Yass!!!!!

Julian Perretta is one of our favorites and he's back - and he's going back too! Back to a sound similar to that we first heard from him when he burst onto the scene in 2009.

Think Billy Joel meets Mika!

Check out his infectiously bubbly and groovin new single That's All (above)!

Is it just us, or does the news that we'll all be getting TWO MORE SEASONS of all this and more make these tunes even that much more pleasing to everyone's ear holes?!

Yeah! We thought so!

Our beloved Glee is officially renewed for a fifth and sixth year on FOX, but before we can even get to that amazingness, we still have a few more episodes from this season to hopefully keep us satiated through the dark, Lea Michele-less summer months!

And from the looks of Lights Out, airing Thursday, we'll be good and stocked with some SERIOUS sonic greatness from our friends at McKinley High…and the much-anticipated return of Sarah Jessica Parker!

Ch-ch-check out New Directions, with the help of Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith, tackling the anthemic We Will Rock You by Queen (above)!

And before you catch your breath, you can ALSO enjoy SJP's rendition of At The Ballet from A Chorus Line, also featuring Princess Lea, Chris Colfer and Naya Rivera; Blake Jenner doing R.E.M. proud with Everybody Hurts; The Glee Project winner joining up with Kevin McHale, Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Becca Tobin and Chord Overstreet for Billy Joel's For The Longest Time; Jane Lynch DOMINATING Little Girls from the musical Annie; and lastly, Blake and Chord breaking out their very own version of The Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

What a heartwarming, surprising, random moment in life!

During a recent Q&A session at Vanderbilt University, iconic bluesy crooner Billy Joel was asked by student — and lifelong fan — Michael Pollack if he would sing NY State of Mind while Pollack accompanied him on the piano…

And to EVERYONE's surprise, Billy said YES!

Watch the resulting AWESOMENESS that occurred (above)!

Pollack later said of the experience:

"[F]rom there, it was just … foggy. It's hard to remember. I just started playing. I had practiced it a little bit thinking maybe I'd get the chance to go up … I kind of lost myself playing. Then afterward he said to me … he said that I was great, where are you from … and I said, 'I'm a Long Islander just like you.' He was like, 'Cool.' Then I walked off, and that was it … It was probably the greatest moment of my life, up to date."

How overwhelmingly surreal it must have been!

AH this makes us all teary-eyed, but in the BEST way possible!

Humans can be such wonderful creatures…

What a perfect example of creativity, initiative, talent, and human kindess combining to make something utterly beautiful!

Time for some inspiration!!

America has been devastated by the horrifying destruction of Hurricane Sandy, but like we always do — when times are rough, we stick together!

And to amplify support for the East Coast, Christina Aguilera, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Sting, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen joined forces to perform during NBC's Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together relief concert.

Using her golden vocal chords, Xtina opened the night with that career-cementing anthem of hers — Beautiful.

Telling viewers "we'll do whatever we can to help, because every single one of you matters," the Lotus lady did all she could to lift spirits.

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

And after that, make sure you watch the rest of Friday night's inspiring performances …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

The only silver lining to Hurricane Sandy's destructive path is watching resilient Americans band together in the wake of unimaginable tragedy.

After Matt Lauer's recent bungling of Olympic coverage and everything Ann Curry, it's good to see him do right by his fans in the Big Apple!

NBCUniversal and its family of networks will broadcast a live benefit concert tonight from 30 Rockafeller Plaza and we hear it was Matt's idea!

Ugh! How horrible.

B.B. Cunningham, a keyboardist and singer in Jerry Lee Lewis' band, was found dead in a Memphis, Tennessee apartment complex early Sunday morning.

The 70-year-old was working at a neighboring building as a security guard when he heard a gunshot. He went over to investigate and sadly, ended up getting shot and was killed along with an unidentified 16-year-old.

A resident living near the scene of the crime had nothing but kind words for the musician when he said:
