2 songs I'm so SO in love with:
Gaga-Bad Romance
note: wait till after the credits-Gaga's on the bed with a burnt skeleton. What can't Gaga do, seriously?
Haha. The first time I heard it; it really made no sense with the 'rarara' and 'oolala'. Then I watched the video clip-it was really funny to me though Gaga did look freakkyy in the bath tub looking all dolly. And now, the song was nothing more than addictive especially the rarara part. LOL. Plus did you notice how many product placements there were in the MV? So that's how artists of today are making money since everyone decided to stop buying cds and dload everything and anything. Good idea really.
and,
Rihanna- Russian Roulette.
This is just awesome. The music, the mv, the lyrics-and I'm still trying to understand the meaning of the song. And when Riri said she wanted to be dark, that's what we all got alright. Very intense and dark and and deeep and just intense. She really has stepped up.
And, guess who died in the end.
Ok, youtube's not allowing me to put the vid here so
click here, k.
And I googled to find out the meaning behind the song, here's what Yahoo music came up with:
"The message in Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" is more complicated to interpret. I felt chills the first time I heard it. I wondered why the song is named after the dangerous game? Is it supposed to be an analogy for her tumultuous relationship with Chris?
If so, why was it necessary to choose a metaphor this extreme?
The game of Russian Roulette involves inserting a single bullet into the chamber of a revolver, spinning the cylinder ... and pulling the trigger.
Before firing the gun, players hope that the cued up bullet chamber is empty.
Is Rihanna saying that her two-years with Chris was always just a click away from a tragic ending?
The "Russian Roulette" video feeds into the speculation, and is dramatic enough to star the likes of Sharon Stone and Angelina Jolie.
It opens with a scantily clad Rihanna lying on the floor. As she moves her hand, a small pool of blood is uncovered. The five red claw marks on the brick wall indicate a struggle. Rihanna's flashbacks intensify. They come faster and increasingly more disturbing, gruesome.
True to the song lyrics, the horrific game leaves Rihanna visibly troubled. She can't keep her composure. She is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, yet she continues to play along.
Rihanna comes apart as she faces the authority on the other side of the two-way mirror. She falls to her knees, worrisomely scratching her head, leaving her hair a mess.
As the video nears its close, the ill-fate finale unfolds.
There's just one final round of the haunting game, and the single gunshot heard at the end of the song scares Rihanna to death. The ending explains her predicament and her uneasy disposition. You feel her pain and wish her strength. If this is truly an analogy for her courtship with Chris, it's no wonder he is asking for forgiveness in "Crawl."
