During this performance, Mike Chang Sr., Mike's dad, is seen entering the auditorium as he watches his son perform. As Kurt dances, he sees Sebastian and gives him a loathing expression. Mike can be seen on the stage feeling a mixture of surprise, overjoy and anger when he sees his dad in the audience.

Trivia

  • This is the first time out of two that Tina sings lead in a competition. The second time was Gangnam Style in Thanksgiving.
    • Both songs are on their setlist for Sectionals.

Errors

  • The Troubletones can be seen standing up but after Sam does the body roll, Mercedes is sitting down and so is the person next to her. But the next time the camera is on them, they are standing up.
