"Original Song"

I remember the very first time I saw the TV show Glee in St. Tropez during our vacation in September 2009 and I instantly fell with this show. I love musicals, I love music in general, I love TV, I love drama, I love sarcasm and comedy. Glee combines all of the above. So, this series is the perfect mix for me. And the first season was PHENOMENAL. 
However, there have been quite a few episodes in the 2nd half of season 2 that were a bit disappointing (apart from the ones with Gwyneth Paltrow). 

The latest episode was, in my opinion, absolutely fantastic. 
Here are a few thoughts I jotted down while watching it.

1. Rachel's song "Get it Right" totally gave me goosebumps. Great, great job!
2. Santana can sing like there is no tomorrow. She hasn't really had many opportunities to show her talent, but I am VERY impressed. I would love to see her getting more solos.
3. The song "Loser Like Me" was a PERFECT choice. I think it ties the entire show together. Kudos to the writers!
4. But why in the world do they always have to wear those ugly costumes? Is that a rule? Can't they just wear something nice and pretty or cool, just this once?

The color of the dresses? The leggings? The shoes? I mean, are they serious???
5. The Warblers are really going on my nerves. It is time to get rid of them and have Kurt join New Directions again.  
6. As much as I love the glee club's cover versions (which are sometimes even better than the original ones), I really enjoyed listening to them sing songs exclusively written for the them. I don't pay attention to spoilers, so I have no idea if this is a thing they will keep doing or if it was an exception for this episode, but I hope they can sneak in an original song every once in a while.
