"Royals" by Lorde

[SuperMillionaire]

Lorde's Anti-Bling Anthem Royals Tops the Charts - Businessweek

Has anyone heard "Royals" by Lorde? This song is an anti-bling album that criticizes many recording artists for promoting greed and lavish lifestyles, including things such as "bling-bling," fancy cars, extravagant mansions, jet planes, personal islands, nightclubs, and booze, and is more in line with the lifestyle of the average American person, struggling to make ends meet in this economy. Talk about the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. It's also a very catchy song, and her voice sounds a lot like Adele.

Lorde, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, hails from New Zealand, and will turn 17 in November.

When I first heard this song I thought it was Birdy.

I think that yes, some people have probably heard the current most popular song in the world. Also, I think this song is incredibly ugly.

[Shlup]

You can't not hear that song. I like the song, but every TV drama is sticking it in as background music in a scene it totally doesn't fit with and it's bugging the trout outta me.

Have you heard Blurred Lines yet? There's a lot of controversy surrounding it, because some feel it's a song about ignoring the rights of women, while some people think it's encouraging to women.

My sister made me listen to this a few weeks ago. And I've been stuck on it ever since.

Lorde is awesome. That is all.

Yes - Pop star Robin Thicke, son of Alan Thicke, also performed at the Video Music Awardss with cultural icon Miley Cyrus, born November 23rd, 1992 in Nashville, TN. Some feel that this performance was controversial as well.

[Shorty]

I'd never heard this song before now. I like her voice, but I dislike the beat and I dislike anti-propaganda songs.

[Night Fury]

I'm really not a fan of this song, the lyrics don't make sense to me, and I'm not keen on her voice.

[noxious.sunshine]

She looks like a young Rebecca Gayheart

[krissy]

this is like one of the best albums of the year, not just this song
and she's 16 so like
think on that for a second eoff

[Slothy]

the lyrics don't make sense to me

This is every song ever to me. Lyrics are the least important part of music for me, and the part my brain has the hardest time parsing. Unless I sit down and basically read the lyrics and try to figure out what they mean my brain just doesn't care. And that goes for songs I can sing along to word for word strangely enough.

As for this song, meh. It's all right I guess.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I had to look up what this song is because I'd never heard of it or her. All I can muster for it is a resounding "meh".

[Mirage]

I've never heard this song before. What's supposed to be special about it?

[Slothy]

I've gotta hand it to her though, I haven't seen someone with eyes so far apart they were practically on the sides of their head in a long time.
