In January 2010, Ryan Murphy (creator of glee) announced that in an episode of the back 9, Glee would be doing original songs. Later in the year, Murphy moved the original song idea to season 2. Well the time is very close for the original songs. In the 13Th episode of the season which premiered in the US just last week, Glee club member, Rachel suggested that they write their own songs for Regionals. her idea was shot down by the rest of the group besides Finn who convinced her to write a song to show the group how much of a good idea it really is. In 2 weeks glee will return with an all new episode titled "Sexy." The following week will be an episode most likely to be called "Original Songs" where we will Finlay get to see/hear them. It is confirmed that the episode will in fact be Regionals. There is also the possibility that they will do more Original songs when Regionals does come around. The two original songs are on the new album and are titled "Get it Right" and "Loser Like Me." The writer of the songs, Max Martin revealed some information on the two songs. He revealed that Loser Like Me is kind of a glee-anthem and will be lead by Finn and Rachel. The other song, Get It Right is a Rachel solo. The song is emotional and focused on Rachel and her life. It is about how she always tries to get it right but never can. So are you excited for these original songs?
