Natasha Bedingfield Serenades A DSi

Last night’s Nintendo party starred Grammy-nominated pop singer Natasha Bedingfield.

It also starred, for a brief moment, an electric-blue Nintendo DSi. After belting out a number of songs, Bedingfield pulled out a DSi and started, I don’t know, sorta fondling it as she sang.

Initially I thought she was going to use it to distort her voice or play around with her own music, but no. Instead it sorta looked like she was reading the lyrics to the song she was singing off of it. But then, she just sort of held it in her hand and sang.

    I love how the guitarist kinda sighs when she comes over. :P

    @Spoony Bard:

    Give that gold star to me so you can get another one. ;)

  • Melaisis

    @Lythium:

    I also agree.

    One less reason to buy a DSi, eh?

    Every time I see Ms. Bedingfield I want to throw a saddle on her back, comb her hair, and feed her carrots.

    Pop is shit. Grammys are shit bribed by pop.
    The only thing Pop is good for is beating up the actual artists to the beat of their songs LOLOLOLOL.

    Of course, she was proving some friend online (whatever game there is online that ACTUALLY uses the mic) that she actually was Natasha Bedingfield!

    @Spoony Bard: Erm, formatting went out of whack. Whoops.

    So are we assuming this is the "Nintendo version"? Let's analyze.

    We'll do it all
    Everything
    On our own
    (All I need is my DSi?)

    We don't need anything
    Or anyone
    (Seriously, don't get between me and my DSi.)

    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    (Playing the DSi in bed. OK, I get it.)

    I don't quite know
    How to say
    How I feel
    (Clearly.)

    Those three words
    Are said too much
    They're not enough
    ("Nintendo Pays Me? Nintendo Prints Money?")

    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    (Sure, Natasha. But how will I play my Wii?)

    Forget what we're told
    Before we get too old
    Show me a garden that's bursting into life
    (Animal Crossing?)

    Let's waste time
    Chasing cars
    Around our heads
    (Definitely a reference to Mario Kart.)

    I need your grace
    To remind me
    To find my own
    (Meaning stop playing mine, and get your own.)

    All that I am
    All that I ever was
    Is here in your perfect eye, they're all I can see
    (Perfect i? As in DSi?)

    I don't know where
    Confused about how as well
    Just know that these things will never change for us at all
    (It ran out of juice, I'm trying to find a power outlet!)

    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    (Oh, DSi. You complete me.)

    This is a really, really strange cover of Snow Patrol - it's not bad until you actually watch it while you're listening. If I were at this concert, I'd feel the need to take a shower afterwards. Or something.

    @Lythium:

    I like the way you prefaced your insults. It also works if you put a smiley face after the insult.

    Anyway I generaly agree - she's rubbish :)

    one time that i'm glad all that the shitty flash ads on the page prevented me from watching the video.

  • Nick Mangiaracina

    I think if you listen to the song she's singing, she's actually singing to the DSi. I mean let's be honest, everyone here has wished the same thing. Laying in bed with your DS, don't you want to just lay there with your DS and...just forget the world?

  • JetarR

    I'm thinking that she's taking pictures with it. Maybe she's just like everyone else with a new toy ;)

    The song is "Chasing Cars," by Snow Patrol, which she's done before. It's not like she came up with her own thing and would really need the lyrics, so the holding of the DSi is even stranger.

    Unless, as the glances suggest, she's just using it as a monitor like 95% of pop stars who use them at concerts.

    In any case, this is clearly too much analysis to put into a post at 8:30 AM.

    @phluke: it's a games convention, so probably most of the men there.

  • phluke

    So do you think everyone raised their hand when she asked if there were any single people there?

  • Lythium

    Sorry if I offend anyyone, but I think she's a talentless waste of space; her music is trite and cringeworthy. Ugh.

    Worst advertising of a DS ever, too.

  • BarbeQueQ

    Why makes photos with a photo camera or cell phone when you have a DSi, right?

    At one point she told the audience how much she loved recording in Brazil and it was funny that she couldn't understand everyone there who was speaking SPANISH...and that's what I left.
