Last season’s finale featured big-ticket names like Josh Groban and Grammy Award-winner Olivia Newton John (the latter had previously starred in an updated version of her hit video ‘Physical’ with ‘Glee’ regular Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester), while previous episodes were devoted to past and present musical icons, including Lady Gaga and Madonna. more…
