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?
Look for both, “Loser Like Me” and “Get It Right” to have their world premiere on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this Friday.

Season 2, Episode 13: COMEBACK

With New Directions set to go to Regionals and his relationships in the past, Will feels he's well on his way to making a comeback – until Emma pops into his Spanish class and tells him there's an emergency. Turns out Sue, distraught over losing all of her Cheerios budget to the glee club, has left a suicide note. Will and Emma find out she's faking, but Sue is indeed depressed. Emma convinces Will to bring Sue into the club to help her lift her spirits. They both agree. Will announces they will be performing against the Warblers AND Oral intensity again at Regionals and this year the theme for Regionals is Anthems so he gives the kids an assignment to find an anthem. Single and forlorn, Rachel decides the best way to get over Finn is to focus on her career. She decides she needs to make a comeback, too, and enlists Brittany's help by paying her to dress like her. The plan is working, sort of. The other students are following Brittany's version of Rachel's hot-librarian look, but Brittany keeps adapting it to her own whims and that isn't helping Rachel raise her profile at McKinley at all. Sam has been working on a plan for his comeback with Quinn by styling himself after Justin Bieber. He's been combing his hair into side bangs and playing bah mitzvahs on the sly as the Justin Bieber Experience to hone his act. When he performs "Baby" for the glee club, the rest of the members are dubious, but once he starts singing all the girls are in a swoon. Even Sue. No one can explain or deny the Power of the Bieb. Sam, puck, Mike and Artie perform Justin Beibers "Somebody To Love." Sue realizes that the only way she can make her comeback is to destroy glee club. She decides to stir up trouble by asking Rachel and Mercedes separately to give her diva lessons so that she can get her groove back. While meeting with both of them, she tells each of them that the other think she isn't very talented. Two prove their talent to each other, they sing "Take Me Or Leave Me." in a diva-off, and end up hugging. So, Sue's plan had the opposite outcome. Puck finds an opportunity to further woo Lauren when she admits she's nervous about performing in front of a group. He tells her to do the classic stage-fright technique: Picture Everyone Naked. It works, and her rendition of "I Know What Boys Like" goes well. Will takes Sue to a children's hospital where they sing with the kids. Sue tells Will the glee clubs anthem selections are terrible. She and the glee cub perform her song selection which is "Sing." Rachel then suggests that the song is great but the glee club can't afford to lose Reginals again this year and the best way to surprise the judges and outdo the other teams is to write and perform their own Original Songs. The glee club vote and everybody beside Rachel decides to do Sing instead of Original Songs. Afterwards, Finn tells Rachel he thinks she's right about doing original material and that he always loved the way she stood up for what she believed in and she should write a song and perform it for the club to show them its the right thing to do. Santana tells Sam that Quinn and Finn really did kiss and their story about how Finn choked on a gum ball and Quinn gave him the kiss of life is stupid and that Sam is choosing to believe it so he can be with her. Sam breaks up with Quinn even though she still wants to be with him. Sam and Santana start to go out. Sue makes the shock announcement to Will that she is the new coach of Oral Intensity and she is going to destroy the glee club.
