This week Glee did original songs; they were supposed to be written by the cast (of course, songwriters did this work, but no biggie), who were told to use their own feelings and experiences to create songs that had meaning; it made for a great episode. The first one is by Rachel (Lea Michele) singing "Get It Right". If you're a Glee watcher, you know she's singing to Finn, because she just keeps trying to make things right between them and no matter what she does, she can't quite hit the nail on the head. Love her voice.
The second one, which is SO catchy that I've been singing it since I heard it and put it on my iPod, is called "Loser Like Me". This one deals with the Glee kids, who are always dogged on in school for being "losers" because they're in Glee. They turn what the haters say and do to them (being pushed into lockers, being called names, having Slushies thrown in their faces), into an awesome song. Yeah, I know, I'm seventeen years old inside. Here are the lyrics so you can follow along:
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give it just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be, You wanna be
A loser like me, A loser like me
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be, You wanna be
A loser like me, A loser like me, A loser like me
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be, You wanna be
A loser like me, A loser like me
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be, You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me), A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me, A loser like me, A loser like me!
And this last one is sung by Blaine (Darren Criss); he does "Misery" (not an original song - it was first done by Maroon 5). I love this guy. He's cute, he's talented and he could be singing the phone book and I'd swoon. I like him so much, I've even downloaded his mini-album from iTunes. LOVE his voice.
