And in addition, Barbra released a statement clarifying her Glee comments.

“When asked if I would ever appear on Glee, I should have said, ‘You never know.’ It was wrong to say, ‘Not if I can help it.’ What I meant was that I’ve been overwhelmed preparing for my performance on MusiCares, the Grammys, recording a new album, and starting a new movie," she wrote in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "So I couldn’t take on any more work, and besides that, I wasn’t asked.”
