On April 10, Glee will make a triumphant return and it just so happens that this will also be the episode in which Matt Bomer makes his guest appearance as Blaine’s older brother, Cooper Anderson. Bomer’s character is a famous Hollywood face and some of the kids at McKinley High get a little star struck. To make things even more exciting, Matt and Darren don’t only sing one song but have two whole duets for our viewing pleasure. Matt elaborates:
“The Duran Duran was just fun pop and it was great to get to dance and interact and use the whole one-upmanship of all that,” Bomer told Entertainment Weekly. “But to me, I love the Gotye song because it’s so actable and so immediate and so inherently dramatic.
For Glee to choose Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used Know” is genius. The hit FOX show tends to help smaller artists hit it big on the Billboard Chart and this track is sure to be next in line. During the duet, we are flashed back to Blaine & Cooper as kids and we see Cooper pick on Blaine and the like. I can’t wait to find out how the song works in its full context. Check out the boys’ duet below.

Picking all of these top-40 songs in exactly the problem with Glee. They only do flash-in-the-pan numbers that stay in the rankings for a month or so, but only generate immediate interest and nothing else. Why would I want to listen to this? Gotye does it just fine and I’ve already listened the hell out of it. Remember when they did “Don’t stop believing”, or “true colours”? Those were songs that we’d all but forgotten about, heck, I hated them. But with a little reworking, Glee made them amazing and desirable for the i-pod. Plus, the clip shows the typical Glee styling. Character walks away after what I believe is a thirty second conversation, randomly begins singing dramatically without proper build up, then probably ends with a sickeningly trite dialogue. Why does he need a storyline anyways? There are SO many yet to be resolved I can’t bear it.
