Fellow Gleeks!

I suggest you have an industrial sized box of tissues handy, because you may need it tonight. In an all new episode of Glee, the glee club pays homage to a true icon when they cover Whitney Houston’s greatest hits. We predict lots of tears will be flowing. Here's the scoop:

As the end of the Gleeks’ senior year grows near, Will and his students struggle to come to terms with the imminent disbanding of their Glee Club family. To help the kids deal with their feelings of impending loss, Will assigns New Directions the emotionally charged music of pop icon Whitney Houston. Meanwhile, Emma and Will are one step closer to their dream wedding.

While some use the assignment to help ease the pain of saying goodbye, others use it to revitalize old relationships and cement new ones. Meanwhile, Kurt’s questionable behavior threatens his relationship with Blaine, Will scrambles to meet a self-imposed deadline, and a despondent Quinn’s spirits are lifted by a kindred soul.

"One day, all of you are gonna be gone. And all of this, all of us, will be nothing but a hazy memory. It will take you a second to remember everyone's name. Someone will have to remind you of the songs we sung, or the solos you got or didn't get. Life only really has one beginning and one end and the rest is just a whole lot of middle."
— Will Schuester in Journey 

In Glee's past, we've heard Mercedes sing two Whitney songs, "I Look To You", and "I Will Always Love You". And even though Mercedes has said there's only one "i" in diva, Rachel. And that "i" is me, we're super jazzed to all of the Gleeks belt out some of Whitney's most iconic numbers.

How many songs-in do you think you'll last tonight before reaching for that box of tissues?
