With Sectionals quickly approaching, and New Directions in a tizzy over Rachel's suspension (and thus, absence from the competition), things are about to get even crazier on 'Glee.'

In the 'Hold On to Sixteen' episode, the glee clubs will take the stage in a competition to show their worth, and it seems as if our favorite New Directions will come out swinging, despite being one less. Rumor has it that seven songs are lined up for the show, and special attention will be given to the Jackson family, for whatever reason.

We know for sure that we'll get covers of Destiny's Child's 'Survivor' and Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive,' courtesy of the Troubletones girls, in addition to a country slam-back from Sam, who will return to McKinley High in this episode (videos here). But also, we're expecting saucy covers of the late Michael Jackson's 'Man in the Mirror,' Janet Jackson's 'Control' and a family-friendly Jackson 5 rendition, 'ABC.'

Buzz around the web has even pinned that New Directions will take on fun's 'We Are Young' and a rival glee club will do 'Buenos Aires' from 'Evita,' but we can neither confirm nor deny.

Tune in Dec. 6 at 8PM ET to catch the 'Hold On to Sixteen' goodness on FOX.
