Express Yourself by Madonna is featured in The Power of Madonna, the fifteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions Girls. Mercedes, Quinn, Rachel, Santana and Tina have solos.

The girls wear corsets with garters while performing the song- very similar to what Madonna wore and on her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour.
