Who's Ghetto Baby?
Other | Thursday 9th August 2012 | Osh
The luscious lipped beauty Lana Del Rey has been slated for her recently leaked audio of “Ghetto Baby”. Del Rey originally wrote the track, for British brunette Cheryl Cole for her album “A Million Lights”.
Unfortunately and oddly, fans have not reacted well to the re-invention of the track. One fan wrote, “Cheryl’s version OWNS this”.
Cheryl Cole, originally starting out in the band “Girls Aloud” gained worldly recognition from the song “Heartbreaker” in which she collaborated with Will.I.AM.
Weirdly enough, Cole’s “singing” is famous for being drowned in auto tune and loud music; so it’s puzzling to think Del Rey’s version has not been met with the same warm reception if not more.
Fortunately there is some support for Lana, a loyal fan commented, “lana del rey is a better singer than cheryl. and lana has an amazing creative ability while cheryl doesn't at all.”
In 2012 Del Rey released the ever-popular anthem “Born to Die” and it topped several music charts, receiving strong positive reviews from critics. Earlier in the year she was approached by Cole to write a song for her album. In other words, the twinkle-eyed Geordie used Lana’s impressive creative skills to create a warbling version of the original song that was born for Del Rey’s smoky smooth voice.
But we’ll let you decide, who’s baby is it going to be?
