超個性派アーティスト
日本でもブレイクになってほしい!ニューヨーク出身20歳の女性シンガー。
メルヘン系のファッションに、どこかトゲのある曲など、今まで海外アーティストでは見られなっかた女性シンガー。
個性的でちょっぴりレトロチックのかわいいファッションに、(髪型は頭半分を色分けしている)ヘアメイク!!
ほとんどがゴールドとブラックの2色。コンサートでは他の色を使うことが時々あり。
半分はブラックで片方はレインボーなどを使っている時があり。とっても個性的なメラニー・マルチネス。
まるで歌詞を絵本のように表現するのは、子供時代のエピソードやイメージを元に作っています。
思春期ならではの自我や恋愛に関する悩みが、一つに綴りあわされた曲。
ポップでそしてキュート、それでいてダークな影のある世界観が、詰まっているメラニーの数々の楽曲。
曲作りを行う際メラニーは「子供時代」の物事をリストに書き出し、そこに「自分の現在の状況を結び付けていったの」と語ります。
「THE VOICE」(ザ・ヴォイス)
オーディション番組「THE VOICE」(ザ・ヴォイス)に出演し、それがきっかけでレコード事務所と契約して待望のデビュー。
ご存知でしょうかこの番組「THE VOICE」を。「ゴットタレントやXファクター」なら知っているけど「THE VOICE」までは?
それじゃその「ザ・ヴォイス」とは?名前の通り声だけで判断するオーディション番組です。
出場者がステージに上がって歌を審査してもらいます。そしてそれをジャッジする審査員が4人。
その審査員は、現役バリバリのアーティスト。たとえばマルーン5のヴォーカル、アダム・レヴィーン、ジェシイ・ジェイ、クリスティーナ・アレギラなどが審査をします。
その審査の仕方がユニークで、審査員全員が後ろを向いていて容姿は全く分からず。
声だけで審査するオーディション。気に入れば自分の前にあるブザーを押すと、座っていた回転いすが回転。
そして歌っている出場者と、初のご対面となります。
1人でも審査員がブザーを押したらそこで合格となります。
それから選んでもらった審査員(複数いたら)その中から自分の好きなアーティスを選んで、最終までの歌のプロデュースを、してもらい優勝を目指します。
メラニーが選んだのはマルーン5のアダム・レヴィーン。チーム・アダムとしてこれから活動開始。
まあ何となく独特の持っている雰囲気が似ているような感じがする2人。もちろんメラニーの髪はその時から2色のカラー(ゴール/ブラック)です。
優勝は逃したものの、ファイナルまでいったメラニー。
そのユニークなヘアースタイルとハスキーヴォイスが魅力。メディアが注目するのは当然でしょうね!!
ベビードール姿のコンサートは、なかなか見れないシーン。横顔がとってもキュートで可愛すぎるシーンが多く見れるライブです。
代表作の自分「CRY Baby(泣き虫赤ちゃん)」を熱唱するメラニーのlive。
You take things so hard and then you fall apart
You try to explain, but before you can start
Those cry baby tears come out of the dark [Pre-Chorus] Someone’s turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes
You pour it out where everyone can see
Your heart’s too big for your body, it’s why it won’t fit inside
You pour it out where everyone can see [Chorus] They call you cry baby, cry baby
But you don’t fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears
Cry baby, cry baby
‘Cause you don’t fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You’ll just let them drown [Post-Chorus] You’ll just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby [Verse 2] You’re all on your own and you lost all your friends
You told yourself that it’s not you, it’s them
You’re one of a kind and no one understands
But those cry baby tears keep coming back again [Pre-Chorus] Someone’s turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes
You pour it out where everyone can see
Your heart’s too big for your body, it’s why it won’t fit inside
You pour it out where everyone can see [Chorus] They call you cry baby, cry baby
But you don’t fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears
Cry baby, cry baby
‘Cause you don’t fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You’ll just let them drown [Post-Chorus] Cry baby, cry baby
You’ll just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You’ll just let them drown [Bridge] I look at you and I see myself
I know you better than anyone else
I have the same faucet in my eyes
So your tears are mine [Chorus] They call me cry baby, cry baby
But I don’t fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
I laugh through my tears
Cry baby, cry baby
‘Cause I don’t fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
I just let them drown [Outro] Cry baby, cry baby
I just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You’ll just let them drown
They call you cry baby, cry baby
I just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You’ll just let them drown
悲しい女の子の塩辛い涙が頬の下を流れ出る。彼女の心は彼女の体よりも大きい。そして名前は「泣き虫赤ちゃん(CRY BaBy )」。
メラニーは彼女の子供時代についてこの曲を書いています。
「泣き虫赤ちゃん」は架空のキャラクターで、後ろにある絵がメラニーの人生。
この曲は非常に敏感で、感情的になっていることを知らせてくれる「泣き虫赤ちゃん」
涙が部屋中一杯になるほど泣き続けます。
そしてそれが Cry Baby(クライベイビー)
Pacify Her
パシファイ・ハー (彼女を落ち着かせる)三角関係をメラニー流に表現した歌詞。
動画登場から2日でその再生数はなんと300万再生オーバーの「パシファイ・ハー 」。
ハスキーボイスから高音の声をふり絞って歌う姿が、とってもキュートなメラニー。
何度聞いても良い曲で、アルバムの中ではこの曲が一番好きです。Cry Babyと同じステージで歌うメラニー。
Tired, Blue boy walks my way
Holding a girl’s hand
That basic bitch leaves finally
Now I can take her man
Someone told me stay away
From things that aren’t yours
But was he yours if he wanted me so bad?
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
I can’t stand her whining
Where’s her Binky now?
And loving her seems tiring
So boy, just love me down, down, down
Someone told me stay away
From things that aren’t yours
But was he yours if he wanted me so bad?
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She’s getting on my nerves
You don’t love her
Stop lying with those words
残念なパーティー。何が残念かというと招待状を送ったのに、送った招待状が消えてしまった。
普通では考えられないアイデア、妄想?
Why’d I put my heart on every cursive letter?
Tell me why the hell no one is here
Tell me what to do to make it all feel better [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s a cruel joke on me
Whatever, whatever
Just means there’s way more cake for me
Forever, forever [Chorus] It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames [Verse 2] Maybe if I knew all of them well
I wouldn’t have been trapped inside this hell that holds me
Maybe if I casted out a spell
Or told them decorations were in pastel ribbons [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s a cruel joke on me
Whatever, whatever
Just means there’s way more cake for me
Forever, forever [Chorus] It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames [Bridge] I’m laughin’, I’m cryin’
It feels like I’m dyin’
I’m laughin’, I’m cryin’
It feels like I’m dyin’
I’m laughin’, I’m cryin’
It feels like I’m dyin’
I’m dyin’, I’m dyin’ [Interlude] It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to (If I want to, If I want to)
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to [Scream] [Chorus] It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry)
I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place
I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames [Outro] It’s my party, it’s-it’s my party
It’s my party, it’s-it’s my party
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry)

Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh
Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh
Buh-buh-buh-buh, buh-buh-buh
Buh-buh-buh-buh [Verse 1] Always aiming paper airplanes at me when you’re around
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
You can crush my candy cane but you’ll never catch me cry
If you dangle that diploma and I dead, you don’t be surprised [Pre-Chorus] I know my ABC’s, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think you’re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC’s, alphabet boy [Chorus] I’m not a little kid now, watch me get big now
Spell my name on a fridge now, with all your alphabet toys
You won the spelling bee now, but are you smarter than me now?
You’re the prince of the playground, little alphabet boy [Refrain] Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh
Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh
Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh
Buh-buh-buh-buh, buh-buh-buh
Buh-buh-buh-buh [Verse 2] Apples aren’t always appropriate apologies
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins
But you’re not my daddy and I’m not your dolly
And your dictionary’s destroyed [Pre-Chorus] I know my ABC’s, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think you’re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC’s, alphabet boy [Chorus] I’m not a little kid now, watch me get big now
Spell my name on a fridge now, with all your alphabet toys
You won the spelling bee now, but are you smarter than me now?
You’re the prince of the playground, little alphabet boy [Bridge] Alphabet boy, oh, alphabet boy
Alphabet boy, alphabet boy
My alphabet boy, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Chorus] I’m not a little kid now, watch me get big now
Spell my name on a fridge now, with all your alphabet toys
You won the spelling bee now, but are you smarter than me now?
You’re the prince of the playground, little alphabet boy [Outro] (Ah-ah-ah, buh-buh-buh-buh)
(Ah-ah-ah, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh)
Alphabet boy
(Ah-ah-ah, buh-buh-buh-buh)
Oh, yeah
(Buh-buh-buh-buh, buh-buh-buh)
(Buh-buh-buh-buh)
Alphabet boy
(Ah-ah-ah, buh-buh-buh-buh)
Alphabet boy
(Ah-ah-ah, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh)
(Ah ah ah, buh-buh-buh-buh)
(Buh-buh-buh-buh, buh-buh-buh)
(Buh-buh-buh-buh)
mad hatter(変人)
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Poppin’, poppin’ balloons with guns
Getting high off helium
We paint white roses red
Each shade from a different person’s head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with the blue caterpillar [Pre-Chorus] I’m peeling the skin off my face
‘Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane [Chorus] I’m nuts, baby, I’m mad
The craziest friend that you’ve ever had
You think I’m psycho, you think I’m gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I’m off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed
So what if I’m crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are [Verse 2] Where is my prescription?
Doctor, doctor, please listen
My brain is scattered
You can be Alice, I’ll be the Mad Hatter [Pre-Chorus] I’m peeling the skin off my face
‘Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane [Chorus] I’m nuts, baby, I’m mad
The craziest friend that you’ve ever had
You think I’m psycho, you think I’m gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I’m off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed
So what if I’m crazy? The best people are [Bridge] You think I’m crazy, you think I’m gone
So what if I’m crazy? All the best people are
And I think you’re crazy too, I know you’re gone
It’s probably the reason that we get along [Chorus] I’m nuts, baby, I’m mad
The craziest friend that you’ve ever had
You think I’m psycho, you think I’m gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I’m off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed
So what if I’m crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are
ミセスポテト・ヘッド ライブ
“potato-head” もネイティブがよく使う表現で、意味は「バカなヤツ」「アホ」という意味で使われることが多いです。
If you weren’t born with it
You can buy a couple ornaments
Just be sure to read the warning, kids
‘Cause pretty soon you’ll be bored of it
(Ha, ha)
Sexual
Hey girl, if you wanna feel sexual
You can always call up a professional
They stick pins in you like a vegetable
(Ha, ha)
Kids forever, kids forever
Baby soft skin turns into leather
Don’t be dramatic, it’s only some plastic
No one will love you if you’re unattractive
Oh, Mrs. Potato Head, tell me
Is it true that pain is beauty?
Does a new face come with a warranty?
Will a pretty face make it better?
Oh, Mr. Potato Head, tell me
How did you afford her surgery?
Do you swear you’ll stay forever?
Even if her face don’t stay together
(Even if her face don’t stay together)
If you want a little more confidence
Potatoes turn to french fries, yeah, it’s common sense
All you need’s a couple more condiments
And a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments
(Ha, ha)
It’s such a waste
When little girls grow into their mothers face
But little girls are learning how to cut and paste
And pucker up their lips until they suffocate
(Ha, ha)
Kids forever, kids forever
Baby soft skin turns into leather
Don’t be dramatic, it’s only some plastic
No one will love you if you’re unattractive
Oh, Mrs. Potato Head, tell me
Is it true that pain is beauty?
Does a new face come with a warranty?
Will a pretty face make it better?
Oh, Mr. Potato Head, tell me
How did you afford her surgery?
Do you swear you’ll stay forever?
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together
Oh, Mrs. Potato Head, tell me
Is it true that pain is beauty?
Does a new face come with a warranty?
Will a pretty face make it better?
Oh, Mr. Potato Head, tell me
How did you afford her surgery?
Do you swear you’ll stay forever?
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together
Stay forever, stay forever
Even if her face don’t stay together

These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart [Verse 1] Step one
You must accept that I’m a little out my mind
Step two
This is a waste if you can’t walk me down the finish line
Step three
Give me passion, don’t make fun of my fashion
Step four
Give me more, give me more, more [Pre-Chorus] If you can’t handle a heart like mine
Don’t waste your time with me
If you’re not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can’t handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
‘Til you can’t handle it no more, no more
Go home [Chorus] Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart [Post-Chorus] High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you’re not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you’re not my type [Verse 2] Step five
You can’t be scared to show me off and hold my hand
Step six
If you can’t put in work, I don’t know what you think this fucking is
Step seven, this one goes to eleven
If you cheat, you will die, die [Pre-Chorus] If you can’t handle a heart like mine
Don’t waste your time with me
If you’re not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can’t handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
‘Til you can’t handle it no more, no more
Go home [Chorus] Can we just be honest?

If you’re not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you’re not my type [Bridge] Could you hold me through the night?
Put your lips all over my
Salty face when I start cryin’
Could you be my first time?
Eat me up like apple pie
Make me not wanna die
Love me rough and let me fly
Get me up, yeah, get me high
Tie me down, don’t leave my side
Don’t be a waste of my time [Chorus] Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart [Post-Chorus] High school sweethearts, line up
