If this doesn’t up his album sales, nothing will.
For the first time in Glee history, a cast member will be performing one of their own, original songs on the FOX show. Matthew Morrison, whose debut self-titled album comes out tomorrow, will be singing Still Got Tonight on the show’s New York-themed Season 2 finale.
The decision to let Matt perform his own work was not arrived to easily. Ryan Murphy, the show’s creator, reveals that it was a process, creatively and logistically, but ultimately, everyone involved thought it was a good idea to give Matt his moment to shine. Ryan explains:
├óΓé¼┼ôIt worked because we wanted to do a scene where Matt goes into a Broadway hall and sings something alone. Plus, Matt is such a great team player and he├óΓé¼Γäós done so much for different Glee charities…We worked really hard to make it feel organic to the show.├óΓé¼┬¥
Well, that’s good to hear.
We’re happy that he gets to have his music reach every single Gleek in the world (because honestly, who isn’t going to tune in for the season finale), but only if it makes sense within the show’s context.
Meanwhile, as you can imagine, Matthew is pleased as peaches that the show has given him this opportunity. In fact, he’s confessed that the scene shot for the song is so good, he may even use it as the music video for the single.
Why the hell not, right? Milk this for all it’s worth, Matt!
P.S. – Anyone else think Mark Salling’s fuming in a corner somewhere because no one asked him to sing a song off his new album earlier this year? Anyone? Anyone?
