Marshmallow lyrics

Justin Bieber, who allegedly lip-synced his Mumbai concert last week and was reprimanded for his unruly behaviour towards fans, is under fire for another goof. Bieber has more reasons to say "Sorry" again: during a live performance at a nightclub in New York City, he forgot the lyrics to his own song. While singing "Despacito", his chart-topping Spanish song with which he collaborated with Puerto Rican artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, he forgot the lyrics and improvised it, TMZ reported. Instead of singing "Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito (We're sticking together, little by little)," Bieber chanted, "Nos vamos pegando, I quit smoking ciggies." In another line, instead of "Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto (I sign the walls of your labyrinth)" he replaced it with the gibberish, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." Apparently, Bieber, 23, is exhibiting tepid relations with "Beliebers" during his "Purpose" world tour last year and in the past few months.

SINGAPORE - Jeremy Monteiro, composer and music director of several National Day songs, was in the recording studio when Count On Me, Singapore - now the song at the centre of plagiarism claims - was written. The song was composed by Canadian Hugh Harrison and arranged by Monteiro in 1986, but Indian composer Joseph Mendoza, who has been accused of copying it, claims he wrote his version, We Can Achieve, three years before in 1983. The songs are near identical, with the lyrics to Count On Me, Singapore changed to "India" or "Mother India" instead of "Singapore" on We Can Achieve. Home-grown jazz stalwart Monteiro vividly recalls the song's writing process. He tells The Straits Times it first kicked off in late 1985, at the now defunct B&J Recording Studios near Ayer Rajah which he owned with radio personality Brian Richmond. "As Hugh Harrison was writing the song, I was sitting right next to him," says the 60-year-old. "He is a lyricist and melodicist, and so I was there ... » Learn More about Count On Me, Singapore saga: Jeremy Monteiro was present when song was written in recording studio

Rachel Alejandro Singer-actress Rachel Alejandro said that, even back when the pandemic was just starting, she has already come to terms with the fact that she would be jobless for at least two whole years. This was because her dad, 1970s pop star Hajji Alejandro, had already warned her about it, Rachel told Inquirer Entertainment in a recent Zoom chat. “He is actually the most positive person I know. I think that’s the reason he still looks so young (at 66). He is the person to look to when it comes to being calm and logical, and being rational. He told me right from the get-go, ‘Ate, dalawang taon ito. Dalawang taon tayong walang trabaho.’ I said, ‘What?’ and then cried so hard!” A year later into the pandemic, Rachel, who is now based in New York with her journalist husband Carlos Santamaria, said she remains hopeful. In fact, she recently recorded and released a new single, titled “Takipsilim.” She was also supposed work on the musical “Song of the Fireflies” with ... » Learn More about Rachel Alejandro finds ‘perfect song’ —a new anthem for romantics

Carly Simon sings “Nobody Does It Better.” Image: screenshot from official video via YouTube/Carly Simon LONDON — American songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, famed for the James Bond theme “Nobody Does It Better,” has become the latest artist to sell her catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Fund, as a surge in streaming makes up for concert earnings lost to the pandemic. London-listed Hipgnosis did not disclose the size of the deal in its announcement on Thursday, although it has said the year had got off to its “strongest start ever.” COVID-19 has prompted musicians to monetize their older work by selling tracks and albums as the global health crisis has all but shut down live concerts. “This is one of the most important deals we have ever made,” Hipgnosis Songs founder Merck Mercuriadis said in a statement on its latest deal. Carole Bayer Sager has written and produced songs for a host of artists, from Michael Jackson and Barbra Streisand to Ray Charles and Whitney Houston, winning an ... » Learn More about Nobody streams it better?

Days after a tussle over who owns the copyright to the lyrics and music of Count On Me, Singapore, Joey Mendoza has withdrawn his claim over the song. The Indian composer earlier claimed that he wrote We Can Achieve in 1983 — three years before the tune became Singapore's National Day song — when videos of students in India singing it recently surfaced on social media. The two songs are virtually identical except for instances of "Singapore" being swopped for "India" or "Mother India" in the lyrics. Mendoza sold the copyright of We Can Achieve to Pauline India in 1999 which recorded the song and distributed it. The book and record store has since apologised and said it was not aware that the song had been substantially copied from Count On Me, Singapore. In a Facebook post on Sunday (March 21), the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) said that checks conducted in India found no evidence or records of Mendoza having any rights to We Can Achieve from 1983 or later. ... » Learn More about Indian composer withdraws claim over Count On Me, Singapore after MCCY probe

SINGAPORE: An Indian composer who said he wrote the song We Can Achieve – which is nearly identical to national song Count on Me, Singapore – has withdrawn his claims and apologised for the “confusion caused”, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) said on Sunday (Mar 21). Mr Joseph Mendoza earlier claimed that he composed We Can Achieve in 1983, three years before the creation of Count on Me, Singapore, after footage of a performance of the former went viral. The lyrics of We Can Achieve are the same as Count on Me, Singapore, apart from the substitution of “India” or “Mother India” for “Singapore” and a minor difference in one of the verses. Mr Mendoza, who goes by the name Joey Mendoza, claimed that evidence to back up his claims, such as cassettes and written documents, was destroyed in floods in Mumbai in 2005. The Singapore Government holds the copyright to the music and lyrics of Count on Me, Singapore, which was composed by Canadian Hugh Harrison and ... » Learn More about Indian composer withdraws claims to Count on Me, Singapore, apologises for ‘confusion caused’

Sunday hikers watch the lava flowing from the erupting Fagradalsfjall volcano. FAGRADALSFJALL, Iceland: Thousands of curious onlookers have flocked to an erupting volcano in Iceland to marvel at the hypnotic display of glowing red lava, the bravest of them grilling hot dogs and marshmallows over the smoldering embers. The eruption of a fissure near Mount Fagradalsfjall, which began late Friday, was the first in the same volcanic system in about 900 years. The volcano is located only about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Reykjavik and can be reached after a 90-minute hike from the nearest road. "It's absolutely breathtaking," says Ulvar Kari Johannsson, a 21-year-old engineer who spent his Sunday visiting the scene. "It smells pretty bad. For me what was surprising was the colours of the orange: much, much deeper than what one would expect," he tells AFP. The incandescent lava bubbles and spurts from a small cone in the Geldingadalur valley, piling up in the basin ... » Learn More about Thousands flock to Iceland’s erupting volcano

Indonesians are up in arms over a viral video on YouTube that insults the country’s national anthem – one that was purportedly posted by a Malaysian user, underlining the love-hate relationship between the two Southeast Asian nations. Tempers flared when the video, entitled Indonesia Raya Instrumental (Parody + Lyrics), in the Malay dialect of the language both countries share, went viral over the weekend. It was originally posted two weeks ago by an account named “MY Asean”, which used a Malaysian flag as its profile picture. The video twisted the lyrics of Indonesia’s national anthem, for example from “Indonesia my motherland” to “Indonesia my misfortune”. Another verse contained a reference wishing ill upon Indonesian President Joko Widodo, while there was also an offensive pun on the name of the country’s founding father, Sukarno, who in the 1960s declared a Ganyang Malaysia , or ''Crush Malaysia'', campaign following the country’s formation. It also changed Indonesia’s ... » Learn More about Indonesian tempers flare at Malaysia over YouTube parody of national anthem
