It was not originally planned this way, but tonight's episode of Glee titled "Heart" will be dedicated to the memory of Whitney Houston and include one of her iconic songs. The character of Mercedes will sing "I Will Always Love You" in response to her romantic entanglements on the show. The completed episode including this performance was delivered to the Fox network the day before the untimely death of Whitney Houston. With Whitney Houston's music already dominating the charts, "I Will Always Love You" will likely become one of the bestselling songs from the show Glee. Among other songs that will be performed tonight are the Gym Class Heroes hit "Stereo Hearts" and the B-52s' "Love Shack"
