"The intro absolutely sets the tone for the song, with a stomping drum beat. There's no claps, but there doesn't need to be. The drum stomps away with a pounding bass that roars and moans, it begs whoever is listening to go into overdrive with their dancing. There's also sharp, stabbing synths that jut in every 3 or 4 drum beats, and you never really know when they're coming during the intro; the effect is shocking. 'I'm here to be alive, and stay that way' Marina speaks over the beat, desperate to keep her life and sanity. It continues on for only 20 seconds, but that's all we need. When she begins to sing, every few words are cut off by more of the stabbing synths. The entire verse is covered with the roaring bass and the drums for the first half; it's perfect for some kind of nightclub or full-house rave, anyone would want to dance to it. For the second half of the verse, there's finally a clap added to the drums in a proper four-on-the-floor beat, but the bass is half-gone, its a lot more muddled, but that doesn't mean it's not as good. The stabbing synths increase in speed, coming in a lot more. Lyrics include 'Pretending to live doesn't make you alive/ Ignoring the fire doesn't make the pain a lie'. In the prechorus, there's just the drums this time, but they steadily build over just a short period in the prechours as Marina continues to sing about a haunting end of the world, or just maybe her relationship. The chorus absolutely explodes once again with more stomping drums, more pounding than ever before in the song. The beat is roaring with bass, but the sharp synths are absolutely absent. 'I'm not your holy woman, but I can be your sinful lover' she sings in it before there's a haunting chant of voices saying stuff such as 'Holy, holy, holy woman' in demonic tones as she continues to sing over them. It sounds like an end-of-the-world, coming-of-Satan anthem that will bring chills to the strongest, bravest man on earth. The second verse slows it down... By that, it literally has the sound of a tape/record winding down to a stop for a second. There's a brief moment of total silence, and then there's the drums again, pounding away as Marina continues to sing over it flawlessly. 'There's nothing supernatural about the end', she sings, and it's still not clear if she's discussing the actual end of the world or just the end of something special with another man; either one is earth shattering. The prechorus repeats itself, except there's a new piano that rapidly plinks loudly on the track. The chorus is the same, except there's a giant buildup right at the end of it. There's no break between the second chorus and the middle 8, but you can definitely tell where one ends and the other begins. There's a more dance break at the beginning of it, with a crunchy, grinding bass that rolls on and on for almost 25 seconds over a drum. It suddenly stops for a dubstep breakdown that recalls Marina's previous single, 'Needles and Pins (I'm Not Alright)', even though it's shocking to see that Porter Robinson had nothing to do with the production of this song. 'Can we go back to the start?
Where everything wasn't apart?' Marina pleads desperately with the singer; she's determined to survive this apocalypse. The wubbing continues on for almost a minute before everything breaks apart. The grinding bass from the beginning of the middle 8 comes back, but it's as if there's something wrong with the CD/track, as there are random cuts in it of silence, though it's obviously done on purpose. The effect is disturbing and uneasy for a moment, but then it goes back to the chorus. The sharp, piercing synths are back this time, something that was absent in the other two choruses. There's more lines, and more of the evil, demonic chanting under Marina's heartbreaking, perfect vocals. It builds up again, and just before the end of the song, there's another drum break just before Marina screams 'I'M NOT YOUR F**KING HOLY WOMAN'."
"There's blood on the walls,
And people dead in the streets
Children talking backwards
And us between the sheets
There's nothing right about our lives
And certainly nothing right about you
That doesn't mean I can't have any fun
Are you into that, too?
I'm not your Holy woman
But I can be your sinful lover"
Full "Holy Woman" Lyrics
SPOKEN INTRO:
I'm not here for it to be this way
I'm not here for the wrong one
I'm here to be alive, and stay that way
But whatever it is, it must be done
VERSE 1:
Pretending to live doesn't make you alive
Ignoring the fire doesn't make the pain a lie
There's no real answer to your million questions
There's a thousand little lights spinning in their eternal torments
The little Hellish girl is whispering in my ear
Like it or not, the end of days is near
PRE-CHORUS:
There's a scream in the cellar that's not being heard
There's a f**ker in the attic with nothing to lose
There's people in my head talking about nothing
There's a woman in the closet swinging from a noose
There's countless troubles we're ignoring
And yet we play our games
And the skin is melting off of our flesh
CHORUS:
There's blood on the walls,
And people dead in the streets
Children talking backwards
And us between the sheets
There's nothing right about our lives
And certainly nothing right about you
That doesn't mean I can't have any fun
Are you into that, too?
I'm not your Holy woman
But I can be your sinful lover
The end is getting closer and closer
Might as well take cover
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
The end is getting closer and closer
Might as well take cover
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
I'M NOT YOUR HOLY WOMAN
VERSE 2:
There's nothing supernatural about the end
It's only fire, ice, water and the wind
Things are moving fast, too hard to see
We never get to just live, they won't let us be
Faster and faster, I think I'm going blind
Let me inside you, let me read your mind
PRE-CHORUS:
There's countless troubles we're ignoring
And yet we play our games
And the skin is melting off of our flesh
CHORUS:
There's blood on the walls,
And people dead in the streets
Children talking backwards
And us between the sheets
There's nothing right about our lives
And certainly nothing right about you
That doesn't mean I can't have any fun
Are you into that, too?
I'm not your Holy woman
But I can be your sinful lover
The end is getting closer and closer
Might as well take cover
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
The end is getting closer and closer
Might as well take cover
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
I'm not your holy woman
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
I'll be here for your demise
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
Running, that idea would be wise
(Sinner, sinner, sinning woman)
I'm not your perfect idol
(Sinful, sinner, sinning woman)
I'M NOT YOUR GOD DAMN HOLY WOMAN
MIDDLE 8:
Can we go back to the start?
Where everything wasn't apart?
Things were perfect, and everything was fine
On our souls, the evil ones will dine
Our lives are at stake, our souls to be taken
I've been telling you this forever, you refused to be awaken
The Holy Woman doesn't exist, she's only a fake
I've told you once, I've told you twice, it's only you they'll take...
CHORUS:
There's blood on the walls
(The evil ones are ready)
And people are dead in the streets
(I warned you)
Children talking backwards
(They know the truth)
And us between the sheets
(Make it our last)
There's nothing right about our lives
And certainly nothing right about you
(Are you one of them?)
That doesn't mean we can't have any fun
Are you into that, too?
(Are you dead yet?)
I'm not your Holy woman
But I can be your sinful lover
The end is getting closer and closer
(You never f**king listened)
Might as well take cover
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
The end is getting closer and closer
Might as well take cover
(Unholy, unholy, unholy bitch)
I'll be here for your demise
(Holy, holy, holy woman)
Running, that idea would be wise
(Sinful, sinful, sinful people)
I'm not your perfect idol
(Evil, evil, evil woman)
...
I'M NOT YOUR F**KING HOLY WOMAN
Intro:
All I ever wanted was You, but you were such a douch
I had to leave
Verse1:
Me + you was all I wanted
I was sad you made me happy
Completed me like the heaux I was
Now we're better before you left me for another
Now all I got left is want we have left
Pre Chorus:
Yolo,yolo,yolo,yolo,yoloylolyo
Chorus:
Whatever it is, it feels like it's laughing at me
Through the glass of a two-sided mirror
Whatever it is, it's just sitting there laughing at me
And I just wanna scream
What now, I just can't figure it out
What now, I guess
I'll just wait it out, wait it out
What now, please tell me, what now
What we have leftt, what we have left
Left, what we haveeeee

GIVE ME DAT #1
Ill finish the song later I'm gonna go get my drank onnnn
The show started with "State of Grace". This was the opening of the "Mystic Garden" section. Selena donned a cream mini-dress that was tight at the top, flowy at the bottom that stopped at her thigh. It had golden strings going both ways wrapped diagnolly around the upper part of the dress. She also wore a golden wreath headband. She arrived on the stage by rising too the top of a staircase from back and being carried down the stairs on a litter. Similar too the cartoon image below. Their wasn't much choreo in this section since all the songs are toned down mid-tempos. But her energy, vocals, and enthusiasm were on point. The stage was themed around ancient greece and roman gardens, and had a giant fountain flowing pink water. Color themes were gold, cream and deep green.
Then came the "Exotic Paradise" section. This section featured a Britney Spears / Beyonce medley. Selena wore a deep blue bikini with gold accents, was barefoot and had a gold belt with tiny metal bells hanging from it. Selena exposed her skills in belly dancing to "Slave 4 U" and "The Answer". After the Britney Spears medley ended, the Beyonce one started. It started with Selena being behind too large feather fans for about a minute. She then came from behind the fans, only to return to them doing a fan dance while wearing 7 inch stripper heels. She walked down the runway to give the audience in the pit a lap dance and finish "Naughty Girl" with a pole dance. She then went back too the main stage for "Baby Boy". This featured a caribbean style dance, similar to that of the one in Beyonce's "Baby Boy" video. The dancers also put a cape-style set of wings that draped from her arms on Selena.
The "Intimate High" section was all performed on a swing that flew over the crowd. Definitely a way to tone things down after the heavy choreo from the last section. This section was the most simple of the show and it featured a lot of self touching and caressing. She wore a pink flowy mini dress.
The "Rain's Embrace" was very intimate with the crowd. It featured Selena sitting on a piano and their was a light mist falling on the crowd. Their was another Beyonce cover, 1+1. Perhaps the best moment of this section was the "Wings" performance as Selena actually sat on the pit stage to sing directly to her fans. She sat and talked with them a little bit after the song. She wore a cream and blue dress that had veil in the back. A fun and quirky part of this performance was Selena throwing glitter on some of her fans. She brought a few on stage, hugged them and made sure that her fans felt comfortable around her.
The finale was epic, it started with Selena's party anthem "Dreaming". She murdered the african style choreo, and performed a bit of the song blindfolded like she did in her GMA performance. She then swerved into her inspirational power ballad "Crazy" on a balcony over the fans. Lastly, she performed Fantasy. The choreo was KILLER and the production was amped up to be more hard-hitting and anthem-like.
Come and Get It, Hit The Drum and Those Words were all performed as part of the finale with Justin Bieber.

I like your face in magazines
But I like it better down my crotch
I like the way you work it down the runway but
I like it better when you work it down my butterscotch
Spoken Pre-Chorus:
Strike a pose
Lose those clothes
That's the way high fashion sex goes
Chorus:
Get inside my playhouse
You can lose those clothes now
Make me wanna say 'Wow'
Ooh ah lalala
Get inside my playhouse
I really wanna get down
Make me wanna say 'Ouch'
Ooh ah lalala
I like your designer jeans
But I like it better on the floor
I like how these leather whips make your skin so sore
But I like it better when you ask for more

Spoken Bridge:
Sex
Is like a photoshoot
You do your best 'cause the cameras are rolling
Work it 'cause the lights are flashing
Adam, could you change my five artists in the OP? This is the five I'd like to stick with.
Katy Perry
Slenderman
Keri Hilson
HyunA
2NE1
And before anyone throws a fit, I owned all of these artists plus three more before the rule change. I just never specified to Adam which ones I'd like to keep.
After yet another hiatus, we have returned. It was a long process of deciding the artists we wanted to keep on the label, but the five we've selected are sure to provide fans with amazing content for years to come.
As a thanks to all of our fans for sticking around, we have a special present for you! Please, enjoy.
Paris Hilton rocked the runway as she performed her smash hit lead single Playhouse. The sexual song fits perfectly as models in lingerie and briefs sashayed down the runway. Paris shocked the audience when she put her hand inside River Viiperi's brief when her model boyfriend was walking the runway. The show will be broadcasted tonight on CTV at 8pm.
