The "THAT'S THE SAME STUPID SONG!" Contest (SECOND EDITION)!

[Djamila]

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the second edition of RF's THAT'S THE SAME STUPID SONG! Contest!

This time around we have a three-way race for the title of MOST TALENTED, YET OBVIOUSLY TALENTLESS ARTIST!


In one corner, we have GUZEL! Guzel is a strikingly beautiful Turkish singer, comes from the Islamic faith, and has entered the contest with her version of the song: Of of!

Djamila's critique: There are so many unusual and unique sounds in the Turkish language that come from places in the throat you will never hear from any other language on earth. That alone makes this song especially beautiful, especially the chorus.


In the next corner, we have NELLY MAKDESSI! Nelly comes from Lebanon, practices the Islamic faith, and - thanks to numerous cosmetic surgeries - is one beautiful woman. She's entering the contest with her version of the song: Ouf ouf!

Djamila's critique: Nelly managed to find the best musical interpretation of the song and her deep voice, which is quite unique in terms of the Arabic language, gives this song something very special.


And finally, the blackhorse of this competition, we have KAITI GARBI! Kaiti comes to us all the way from Greece, practices the Orthodox Christian faith, and is entering the contest with her version: Stohos.

Djamila's critique: The Greek language is so formal, so ancient, and so beautiful (they roll their r's quite strongly, and there simply are a lot of them in the language) that this song is sure to pleace. Greek is also most like English in structure of these three languages so it will send less alien to RF's forumers - maybe that'll be enough to give Kaiti the victory?

So, take a listen, and CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE!

I voted for Turkish version, I just love that language so much - it's so unique and... well, weird.

These are the lyrics of the Turkish version of the song. Play it again and try to follow along as she sings, see how far you can get!

iclendigim gunler oldu
bozuldugum seyler oldu
hicbirini yansitmadim
konusmaksa bir hayal oldu
uzulmem mi, bozulmam mi?
kirilmam mi, dagilmam mi of
kadersiz miyim neyim
oyuncagin miyim neyim

of of komur gibi yaniyorum
of of ayip midir seviyorum
of of hislerimle oynuyorsun
girgir gecip duruyorsun
neden boyle yapiyorsun of

of of komur gibi yaniyorum
of of ben derdimi biliyorum
of of duslerime giriyorsun
bir girdin mi cikmiyorsun
neden boyle yapiyorsun of
ben sadece golgen oldum

dur dedigin yerde durdum
bes para etmez dunyada
guvendigim bir sen oldun
olan yine bana oldu
sana bir gun daha dogdu of

of of komur gibi yaniyorum
of of ayip midir seviyorum
of of hislerimle oynuyorsun
girgir gecip duruyorsun
neden boyle yapiyorsun of
of of komur gibi yaniyorum

of of ben derdimi biliyorum
of of duslerime giriyorsun
bir girdin mi cikmiyorsun
neden boyle yapiyorsun of
