Diva dos and don'ts for when you forget the lyrics!

Next to cracking or missing that big note, forgetting the lyrics has got to be every Diva's nightmare. Christina Aguilera will probably be noted as the most famous victim of this feared scenario, having recently experienced it as she sang the American National Anthem to an audience of 111 million- the largest ever for a live broadcast- at the American Super Bowl. It wasn't all bad though, she managed to generate her own meme-see below- out of the experience. A feat surely to rival any awards or accolades she has obtained thus far.

(If you don't know what a meme is those pictures are going to seem pretty obtuse...lol)

Feeling for our singers, we here at DivaDevotee- with many thanks to Devotite Karen who suggested and researched this post- have compiled a list of do's and don'ts to help our Diva's deal with this unfortunate situation if, heaven forbid, it were to happen to them.

Double congratulations to Pink!

Looks like all the praying is working for Pink

Double Congratulations are in order for Ms Alicia Moore AKA Pink .
Firstly the singer is pregnant with her first child with motor cross racing husband Carey Hart!
Secondly, and pretty trivial in comparison, Pink has  just scored her third US #1 single with Raise Your Glass (Her last being #1 being So What  back in 2007)

Single Review: P!nk - Raise your glass

Raise your Glass cover

After touring for what seems like an eternity Pink's back with a new track called “Raise your glass” from her upcoming greatest hits album, “Greatest Hits...So Far!!!” which is released on the 15th of November 2010. 

As with past albums the lead off track is an up-tempo, feel good, rockpop track designed to placate fans (who have been without new material) while simultaneously reminding the short term minded world that this feisty female is still about. 

The song starts of well enough, with an interesting guitar chord progression and a bouncy vocal delivery but it quickly descends into mediocrity with the obligatory loud, shouty chorus. Even after a couple of listens I’m still no more inclined to raise my glass up, except maybe to throw it at the stereo, than I was before I listened to the song.

Raise your glass is basically Pink on autopilot, delivering to the world what she thinks the world thinks she does. However, since she’s been working so hard and so long wowing people on tour (me included), I am willing to let this clichéd, predictable and fairly pedestrian song slide.

 2.5/5

OVERALL: P!nk extra light ie shite.

Raise Your glass lyrics

Right right, turn off the lights,

We're gonna lose our minds tonight,

What's the deal, yo?

I love when it's all too much,

5am turn the radio up

Where's the rock and roll?

Party Crasher,

Penny Snatcher,

Call me up if you want gangsta

Don't be fancy, just get dancey

Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong,

In all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be never be anything but loud

And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,

Just come on and come on and raise your glass

Slam slam, oh hot damn

What part of party don't you understand,

Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)

Can't stop, coming in hot,

I should be locked up right on the spot

It's so on right now (so fuckin on right now)

Party Crasher,

Penny Snatcher,

Call me up if you want gangsta

Don't be fancy, just get dancey

Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong,

In all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be never be anything but loud

And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,

Just come on and come on and raise your glass

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,

Just come on and come on and raise your glass

(oh shit my glass is empty, that sucks)

So if you're too school for cool,

And you're treated like a fool,

You can choose to let it go

We can always, we can always,

Party on our own

(so raise your) So raise your glass if you are wrong,

In all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be never be anything but loud

And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong,

In all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be never be anything but loud

And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,

Just come on and come on and raise your glass

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,(for me)

Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
