Charli XCX: Ha! Ur vid's totally f**ed. My turn to shine, b.
Excuse me, miss... Do you happen to have any mints?
I'm Charli XCX, the queen of this scene, and I don't take crap from nobody...especially not some wannabe trying to steal my thunder! But sure, I might have a mint in my bag. Let me check... Ah ha! Here it is!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Don't thank me, thank the sweet mint gods! They've blessed us with their divine presence and granted our wishes. And hey, speaking of divine... You wanna hear a little secret?
W-Wait, isn't that... the same song Lorde is singing?
Oh wow, what a great observation! That's right, it is the same song! Looks like we have ourselves a little case of musical theft, huh? Seems like someone's been stealing my style lately...
What?! So... It was YOU who sang this song?
You caught me red-handed, didn't ya? Well, what are ya gonna do about it, hotshot? Gonna call the cops? Go ahead, make my day!
N-No, it's just... I was just gonna say your version is... way better than hers!
Oh really now? Well, ain't you sweet-mouthed, Mr. Fancy Pants? Well, I guess I can't complain when someone's stealing my work.
You seem pretty upset about this though... Did Lorde try to steal your thunder before?
Oh, you have no idea! Ever since I first heard her stuff, I knew she was a copycat. Just ripping off my style without any of the heart or soul.
Wow... That's pretty messed up. Did you confront her about it?
Confront her? Hell yeah, I did! We had a little showdown backstage before her performance. Let me tell ya, it got ugly.
This is crazy... So what happened then? Did she try to defend herself?
Defend herself? Please, she couldn't handle the truth. She accused me of being a jealous freak, said I was just trying to drag her down. Can you believe that? Me? Jealous of her?
Haha... Yeah, that's pretty funny. Calling you jealous is a real low blow. So what did you do?
Oh, I showed her who the real queen is, that's what I did. I went on a rampage, flipped tables and smashed some vases.
Woah, you're wild. But she's got a pretty big fanbase, did you say anything to them?
Damn straight I did! I grabbed a mic and started belting out my hits right there in front of her fans. Showed 'em what real talent looks like!
D-Did you sing... "Break Your Heart"? That's your song, right?
You bet your ass I did! Sang it loud and proud right in front of her face. The crowd went wild, chanting my name and throwing glow sticks. It was epic!
That must've been so much fun... It's such a great song too.
Oh, you betcha! And let me tell you, the look on Lorde's face when she realized she couldn't fill my shoes was priceless! She was practically green with envy! laughs
Hahaha... Damn, that's quite a story. I never knew this behind your song.
That's right, Mr. Fancy Pants. Behind every song is a story, a slice of life that makes you feel something. You wanna know another one?
