  • Vitas has a phenomenal vocal range.

    Catchy tunes and a variety of styles. But this video, as catchy as the tune is, is just… bonkers. The outfit is … something, the technique he uses while singing is … yeah. It’s that weird.

    Vitas 7th Element 2002

    And this one I’m not ashamed to share… and is the one that brought him to my attention (especially when it gets to the hook) years back when it was making the rounds.

    The man with his crazy voice

    • That first one is definitely something, but I appreciate the glitter sperm vibe lmao

    • 7th Element goes so hard

      • It's a shame Vitas kinda seems embarrassed by it. There's a video where he performed it a few years ago, and he's really low energy about it, lip syncing to a recording of it.

        I supposed he's more into the traditional ballads he sings.

    • I fucking love me some Vitas.

      It's a shame he kinda gets memed on because of the goofiness of 7th element. The song itself is great with a catchy, kinda relaxing tune. But the stage performance is pretty interesting too. The costumes and the puppet like motions of the background dancers is really wild.

  • Released literally this week: On-lyne "Party of your lifetime". It's from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it's basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It's like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I've been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P

    • Haha, there's no help. That's fantastic, I'm hit right in the boy band nostalgia! It's kinda hard to believe sometimes how good video game music has gotten.

      • Thing is, I want really a fan of boybands back then, so I have no idea why it hit me so hard now - I didn't hate them, but I preferred other things. This song though, welp, hook, line and sinker. I even love the silly wink-wink-nodge-nudge lines like "boys are in sync" - I'm literally listening to the song as I write this, but the way :D

  • Some not-so-memed eurobeat like Wonderland, Supermaio and Go Godzilla Go, and power metal like Go Go Power Ranger and my new favorites Judgement Day and Ashes of the Dawn by DragonForce, and Would You Be So Kind and Absolutely Smitten by Dodie, and the whole album of Everlasting Summer by Seycara

    Yes i'm a very quiet person irl so some of the song is like completely opposite of me.

  • "I Got a Feeling" by Neva Denova. It's not a famous band or song, but its so incredibly sad and angry and nihilistic and there's nothing else that comes close. When I'm feeling really shitty though, it kind of cheers me up. It has this long sing-along outro, "The world's a shitty place, and I can't wait to die." But after repeating this over and over the song ends and someone in the background says affectionately, "I'm just kidding world, you know I love you." I've struggled with intrusive negative thoughts for most of my life, and there is something cathartic about having my internal pain externalized in song-form, and that final line is like a voice I've had to develop that fights against all the negativity, to like survive the worst of the blackest depressions. Except instead of taking no small amount of energy to consciously or automatically summon that voice, it comes easy; it's right on the recording, and it plays every time.

    I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed to tell people about the song, but I do think people would worry about me if they knew I listened to it when at my worst. But it really makes me feel like, "well at least I'm not that depressed and nihilistic," and it helps.
