We've NEVER been so anxious while watching an episode of Glee than we were during last night's harrowing depiction of a potential school shooting in Shooting Star…

And because the subject matter WAS extremely serious, showrunner Ryan Murphy obviously had to handle it delicately so that it did NOT seem like he was trivializing a complex, sensitive subject, which is probably why he decided to include very few musical numbers.

The performances that DID make the cut were emotional, yet simply orchestrated, and they provided a much needed break from the consistent tension.

Ch-ch-check out the Gleeks singing Stay (above)!

Then, watch as Ryder attempts to seduce his online fantasy girl with Elton John's romantic classic Your Song and try to stem the tears while Brittany and the members of New Directions serenade Lord Tubbington with More Than Words …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Uh-oh!

While we are SO excited that the three-week hiatus from Glee will FINALLY be coming to an end when a new episode, titled Shooting Star, airs this Thursday, we have a feeling that the recently-reported "unthinkable event" that is said to go down at McKinley High could have some SERIOUS ramifications on our beloved New Directions!

Why else would there be ONLY THREE new songs this week?!

GAH! Now we're all nervous and slightly scared for everyone!

Thankfully, however, we appreciate quality over quantity, and while the tune-age may be SCARCE this week, what is there manages to pack a punch!

For example, ch-ch-eck out Blake Jenner doing Elton John some serious justice with this stunning rendition of Your Song (above)!

While you're at it, give a listen to Chord Overstreet and mama-to-be Heather Morris declaring their love for each other with Extreme's More Than Words, as well as everyone in New Directions teaming up for Say by John Mayer…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

If tonight’s episode of X Factor turns out to be predictable, Carly Rose Sonenclar and Tate Stevens will take the final two spots in the competition!

However, with Emblem3 and Fifth Harmony’s performances last night, that could all very well change!

There’s no doubt about Carly Rose’s insane amount of talent and last night, even though her slow song choices weren’t anything out of the ordinary, she shined!

Check out the teen’s rendition of Elton John’s Your Song (above)!

So beautiful! She definitely gave the song a different sound, but in a good, refreshing way!

As for Carly Rose’s second performance, mentor Britney Spears chose John Lennon’s Imagine, but with a “fussy” arrangement.

Take a look at her playing the keys — oh, and listen to Brit Brit sing a few notes around 1:10… AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Misty eyed, we present to you Sir. Elton John's electrifying performance from Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Concert.

The Rocket Man launched his set with I'm Still Standing, then serenaded with Your Song, and finished off by leading 18,000 jubilant onlookers in a sing along to classic Crocodile Rock.

Let Elton inflate your soul (above)!

Unsprisingly, Sir. Elton was a highlight of the night's MANY stellar acts… he even got Prince William and Princess Catherine to shimmy their shoulders and SING!

Absolutely loves it!

Yesterday, we were all types of enthusiastic to hear TONS of details about the royal wedding reception!

Now, more deets have leaked, and we can get enough of them!

Here's what a source had to say about Harry's speech at the reception:

"[Harry's speech] was hilarious. Everybody laughed. He made a joke about William wearing a thong under his uniform in the day. He made fun of how romantic William has been with Kate and said that he knew it was a serious relationship with Kate when William, who does not have a romantic bone in his body, started being romantic."

Here are some other royal wedding reception deets involving Harry that have been leaked:

- Harry did an impression of William and Kate's "baby talk" because he "wanted to embarrass William"

- Harry "poked fun at [William's] bald spot, but said he can't talk because he's 'a ginge."

- Harry said that "William 'is someone he has always looked up to and hopes to be like him.' "

And here are some other deets from the reception:

- Charles danced with Duchess Camilla for a verse of Ellie Goulding's rendition of Elton John's Your Song.

- When congratulated by a guest, Kate "was just so happy and was doing her best to take it all in and just remember it. She laughed and said she was scared she would wake up in the morning and forget it all because it'd gone by so quickly."

- The night ended with fireworks, followed by William and Kate shouting "thank you, guys," and then an applause and a tipsy "wooooo!" by Harry.

All sounds SO wonderful. We cannot emphasize enough how much we would have loved to have been there!

We're so happy for you, William and Kate. We're sure you'll cherish the memory of the lovely event for the rest of your lives!

We can't even imagine how insane this all must have been for her!

As we've reported, Ellie Goulding was selected to perform during Friday's Royal Wedding reception, and the singer is now speaking out about how thrilled she was to be invited to participate in such a wonderful celebration!

She revealed:

"It was an amazing honor to be asked to perform by Kate and William. It's a night I will never forget."

According to sources present at the big day, she not only performed her original music off of her debut album, Lights, but also covers of Mr. Brightside by The Killers, Superstition by Stevie Wonder, and most importantly, Your Song by Elton John!

The insider explains:

"It was a clear yet subtle nod to Princess Diana because she loved that song and William knew that. Elton is also very important to William because of his role at Diana's funeral. Ellie's performance was spectacular and even Prince Charles and Camilla ended up slow-dancing on the floor before they bailed out and left it to the young ones. Kate wanted to make sure there were songs everyone would get up and dance to. She and Wills are huge fans of Ellie so they were most excited by her original songs and danced to most of them. Kate sung along to every word of her last song 'Starry Eyed'."

How much fun!

It really sounds as though she pulled off a pretty solid set!

Congratulations once again!
