be her SIXTH number one hit from Teenage Dream!
Now,
He really still thinks he can slither his way out of this one, doesn't he?

Including Perez!
The premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour was held at the Staples Center in El Lay last night, and we weren't the only one stopping by to enjoy the spectacle!

All hail the King of Pop!

Here's something U might not know…
Director Brett Ratner was a good friend to the late King of Pop.
And now, because he wants to show "the real" Michael Jackson, a biopic may be in the works.
He's getting help from Frank Cascio, one of Jackson's oldest friends and manager.

Be still our beating a-mile-a-minute heart!
We know his character is a nasty piece of work whom we love hate for being so horrible to our beloved Kurt, but HOT DAMN, can Grant Gustin MOVE or what?!
Check out a new clip from Glee's upcoming Michael Jackson tribute episode, featuring the latest rival Warbler going head to head with Naya River during their rendition of Smooth Criminal (above)!
And yes! Those are our boys from 2Cellos providing musical accompaniment!
LOVE!
Oh, you're going to like this!
Next week, Glee tackles the life long work of the late and great Michael Jackson. From fan favorites to pretty obscure hits (Ben? Really?), the music chosen for the episode is a homage to every era of Jackson's career. But that's not all fans have to look forward to…
Did we happen to mention that Dianna Agron gets a SOLO in this episode? Or that Rachel and Finn FINALLY duet for the first time this season? AND, Grant Gustin has a stand out number with Naya Rivera and our friends from 2Cellos! There's a lot to love in this episode.
