Will is writing Chris Cross on the board of the choir room.
Will looks at New Directions. "All right, who can tell me who Christopher Cross is?"
"He discovered America." Brittany says.
Will smiles. "So Close. He did write an iconic chart topper: 'Sailing.'"
Kurt sighs. "I have a bad feeling about this lesson."
"Never heard of him, don't want to hear about him." Tina says.
"Now some people think of the term "Easy Listening" as a bad thing. But I'm going to let this music speak for itself. You guys love Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones... and you guys are really good about putting it all out there. But really good music can also be controlled, and restrained. It doesn't have to attack an audience, it can let them come to you." He says and hands out music sheets.
Finn speaks up after reading the music sheet. "How could you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like a hundred miles apart."
Charlie gives Finn an incredulous look. "Try about a hundred billion."
Kurt raises his hand. "Mr. Shue? If I may. I think I speak for all of us when I say it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth Adult Contemporary, it's just that, as teens, this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to. However, there is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swelled to over five members.The ardent demand: That this week, at the fall homecoming assembly, the McKinley High School Glee Club performs a number by... Wait for it...Ms. Britney Spears." Kurt says.
Artie smiles. "Spears is fierce, yo."
Will shakes his head. "Sorry, Kurt, Kurt, sorry. No, no, no. I don't think she's a very good role model." He denies.
Rachel sighs. "But, Mr. Shue, we kind of grew of up with her."
Tina nods. "She's literally why I wanted to become a performer."
Brittany looks sad. "I don't want to do Britney."
Kurt looks confused. "Why no Britney, Brittany?"
"Because my name is also Brittany Spears." Brittany reveals.
Will is shocked. "What?!"
Mercedes is confused. "What the hell is she talking about?"
"My middle name is Susan, my last name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierce. "Brittany Spierce." I've lived my entire life in Britney Spears' shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you'll all respect that I want Glee Club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce,can escape the torment of Britney Spears." Brittany explains.
"Well, there you have it, guys. It's been decided. No Britney. Sorry." Will says.
"Thanks, Britt. Thanks a lot." Kurt says.
Violet smacks his arm while Santana glares. "Leave Brittany alone." They say in unison.
"Thank you for understanding. It's been a hard road." Brittany says.
"Um, can we move on?" Rachel asks.
Will nods. "Yes. Let's talk about Michael Bolton."
