...Manhattan hotel shortly before Glee's April 13 return from a four-month hiatus, Lynch characterizes the show's student singers, without irony, as "a group that just wants to make a joyful noise." She tears up recalling her own high school choir experience. She bursts into song. Five times. And though she says Sue Sylvester "doesn't live too far from the surface," the Glee character she feels the most kinship with is Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz), a wallflower who fakes a stutter to mask her shyness and generally confines herself to the chorus.

For the first half he performed the well-known Crookers Remix of the song, which perfectly reproduced the ample dance beats of the original, and little else.
