Bad Hazel Blood
(Kelly Clarkson vs. Taylor Swift)
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes (Bermudez & Harris Remix)
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes (Bermudez & Harris Acapella) Taylor Swift - Bad Blood Taylor Swift - Bad Blood [acapella] Bastille - Bad Blood [acapella] First mashup request; first mashup to hit 100 plays on Soundcloud. After the "success" of my Light And Tears With Clarity mashup, my daughter asked me if I would make her a mashup of Taylor Swift's song, Bad Blood, which was new on the radio at the time. It took a few months between the request and the fulfillment of that request because I had no library of material to choose from, I had to "hear" the mashup in my head and then try to find the sources that would make the mashup happen. One day, while listening to some remixes of mine, I realized that the Bermudez & Harris remix of Behind These Hazel Eyes had the same beat pattern as Bad Blood. I checked to see if the two might work together (back then it didn't matter how far apart the key signatures were as long as the voices sounded believable) and it was a close-enough match. How I ever came up with the acapella of Bermudez remix version of Kelly's acapella for this one is beyond me, but I barely even used it in this mix, electing instead to go with the remix itself most of the time. Most of the Bad Blood parts are the full song as well. This mashup is almost unlistenable to me now. It has so many problems, and yet hundreds of people responded very favorably to it on Soundcloud. I had created a hit! This one will probably get a re-do at some point, but I want to preserve this version as a reminder of how far I've come as a mashup artist. This is really, REALLY challenged. Made with Audacity. |
