Glee will do a Whitney Houston Tribute


I don't know about this gang. Glee is doing a Whitney Houston tribute:
Just days after Fox's "American Idol" made headlines for their tribute to the late Whitney Houston, the torch is being handed over to another series on the network. "Glee" is at work on a special tribute episode devoted to Houston. According to E! Online, the Fox hit is filming an episode of Season 3 that will include eight songs from Houston's discography.
"Glee" has become known for its tribute episodes. The singing comedy has aired tribute episodes for Madonna, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga. However, E! Online reports the Houston tribute will be a bit different. The graduating seniors will be having a hard time saying goodbye and Houston's songs will be used to help drive the character drama. "Glee's" Lea Michele tweeted vaguely about an upcoming tribute.
These tributes have been broke and I'm actually scared of this one. The writers are not strong in this area, so maybe Ryan will jump in?

What do y'all think about this?

I like the MJ tribute, for the most part, because it was incorporated what was going on with the stories, but the Britney and Madonna episodes were complete stand-alones. Mercedes did an almost perfect rendition of I Will Always Love You, so, I guess there's hope, as long as you don't expect genius storylines. To keep it current, Glee episodes are written on the fly, so I think people judge much too harshly since it's basically an updated High School Musical for older teens and gay men.
