“Glee” Covers Michael Jackson -- Watch Full Performance!

The much-anticipated Michael Jackson episode of “Glee” doesn't air until next Tuesday --  but we have your first look at the full performance of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” right now!

Blaine sings the lead vocals on the song, with Darren Criss rocking his best MJ moves … and he’s pretty amazing!

Brittany (Heather Morris), Santana (Naya Rivera), Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) are along for back-up, owning the halls and library (Library? These kids actually study?!) of McKinley High.

The incredible number ends in the auditorium with all members of our favorite glee club in full MJ wardrobe, performing some seriously bad-ass dance moves!

A Michael Jackson tribute was also held today outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where MJ's hand and footprints were immortalized in cement by his children Prince (14), Paris (13) and Blanket (9). Others in attendance included Michael's mother Katherine Jackson, Justin Bieber, Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson and more.

So... I loved MJ's music... and I have no comment on his personal life. But I feel very confident that he would have loved his children making this impression for him. It's very fitting for the life he left behind...

It's hard to get beyond Darren's egomania.

considering the time that has past. a very decent tribute to the king of pop. congrats to glee for stepping up the bar to MJ. much better than the grammy tribute to the person that recreated the dance video and saved the music industry. good job

I hate Darren Cris, I really think the show was better without him. It looks like the producer has sacrified all the old characters to make Darren a star and it is hurting the show. I can barely watch anymore because it has turned into the Darren Cris show.

Enough of the Blain show already. It was good but I much prefer the original cast and its chemistry.

Just my opinion.
