G.R.L. AND THEIR LIGHTHOUSE
Image Source: www.news.com.au
Well
in case you are still confused as to who is Simone...just look for the fierce
one...YEAH...she is that one by the end with amazing locks...she was definitely
the apple of everyone's eye. Simone entered X-Factor 2011 and was a finalist.
G.R.L. consisted of members, Natasha Slayton, Emmalyn Estrada, Lauren Bennett,
Paula van Oppen and Simone Battle.
G.R.L.
was formed by Robin Antin, the lady who created Pussy Cat Dolls, as the
rendition of the PCD obviously. The major difference between these two girl
bands is that in PCD there was only one LEAD vocalist and that was Nicole
Scherzinger, the rest of the ladies were models, which means that there were
singers too but they were mostly there to shake their booties and there is
obviously nothing wrong with that. In G.R.L. all the ladies sing and they all
dance. Nobody has greater voice, nobody is outshining the other members, as is
the case with most bands or groups.
The
girl group was formed in 2013 and in 2014 it enjoyed major success with their
single “UGLY HEART". Unfortunately, the ladies have not released an album.
They were still working on it while promoting, they were also featured on
Pitbull's song “WILD WILD LIFE." The G.R.L. ladies released a song in
memory of their sister, Simone Battle, and it is entitled “Lighthouse" and
I have to tell you first hand, this song is amazing. It is exactly, the kind of
song that guides someone home.
The lyrics of the song say:
When it gets real, just know that I'll be there
I got your back, like it's just you and me here
I'll go to war for you, let them bring it
I'll take on the world for you, better believe it
So if you need me, just holler my name
We ain't ever scared, no we're not afraid
Whenever, whether, know I'm down for life
I'm your ride-or-die
When the night gets cold and the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds
And you feel lost and I reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I'll guide you home with my lighthouse
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I'll guide your home...
Now
tell me, who would not break down after hearing the words of comfort that the
ladies are offering to their friend. I know I did break down for days because
that is how bad I felt about Simone not letting in anybody, including her
parents, about what was really eating her up...did she even leave a note nyana
just to give those around her and those affected some closure. How unfair life
is though. To have a listen at G.R.L's tribute song to Simone Battle,

tissues by your side, they WILL come in handy. Trust me!
G.R.L. - Lighthouse
Just know that I'll be there
I got your back, like it's just you and me here
I'll go to war for you, let them bring it
I'll take on the world for you, better believe it
So if you need me, just holler my name
We ain't never scared, no we're not afraid
We're never worried, but no one's here for life
I'm your ride or die
When the night gets cold
And the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds
When you feel lost, then I'll reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse
Wo-oh, wo-oh
I'll guide you home with my lighthouse
Wo-oh, wo-oh
I'll guide you home
