Britney Spears makes an appearance in this week’s episode of Glee.

The episode “Britney / Brittany” uses several of her songs.

It would be really cute if there was a “Leave Britney alone!” sobbing scene (how about it Kurt?).

You can check out some of the episode here, also including John Stamos.

It airs 7:30pm Wednesday on TEN.

  1. My god, we’re in a strange world JMT when you descibe Britney as ‘legendary’ and ‘epic’. You are comparing Britney to Miley Cyrus as I would Michael Jackson to Britney, if you know what I mean… It’s a cyclic thing probably to do with how old and grumpy you are. I do agree that Britney is substanially superior as a performer to some of these latter day ring ins but seriously, (and I’m not a huge fan of the ‘pop genre’ btw), she don’t hold a candle to many of the pop icons from days past.

    Glee is a sad reflection of what passes for television entertainment these days. The cast actually perform vastly inferior, facile covers of what were (often only average) 80’s and 90’s songs anyway. The saddest thing is that viewers not only put up with this half baked crap, they embrace it. It goes beyond derivative and into something akin to the shallowest form of mimicry. The lines are self consciously smug, the actors monunmentally average and the songs, like I said, not as a good as what were often average originals anyway. Where’s the ‘greatness’ in a program like that?

    1. Don’t agree. Glee has delivered the musical narrative form where so many have failed (Viva Laughlin, Cop Rock anyone?). The songs go far back to music theatre in the 60s (and probably earlier), fusing sources and genres. It also embraces diverse casting / characters. It even parodies the cheese factor at the same time as celebrating it. To be broadly successful achieving all these things is no mean feat.

  2. I am uber excited for this. Though, I couldn’t tell which one was Britney since Brittany looks so much like her. Unless Britney appears later in the clip that we’ll see on Wednesday, or that was her against the wall before Brittany went into her dance with the bridge…i’m babbling…Cant wait for this episode 😀
