Graded Song:Amelia Lily "Party Over"


Amelia Lily, the third place runner-up in the 2011 cycle of the UK version of "The X-Factor" has been having a decent run since the show. She is prepping the release of the first studio album, have released two successful singles and is the opening act for Girls Aloud on their reunion tour (the power of Xenomania y'all). However, I haven't been too impressed by Miss Lily's output. She has an amazing voice, but she gave us a Miley Cyrus type vibe with "You Bring Me Joy" and she furthered that with "Shut Up and Give Me Whatever You Got". Now she's on single #3, "Party Over". Is she going to continue the faux-Hannah Montana act or finally showcase those powerhouse vocals?
So she finally deviates away from the Disney Channel star's vocals and gives us something to hair whip to. The drum and bass production is what makes the song stand out, as the lyrics are a bit on the side of Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack": childish and underdeveloped. This makes it easier for everyone to remember, especially the chorus with all of the "Ovas! Ovas!" Aside from that, it bangs better than her predecessors and something I would want to have on repeat at least 20xs at the gym.
Final Grade:C+ 
Also, she teased the video earlier today. I see Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" mixed with Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" sans the trashy makeup and attire.
