Which seems win/win, right? They’re both musical icons with back catalogs overflowing with hits. But which would be the *better* choice? Figuring that out, as Sue Sylvester would say, is hard. Luckily, we’re here to help with a handy-dandy list of the pros and cons of devoting an hour to one vs. the other. *Jacko* *Pros:* The diversity of his song styles would lend itself brilliantly to * Glee*‘s variety of singers. For instance, soft-spoken Kurt could whisper his way through “Billie Jean,” jocks Finn and Puck could muscle their way through “Beat It,” and powerhouses Rachel and Mercedes could—no, *would*—kill MJ’s once-upon-a-duet with sis Janet, “Scream.” Plus, you just know Mr. Schue would do a mean moonwalk. *Cons:* Since the Super Bowl is in February, not October, chances are slim that we’d get “Thriller.” And I want “Thriller.” Badly. Also, since he’s passed on, do we forget about all the child-molestation allegations now? Is that, like, a rule? *Bruce* *Pros:* Not only could a Bruce-centric episode possibly bring gridiron fans to the show in a way that (sorry) the football team getting down to “Single Ladies” never could, a “Born in the USA” cover could easily be 2011′s classic-rock answer to “Don’t Stop Believin’.” (And c’mon, Finn is pretty much *made* to fill out Springsteen’s jeans.) Moreover, Puck could show off his softer side on “I’m on Fire,” “Dancing in the Dark” could take on a whole new meaning with daffy Brittany performing it, and can’t you just picture the flashbacks to a teenage Will belting out “Glory Days”? *Cons:* How many Springsteen songs do you *really* know? I mean, quick—can you hum “Streets of Philadelphia” or “Secret Garden” from his greatest-hits CD? I, um, can’t. And the winner is… Oh, I’m not touching this one. You guys can vote below.
