‘Glee’ season 4 song spoilers: Good news for Heather Morris, Melissa Benoist fans
“Glee” season 4 thus far has really been all about trying to preserve some sort of delicate balance; which, as you would probably assume, is not always easy when you have a show that has so many moving parts in it and multiple settings. Some episodes are focused more at McKinley High, whereas others have put the New York setting in the spotlight to a little bit of a great ratio.
Based on some of the rumored songs that are coming out now (via Mjsbigblog) for the show’s “Sadie Hawkins” episode (its first of 2012) airing on January 24, it very much seems like we are looking at a McKinley-focused episode much like we saw with “Dynamic Duets” or “The Role You Were Born to Play” earlier this season. These may be frustrating to some people, but know this: based on the synopsis we already posted, Kurt and Rachel will still have a story (which makes this a little bit different than the two episodes mentioned above). There may just not be much in the way of singing involved this time around for them.
None of these songs have been confirmed yet, so be sure to take this somewhat with a grain of salt:
-Brittany (Heather Morris) and Marley (Melissa Benoist) will perform “Tell Him” by Vonda Shepard.
-Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) gets a much-needed solo in the “Jesus Christ Superstar” track “I Don’t Know How to Tell Him I Love Him.”
-Many of the McKinley boys will take on TLC’s “No Scrubs.”
-Marley and Wade / Unique (Alex Newell) will sing the Bruno Mars hit “Locked Out of Heaven.”
-Ryder (Blake Jenner) will sing the Flamingos’ “I Only Have Eyes for You.”
Given that the episode is all about a Sadie Hawkins dance, it really seem appropriate in many ways that so many of these songs are female-driven. We just hope that if this list sticks, that the story for Kurt and Rachel will be substantial enough to make up for the lack of music.
What do you think about these songs so far? If you want to see some new artwork for the show featuring none other than Sue Sylvester, you can do so over here.

There’s been a ton of Brittany on this season, but at least Artie and (finally) Tina are getting some time in, as well. Very glad to see Tina get some more time; I’m not a fan of “Gangnam Style”, but it was interesting (more so than the original) and it was just nice to see Tina, with Britt and Jake pulling some dance. Britt’s voice is pleasant, but it’s not as full as the other ladies of Glee – including Alex’ Unique in that, since I enjoy Wade/Unique’s attitude. For Tina, I assume you mean “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from JCS? Hmmm…wonder who the subject is? Mike? Or Artie? Can’t really see her with either Jake or Ryder and they’re both hooked on Marley. Should be interesting.
No song portion in NYC in the next 2 episodes? Rats ;( I got a kick out the duets that Kurt and Rachel have done, and it sounded like another might be coming. Really liked “For Good”, “Happy Days” mashup and the pseudo duets of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina” and “Defying Gravity”.
I just like to enjoy a show, rather than tear it down. Should I lose interest, I just drop it and move on. Glee is continuing to hold my interest, though I’d prefer 2 separate shows, so there would be more time for proper story and character development in both locales. Since that’s a business decision upstairs that didn’t fly, they’re doing OK combining the locale and working around the storylines. Enough to keep me interested, thus far. I’ve been VERY happy with 3 episodes and happy with another 3-4, leaving only 4 that were so-so (my opinion only).

Anything with Brittany is good for me, but I really like Vonda Shepard’s “Tell Me,” so that’s exciting to see what Heather and Melissa do with it.
I can see that song selling really well. I don’t think it charted that high originally, and that was a shame. But that will make it seem even fresher to the younger people that watch the show.
