'Glee'-Cap: Michael Jackson Invades McKinley High

King of Pop's takeover leads to some head-scratching song choices.

"Glee" paid tribute to Michael Jackson during Tuesday night's episode and, shockingly, kept the story moving along in the midst of several MJ-inspired musical numbers. Kurt, Rachel and Quinn all received great news about college, Rachel finally accepted Finn's proposal and evil Sebastian's plot to harm Kurt with a doctored slushee backfired when Blaine took the hit for his boyfriend. <div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:730282.id:1671179" width="240" height="211"></div> Yet the forced "all Michael, all the time" song selection led to some head-scratching scenes including Kurt, Rachel and Finn serenading an injured Blaine with Jackson's love song to a rat, "Ben," and two different music-video re-enactments only appealed to Jackson superfans. The rest of us can enjoy my latest "Glee-cap"! Hit play on the embedded video and sing along with these lyrics. "Glee," "Glee" 's really hit the skids MJ would have loved all the singing kids Time for a tribute Veiled as a dispute They all imitate Michael's vocal takes Wish they didn't try To simply ape his sigh I guess "Glee" got paid In tickets to <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/12/07/jackson-family-and-crew-talk-about-new-cirque-du-soleil-show-michael-jackson-immortal/">Cirque du Soleil</a> It's bad! It's bad! Come on! Oh, pointless themed episodes Make me push fast-forward on my TiVo Artie's "Scream" remake Complete with head shakes Tired of getting dissed Mike Chang's now his sis? Warblers fight for songs No prob doing wrong They're all blindly cruel Since Blaine left their school Quinn sang goodbye to every ex Have a seat, this'll take awhile (She's had lots of sex) Quinn got into Yale And I'm all, "How?" Then got distracted by Damian's hyper eyebrows They're bad! They're bad! Relax them! If you don't, I will come wax them! Slutpig tried to slushee Kurt But Blaine got in the way Left him needing surgery How dare you hurt my gay! Despite Blaine's cute eye patch Kurt is hungry for revenge But that's a different better show on ABC, my friend "Glee," drop the shtick, you're better than this Forcing Jackson songs is just as bad as this forced kiss Just because you can afford it doesn't mean it has worth Unless you're trying to give me nightmares In that case, it worked No more bells and whistles, please Clever songs are all you need I get it, Ryan Murphy, Blaine had to bleed So <a href="/news/articles/1676997/darren-crisis-how-to-succeed-in-business.jhtml">Darren could star in "How to Succeed"</a> But making Kurt and Finchel sing "Ben" to Blaine Is the very definition of insane I hope next week they get it right With no stupid guests hogging "Glee" 's spotlight [Cue clip of next week's episode starring Ricky Martin] Whoops! What did you think of this week's "Glee"? Let us know in the comments!
