Monday Music Battle

Today I present:

GIRLS GENERATION VS KE$HA

 

Rumor has it that the song was given to Ke$ha but was never officially released, it was leaked. SNSD/Girls Generation released it. Check out both versions here and feel free to post your comments.

Well, so far I haven't maintained a weekly update with this, but I will try to do it more often. I truly need to remember to schedule my postings when I am too busy to do them timely, haha.

Martin VS SHINee

Today, I introduce Martin. Martin (Martin Hoberg Hedegaard) was the very first winner of the Danish series of the show, X Factor. He is also credited as the youngest winner of the competition. Honestly, I stumbled upon this by looking for English subtitled music videos. I am glad that I have. His debut studio album, Show the World, was released by Sony BMG in 2008 and went 3x platinum. 

SHINee is a South Korean boy band (well, they were... they have of course grown up a bit) who did a cover of Show the World, called Love Like Oxygen, on their album The Shinee World soon after the release of Martin's single. Although it is a cover, the lyrics and the message is different.

I felt it would be appropriate to include SHINee in today's music battle since they have a comeback on the horizon. Soon they will release their new single, Dream Girl. I will post more about it in an upcoming update!

We all know that there are many songs throughout time that share the same melody, beat, or even the same song all together. In my search for such music, I wanted to share these songs with you! I hope to make this a weekly or biweekly feature ^^ (I am slightly aware that I could run out of songs quickly, haha)

Duffy VS Girls Generation

Duffy's Mercy, released in 2008 from her album Rockferry. Her song was even performed on Glee.

I even get to hear this song played almost daily at work. Don't get me wrong, I really like the song, so I am not complaining.

Although it has been a major hit, the song wasn't bought by only one record company....

  Girls Generation released their album, I Got A Boy, January 1st of this year (2013, in case you are like me and still writing the wrong year a month into it). Dancing Queen... n,o not any relation to ABBA song whatsoever... is one of the tracks. While I find the song pretty fun and catchy, the music video just doesn't do much for me. These girls, er.. um... women, are in thier 20's now. Is so much aegyo (acting cute/playful) really necessary?! What happened to 'Girls bring the boys out'? I absolutely love Girls Generation, but they can't stay 'girls' forever.

Let me know what you think of the songs, and um... the music video. :P
