COVER Request Contest Week 30! - Winner (50% Post HP): @clairemobey! FINAL EPISODE (For now)!
Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town, South Africa!
Welcome to the 30th and FINAL week of this challenging series of posts I have set myself for Thursdays!
This was the challenge I have been setting myself every Thursday: I asked for cover song requests on the MUSIC community, and then I picked a favourite song to learn and post a live video of me attempting to cover it. The person who asked for the winning song then got 50% of the post rewards in HP!
Will I ever do this again? I might – it’s a lot of fun! However, it is quite challenging, so I would probably change the day I post to the weekend, so that I can learn the new song then, instead of an evening during the work-week! Hahahaha!
The winner this final week (for now) is @clairemobey! I wanted to out with a BANG and do a fun song, and she asked for “…Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears! So… for one time, instead of wearing a “cover-hat-of-shame”, let me rather wear a “cover-wig-of-shame”!
Here is the original:
Congratulations @clairemobey! You win 50% of this post's rewards in HP!
So, that’s Week 30 of my own Initiative on Thursdays done and dusted! If I do pick up the Cover Request Challenge again, please expect that it will probably be on Sundays!
Lyrics for "…Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears / Songwriter – Martin Sandberg (known as Max Martin)
**
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here?
Oh, baby, baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because
My loneliness
Is killing me and I
I must confess
I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me, baby, one more time
Oh, baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy, you got me blinded
Oh, pretty baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because
My loneliness
Is killing me and I
I must confess
I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me, baby, one more time
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh, baby, baby
How was I supposed to know?
Oh, pretty baby
I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess
That my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign?
Hit me, baby, one more time
My loneliness
Is killing me and I
I must confess
I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me, baby, one more time
I must confess
That my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign?
Hit me, baby, one more time

Here's what Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Martin#Artistry) says about Max Martin the songwriter (now you know why all pop music sounds the same! It's all written by the same guy! Hahaha!):
"Karl Martin Sandberg (Swedish: [ˈmǎʈːɪn ˈsânː(d)bærj, - ˈsâmːbærj]; born 26 February 1971),[1][2] known professionally as Max Martin, is a Swedish record producer and songwriter. He rose to prominence in the late 1990s making a string of hit singles such as Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time" (1998), the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" (1999), Céline Dion's "That's the Way It Is" (1999) and NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" (2000).
Martin has written or co-written 25 Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs, most of which he has also produced or co-produced, including Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" (2008) and "Roar" (2013), Maroon 5's "One More Night" (2012), Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" (2014), and The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (2019) and "Save Your Tears" (2020). Martin is the songwriter with the third-most number-one singles on the chart, behind only Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26).[3]"
