Included in the last batch of Glee tracks which could be heard in last week’s season two finale "New York" were four new original songs, Matthew Morrison’s latest single, and one of the best duets from the entire season. 
It wouldn’t truly be Glee without one final mash-up of the season. The mash-up of Madonna’s “I Love New York” with On The Town’s “New York, New York” is interesting. Glee definitely sped up the tempo from the original Madonna song, which gave it more of a pop feel and kind of took away the song’s edge. I did like Cory Monteith (Finn) and Naya Rivera (Santana) on lead vocals together. It’s nice to mix up the Lea Michele/Monteith leads every so often. I like that Glee kind of put in the effort this season to let Rivera shine a little more.
I couldn’t help but crack up a little at Mark Salling (Puck), Chord Overstreet (Sam), and Kevin McHale’s (Artie) “Bella Notte,” which is from Disney’s Lady and The Tramp. It’s one of those songs that you don’t expect to hear on Glee, but it’s still just oh-so charming. The song is sung well by all three guys. I like that it’s not overtly cheesy, and would fit nicely alongside other tracks on your Glee playlist.
Matt Morrison (Will) took a turn in the spotlight with “Still Got Tonight,” which was co-written by American Idol season eight winner, Kris Allen. The song is Morrison’s current single off his recently released debut album. Crossover promotion at it’s finest! I really like this song. I think it’s a great mid-tempo pop track that I hope does well for Morrison.
Glee unleashed four new original tracks, including the hilarious “My Cup” sung by Heather Morris. Even though this track is just for laughs, it’s actually quite catchy. I found myself listening to it on repeat. It’s just one of those songs that makes you smile.
“As Long As You’re There” was the original song written for Charice (Sunshine) to sing with Vocal Adrenaline at Nationals. I’m usually not a big ballad person, but I really like this song. Charice’s voice and the song go hand in hand. She excels with these types of songs, so it’s nice to hear her end the season literally on a high note.
