Kritik an Jessie Js "Price Tag"
Autor: DavidB
Spoiler
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night,
When the sale comes first and the truth come second,
Just stop for a minute and smile.
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious,
Got shades on your eyes and your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time
Everybody look to their left,
Everybody look to their right,
Do you feel that yeah,
We're payin with love tonight,
It's not about the money, money, money,
We don't need your money, money money,
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag.
Ain't about the oh che-ching, Che-ching,
Aint about the YEAH, be-bling, be bling,
We just wanna make tue world dance,
Forget about the price tag.
(Ok)
We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes
Am I the only one getting tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling all, right
Everybody look to their left (to their left!)
Everybody look to their right (to their right!)
Do you feel that yeah,
We're payin with love tonight,
It's not about the money, money, money,
We don't need your money, money money,
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag.
Ain't about the oh che-ching, Che-ching,
Aint about the YEAH, be-bling, be bling,
We just wanna make tue world dance,
Forget about the price tag.

Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six strings and a half stack.
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I..
Yes all I need are keys and guitars
And its with in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah we leaping across these undefeatable odds
Its like this man, you can't put a price on the life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice everynight
So we aint gon stumble and fall never
Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about the money, money, money

Offizielle Interpretation: Geld sagt nichts über den Charakter und dem Spaß am Leben aus. Ähnlich wie die Beatles sich keine Liebe kaufen konnten, sehnt sich Jessie J nach der Zeit zurück, wo es in der Musik mehr um die Botschaft und weniger um Performance geht. Ihre Kritik geht dabei indirekt an Aufmerksamkeitshuren wie Katy Perry und Lady Gaga.
Meine Interpretation: Amüsant, es geht also nicht um den Preis? Warum bietet Jessie J ihre Musik dann nicht kostenlos an? Man kann ja inzwischen Lieder kostenlos im Internet anbieten und davon ausgehen, dass echte Fans auch Geld für die Werke ausgeben. Das machen viele Menschen so.
Oder um es mit den Worten von Nikel Pallat (Ex-Manager der Band "Ton Steine Scherben") zu sagen: "Für wen arbeitest du denn? Du kannst doch echt nicht ojektiv bestreiten, dass du für einen Kapitalisten arbeitest!"
Und falls man mal das Musikvideo und Album von Jessie J betrachtet, kann man keine großen Unterschiede zu ihren verpönten modernen Kapitalistensänger/innen bemerken. Ich dachte, es geht um die gratis-Botschaft und nicht um die teuren Effekte?
