for those who aren't familiar with this acronym, it stands for Last Song Syndrome. ^^
and the song that's been on my mind for the past few days is suicidal, err, beautiful girls by jojo. young as she is (i think she's 16 or 17), she has a mature voice which i prefer to the squeaky-girly teenybopper singing voices. the original version of beautiful girls is by sean kingston, this cool 17 year-old kid from the USA and Jamaica. i think i better check out more of this guy's music before i say more, but as of this time, i'm betting on his making it big in the music industry. same thing goes for jojo.
the very first time i heard beautiful girls i immediately thought that it's some imitation song to the beat of that 60's song stand by me so it didn't register at all. my officemates and even my brother sing it on some occasions and i was like,"how jologs naman this song," in my best kris aquino impersonation. and then it completely slipped my mind. so two saturdays ago when my brother made me listen to the song again (jojo's version), i totally forgot what i initially thought of it and said, "oh, this is nice. sounds like a song from the 60's." from then on, i got hooked... so now i'm also jologs. wait, i'm actually jologs since long ago lol ;-P but seriously, i find both versions nice. they make me dance. heheheh :-) and oh, look how many times they're played already.
i'm sure these songs are already overkill by this time but i don't care. here are both versions, for your listening pleasure.
beautiful girls (jojo)
beautiful girl (sean kingston)

I think I like Jojo's version better. I guess pareho tayong jologs. ;)
ReplyDeletedi ba suicidal, that rip-off of stand by me :)
ReplyDeletemas maganda nga ang orig.. galing ah! revival lang pala ito.. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love Jojo's version better!
ReplyDeletexD
I've been bombarded with this song 24/7 ever since it came out, no thanks to those dvd vendors outside our building. And now they're playing the two versions one after the other. Mapapa-suicide ka talaga...
ReplyDeletetoe: great minds think alike LOL :D ganda nga ng version nung kay jojo.
ReplyDeletetutubi: haha mas alam ko rin sya as suicidal. =)
mimi: yeah, nothing beats the original song.
kyels: tho i like them both, i also like jojo's version better. =)
snglguy: lolz i know what you mean. mga pasaway talaga hehehe. kasi kung anong mga kantang madaling pumatok sa pinoy panay ang patugtog. sa case ko naman two weeks ago ko lang sya unang napakinggan so di pa ako nagsasawa.
i am only familiar with sean's version, i didn't know that jojo has.
ReplyDeleteanyway, we need a new hit from whoever kasi sumusobra na ang pagpapatugtog sa kanya, para na syang fm (kelangan bang imemorize yan? bisyo na tooooo). lol
I agree with snglguy on this... ;-)
ReplyDeleteNevertheless it IS a nice song.
di naman masyadong jologs, oks naman. hehe
ReplyDeleteHey gurl, you're IT! Got a tag for you in my blog. :-)
ReplyDeletezherwin: me energy ka pa baaaaah? :D yup me version si jojo nung song, ganda. ^^
ReplyDeletesidney: i also agree with that, that's why we need a new song. ^^
iskoo: di nga, hihihi. =)
snglguy: oki, i'll do my best hehehe =)
