"Glee" paid tribute to a fallen icon just weeks ago with the Michael Jackson tribute. On the heels of the shocking death of Whitney Houston, the hit Fox comedy is preparing for yet another tribute episode in just two days.
Listen to audio of Amber Riley singing a Houston song to the left.
Filming for "Heart" wrapped several days ago, but sources report today that it is still likely that the February 14 show will pay homage to Houston. The 48-year-old singer was found dead on Saturday just prior to the Grammy Awards.
How will producers tie in a tribute to the episode? Amber Riley's performance of "I Will Always Love You" was already included in the episode. As Coach Scheuster encouraged the glee club members to perform the greatest love songs of all time, Mercedes selects the power ballad to express her complex feelings for Sam and Shane.
Unless one of Houston's other songs are worked in to the episode, this will be the only song of the fallen artist on Tuesday. The episode is already packed with eight tunes. Here is the full song list:
Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes (feat. Adam Levine). Sung by Sam, Mercedes, Joe & Quinn
I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston. Sung by Mercedes.
L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole. Sung by Mike and Tina.
Love Shack by The B-52's. Sung by New Directions
Let Me Love You by Mario. Sung by Artie.
You're the Top from Anything Goes. Sung by Leroy Berry and Hiram Berry.
Cherish/Cherish by The Association/Madonna. Sung by Quinn, Mercedes, Joe and Sam
Home by Michael Bublé. Sung by Rory
