As first reported on TVGuide.com, more details have been revealed about the upcoming 'Salute to Michael Jackson' episode of Fox's hit show GLEE.

On the episode, airing January 24, 2012, Glee club leader Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) announces that it will be "Michael Week" at the fictional McKinley High School.  The teacher explains that his decision is due to the fact that some of the former Touchstone group members regret being left out of the Michael Jackson medley of songs performed by New Directions at last week's Sectional competition. According to the report, the Glee club members will perform twelve of Jackson's biggest songs, ranging from his early days with the Jackson 5 to some of his most recent hits.  

Competiting Glee club members, The Warblers will also perform a number from Jackson's celebrated career.  Blaine, played by actor Darren Criss, will sing "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and Finn, (actor Cory Monteith) and Rachel, (Lea Michele) will take on the romantic ballad, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".
