Beyonce, Ronan and Pink: What story could their lyrics be telling us?









IS BEYONCE SETTING HERSELF UP FOR ANOTHER FALL?

Hurt by boy A:

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone
(If I were a Boy, October 2008)

Over boy A. Boy B on the scene a€ˇ° enjoying rubbing boy B in the face of boy A:

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
(Put a Ring on it, November 2008)

Building up boy B, perhaps a little too much:

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away
(Halo, February 2009)



Ronan Keating

RONAN KEATING HAS LEARNT SOME LESSONS IN LOVE:

‘This lovina€? game is easy’:

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There’s a truth
In your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You’ll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
(When You Say Nothing at All, April 2000)

‘Uh oh, therea€?s more to this love thing than I thought’:

We found love, oh
So don’t fight it
Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it
I need you, ooh
So stop hiding
Our love is a mystery
Girl, let’s get inside it
(Life Is A Rollercoaster, July 2000)

‘Shit ,shea€?s bloody mental’:

Ia€?m delirious
Are you serious?
What goes on in your head?
Ia€?m just curious
Cosa€? Ia€?m hanging here
Got me dangling here
Think your love, oh your love has got off my head

Ita€?s unbelievably hard to love you
But I love you anyway
Ia€?ve been trying too hard not to love you
But I love you anyway
(Love you anyway, Boyzone, September 2008)



Pink

PINK HAS THE LAST LAUGH IN HER CHEMICAL RELATIONSHIP

‘I am the undisputed party queen’:

I’m coming up so you better get this party started
I’m coming up so you better get this party started
Get this party started,
on a saturday night,
everybody’s waiting for me to arrive



Sending out the message to all of my friends
we’ll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lots of style with my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
(Get the Party Started, November 2001)

‘Hmm a€ˇ° maybe there are side affects’:

Ia€?m lyin here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
Ia€?m crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
(Just like a Pill, September 2002)

‘I dona€?t need drugs to have a good time a€ˇ° Ia€?m a€?Pinka€?!’

So,
So what I’m still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t need you
And guess what
I’m havin more fun
And now that were done
I’m gonna show you tonight
I’m alright
I’m just fine
And you’re a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t want you tonight
(So What, August 2008)

    Beyonce's not exactly flying the flag for feminism with her lyrics is she? It's as if she's saying 'Boys will be boys, just long as I get a ring on my finger.'

    And Ronan seems to prefer a woman who keeps her opinions to herself;)
