Hi everyone! We are Carlos, Roberto, Sara and Isabel, a group of friends from different places of Spain who are studying translation and interpreting at the UVA in Soria. We have different personalities, but still we get along quite well and enjoy working together. We have chosen four songs to do this project, which are:
 * Girlfriend - Avril Lavinge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg59q4puhmg)
 * Wannabe - The Spice Girls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJLIiF15wjQ)
 * Single Ladies - Beyoncé (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1EFMoRFvY)
 * So what - P!nk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJfFZqTlWrQ)

Here are the new lyrics we've created for some parts of each song. We wanted to tell the story of a singer who is in his way to the stage, when several people (a stylist, a hairdresser, and a choreographer) stop him and tell him that he won't be a superstar if he doesn't change his appearence. At the end, the singer gets angry and tells them that he can success by being himself.

__** Girlfriend **__ (0:24 - 1:11) Oh my goodness Have you seen that outfit? No way, come here Time to find a new look Oh my goodness Is it from an outlet?

You’ve got the face You’ve got the voice You’ve got body But have you think about getting a stylist Don’t you know the shopping centre is like heaven on earth?

Don’t flinch away I’m going to make you look gorgeous And know what? That shirt is plain monstrous You can’t wear that outside, and you know I’m right (right, right, right)

You’re going to triumph everywhere I’ll make you shine on the stage We’re going to change all your wardrobe now [ROBERTO] Stop right there I’m getting out of here

__** Wannabe **__ (1:20 - 2:03) I’ll tell you what you need what you really, really need [ROBERTO] So tell me what I need what I really, really need [R] I need a [S] you need a [R] I need a [S] you need a You need a better haircut so you can change your style.

If you wanna be successful, you gotta get your hair cut Let me make it edgy, you’ll shine like a star If you wanna be successful, don’t you be afraid I’ll make you look flawless, just like Beyoncé.

Is it all right if I put some highlights over here? You would look better, for sure. You´ll make them cheer So don´t be annoying, and let me work [ROBERTO] I’m not gonna stand this girl a-ny-more __** Single Ladies **__ (0:11 - 0:45) Come right here (here), get on your feet (feet), I’ll make you shake your hips Listen to me (me), you cannot trip (trip) On you all the eyes will be

Move like this (this), imitate me (me) You gotta pay close attention You dance so weird, like a machine So please listen to me

Cause if you wanna be a star then you should work it out Don’t be ashamed, it’s pretty easy let me turn it up Turn around, hit the dance floor, and shake it up Now you’re ready you can show them what you’re made of [ROBERTO] no no no, no no no, no no nono …

__** So What **__ (0:26 - 1:30)

No no no no no no no no no, just wanna be myself No no no no no no no no no can’t tell me how to be

Oh oh, gosh I’ll speak my mind out You think it’s foolish But I won’t shut my mouth No

I’m not your puppet You’re being unfair Don’t make me change myself Now I am Who I am  Somebody had to

Be it I’ll speak my mind out You think it’s foolish But I won’t shut my mouth

I’m gonna break the world down I’m gonna be a star You can’t stop me right now Cause I will follow this path Don’t wanna reach the top Without all my defects I’m gonna rule world I’m gonna express myself
