Rumour Has It/Someone Like You by Adele is a mash-up featured in Mash Off, the sixth episode of Season Three. It is sung by The Troubletones, with solos from Brittany, Mercedes, and Santana. It is the final song in the episode.

Santana almost breaks down during the performance, while Brittany and Mercedes are seen tearing up, too. Towards the end of the preformance, Santana spots Finn whispering something to Rachel thinking it's about her and the commercial. After the performance she runs up to them in the audience, has an argument with Finn and slaps him in the face.

The Troubletones:
Oooh-oh-oh
Oooh-oh-oh
Oooh-oh-oh
Oooh-oh-oh

Mercedes with the Troubletones harmonizing:
She, she ain't real
She ain't gon' be able to love you like I will
She is a stranger
You and I have history
Or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all
But baby is that really what you want?

Bless your soul
You've got your head in the clouds
She made a fool out of you
And boy, she's bringing you down
She made your heart melt
But you're cold to the core
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore
