#OshiNoKo #IDOL #LeeandLie
I'm honestly surprised how time flies so fast that we clearly remembered Oshi no Ko's opening, that track slaps so hard even AmaLee's is even at that level as well, her singing is too perfect.
I actually started watching Oshi no Ko yesterday. I'm loving it so far. What a coincidence that AmaLee released her cover today.
Why do I find you everywhere? Imma subscribe because of that.
nice pfp
Think i recognize this pfp from gogo's
Something about the english version makes it worse. I don't want to know the words so I prefer the jap one, haha.
I love the range she has. She can go from a really upbeat higher pitched song to a really serious low pitched song. She's just so talented. I'm genuinely impressed
“Upbeat”? Were you not paying attention to the lyrics? The whole song is serious!
Maybe your bar is just really low. It's pretty standard, expected even, for a professional singer to have a "high range."
Yeah you two have very good points. I guess my bar might just be low due to the fact that I listened to another singer do covers of some anime songs and their range isn't as good as hers is. And yeah I realize the song lyrics aren't upbeat, lol I just meant the way the music sounds not the lyrics.
I agree, listening to this vs her cover of Guren no Yumia or Cattaonia than One Hell of a Team and you might be surprised it's all the same artist.
@@KingCasual1986 A song can be serious while sounding upbeat. In fact that's pretty common. There's a reason there's the meme of ~jamming to upbeat jpop song when you don't know the lyrics in English~ to ~sobbing to upbeat jpop song after learning what the lyrics mean~ The tone of how you're singing and what the lyrics mean can be completely different. Musically this is an upbeat song, subject wise it's serious.
This is so skilled. The fact that you can re-write a whole song with the lyrics given and have it match with the story is pure artistry. Amazing job, AmaLee!
No.. she used the same lyrics as Yoasobi’s official English version
@@Animehub997no, the lyrics aren't the same, albeit they are very close tho
@@Animehub997 No, the official one barely make sense in English at many parts.
@@Animehub997Nope, those work, but are broken and the rhyme scheme doesn't fit for many parts.
Amalee has managed to fix those whilst probably taking inspiration from the original lines given :D
@@Animehub997 she didn't, her lyrics make more sense to the story
Amalee is just so good at conveying Hoshino Ai's narrative voice, that charismatic unabashed confidence that almost borders on aggressiveness is written so well into the lyrics!!
And also the way that there is this kind of wavering vulnerability in the softer tonal shifts as if it walks the line between Ai's ingrained professionalism and expressing her feelings in words is just GREAT!! I havent seen any other lyrics before that have really analysed the character behaviour soo well :DDD
Well said
aw thank you!!
@@LeeandLie HIIII I HAVE LEARNED SO MANY OF YOUR SONG YOUR VOICE IS SOO PRETTYYY :D
@@LeeandLieevery eye on u٫ u captivate the room
@@LeeandLieyou absolutely killed it, keep it up! 💙
Amalee really just went a bit quiet for 4 months and then decided to release such a banger cover... Ahhhh I really can't get enough of her covers to listen to, they're all so good
It never gets old
Bet she was doing VA work; she's been doing that quite a bit these days, as I recall.
that or/and streaming@@KainYusanagi
She also has been streaming on twitch
@@KainYusanagi Makes sense, she is indeed Hayasaka's VA after all
How AmaLee sung the word "Idol" each time sends chills through me. Wow she's so talented.
Like lost in thoughts all alone, it sounds like it was made for her
for real. its strangely captivating
I especially love the one at 2:50 - maybe it’s just me, but it feels like it has an extra “oomph” to it compared to the others /pos
@@deerkotaYEEEES!! The way she delivers “I’m such a Greedy Idol!!!” Just gets me so hype every time!!!
Makes me want to do the wotagai (light stick dance).
LET'S GOOOOOOOO. YOU KILLED THIS!!
Thank you, Kyo!!! 🥹🥹💗
yeap,
it's been 2 week ,
i can feel this song in my mind
Printer-kun!!!!! 100% agree
obviously praising moon sama, kyo. obviously
HIII
The raw emotion of the line "I'm such a greedy idol" gives me chills every time.
Same, dude.
Amale's return
AmaLee
@@wiro4246same
We all been waiting
She did indeed drop a banger
Amalee song voice is amazing this my favorite song
It's very interesting looking for the differences between the official english lyrics and this version.
You'll note Amalee has taken a lot of liberties, but in my opinion it makes the song flow so much better than the official translation.
she is good with lyrics in what ive seen
I really enjoy making a song my own here and there while also staying true to the original tone/meaning of the lyrics!
@@LeeandLie you did good
I thought the same. The flow she created here makes it look like the song was originally written in English, and not a translation
@@LeeandLie In college I asked my marching band director what makes a great arrangement or cover, he said it must be your own, while also maintaining the spirit of the original. You capture that lesson perfectly here!
I know that Yaosobi did an English version already but this is an English cover by a native speaker and musical talent in her own right, AmaLee, and while the translation may be more of a gloss, it captures the SPIRIT of the original even better....the English lyrics here capture it more precisely.
Yeah the flow of the original english version sounds weird lol
To be honest... This is not the only English cover I heard for this song. Will Stetson made one as well. Nonetheless, well made.
@@gravoschaoshart5269That was not to do with anything but fair. Also there are massive differences between this and wills version. Like massively and this is closer to the original and the sense of the original than wills is to be fair though both are great singers
@@peppasfrontface_im pretty sure it was supposed to sound IDENTICAL to the Japanese version
Yeah. I also feel the original english version sound weird. I like this version more. Goodjob AmaLee
*Lyrics:*
With a smile wreaking havoc on the media
Makes you wanna know her secret, so mysterious
Hasn’t got a flaw, she is an expert in that area
She’s a master of a liar, none to rival her
Perfect, genius, Idol-sama
"What did you eat today?"
"What book is on your brain?"
"When you just wanna have some fun, what place is your escape?"
I haven’t ate a thing
It’s a secret, no telling
She dodges every question, like a lion in the ring
She’s so composed, and through it all she glows
And all the lies she weaves, brilliantly, are sweet just like honey
Confusing (why, why, why)
Another lie (lie, lie)
"So tell me what’s your type, girl or guy?"
"Please just answer me!"
Don’t know what it’s like to fall in love at all
Couldn’t guess, or express
If that feeling I recall
Is it all a lie?
I guess I’ll never know
But I’ll sing my song again
And make them fall heels over head, and then
They’ll love me 'til the end
Every eye on you, you captivate the room
You're a flawless star, the most ultimate idol
Shooting by, the brightest in the sky
You're a cosmic light, reborn here tonight
Ah, you smile heavenly
Your words of love so sweet
They captivate so easily
It’s almost like a dream
That glimmer in your eyes
Conceals the lies and love that may be fake
But it’s now brought to life
Yeah, yeah
We all know she is a special girl
We’re the extras in her movie, as she runs the world
Yeah, she’s such a star
We are the bottom feeders, she’s the pearl
She’s our leading little lady,
Shit I think I'm _gonna be sick_
_Screw this chick_
_Would you be fine with her shoes to lick?_
_But that’s just it, acting like she’s the shit,_
_Would you not be jealous of it?_
_But it’s all a lie_
_All just a trick of the light_
_I can’t accept this is right_
_I won’t lay down and die,_
_And let you steal what is rightfully mine_
Every heart is hers, the worship she deserves
She’s a flawless star, the most ultimate idol
Watch her shine, she’s perfect by design
An iconic light, reborn here tonight
Ya show no weakness, never let ‘em see it-see it
If you’re less than perfect, best to keep it secret
Be the one and only
Just believe-lieve it
That’s the purest love you’ll ever find
With a smile setting fire to the media
Lies a secret I will keep 'cause I’m no amateur
“I’m in love with you”
My career is built on such a lie
It’s the only way I know to show my love in life
Running down my face, my sweat a clear blue, Aqua
Ruby eyes that do disguise like secrets, keep ‘em hushed
I sing and I'm dancing for the masses, call me Maria
Yes! Lying really is the greatest kind of love
I have no idea what love is even like
Is it something you give, or is it something you find?
All the lies I tell, I hope that they come true
May they find their own light,
And be brought to life
I pray they will thrive
So gimme your applause, 'cause I will have it all
No it’s not enough, I’m such a greedy idol
How I wish to tell you from my lips
That you have my love, I promise you this
And so, I’ll lie again but know
I’m praying there's a way
They hold a little hope
That they will come true someday
And I’m sorry, it’s not fine
That I couldn’t say the things I meant to you
But it's now finally time
Ah, on the count of two
It’s no longer a lie
Let me say that it’s true, I love you
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Ty
Nice!
Thanks
Thank you so much!! I was just praying for this comment!!
her lyrics are so freaking good (and beautiful like.. 2:33..) and they works so well with her voice, the rap part on the second part is so raw but damn that's what we love, this is such an amazing cover
Thank you !!
Do the outro song too! I'm obsessed with the outro. That scene with all the memories of his mom in the background, then that screen goes black as he stands up just hits me a certain way.
Let's not rush her into it.
@@CrimsonCharanyeah but it does sound like a good suggestion
@@ItsukiKoizumi Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying it's better to take time with stuff like this.
Yes
I'd love to hear it if she ever gets around to it.
I feel like I'm in the mino9rty that actually prefers Mephisto to Idol
“We’re the bottom feeders she’s the pearl” is one of the best lines I’ve ever heard in a song like this. You’re an amazing singer and I love your music :)
AmaLee's english covers are just god tier. On top of how good her voice is, the fact that she can make the lyrics match the melody of the original, do it in such a way that makes sense in english and is just as expressive, still has rhymes, aaaand still capture the meaning of the original, I really can't help but be in awe with her level of translation. Seriously, try to listen to a piano cover while reading the lyrics of AmaLee's cover. IT MATCHES AS IF THE SONG WAS ORIGINALLY IN ENGLISH!!
These lyrics are AMAZING, you captured the song SO perfectly I was stunned by the rap section especially !! And your vocals never miss AAAA, this is just so fire all around 😭❤🔥❤🔥
Sorry to pop ur castle but yaosobi have english version too so no translation is needed
@@redlotus1353 I know?? the official English version is pretty flawed compared to the original in its lyrical setting and a lot of other things though :) capturing the exact same feeling in a new language is a skill that takes practice and im complimenting her work for this song .
@@redlotus1353 Wydm no translation is needed? When trying to match the song with the beat/rhythm it needs to work or at least give a similar vibe. Words can be interpreted in other ways and more specific way of calling things with terms that CAN mean the same but can give a different vibe/meaning to it when said in a certain way. Its like if American jokes were translated to Japanese, you think Japanese people would understand the joke from American humor just because it was translated the SAME EXACT way? No it doesn't. That's why she tweaked the lyrics for more so of her style but still giving the song the IDOL point of the feeling when you listen to the Japanese one. A good example of trying to Translate Japanese to English but forn those that are Western English speakers saying the words which she sings "acting like she's the shit" which if you were to translate this back to Japanese this would not translate well if its WORD for WORD from their understanding.
@@EnhancedTrashBin I think redlotus was meaning that Yoasobi, who sung the original (Japanese lyrics) song also released her own English version of the song, which is why Amalee wouldn't have needed to translate the song as there were official English lyrics already available. But emerakii pointed out why this wasn't entirely true.
Through many English covers, this is definitely somewhere at the top in regards for lyrics. I like the occasional direct usage of the official English lyrics, like with _"I'm in love with you", my career is built on such a lie._ Great cover as usual.
The official English lyrics suck and it’s undeniable. However, that’s because it focuses on sounding the most like the Japanese version and it works. But honestly? I like this better
I think this is my second favorite English one, the Will Stetson is my favorite
@@BananaRamaa Personally I wouldn't say the official ones suck, but you can definitely tell they're made by people who aren't super well-versed in English grammar (specifically with syllables). I have noticed Japanese people often disregard syllables and stresses in their music a lot, where the same word can be pronounced differently or they add and remove syllables from words to be able to fit them neatly in their songs (they also rarely do rhymes, fun fact).
This seemingly works fine for Japanese, but since English is a bit more strict with syllable stresses and how things are "meant" to be pronounced, it can often sound unnatural if you only base a song's lyrics around syllables alone, with no regard for stress. I would actually say they did a decent job with it, but there were definitely many parts where they didn't. Ikura's _pronunciation_ of words was largely on point though.
Also yes, their attempts to make the translated words sound phonetically similar to the original Japanese lyrics probably did make it harder to make the English sound natural, as cool of a concept as it was for them to do that.
I feel like this AmaLee cover essentially just took the official English lyrics and changed them up enough to make it all sound more natural, therefore leaving in those certain parts where the syllable stresses sounded natural enough. Of course some personal spins were put here and there too.
@@barryallen2240Agreed. The lyrics in his version are simply unmatched. Especially the “I love you too/two” at the end. So good. The official English version really pales in comparison imo. Amalee’s is def the best female English cover I’ve heard though. As expected of such a English cover legend
@@wutduck1763 I can definitely agree with your statement
1:28 ok adding the curses in this part were genius
More smooth than the official transition, while keeping the emotional weight and power. I got goosebumps. Simply bravo.
The Queen of cover herself has returned, Amalee is just so talented it blows my mind how every single cover by her is a BOP !
(1k?!!!!Mommmmm I’m famoussssss 😂)
leaves the crown of scuff and switches it to a crown of covers.
@@icarue993 Since day 1 she got ✨the crown of covers✨
So beautiful
Nah she really just went full delusional and said "hurr durr I relate to this song"
Omg agreed I just love the fact that every song makes me want to dance to all high heavens
This was an absolute banger!! Even when it just premiered, I already knew that it was gonna be my favorite of all your anime covers as I can tell you put a lot of amazing vocals in this cover from what I've heard in that sneak peek we had a few weeks ago on twitter.
You're so talented, always bring to our faces and inspire us never let fear hold you back from the things we love, which is why you're my favorite song artist! This song will be even more inspiration to be confident with my singing voice as I feel so close to being able to do song covers again. Thank you so much for always being an amazing person and keep bringing smiles to everyone's faces! 🩵
This cover is amazing. A lot of covers on this song are, but this one just stands out. The lyrics are still accurate, but the lines are so unique yet they work so well--- For example, the line: "Like a lion in the ring" is just so unique but it works so well.
I could mention many more, but there are just too many things about this that are just amazing.
Both Amalee and Will Stetson's version are both so awesome. It's honestly so cool there are so many English reinterpretations that stay SO TRUE to the meaning of the original song.
Honestly, I loved the original song Oshi on Ko very much and I still listen to it a lot. And this version... is never less amazing than it. Really, all this waiting was worth it. Great job, AmeLee, you and everyone who helped make this song.
Amalee is back on her singing throne and she is killing it as always! Glad to have you back in your element and an amazing cover as always❤❤❤❤!
Hey dude
If she were to sing this live as an idol...by gods all of us would be doing a choreography with those glowing sticks! Screaming AMA-LEE AMA-LEE
SPOILER WARNING!!! IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED, DO NOT CLICK MORE
"IDOL" is the saddest part of Oshi no Ko for me. The lyrics are just a message from Ai to not only Ruby and Aqua but to all of her fans because she never knew what love was like until seconds before her death. The song is like her life, lying all throughout but then at the end, Ai finally realises what love was and said it truthfully to her kids one last time before she died.
Wheres the spoiler warning... why did you do this to me
SRRY
自分は日本人だけどあなたの歌が本当に好きです！これからも無理せず頑張ってください！！
Such an awesome cover! The “On the count of two, it’s no longer a lie, let me say that it’s true, I love you” line made me ugly cry 😭😭
Fr?
hey im not ashamed to admit it lol it was a very emotional movie and that line really made a lot of sense once it was translated to english@@baconboy486
ME TOO MAN ME TOO, I FEEL SO BAD FOR AI 😢
Am i the only one who thinks AmaLee’s singing is a bit TOO perfect?
Yep. You are.
She is genuinely an singing genius. Idol is a very difficult song to translate. Yoasobi has an English version, but naturally some of the lines may come across as dry opposed to the original because English is not their first language and Japanese is so polar to it. But AmaLee has done a wonderful carrying out a proper English rendition.
Another spectacular cover from our Queen! 2:48 The note she hits at Greedy Idol goes so hard! Ama and the team slammed it out of the park with Oshi no Ko - IDOL, and I will be having it play on loop for the foreseeable future. I can't get enough! 😃💜
This is simply the best Idol cover I've ever heard, hats off to you, it's a real banger!
I'm so freaking obsessed, like genuinely my favorite Ama cover of all time, that's the grip this has on me. It just goes SO well with her singing style and voice. The translation hits so good, those last lines especially.
You did such a fantastic job translating this song into English! No offense to Yoasobi / Ayase, but every word, vowel, and consonant hits just as hard as the original Japanese version!
This is genuinely the best EN cover of Idol I have heard!
Clever lyrics and the delivery of 1:18 - 1:40 gave me literal chills 😆😆
Agreed, I loved the rap part especially couldn't stop listening to it!
Really captures the people on the internet that fall into the idol worship even better than the original Japanese lyrics imo
Bravo! Another work of art, as per the norm with you. It’s a shame they didn’t choose you for Ai’s English VA. Pretty nice creative spins on the official English version.
Amalee is captivating every single person with her voice
She absolutely is
We know lol
Is it just me or each cover of this song just keeps on getting better or what?
THIS WAS SO GOOOOOOOOD!!!
Amalee's rendition of the lyrics and the vocals is spot-on! This songs so rapid-fire it gets crazy! But she knocked it outta the park!!!
The dark part (aka the part where people talk badly of her) is the only time where i heard the english version of the song done with the same energy and vibe. Good job
I love the rap part so much! Favorite part of this entire song. Replayed it like eighty times, it gave me chills. I love your voice!
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the ANIMATION, IT'S GORGEOUS BY THE WAY
I love how the lyrics keep the tone and original message with a different (I’d say better) flow to them, all while the spirit of the song remains perfectly preserved! I love it!
You can tell this this cover was made with such passion and emotion! 👍
Is it normal to find something so high energy so absolutely Haunting? This goes way past translation into one of the best localizations I've ever heard.
How does she hit that crescendo on 'Greedy Idol'?
Sweet as honey to the ears. Your range is insane.
I had to listen to the original English version and the Juby Phonic version I had already for comparison to all three including this one. Ama definitely puts emotion into the singing with hers to really emulate how Ai feels with her idol life and real life up until her last breath; Juby puts some emotion in, but in a way that I believe respects the source material by making it subtle; Yoasobi keeps it the same to sound perfectly identical to the Japanese version as it's not uncommon for the singers to do that, plus it gives room for cover artists to put their own spices into the mix.
The song is still a great song for Oshi No Ko and I can't wait until I can read the third volume on my Fire!
Holy crap the lyrics work so much better in this english version than the official.
Amazing job Amalee ^_^
HEY AMALEE!
I hope you had a fun time at Otakon!
I am so happy you did this song. I’ve been totally obsessed with it, and you sang it perfectly! Sending love to you!
I feel like as the idol generation goes, the English version hits harder and harder ever since the official one was released by yoasobi, this is very nice
As someone who's listening to this song on Spotify while waiting for the video to drop, i can confirm that it is, in fact, the best female cover of this song ever. Amazing lyrics, hits yoasobi's unique tone that has ruined so many covers PERFECTLY, while all the while sounding like Ama.
This just slaps, man. Keep it up, and please release more kaguya sama openings soon.........maybe?
Yeah I agree, this is my favorite english cover so far, i've been waiting for amalee to cover this one bc I knew she would nail it.
hey if you haven't try I suggest you to listen to the French cover of it made by shirayukibananashi it's honestly really good too!!
@@louisonnoname3065 checked it out and it was really nice, the rhymes were really good, as someone who learned a bit of french, I thought it was really nice and impressive
2:42 Interestingly enough, I thought the line where she says “I pray they will thrive” was “I pray they won’t die”. Both lines are really good but I personally like the latter.
This is my favorite translation of this song, your translations are always so good and that's why you are my favorite cover artist!
this slaps, i normally don't like translated songs, but your covers always hit that sweet spot where it preserves the original, but you can still notice your own thing (apart from the different language of course)
When that song was released, one of the first things that came to my mind was "geez I can't wait for Amalee to make a cover of this" AND HELL YEAH BABY SHE DID! I really can't handle how perfect your covers are, all just like the original but also with a light touch of "Amalee". This one is no different, of course. The energy, the lyrics, THE VIDEO. Everything is amazing as always! I love it
feels like yesterday and I didn't lie when notified of new Amalee covers and this MV is so good!!! bless our Anime singing Queen and it fits!!!
Shes about to sing the best cover of this song, and i was waiting so long for it!!!
Confession: been listening to this on repeat for 2 days straight while I'm awake. It's so DAMN catchy!
The fact that they made all that rhyme is insane, peak song writing
I really like the piano in this song, it plays as though it’s a back up singer. It doesn’t just follow Amalee but also sings the song itself in it’s own style. The piano sounds like it’s alive and i believe it adds something special to the parts of the song in which the piano is more prominent. (Sorry if I sound like a nerd lol)
FLAWLESS. You've helped me decide. The OST was the first impression I needed to decide whether to watch this or not. I was already adoring the art style. But I needed one last convincing thing. You brought me that in the best way possible!
You're our idol Ama.
This Oshi No Ko Cover is 🔥. I am going to put this song whenever I am exercising. It’s a great energy song.
First the Raon cover, then the Juby Phonic cover and Will Stetson cover, and now AmaLee cover! Gosh I love this song so much!!
Bro i can't wait
these lyrics are way bette than the original English version
Your cover slaps so much! I am simply in AWE!!!
So, it's been almost 3 weeks, this cover has been stuck in my head...
Don't help me, I'm enjoying it :D
Same😭
Amalee the World's greatest idol
Yea??
I listen to this 12 times a day-
Since it's confirmed that Oshi No Ko and Kaguya-sama LIW are set in the same universe, I can just imagine Hayasaka singing B-Komachi's songs while in karaoke with her friends, at least whenever she's not trying to guilt Miyuki after he turned down her confession. Especially since it's center and Hayasaka both have the name Ai and timeline wise, B-Komachi's peak was near Hayasaka's high school days.
Not to mention that the liar lyrics might resonate with her.
The Aqua and Ruby line gave me chills
Nobody mentioning how both AmaLee and YOASOBI managed to make this song sound so fun even when with context its actually kinda depressing? That's scary and quite impressive.
WOOOOOO GREAT WORK!!!!
I always feel like your alternate versions need big hugs, so here you go! 🤗🤗🤗
It's amazing how far your singing has come. Your range has improved alot since 2012 and it just feels like your confident.
I don't remember ever loving so many versions of the same song.. I seriously just can't get enough. I got goosebumbs by the end of this version too, it's so good
Oh man, this is the best English version of "Idol". AmaLee did not disappoint at all. Very nice, congratulations from Brazil.
I love Oshi no ko this is gonna be so good!!
0:54 is sooo good
I didn't even knew about this song, but OMG this is such a banger ! I love your voice so much
The part at 1:18 hits like a truck

May they find their own light and be brought to life
(I pray they will thrive)
So gimme your applause, cause I will have it all
No it's not enough, I'm such a greedy idol
How I wish to tell you from my lips
That you have my love, I promise you this
And so, I'll lie again but know
I'm praying there's way they hold a little hope
That they will come true someday
And I'm sorry, it's not fine
That I couldn't say the things I meant to you but now it's finally time
Ah, on the count of two
It's no longer a lie, let me say that it's true, I love you
(You're my savior
My true savior
My saving grace)
Idolee is something I've been waiting for since I watched Oshi No Ko and heard the OP. Loved it
“The lies and love that may be fake,but it’s now brought to life” 1:14
The lyrics meaning this hard
OMG IM SO EXCITED, Idol has been stuck in my head for months now and now we get a Amalee cover of it?? YESSSS ❤
Lyrics:
With a smile wreaking havoc on the media
Makes you wanna know her secret,so mysterious
Hasn't got a flaw, she is an expert in that area
She's a master of a liar, none to rival her
Perfect
Genius
Idol-sama
What did you eat today?
What book is on your brain?
When you just wanna have some fun
What place is your escape?
I haven't ate a thing
It's a secret, no telling
She dodges every question
Like a lion in the ring
She's so composed
And through it all she glows
And all the lies
She weaves brilliantly
Are sweet just like honey
Confusing
Why? Why? Why?
Another
Lie, lie, lie
So tell me what's your type
Girl or guy
Please just answer me
Don't know what it's like to fall in love at all
Couldn't guess or express
If that feeling I recall
Is It all a lie
I guess I'll never know
But I'll sing my song again
And make them fall heels over
Head and then
They'll love me til the end
Every eye on you, you captivate the room
You're a flawless star, the most ultimate
Idol
Shooting by, the brightest in the sky
You're a cosmic light, reborn here tonight
Ahh
Your smile heavenly,
Your words of love so sweet,
They captivate so easily
It's almost like a dream
That glimmer in your eyes
Conceals the lies and love that may be fake
But it's now brought to life
Yeah yeah
We all know she is a special girl
We're the extras movies as she runs the world
Yeah, she's such a star we are the bottom feeders she's the pearl
She's our leading little lady shit I think I'm
Gonna be sick
Would you be fine with their shoes to lick
But that's just it, acting like she's the shit
Would you not be jealous of it?
But it's all a lie
All just a trick of the light
I can't accept this is right
I won't lay down and die
And let you steal what is rightfully mine
Every heart is hers, the worship she deserves
She's a flawless star, the most ultimate
Idol
Watch her shine, she's perfect by design
An iconic light, reborn here tonight
Ya show no weakness
Never let 'em see it - see it
If you're less than perfect
Best to keep it secret
Be the one and only!
Just believe - lieve it
That's the purest love you'll ever find
With a smile setting fire to the media
Lies a secret I will keep cause I'm no amateur
"I'm in love with you"
My Career is built on such a lie
It's de only way I know to show my love in life
Running down my face, my sweat a clear blue Aqua
Ruby eyes that do disguise like secrets keep em hushed
I sing and I'm dancing for the masses
Call me maria
Yes, lying really is the greatest kind of love
I have no idea what love is even like
Is it something you give or is it something you find?
All the lies I tell I hope that they come true
May the find their own light and be brought to life
(I pray they will thrive)
So gimme your applause, cause I will have it all
No it's not enough, I'm such a greedy
Idol
How I wish to tell you from my lips
That you have my love, I promise you this and so
I'll lie again but know
I'm praying there's way
They hold a little hope
That they will come true someday
And I'm sorry , it's not fine
That I couldn't say the things I meant to you
But now it's finally time
Ah, on the count of two
It's no longer a lie,
Let me say that it's true,
I love you
The best english version ever, make me want to cheer like ruby and aqua. 😮
Once i heard this i remembered Oshy no ko and how much i cried after the first episode. Honestly it leaves a hole in my chest but its a very nice song thank you Ama.
I Forgot To Take A Breath While Hearing The Voice, It's Like Holy Sound From Heaven 💗
The visuals, the vocals, the lyrics, how is everything about it so good??? 😭
GREAT to see you back Amalee! This was already a banger but then add your voice on top and it really slaps
When the world needs her, She’s back.
She is LITERALLY. THE BEST. Her covers ALWAYS HIT. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Her song writing skills are also second to none. Her professionalism deserves more praise! 👏🏾👏🏾
Still gives me chills whenever I listen to it.
Loved this!! ❤
So much has changed since first hearing of AmaLee’s brilliant work dating back to 2018. One day, she’s singing amazing English language OP songs of famous anime shows then becoming Marin of the English dub for My Dress Up Darling.
Now onto Oshi no Ko! Brilliance!
Why am I not surprised at all that AmaLee is absolutely nailing this? IT'S SO GOOOOOOD
The three low piano notes at 2:30 caught me off guard, & I LOVE it!!!! 🤩
Great job as always, keep it up. 👏👍
This is the best cover I've heard of this song; this sounds absolutely amazing!! And the music video is INCREDIBLE✨ The amount of beautiful animation that is in it is crazy
This is seriously so amazing! The translation is impeccable, and the way you sing it fits SO well with the original~
