Next week’s brand new episode of Glee is going to be a tear-jerker for sure. The highly anticipated Whitney Houston tribute episode, entitled “Dance With Somebody” is set to air next Tuesday, April 24, and we’ve got your first look at one of Whit’s hits that the Gleeks will cover.
In the full song below, we get a taste of the emotional performances to come in the episode when we see Mercedes (Amber Riley), Rachel (Lea Michele), Santana (Naya Rivera) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) belt out an a cappella version of Whitney’s “How Will I Know.” Mercedes opens up the song holding a framed photo of Whitney before handing it off to Kurt. The tone is the video remains somber throughout and even features a shrine of Whitney in a locker at WMHS. Take a look:
Along with “How Will I Know”, the powerful episode is rumored to be covering a total of 8 of Whitney Houston’s biggest hits. The famous tracks are said to include “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay.”
After the video was released, Lea tweeted, “Have you guys seen the full version of “How Will I Know” from next weeks episode of #Glee? You have to check it out it’s awesome!!”
Do you think Lea, Chris, Amber and Naya’s rendition of “How Will I Know” will win the crowd over? Which Whitney song do you hope they sing?

It was very nice
Beautiful tribute with beautiful harmonies and, yes, I was moved to tears! Amber Riley’s lovely voice really stands out. In addition, her rendition of “I Will Always Love You” is unbelievable! Her ability to mimic Whitney’s inflections and runs throughout the song is amazing, though she doesn’t have the same tone and spirited expressions as she. I truly appreciate this tribute to Whitney. It’s good to know that though she may be deceased, she’s still loved, valued and acknowledged as the great vocalist that she was (in my opinion, she’s the greatest singer of all time; nobody can interpret and deliver a song like Whitney Houston!). Whitney Houston is and shall always remain “The Voice”. Great job, Glee singers!
They sound so good!
