New Videos: "Glee" Takes on Michael Jackson

There is much crotch grabbing and thrusting

I'm completely fascinated with Sebastian (Grant Gustin) as a villain on Glee. There really isn't a good baddie on the show, because as much as I love Sue (Jane Lynch) she's practically a cartoon character as a villain. So we needed some evil to move the plots along, and Sebastian's abs seem well suited to the task.

In the Michael Jackson episode next week, Santana (Naya Rivera) goes head to head with him in what may be a game changer. Be warned, this behind the scenes of "Smooth Criminal" may be extremely spoilerly, and frankly, may upset Klaine fans. But if anyone is going to take on the bad guy, I nominate Santana. And the arrangement for this song is just mindblowing.

Meanwhile, Blaine's (Darren Criss) "Wanna Be Startin' Something" is a massive production piece. They really aren't even pretending to lip synch this, they're just going for it for the sheer spectacle of it. Poor Kurt (Chris Colfer) must have really pissed off the wardrobe department for the hallway scene, but he more than makes up for it with the pelvic thrusting on stage. Though I do feel that Brittany (Heather Morris) and Mike (Harry Shum, Jr.) are woefully underused for their dancing skills here.

I'm going to be at sea on my cruise when this airs, which I am slightly upset about. With any luck, I can find someone cute to console me. But are you guys ready to tune in to see what Glee does to Michael Jackson's catalog?
