S07 E05 ~ Overused Realness

Cher Lloyd - Sirens

Back when in the good old times when I did not have an account on the forums (jk lmao) I participated in a lot of contests on youtube and this song was used everywhere and always got a great result just because this song slaps imo! I still listen to it nowadays, I always jam to this song with my best friend when we’re going to a party and I still love it and it brings back some good memories from 2014 (oh gosh I’m old lmao)

I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart
And the wind is so icy, I am numb
I carry the weight of you heading back to start
With the thousand eyes on me, I stumble on
I am tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I carry the weight of you
I carry the weight of you
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
We follow the sun down low 'til we hit the night
And you hold me so tightly
It's hard to breathe
Oh
And I'm tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
We follow the sun down low
We follow the sun down low
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling
Yeah, I'm tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I am drowning, and you're stealing every breath
Take me away and just
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling can't say more it would be telling
For if you don't what will become of you
Just isn't worth any king's shilling
Please don't put your silly head in that pretty soldier's hat
You've done your duty, that's enough of that
I don't know if what I'm doing is right
I don't know if you should be forgiving
But for me it seems it means my life
While for you it could just be a living
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
I can't say more it would be telling
For if you don't what will become of you
Just isn't worth any king's shilling
Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat
You've done your duty that's enough of that
You're a fine one, oh yes you are
You're a fine one, just like me

"Diamond Hard" by Kerli 2:55+ It's overused week so I truly went into my spotify library and found the most unoriginal song I could that still bangs like it did in its glory days? My answer? Kerli. Estonian national icon and main pop girl has been around since 2004, but made a name for herself in 2008 with the iconic "Walking on Air." In 2016, Kerli had a major comeback showcasing her new, dark sound. The General Public let it flop, but honey the gays were living, eating, and breathing. Diamond Hard was a contest staple after its release. Partly because it bangs, partly because Estonia doesn't have someone more iconic to represent them, partly because it's Estonia and their music scene doesn't provide something like this often. Diamond Hard was everywhere at the time of its release, most notably coming second NVSC 20. It's even appeared in DSR before in S5EP5, along with another overused legend Betta Lemme with "Give it" in a (near flawless) mashup. The song is the definition of overused, but three years later, still gives the gays everything we want. And More

LYRICS You're rolling me in gravel, I'll leave without a scratch You throwing rocks at my way, but I just won't react The less I see the sun The brighter I'll become Outnumbered and outgunned That's where I'm shining at My skin is soft like velvet but my nails are razor sharp My scent is sweet like honey but I am diamond hard My ways they cut through plastic, rust free my golden heart This shit is so bombastic, yeah I am diamond hard Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable heart I am diamond hard Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable heart I am diamond hard I am diamond hard Push comes to shove I'll revel, rising under attack When no one betting on me, is when I'll own the track The less I see the sun The brighter I'll become I'm fast and stop when I'm run With knives stuck in my back My skin is soft like velvet but my nails are razor sharp My scent is sweet like honey but I am diamond hard My ways they cut through plastic, rust free my golden heart This shit is so bombastic, yeah I am diamond hard Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable heart I am diamond hard Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable heart I am diamond hard I am diamond hard I am diamond hard

"Wings" by Delta Goodrem 2:39+ I'm not even gonna hesitate. "Wings" is the overused song that I know I need to send. There's a reason it's been sent to so many contests and have generally done very well wherever it's sent. It's so damn good that it would be stupid for nobody to send this. Delta Goodrem released what became a massive hit with still her best song to this day. "Wings" does not sound like your average hit. It's a heavenly combination of her smooth, dynamic vocals and classical production. The instrumentation of predominantly strings and piano is organic, not artificial, adding authenticity and staying true to Delta's style and musical background. The beat of the drums adds modernity, heart, and soul to the track. Lyrically, "Wings" is universally empowering and means a lot to me. Often, I've bound myself to my self-control and held back on my impulses, kind of like my time in the competition so far. But whenever I listen to this song, I just feel uplifted and free. This week, it's time I let go of my doubts. No matter what happens this week, I am proud of this choice. Delta Goodrem has elevated "Wings" to more than just a pop song. It's a visual and auditory masterpiece, and one of my favorite pop songs of all time. I'm still devastated the official music video is still blocked in the USA (I had to search through old posts within the forum to find links directly to the video). That's how badly I love the song. At least it's on Spotify for us Americans.

LYRICS A beating drum, it's in my lungs I breathe it in, it takes my breath away I don't look back, it's just a trap We are all one but we're not the same Everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody wants to leave the world behind them Everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody's looking for a second chance Everybody's wishing they could take a stand Everybody's looking for a second chance What if I lose my self control What if I choose to let it go I want to let you and me collide Baby these wings were made These wings were made to fly (fly-ly, fly-ly) The deepest veins, the darkest truth A secret place I only want to share with you Look in my eyes, undress my soul Cause everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody wants to leave the world behind them Everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody's looking for a second chance Everybody's wishing they could take a stand Everybody's looking for a second chance What if I lose my self control What if I choose to let it go I want to let you and me collide Baby these wings were made These wings were made to fly (fly-ly, fly-ly) These wings were made to fly (fly-ly, fly-ly) Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly What if I lose my self control What if I choose to let it go I want to let you and me collide Baby these wings were made to fly What if I lose my self control What if I choose to let it go I want to let you and me collide Baby these wings were made These wings were made to Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly These wings were made to Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly Fly-ly, fly-ly Everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody wants to leave the world behind them Everybody's looking for a new horizon Everybody's looking for a second chance Everybody's wishing they could take a stand Everybody's looking for a second chance These wings were made to fly

KeshYou 
Rizamyn (Ризамын)

2:06+

There are two kinds of people. The first, and inferior, being the people that knew Zhanar Dugalova through her victory in Turkvizyon with "Izin korem." The second, and woke, being those who knew her as part of Kazkahstan's most famous girl group KeshYou, with their whole discography used relentlessly in song contests. Rizamyn happened to be that one used the most. It's also a fucking bop, don't kid yourselves.

Lyrics:
Azat elimniń tarlandaryna rızamyn men
Darhan dalamnyń arlandaryna rızamyn men
Rızamyn, rızamyn, rızamyn men
Rızamyn, rızamyn, rızamyn men
Rızamyn, rızamyn, rızamyn, rızamyn
Rızamyn, rızamyn men, rızamyn men

Bar janynda san arman rýhy bıik qandaı
El baǵyna jaralǵan jigitter nardaı
Ár paryzy ótelgen
Kók baıraǵyn kótergen
Sertterinen taımaı

Synaqtan esh seskenbegen
Uran etken batyr babasyn
Dushpanǵa da des bermegen
Jan aıamaı qorǵap dalasyn
Tulǵalary bıik taýdan
Ata jolyn ustap qalǵan
Juldyz bolyp kókte janǵan

Azat elimniń tarlandaryna rızamyn men
Darhan dalamnyń arlandaryna rızamyn men
Aıbarlaryn kórgende senim oty sónbes
Rızamyn men erlerge namystaryn bermes

Ar jolynan jańylmas, erlikteri ǵajap
Ol eshkimge baǵynbas júregi azat
Teń keletin shyńdarmen
Dál osyndaı uldarmen maqtanady qazaq

Tulpardaı bop tań atyrǵan
Uly elde týǵan ulandar
“Alashym”, - dep alasurǵan
Altyn qanat bizdiń qyrandar
Bolmas kezi baǵy ushqan
Alda kelgen san jarystan
Árqaısysy bir arystan

Azat elimniń tarlandaryna rızamyn men
Darhan dalamnyń arlandaryna rızamyn men
Aıbarlaryn kórgende senim oty sónbes
Rızamyn men erlerge namystaryn bermes

"Italiana" by Severina Timeslot: 2:38+ "Severina's Italiana was one the most iconic overused songs in 2013 and 2014. This song was everywhere and it caused many contests to take a pit stop in Zagreb. This song is an absolute BOP and jump kicked Severina in song contests. It is one of my favorite songs and I actually won a contest with it. Please enjoy this throwback and twerk for the gods."
