Shiny | FEMALE VILLAIN VERSION | Moana | Cover by Lydia

Hope you enjoy this weeks cover of Shiny from Disneys Moana!! 🌊 💎 ✨
This cover is inspired by a Tik Tok I found the other day lol. Ellie Banke sang a small section of this song and I’ve been obsessed with it, check her out here - vm.tiktok.com/ZGJHySAy5/
I just decided to have a bit of fun with this one, it’s not incredibly clean but I wanted it to have personality more than I wanted it to be pitch perfect! I’ve also been SO BUSY so we didn’t have time to be perfectionists this week.
When I tell you I am working on so many exciting things you ARE NOT READY, I’m so hyped for you to eventually see what me and my buddies have been working on, watch this space.
In the meantime I hope you enjoyed the cover! Make sure to drop a comment below to please you KZbin gods 🙏

‘I just love free food’ - never have I sung a line I identify with more Presave to stream the song here! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/lydiathebard/shiny

[@user-kv5jk5dg5n]

Well, that’s one line a lot of people can identify with)))😂

[@LydMaliceMerch]

Amazing and beautiful so calm but the emotion in your voice ahhh I can't get enough!!!

[@cottonrain520]

Truthfully who doesn’t love free food?

[@eddieyourcrazybakedpotato513]

LYDIA!! could you please sing dark of the night from Anastasia??

[@edizicu9853]

Me too

I will always love the fact that Lin Manuel Miranda rhymed “demigod” and “decapod”

Hamilton Guy wrote the lyrics for Shiny? 😮

[@moonadawnwellforrealll]

​@@lunari1249 true.

My god, I didn’t knew he worked on the song and Moana That men is a music genius

[@OhSkyeLanta]

The sign of lyrical magic: blending science and myth, and if there’s a chance to make someone break out a dictionary, take it and run!

[@JabamiLain]

I just love how sadistic this song is and how the villain makes a point in making it all shiny and dynamic, showcasing its full villainy by being a practical drama ruler who weakens the food psychologically and emotionally. Truly an example of how to do villain songs that aren't all gloomy.

[@cmat911]

youtube likely didn't give you a notification, but you got 190 likes! good job bro :)

[@JabamiLain]

@@cmat911 thanks.

[@Darth_Nycta_13]

Honestly it properly characterises Tamotoa as both whimsical and sadistic. He enjoys being cruel and evil.

[@The_Darke_Lorde]

Most villain songs from Disney aren't gloomy at all! Most are legit bops

[@JabamiLain]

​@@The_Darke_Lorde well, yeah, but they do have victimization, or a sob story incorporated filled with anger, or some sadness. In this one, there's none of it. He just enjoys himself. Even his revenge on Maui is more for a matter of pride than any real hatred.

[@user-kv5jk5dg5n]

Lemme just say, this art of female Tamatoa is gorgeous❤ Also, an interesting and unexpected choice of a song, but I love it) Lydia’s voice is perfect for it (as it is for an awful lot of other characters and their songs, if we’re being real😁).

[@LydiatheBard]

Why did the artist and you have to both decide to make the crab alluring? With the powerful, sensual voice and that picture. Genius .

They had to try to match tamatoas natural beauty

[@Agueybana1978]

*WHEEZE*

[@OldKnightSai]

This feels SO different like this. Like it's Maoi's ex-girlfriend who heart he broke in hi sown arrogance. And now she's back and breaming with self confidence.

[@firephoenix3961]

Actually this is a pretty good concept though do you think this ex would have learned to have the ability shapeshift like Maui?

[@liamjacques5335]

This is incredible! And that artwork, I picture her as a Witch Queen of her own kingdom with her kingdom being everything in the dark like Cecaelia like Ursula that want to be shiny like the mermaids that see them as monsters and ugly with their queen making them shiny and tricking the Mermaids and such so they become Polyps as a lesson with the Witchqueen being Ceto, mother of sea monsters

I loved this song when Moana first came out and you just made it SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks Lydia ❤

[@swetuski]

This is the song you play when you face off with that Ex who dared call you ugly an leave you, only for you to come back looking like an absolute goddess while their scraping by. Shine you beautiful star Shine

[@JabamiLain]

Well, yes, but some of the lyrics also imply she looks down on those who don't scrub the deck like she does, implying she's still ashamed and is unable of accepting who she used to be, even if it might have had good parts to it.

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

I love you both, thanks for writing this

[@bloodmoon0205]

Your voice is beautiful and the artwork you used is gorgeous too!

[@HART-sk3bz]

I feel like this version of the story would be that this fellow demi lady loved Maui but was rejected by him, so she glams herself up, making her "shiny" through dastardly ways, (possiblely by taking the items from the humans that Maui loves) when rejected again after the transformation that she thought would win Maui's love, she breaks inside realizing she'd never win his love over the humans, so her goal becomes to get his fish hook and the heart.

[@JabamiLain]

Nice story.

[@HART-sk3bz]

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS JUST GORGEOUS OMG!!!! Me listening to this at 1am and no regrets. My ears and eyes have been blessed ❤😊

[@RavenSutcliffe]

I was not expecting to be thirsting for Tamatoa today. I should have xD Man, your voice is so glam, very suited to the whole glitzy vibe of this. You sound like Tamatoa actually managed to make himself that glamorous instead of tacky. Both the voice and the artwork are giving me Ideas about a vid I've been wanting to make for a long time now...

[@the_crystal_artist8873]

Man.. I you told me you were secretly a siren, I would totally believe it. Your voice is gorgeous!!!

[@Emmieloo04]

Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam I was a drab little crab once Now I know I can be happy as a clam Because I'm beautiful, baby Did your granny say listen to your heart Be who you are on the inside I need three words to tear her argument apart Your granny lied I'd rather be Shiny Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck Scrub the deck and make it look Shiny I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck Just a sec Don't you know Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb They chase anything that glitters (beginners) Oh, and here they come, come, come To the brightest thing that glitters Mmm, fish dinners I just love free food (free food) And you look like seafood (seafood) Well, well, well Little Maui's having trouble with his look You little semi-demi-mini-god Ouch! What a terrible performance Get the hook (get it?) You don't swing it like you used to, man Yet I have to give you credit for my start And your tattoos on the outside For just like you I made myself a work of art I'll never hide, I can't, I'm too Shiny Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough Strut my stuff, my stuff is so Shiny Send your armies but they'll never be enough My shell's too tough Maui man, you could try, try, try But you can't expect a demi-god To beat a decapod (look it up) You will die, die, die Now it's time for me to take apart Your aching heart Far from the ones who abandoned you Chasing the love of these humans Who made you feel wanted You tried to be tough But your armour's just not hard enough Maui Now it's time to kick your Hiney Ever seen someone so Shiny Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see C'est la vie mon ami I'm so Shiny Now I'll eat you, so prepare your final plea Just for me You'll never be quite as shiny You wish you were nice and Shiny
