Just Stand Up!

Como vi hoje no blog da minha mãe, hoje é o dia da música. Cheguei em casa mais cedo por conta do dentista, e acabei tomando café da tarde com a minha irmã. Começamos a falar de música, papo vai papo vem, 'acabamos' de conversar duas horas depois. Isso mesmo, das 18:00 as 20:00 conversando sobre música.

Nesse papo, me lembrei de uma performance que eu assisti a muitas vezes na época, e de vez em quando ainda assisto. Aproveitando o assunto de parcerias musicais vou publicar uma das grandes hoje.

13 cantoras, 1 música.

Just Stand Up! Foi lançada em 21 de agosto de 2008, e foi performada ao vivo no dia 5 de setembro de 2008, no Stand Up 2 Cancer. Chegou ao décimo primeiro lugar na Billboard Hot 100.

Agora vamos apresentar as cantoras mais ou menos na ordem em que aparecem na música:

Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood e Rihanna

Fergie, Miley Cyrus e Nicole Scherzinger

Leona Lewis, Keyshia Cole e Natasha Bedingfield

Mariah Carey, Ashanti, Mary J. Blige e Ciara

O que é legal e que com tantas grandes cantoras e de diferentes estilos músicas a música foi dividida em partes iguais, e onde cada uma pôde se destacar, exceto a Ciara, não sei o que aconteceu, mas ela faz só backing vocal, não tem um solo.

E abaixo a letra da música:

[Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Nicole Scherzinger:]

Everything will be alright yeah

Alright yeah, alright yeah

[Beyonce:]

The heart is stronger than you think

Like it could go through anything

And even when you think it can't

It finds a way to still push on though

[Carrie Underwood:]

Sometimes you want to run away

Ain't got the patience for the pain

And if you don't believe it look into your heart

The beat goes on

[Rihanna:]

I'm telling you

[Miley Cyrus:]

Things get better

[Rihanna:]

Through

[Miley:]

Whatever

[Rihanna:]

If you fall,

[Duas:]

Dust it off,

[Miley:]

Don't let up

[Nicole:]

Don't you know you can go be your own miracle

[Beyonce:]

You need to know!

[Todas:]

If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough

But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what?

Don't give up, through it all, just stand up

[Fergie:]

Ooh, it's like we all had better days

Problems getting all up in your face

[Leona Lewis:]

Just because you go through it

[Fergie:]

Don't mean it got to take control, no oh oh

[Leona Lewis:]

You ain't got to find no hiding place

[Keyshia Cole:]

Because the heart can beat the hate

[Leona Lewis:]

Don't want to let the mind keep playing you

[Keyshia:]

And saying you can't go on

[Rihanna:]

I'm telling you

[Miley Cyrus:]

Things get better

[Rihanna:]

Through

[Miley:]

Whatever

[Rihanna:]

If you fall

[Duas:]

Dust if off

[Miley:]

Don't let up

[Natasha Bedingfield:]

Don't you know

You can go

Be your own

Miracle!

[Carrie:]

You need to know!

[Todas:]

If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough

But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what?

Don't give up, through it all, just stand up

Through it all, just stand up

[Mary J. Blige:]

You don't got to be a prisoner in your mind

[Rihanna:]

If you fall, dust it off

[Mary:]

You can live your life

[Todas:]

Yeah

[Mary:]

Let your heart be your guide

[Todas:]

Yeah yeah yeah

[Mariah Carey:]

You will know there's a good if you trust the good

[Todas:]

Everything will be alright, yeah

[Ashanti:]

Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

[Mary:]

And it will get better

[Mariah:]

Through whatever

[Todas:]

If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough

But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what?

Don't give up, through it all, just stand up

[Fergie:]

You got it in you, find it within

You got it in you, find it within yeah

You got it in you, find it within

You got it in you, find it within yeah

You got it in you, find it within

You got it in you, find it within yeah

Find it within you, find it within

[Todas:]

Through it all, just stand up
