[InstantNoodles]

Okay, I know everyone has heard of the the new singer Lorde (Ella Yelich-O'Connor), she's from New Zealand.
Her new song "Royals" has been all over the web, TV, radio-waves and beyond.
So I gotta do another feedback post.
What's your take on Lorde?

Twice a day, five days a week.
Remember it all.

Here's the lyrics to "Royals":

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envyBut every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel roomWe don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreamsBut everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leashWe don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affairAnd we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasyMy friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from moneyBut every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel roomWe don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreamsBut everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leashWe don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affairAnd we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasyooh ooh oh ooh
We're better than we've every dreamed
And I'm in love with being queenooh ooh oh ooh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affairAnd we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

I agree. She was like 14 when she wrote it, her song "Tennis Court" is really good, my friend Andy showed it to me a little while ago. As in a few miniutes ago. Lol.

It's a decent single. Hard to explain how it got to #1 on the Billboard hot 100 though.

I believe it was because of the beats and the synthesizers, plus it has a sort of rebel feel as well as a hip hop/rap feel to it.
