Music and Lyrics

Enjoy the Music and Lyrics soundtrack. Amazing that Hugh Grant can really sing, hehe.
We enjoyed the movie, the humour, the music, and our togetherness (mostly).

"Music is like sex, when you hear a song, you're attracted to the melody, it's like the physical attraction, but once you get close to the person, you want to know more about his personality, and that's the lyrics."

Sophie Fisher

Be Ugly '07

I was looking for Jazon Mraz songs and I found a new song: Beauty in Ugly. It turns out the song is for Be Ugly '07 campaign. ABC started this campaign for the new TV series Ugly Betty, a remake of the old series or a continuation.. I'm not really sure.

From USA Today:

Ugly is the new beautiful.

That's the message behind a new public service campaign, "Be Ugly '07", being announced today by ABC off its fall hit comedy Ugly Betty.

The purpose — aside from drumming up new viewers — is to promote a positive message for young women: "Be real, be smart, be passionate, be true to yourself and be ugly."

Main character Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) is not movie-star pretty, but she's smart and capable and has a good heart. And more than 13 million viewers a week love her for it.

"The irony is that this girl is perceived this way," says Silvio Horta, Betty's executive producer. "The second you get to know her, she's beautiful."

The campaign is the latest entry in a backlash to the images of rail-thin models that bombard young women daily.

Dove's talked-about Campaign for Real Beauty has become a popular global ad effort based on debunking conventional beauty stereotypes. Alex Kuczynski's best seller Beauty Junkies examines the obsession with plastic surgery. In interviews, she has talked about how "stupid" it was for her to wear acrylic nails and spend money on Botox and painful liposuction.

etc....

Be Real,
Be Smart,
Be Kind,
Be Honest,
Be True To Yourself,

Here the MV of the song:



She’s so big hearted
But not so remarkable
Just an ordinary humble girl
Expecting nothing as we’re made to think
It’s a pretty person’s world

But you are beautiful
And you better go show it
So go look again
You gotta be true to your own
If you really wanna go to the top
Do you really wanna win
Don’t believe in leaving normal
Just to satisfy demand

Well if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
And see the beauty in ugly

Well you are fresh

Your face is fabulous
Don’t forget you’re one of a kind
When nobody’s checking the deeds you’ve done
And nobody’s hearing your cries
You make all the fashion statements
Just by dressing up your mind

And if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
And see the beauty in ugly
See the beauty in ugly
