A. Love You Like a Love Song
Contoh Review Text:
“Love You Like a Love Song” by Selena Gomez
“Love You Like a Love Song” is single from one of Disney’s shining stars, Selena Gomez. The youngs who love this young singer/actress will like this song.
Gomez isn’t known for having a super-strong voice or the most original arrangements, but she deserves props for this song, which mercifully tones down the standard synth-pop noise and kicks the vocal performance up a notch.
The end result sounds a bit more creative and mature than the rest of the bubblegum-pop pack. Selena’s music is always great, and her voice sounds great especially in the bridge.
In the past century people seem to believe that a love song for pop has to be acoustic with guitars, and love songs for Rap/Hip-Hop have to sound the same.
This doesn’t seem to bother Rihanna, Lady GaGa, and now Selena Gomez. To be honest in the past century “Love You Like A Love Song” has been the most original love song in years.
Monotune was perfectly done here, and the Autotune was good layered, Autotune is not just robotic Beyonce and Rihanna use it to.
Must original love song and just song in years. Its about loving someone like a love song its gonna use love song cliches.
Terjemahan:
“Love You Like a Love Song” dr Selena Gomez
“Love You Like a Love Song” merupakan single dr salah satu bintang bersinar Disney, yg bernama Selena Gomez.
Anak – anak muda yg suka akan penyanyi atau aktris muda satu ini tentu saja akan suka dgn lagu ini.
Gomez tak diketahui mempunyai suara yg kuat maupun pengaturan yg khas, tetapi ia layak menjadi media untuk menunjukkan lagu ini, yg dgn penuh kasih nada me non-aktifkan suara synth-pop kriteria serta menendang kinerja vokal sampai takik.
Hasil final dr lagu ini pula terdengar sedikit lebih kreatif serta matang daripada jenis bubblegum-pop yang lain. Musik Selena senantiasa bagus, dgn bunyi khas yg terdengar luar biasa.
Pada waktu sekarang ini orang nampak yakin jika lagu cinta untuk pop harus akustik dgn gitar, serta lagu cinta untuk Rap/ Hip-Hop harus terdengar sama.
Namun hal ini sepertinya tak dipedulikan oeh Rihanna, Lady GaGa, & Selena Gomez. Sebetulnya lagu “Love You Like A Love Song” sudah menjadi lagu cinta paling khas selama bertahun – tahun.
Mono tune tepat dilakukan ada lagu ini, serta autotune nya pula bagus & berlapis, autotune tak cuma mirip robot ala Beyonce serta Rihanna yg menerapkannya.
Harus lagu cinta yg alami serta nyanyikan lagu hanya dlm beberapa tahun. Lagu ini bercerita mengenai menyayangi seseorang mirip lagu cinta yg akan menggunakan lagu cinta yg klise.
B. Let it go
Contoh Review Text:
“Let It Go” – Demi Lovato
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go , let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
The snow blows shite on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in
Heaven knows I try
Don’t let them in , don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal , don’t feel , don’t let them know
Well now they know
“let it go , let it go”
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I’II stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
Up here up the cold thin air I finally can breathe
I know left a life behind nut I’m to relieved to grieve
Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
You won’t find me , the past is so behind me
Bured in the snow
Let it go, let it go
Can’t you back anymore
Let it go , let it go
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I’II stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

“Let It Go” – Demi Lovato
Kurelakan , relakan
Tak mampu lagi menangkal mu
Kurelakan , relakan
Kupalingkan wajah & ku banting pintu
Salju berhembus putih di gunung malam ini
Tak ada jejak kaki yg terlihat
Kerajaan keterasingan & sepertinya akulah ratunya
Angin menderu kolam ada pusaran topan didalam sana
Tak bis terus menahan nya
Langit tahu gue sudah berusaha
Jangan biarkan mereka masuk, jangan biarkan mereka melihat
Jadilah gadis baik , mirip semestinya
Sembunyikanlah , jangan rasakan ,jangan biarkan mereka tahu
Kini mereka tahu
Kurelakan, relakan
Tak bisa lagi mencegahmu
Ku relakan, relakan
Kupalingkan wajah & ku banting pintu
Dan disinilah ku berdiri
Dan disinilah gue akan tinggal
Kurelakan, relakan
Betapapun , masbodoh tak pernah menggangguku
Sungguh ucu betapa jarak bikin segalanya terlihat kecil
Dan rasa takut yg pernah mengontrol kini tak bisa mendekatiku
Di atas sini dlm dinginya udara, hasilnya gue bisa bernafas
Aku tahu tlah lewati sebuah kehidupan tetapi gue terlalu lega hingga tak bisa berduka
Berdiri membeku dlm hidup yg tlah ku pilih
Kau takkan temukanku masa kemudian tlah jauh ku tinggalkan
Terkubur dlm salju
Kini mereka tahu
Kurelakan , relakan
Tak mampu lagi mencegahmu
Kurelakan, relakan
Kupalingkan wajah & ku banting pintu
Dan disini lah ku berdiri
Dan disinilah gue akan tinggal
Kurelakan, relakan
Betapapun , acuh taacuh tak pernah menggangguku
