Watch: Gwyneth Paltrow Sings Cee-Lo's 'F*** You' on 'Glee'

At this week's CMA awards, we learned that Gwyneth Paltrow can really carry a tune. Now, EW has a first look at the Oscar-winning actress's appearance on next week's 'Glee,' and her take on Cee-Lo's 'F*** You' has the kids in New Directions (well, except for that notorious buzz kill Rachel Berry) dancing all around the choir room.

"What would you know about Cee-Lo, you're like 40?" the alternately villainous and hilarious Santana asks Paltrow's Holly Holliday, who subs for a sick Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) in the episode. "Top 40, sweet cheeks," she responds. "Hit it!"

Check out Gwyneth's take on Cee-Lo's hit after the jump!

The verdict: She's got what it takes.

Of her 'Forget You' performance, New York magazine's Vulture blog said, "There is no way to sugarcoat this: It is great. The silliest! The cheesiest! The most cornball-dance-move-iest!"

As the buzz continues to build for 'Glee,' Paltrow can comfort herself with the raves she received for her CMA performance of the titular track from 'Country Song,' during which she also played acoustic guitar.

"She looked like she's been doing this her whole life," country singer and CMA host Brad Paisley said of Paltrow's performance on Tuesday. "When did she find time to go out and learn how to be a singer? I'm floored!"

CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Miranda Lambert was similarly impressed. "[She] did a great job," Lambert cheered. "It was awesome, she has a great voice."

Paltrow's singing successes should come as no surprise considering her "coaches." "I asked Faith [Hill] a lot of questions ... and Beyonce actually too," the actress told 'Access Hollywood.' "I studied Beyonce a lot and her concerts for her kind of confidence."

If Paltrow plays her cards right, she could even have a hit single on her hands. 'Glee' has launched 24 songs onto the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The most recent addition to the show's catalog, an all-boys a cappella take on Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream,' is currently poised to become the show's biggest selling single yet, according to Billboard. More than 8 million 'Glee' tracks have been sold via digital download, and three of the six albums the show has spawned have reached the top of the Billboard album chart.

CMA Awards Recap: Gwyneth Makes Nashville Debut, But Miranda Lambert Is Belle … – E! Online (blog)

If Gwyneth Paltrow was looking for a good place to bridge the gap, she found one.

Though Miranda Lambert had the real night to remember, all eyes were on the Oscar winner at the 44th Country Music Association Awards, which lately has become a warm, friendly place for artists who are drifting from pop (Sheryl Crow), rock (Kid Rock) and has-been (Darius Rucker) territory into the country realm.

Or, in Paltrow’s case, promoting a movie and, perhaps, courting a record deal.

MORE: Gwyneth “nervous but excited” about singing live

Happily, the Country Song star didn’t embarrass herself warbling the title track from her new film, costarring Leighton Meester (on hand to introduce pal Taylor Swift) and Tim McGraw, who swooped in at the last minute Wednesday to present the night’s top honor, Entertainer of the Year, to…Brad Paisley?

It sure seemed like momentum was building in either Lambert, who was also celebrating her 27th birthday, or Lady Antebellum‘s direction (they would have been the first group to win since the Dixie Chicks in 2000). But you can’t ever count the touring tour de force that is Paisley out.

“My hero, Little Jimmy Dickens, has a saying: If you see a turtle on a fence post, it had help getting up there. I feel just like a turtle on the fence post at this point,” Paisley said in thanks.

“It sounds like a cliché when you say thanks to the fans,” he continued, “but the great thing about country fans is, when you say fans, I don’t even mean mine. You guys are loyal to everyone in this room. It’s the most amazing loyal fan base in the world.”

He also thanked actress wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley for “saving me from despair.”

But it was Lambert, who led the field with nine nominations, who added four more CMAs to her trophy trove. (FYI: Barring ties, she only could’ve won seven times anyway—she was up twice for Single and Music Video of the Year.)

“Revolution has truly caused a revolution in my life this year,” Lambert said upon accepting Album of the Year. “Thanks to the country music industry. It’s my baby, it’s what I do, it’s what I live for. Thanks for loving it, too.”

Nice trick, ABC, leaving Paltrow’s debut for last, but in the end she was just another artist at the the annual lovefest, which features far more performances than award categories.

Among other humorous musings, including a downer of a running joke about the Nashville flood, cohosts Paisley and Carrie Underwood paid musical tribute to tiny wedding rings in honor of tonight’s king and queen of the ball: Lambert and her fiancé, Blake Shelton.

“Actually, in all truth, after they got engaged, they sent me a picture of it,” Underwood said, presumably speaking of Lambert’s ring, “and it is beautiful and big, just perfect, gorgeous.”

“OK, I have to do it—that’s what she said,” added Paisley.

Shelton saved face in front of his future missus, winning CMAs for Male Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for “Hillbilly,” featuring Trace Adkins—a couple of engagement gifts you just can’t register for.

“After the night Blake and Miranda are having, I think we can expect a baby in about nine months,” Paisley quipped.

Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Busch of Sugarland were named Vocal Duo of the Year for the fourth year in a row.

And as Nicole Kidman sat through her umpteenth country award show since marrying Keith Urban, Katherine Heigl was also in the house with hubby Josh Kelley, whose brother Charles Kelley is one-third of Lady Antebellum, winner for Vocal Group of the Year.

“Thank you to my brother…for making me to move to Nashville six years ago, I love you,” he said as the trio accepted for Single of the Year for the wistful “Need You Now.”

Speaking of crossover stars, Crow presided over a tribute to grand dame Loretta Lynn, Kid “Detroit’s leading cowboy” Rock sang “Born Free” and Kelly Clarkson showed up to duet with with Jason Aldean on “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”
