If there’s one thing that “Glee” is really good at, it’s putting aside plot and character development in order to have standalone episodes dedicated to a single pop star in which the singer’s top hits are awkwardly shoehorned into a clunky premise. On that note, get ready for a 90-minute Lady Gaga episode on April 26th.
In the “Born This Way” episode, MR. SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) teaches the glee club a valuable lesson about self-acceptance and embracing what makes you unique through the music of Lady Gaga. [HeldenFiles]
…and then they all go out for ice cream.
It’s my understanding that this will feature Gaga’s music but not an appearance from the star herself, making it more like the Madonna episode than the Britney Spears episode. Which seems fitting, since Gaga is just ripping off Madonna’s songs anyway.

Well played.
Because nothing teaches people a valuable lesson about self-acceptance and embracing what makes them unique like the music of Lady Gaga. Hooo boy……
THANK YOU MATT. Seriously, every time I hear a Lady Gaga song queue up (of course right before I change it) I tear what little hair I have left because people are continuing to feed this obvious Madonna rip-off. I mean seriously, there are cover bands, tribute bands, and then there’s Jimmy Gnecco/Jeff Buckley level stuff. And Lady Gaga is in this latter category. But leave it to Glee…
Didn’t they already have a Lady Gaga episode?
Uh, I mean…… What’s this “Glee” show you mention?
ILovePaleHorses- you’re not alone. I remembered they did Gaga before too.

Hmm, Glee, Lady Gaga… to me the main thing they share in common is that I want to stuff them in a sack with Coover’s badger.
Also I believe both are popular with confused teens, elderly gays, and single women with more than 4 house cats.
… I love Lady Gaga. I know she’s completely ridiculous, but I can’t help it.
Glee, however, jumped the gay shark (dolphin) forever ago. Hell, Glee probably holds the record for fastest shark jump.
Personally I’m rooting for a U2 Halloween episode next year featuring various costumed characters plummeting off stages.

Glee (for the most part) makes good music shitty. How would they make shitty music, even shittier???
“…I love Lady Gaga. I know she’s completely ridiculous, but I can’t help it.”
Ok, I’ll further invalidate my manhood. “Paparazzi” might be one of the best pop songs, ever.
who panders more to their audience… Lady Gaga or Toby Keith?
neither… Bill Maher.
Aren’t all the episodes about “self-acceptance”?
@WeeBabySeamus: these colors don’t run!
Glee is Bollywood for Americans.
Watching gay tongue kissing and fruity kids singing about bein’ yourself isn’t exactly how I want to spend my Tuesday nights. Maybe Friday…
Can you call a TV show a faggot?
