"Glee" producers have probably already popped the champagne. The episode which featured Britney drew an estimated 13.5 million viewers – the second-most watched episode of the show. She was also a trending topic on Twitter during the telecast, so the social networking marketing boost is major.
But what did the singer actually do on the show? Britney Spears' own much talked-about cameo role turned out to be much smaller than expected, writes Reuters.
"Glee's" other Britney (played by Heather Morris) turned out to be booty-shaking worthy of her namesake in an episode that featured five of the pop princess's biggest hits — and many more of her iconic looks.
For all the faithful recreations of the original pop videos for "….One More Time" and the snake-writhing wonders of "I'm a Slave For U," it was only the stripped-down acoustic version of "Toxic," performed by the entire Glee club and actor Matthew Morrison, that took any chances with Spears' music. It was also "Toxic" which resulted in what cheerleader Sue Sylvester termed a "Britney Spears sex riot" in the ranks of McKinley High's hormone-charged teenagers.
The special episode, which also featured the welcome arrival of John Stamos as the hottest dentist in town, will no doubt fuel a surge in downloads of Britney Spears' early music.
The show also aired lavish tributes earlier this year to Madonna and Lady Gaga.
Would you buy Britney's new album just because it was featured on one episode of a show? Or should her music speak for itself?
