The Saturdays - Headlines!


¡Sí, sí, sí! Gracias por tener esa magnífica idea de sacar un EP que nos ha alegrado el caluroso verano. Y es que si te llegan una serie de temazos para hacer una reedición y son todos tan buenos, ¿por qué no sacarlos todos juntos como un nuevo mini-disco? Secundo la idea.

Este lunes se puso a la venta Headlines!, el tercer disco de mis sabaditas sabaderas, encabezado con el single veraniego Missing You, que si bien estuvo toda la semana en los mid-weeks en el nº1, al final han tenido que conformarse con un nº3, cosa que veo injusta, pero ya tendrán su primer nº1 algún día.

Voy a despiezarlo:

Missing You

Temazo. Suena a The Saturdays pero con un toque diferente. Todo ello acompañado con un vídeo precioso y una coreo que ya me sé, hacen de ella sin duda la canción de este verano para mí.

Ego

Buff, en teoría el single con el que la gente más se ha quedado de Wordshaker, pero a mí nunca me ha gustado. Cosas mías, no sé por qué.

Higher

Esto no es un temazo, es un señor TEMAZO. La mejor del disco. No creí que llegaría nunca una canción a la altura de Up, pero ésta es la sucesora. Y es que los responsables de ésta son los de aquella también. Chapó. El gritito de Una del bridge lo he escuchado cien mil veces ^^

Rochelle dijo que sería el siguiente single y espero que así sea.

Actuación en directo (falta Mollie, que estaba malita): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMp1I2kpflQ

Versión estudio (atención, tenga un pañuelo a mano por riesgo de correrse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_znvp8GsvjE


Forever Is Over


El primer single del disco anterior para mí no pasa de fecha. Otro de esos intentos de las sábadas de dar un pasito en otra dirección y que yo aplaudo y aplaudiré siempre.

Died In Your Eyes

Una balada, versión de una canción de Kristinia DeBarge. Yo no la veo ni creo que la vea más hacia delante. Ellas tienen temas lentos muy bonitos y una versión de otra artista creo que les sobra.

Karma

Otro tema potente del mini-disco muy sonido ellas petardo petardo y la letra lo mismo: cagándose en su ex-novio que la dejó porque necesitaba espacio y ahora le ve con otra. Con frases tan típicas como "deberíamos vernos con otras personas" o frases tan buenas como "espero que te atragantes con un café caliente" jajaja las amo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKGEs4Txfzk

Puppet

La última de las nuevas del EP tiene también un rollo que se aleja un poquito del pop rosa de las sábadas, pero me encanta ese ritmo del fondo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tngq466JWT0

One Shot (Starsmith Mix)

Apenas remezclado uno de los temazos de Wordshaker, sólo le han añadido unos ritmillos extra, pero que quedan bien.

Ready To Rise (B-Side)

Ésta no viene en el disco, pero es la cara B de Missing You y me hace el EP un poquito más largo. Una composición de las chicas, que cada vez van cogiendo más tablas en eso de componer y cada vez les salen cosas mejores. Suena muy gay XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTiE14xegh0



En resumen, un EP áltamente recomendable, más bien diría imprescindible, que saca de la monotonía estival y que será un muy buen aperitivo hasta su siguiente disco.

Curso musical 2009/2010

¿A veces no sentís que os pasa algo e inmediatamente se os viene una canción a la cabeza? A mí me pasa continuamente. Y es que me gusta tanto la música que a menudo cuando atravieso cierto situación, una canción u otra me acompaña. O incluso, cuando ha pasado un tiempo y escucho la letra de algún tema, me recuerda a aquel momento.


Este curso académico que ya acaba he sentido y he experimentado muchas cosas y lo quiero expresar a través de la música.


2009. SEPTIEMBRE: Glee Cast - Taking Chances


Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world but
Don't want to be alone tonight
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past
And I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last

But what do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?

I just want to start again
Maybe you can show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin

What do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down
But I always come back for more, yeah
There's nothing but love to pull you up
When you're lying down on the floor, yeah
So talk to me, talk to me
Like lovers do
Yeah walk with me, walk with me
Like lovers do
Like lovers do

OCTUBRE: Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love


Too much of anything can make you sick
Even the good can be a curse
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Knowing too much can get you hurt

Is it better? Is it worse?
Are we sitting in reverse?
It's just like we're going backwards
I know where I want this to go
Driving fast but let's go slow
What I don't wanna do is crash, no

Just know that you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitting's out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having it's worth fighting for

Now every day ain't gon' be no picnic
Love ain't a walk in the park
All you can do is make the best of it now
Can't be afraid of the dark


NOVIEMBRE: Britney Spears - Quicksand


...
Baby, of all the guys, you were my favorite
Don't ask, me why
I just can't say goodbye
Not not, tonight
No, I just can't say it

Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on
Baby, gotta keep holdin' on to what we have
Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on
Baby because you and me are sinkin' like Quicksand (Like Quicksand)

(Like-like-like) Like Quicksand
(Like-like-like) Like Quicksand
(Like-like-like) Baby, because you and me are sinkin' like Quicksand
(Like-like-like) Like Quicksand
(Like-like-like) Baby, like Quicksand
(Like-like-like) Baby, because you and me are sinkin' like Quicksand
...
Cause the ground is breaking, I can feel it shaking
Wish it was that easy, but it's not that easy
Gotta hold my hands out, gotta keep my head up
Gotta keep on breathin', baby even if we’re sinkin'

Even If we're sinkin'
Baby, even if we're sinkin'
Even if we are sinkin'
Cause I just-just, gotta-gotta hold

DICIEMBRE: The Saturdays - Forever Is Over


Aaah, aah
I was caught in a place
Far away from the light
What I saw I couldn’t face
So I close my eyes

Wish I could turn back the page
Rewrite my point of view
Save all the time you waste
Got to get gone, gone, gone
Don’t let it escalate
Don’t fight it’s just not use
There’s nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone

Forever is over
And my heart’s not gonna pray
Forever is over
And I’m no longer afraid
Cause if I don’t get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away
And I'm getting closer
To the place I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over

I don’t want you to tell me
You found someone
Cause I got no distance
Left to run

Wish I could turn back the page
Rewrite my point of view
Save all the time you waste
Got to get gone, gone, gone
Don’t let it escalate
Don’t fight it’s just not use
 There’s nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone

Forever is over
And my heart’s not gonna pray
Forever is over
And I’m no longer afraid
Cause if I don’t get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away
And I'm getting closer
To the place I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over

I’m on the other side
And now I realise
I’m in paradise
Coz you’re out my life

2010. ENERO: Britney Spears - Brave New Girl




She's gonna pack her bags
She's gonna find her way
She's gonna get right out of this
She don't want New York
She don't want L.A.
She's gonna find that special kiss
She don't want no sleep
She don't want no high
Oh, like peaches ‘n' cream
She's gonna wish on stars and touch the sky
Ah, you know what I mean

She wants a good time
No need to rewind
She needs to really really find what she wants
She lands on both feet
Won't take a back seat
There's a brave new girl
And she's comin' out tonight

She's gonna step outside
Uncover her eyes
Who knew she could feel so alive
Her M.O.'s changed
She don't wanna behave
Ain't it good to be a brave girl tonight
Tonight, it's alright
A brave girl tonight

So she met this man
He was kinda rough
He said, girl, whatcha lookin' for
She said, I don't know
I go with the flow
He said, let's get on the floor
He said, you look real cute with your low ride jeans
And your pink little baby tee
Let's get a room, girl
Come and ride with me

FEBRERO: Nelly Furtado - Maneater


Everybody look at me, me
I walk in the door you start screaming
Come on everybody what you here for?
Move your body around like a nympho
Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
I want to see you all on your knees, knees
You either wanna be with me or be me!


Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars
Make you cut cards
Make you fall, real hard in love


She's a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars
Make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!


And when she walks she walks with passion
When she talks, she talks like she can handle it
When she asks for something boy she means it
Even if you never ever seen it


Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
You doing anything to keep her by your side
Because, she said she love you, love you long time!


Never ever met her at all!
You wish you never ever met her at all!
...


MARZO: Glee Cast - Crush



I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"
...
Not like everything I do depends on you

ABRIL: Agnes - Love Love Love


My friends keep saying, that I need patience
Fools rushing, better slow down
They keep talking but good things come
But I don’t wanna wait

My heart is sakin’, I’m not mistaken
The moment I saw you my whole world started to change
You could be what I’ve been looking for
I come back for more and I want you to know

I wanna feel love, love, love
Lift me up to the sky
Oh give me love, love, love
Take me higher then high
I will show you heaven when I get you alone
I don’t wanna wait anymore
...
I’m waiting for a sign
That you made up your mind
Don’t keep my hanging on forever
Don’t waste another night
I don’t wanna wait no more…


MAYO: Katy Perry - E.T.



You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil
Could you be an angel

Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch of foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch of foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

There is this transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
All

JUNIO: Kylie - All The Lovers


Dance
It's all I wanna do
So won't you
Dance
I'm standing here with you
Why won't you move
I'll get inside your groove
Cuz I'm on fire fire fire fire

It hurts
When you get too close
But baby it hurts
If love is really good
You just want more
Even if it throws you to the fire fire fire fire

All the lovers
That have gone before
They don't compare to you
Don't be running
Just give me a little bit more
They don't compare
All the lovers

Feel
Can't you see there's so much here to feel
Deep inside your heart
You know I'm real
Can't you see that this is really higher higher higher higher

Breathe
I know you find it hard
But baby breathe
Lying next to me
Its all you need
And i'll take you there
I'll take you higher higher higher higher

JULIO: Jordin Sparks - Battlefield


Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happened here
One minute, it's love
And suddenly it's like a battlefield

One word turns into war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield - can't go back, now

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now?

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like..

Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose what we have, oh, no

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing) oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it now...

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield, a battlefield

Better go and get your armor (get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

AGOSTO: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance


I want your ugly, I want your disease
I want your everything as long as it’s free.
I want your love, love love love,
I want your love.

I want you drama, the touch of your hand,
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand.
I want your love, love love love,
I want your love.

You know that I want you,
And you know that I need you,
I want it bad, a bad romance.

I want your love and I want your revenge,
You and me could write a bad romance.
I want your love and all your lover’s revenge,
You and me could write a bad romance.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Caught in a bad romance.

Ra Ra-ah-ah-ah, Roma Roma-ma
GaGa Oh la-la, want your bad romance.

I want your horror, I want your design
‘Cuz you’re a criminal as long as you’re mine
I want your love, love love love
I want your love,

I want your psycho, your vertigo shtick,
Want you in my rear window, baby you’re sick
I want your love, love love love,
I want your love.
...
I want your love and I want your revenge,
I want your love, I don’t wanna be friends.
Je veux ton amour et je veux ta revenge,
Je veux ton amour, I don’t wanna be friends.

Want your bad romance!

SEPTIEMBRE: Britney Spears - Autumn Goodbye


Thinkin' of you and the love of our lives
in the sweet summertime
so sad but true (so true, so true)
we must leave it behind
in our hearts, in our minds

From April through September
bittersweet was the love that we shared
don't forget
I remember

I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
but summer love will keep us warm long after
our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
autumn goodbye

Memories can fade
but my heart has a place
for the smile on your face
and maybe someday
we can be more than friends
love will find us again

Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back
the love that we shared
on the time that we borrowed
...
We'll leave behind
the summertime
our hearts, our minds
they will remind
we won't forget
the day we met
the day we cried
Autumn Goodbye



Y vuestro año, ¿cómo ha sido?

Nuevos vídeos

The Saturdays - Higher



El nuevo vídeo de las sábadas, segundo single del mini-album Headlines!, es uno de los mejores temas que hayan hecho nunca. Ahora, ¿esa portada? Pa pegarles. Esto qué es ¿High School Musical? ¿Vuelta al insti o qué? Esas pintas, esas poses (la cara de Mollie, la rubia, es de esas que te pillan cuando estás sonriendo y se acaba la sonrisa y te pillan como con cara de asco), ese fondo horrible, ellas muy mal recortadas con photoshop que parece que lo haya hecho un fan. Fatal. Una broma, vaya.

Por otra parte, no sé por qué tuvieron la maravillosa idea de hacer una colaboración con Flo Rida para cagar el tema, porque eso es lo que han hecho. Las partes del rapero están metidas con calzador y no pegan nada, además de quitar el mejor trozo de la canción (los grititos de Una). ¡Imperdonable!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyQdIfL7fhk

El vídeo que ha salido, es sin esta apestosa colaboración, pero también tengo cosas que decir. Empiezo por los estilismos: Mollie, quema ese sombrero ya; Frankie, me gustaba más con el pelo más oscuro; Vanessa, de aquí derecha al entrenamiento de las animadoras del insti ¿no?; Una, esas botas... ¿recicladas del vídeo de superheroínas de Ego?; y Rochelle, guapísima. Le han puesto a dieta para perder esos kilos que ganó este verano comiendo donuts (en el vídeo de Missing You se aprecia). Y ese pelo mucho mejor que el de la era Wordshaker.

El concepto del vídeo no está mal. Me gusta que siempre intenten algo nuevo. El escenario me recuerda un poco al vídeo de Ego. Tiene bastante musicalidad, es decir, que hacen cosas al ritmo de la música como lo del paso de cebra o la niñatada de los brazos y las piernas. Aunque esto último parece la típica tontería que se le ha ocurrido a la de la limpieza que pasaba por allí y el director ha dicho, vale, vamos a hacerlo.

Los bailarines de las escaleras... ¿pueden ir más descompasados y desiguales? El segundo estribillo en las escaleras sentadas... Tío, que es una canción muy animada. Le sacan coreo a Missing You, que era complicado, y no se la ponen a Higher. En fin.

Me gusta cuando van andando. Eso da mucho dinamismo al vídeo. Pero la parte chula de Una... La cámara la empotra contra un coche, cortan y ponen otro plano como muy de cerca, que la pobre no puede ni aguantar.

Las escenas del final a cámara lenta me gustan.

En general, esperaba un vídeo petardillo rollo el de Up, con su coreo y eso, pero bueno, no está mal éste tampoco.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEnz3r2F-Bw


Cheryl Cole - Promise This




La canción es un poco rara, pero el "aloeto" se pega XD

El vídeo no está mal, pero no me fascina como el de FFTL o el de 3 Words. Éste es más como el de Parachute, un poco como para cuarto single o así. Tenían que haber invertido un poco más.

Y es que hace nada que Chezza tuvo malaria y ya sacando nuevo disco y vídeo. Qué crack de mujer :D

La coreo está chula. Me gusta el paso que hace cuando lo de aloeto eto eto ^^ Y las escenas finales que sale como volando a contraluz son preciosas.

Eso sí, le veo la cara como hinchada, diferente. ¿Alguien más lo ve o soy sólo yo?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F1q0Vn4u4g


Rihanna - Who's That Chick

¿De dónde sale esto? La canción también se pega y me gusta. Y siendo una producción de David Guetta, calidad hay, aunque haya abusado del autotune.

Todos esperábamos el vídeo de Only Girl (In The World) y de repente se filtra esto, que yo no sé si serán singles simultáneos o si esto es un anuncio japonés de una sala recreativa o qué.

El vídeo es barato y hecho deprisa y corriendo. Toma Rihanna, ponte este disfraz, te maquillamos con ceras de colores y lo rodamos todo seguidito, que luego vienen a rodar un anuncio de un videojuego de baile.

A pesar de todo esto, me gusta mucho más el rumbo que está tomando Rihanna hacia la música de baile y lo alegre y colorido. Espero más de este disco que del anterior.
