Amelia Lily "Truth or Dare"

I was almost afraid that Amelia Lily had got the axe by Xenomania after her best single to date, "Party Over" flopped on the charts. Her album may have been pushed back, but Miss Lily will not accept the flop tag so easily and has pulled out the big guns and has made fan favourite "Truth or Dare" as the fourth single from "Be a Fighter". "Truth or Dare" falls into that generic dance-pop category that will have her name back in the public domain, while Lily's past songs were all varied on the pop spectrum with the pop/rock of "Shut Up and Give Me Whatever You Got" to the drum and bass stylings of the aforementioned "Party Over". Maybe she should have used this as the follow-up to "You Bring Me Joy" instead since dance isn't much of a thing anymore...

Amelia Lily "Party Over" Music Video

 Miss Amelia Lily shows how much abuse an iPhone can take in the music video for her soon-to-be smash, "Party Over". She drops in the sink, which causes a time lapse and takes her back to a major party complete with not so discreet product placement, gambling, and a furry for good measure. Not wanting the party to be over, she stamps on it and the party lasts forever, or at least I would like to think that.

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.
