Glee Cast To Perform Thriller!The cast will take on the Michael Jackson classic in their Super Bowl episode...12:28, Thursday, 18 November 2010The first details of the upcoming Glee Super Bowl show have apparently been revealed, with the cast set to perform their take on Michael Jackson's Thriller.Entertainment Weekly reports that the characters will perform the song in a mash-up with another track, but that the episode will not be a Jackson tribute. Instead they claim that the show will include covers of will include covers of tracks by Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas and Lady Antebellum.The episode is expected to continue the Super Bowl theme by focusing on the local football championship and the Cheerios' regionals competition.Contrary to rumours earlier in the year the Super Bowl episode will not be a tribute to Elton John, but his music is expected to be the focus of an episode later in the current series
“Glee” will continue its assault on pop culture’s most history defining music with its super-sized Super Bowl episode. How do you top Britney Spears? How do top Madonna? How do you top The Rocky Horror Picture Show? The answer is two words: Michael Jackson. The King of Pop will be featured on the hit Fox series after television’s biggest event.A “Glee” source has exclusively confirmed to EW, that Jackson’s “Thriller” will be the song of choice for the show’s Super Bowl episode. Before you get too excited (or angry) there will be a twist to their rendition. The song will be included in a mash-up with another yet to be named tune. What in the world could be worthy enough to be mixed in with “Thriller?” Maybe something from The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? Perhaps, they’ll pick a present day hit to balance it out?Even though MJ’s music will be in the episode, the entire show won’t be dedicated to him. In all honesty the only superstar who was mentioned as a possible contender to get that treatment is Sir Elton John, which they claim will happen at some point later in the season.What do you think of Glee’s decision to use Thriller? Who should they mash it up with?
