January 19, 201114 yr I'd go for power ballads like Heart's Alone or Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse Of The Heart, my sister thinks Pink's Who Knew is very dramatic as well, but I don't think it's too melodramatic!
January 19, 201114 yr It depends who sings the song but Jennifer Holliday doing a live version of And I am Telling You is great.
January 19, 201114 yr All By Myself by Celine Dion Radio by Alesha Dixon Love the Way You Lie by Eminem & Rihanna That's all I can think of now
January 19, 201114 yr "You cut me open and I keep bleeding love." Pretty dramatic. :P This and My Heart Will go On!!
January 19, 201114 yr well, proper dramatic songs should have an effect on the audience- a full on anthem, the obvious choices would be Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions are both very dramatic songs Muse make very dramatic pieces, Welcome To The Black Parade from MCR are also dramatic from what I recall
January 19, 201114 yr In terms of production, melody and lyrics; Nerina Pallot - Idaho is pretty dramatic.
January 19, 201114 yr Battlefield is very dramatic. LOL. Are you referring to the Jordin Sparks song? Christina Aguilera ballads are the first thing to come to my mind. wwCykGDEp7M&ob
January 19, 201114 yr Jennifer Lopez - (Can't Believe) This Is Me and That's Not Me As dramatic as she gets. Alanis Morissette - Uninvited
January 20, 201114 yr ''I'd catch a grenade for you, I'd take a bullet straight through my brain for you''. There's dramatic, then there's just full on LOL OTT. Bruno Mars takes that award.
January 20, 201114 yr b4UVJM6m5po This song is about feeling the urge to commit suicide, lovely. The OHHH! at 1.45 is the most incredible thing EVER though. Xiu Xiu lyrics easily top Bruno Mars: Gray Death: "Beat beat me to death i said it beat beat me to death" In Lust You Can Hear The Axe Fall: "Slit me into your breast and crush an ashtray into your breast" And the easily-the-most-disturbing-lyrics-of-all-time goes to Support Our Troops OH! "Did you know you were going to shoot off the top of a four year old girl's head And look across her car-seat down into her skull And see into her throat and did you know that her dad would say to you, "Please sir, can I take her body home?" Oh wait, you totally did know... that that would happen Cuz you're a jock who was too stupid and too greedy And too unmotivated to do anything else but still be The biggest and still do what other people tell you to do You did it to still be a winner You shot your grenade launcher into peoples windows and Into the doors of peoples houses - why should I care if you get killed?" I'd be VERY SURPRISED if you managed to find something more dramatic than that. Good thing they're rather difficult to take seriously. Edited January 20, 201114 yr by Harve
January 20, 201114 yr i take xiu xiu seriously though i agree there is a certain element of humor/ludicrousness to their music, but it's purposeful and the emotion is very very real. see their live show. it's astounding. the spoken word verse from support our troops OH! is just...words can't describe; i love how out of context it seems childish but within the context of the album it's clearly storytelling / jamie portraying a character. somehow with fabulous muscles he manages to perfectly describe the depression that comes with not having the privilege being heteronormative/cisgender/'normal' (which sounds dumb but whatever), but it's also very humorous and positive in the end, i think. PERFECT ALBUM, etc.
January 20, 201114 yr Radio by Alesha Dixon Seriously? Anyway there are thousands of course. About 80% of the best pop songs are uber dramatic! Off the top of my head these spring to mind: Madonna 'Like A Prayer' Anastacia 'Left Outside Alone' Christina Aguilera 'Walk Away' Céline Dion 'My Heart Will Go On' - quite possible the most dramatic ever. Anything at all ever recorded by Mary J Blige. But as I say I could name a thousand easily enough.
January 20, 201114 yr Kelly Clarkson 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' is one that springs to mind straight away for me.
