Catchy songs
we don’t want to catch
By Colleen Parker
Everyone has that one catchy song that they just said, “I like the ‘Happy’ song because the message is
cannot stand. Whether it’s “Happy,” “Friday,” or “Call ‘be happy.’ The ‘Friday’ song is entertaining.” Moss
Me Maybe,” there’s most likely a song that irks you and
never seems to go away.
Catchy songs are like clingy clothes; they’re
embarrassing and stick to you like glue.
Senior Josetta Ver said ‘Watch Me’ by Silento and
‘Planes’ by Jeremiah are some catchy songs she often
remembers. Sophomore Samantha Moss chose ‘Uma
Thurman’ by Fall Out Boy because “[it] is always on
the radio.” Cathy Van Valzah exclaimed, “‘Who Let the
Dogs Out!’ I absolutely hate that song! I don’t know why
commented, “Great the first time, after the fifth time
can’t stand them.”
Ver further explained, “The rhythm/the beat, [and]
the chorus because everyone sings the chorus,” makes
a song catchy. Moss thinks it’s “the song’s rhythm and
relatable lyrics” that make these tunes so attractive.
Whether you love these songs, or hate them with a
passion, they are certainly here to stay…..until the next
one is released!
BP student-selected catchy songs

The lights dimmed as
the remainder of the crowd
shuffled in, and performers
and audience members alike
chatted with excitement.
As the crowd quieted,
Collective Mind staff
members Yessica Bonilla and
Kaitlyn Commes stepped
out to start with the show.
After an inspiring speech by
the two co-editors and the
introduction from hosts Matt
Cooper and Lane Williams,
the show began! Cooper and
Williams definitely made sure
the crowd had something to
look forward to with amazing
comedy and silly small talk.
The first act, Amara
Bottleson, started the show
off on a good note… literally!
The crowd was pleased with
her performance of “Please
Don’t Say You Love Me” by
Gabrielle Aplin, and some
might say that she was too.
Student Expression Night
The next act, senior
Sean Thornton, was
definitely one to take
the crowd by surprise.
Thornton impressed the
crowd with a spoken word
song, the lyrics written in one
night by his own hand, and
the guitar chords written by
a friend. It started out quite
gravitating, and as he went
on, the emotion in his voice
grew, making it an uplifting
performance from beginning
to end.
“It took one night from 12
a.m. to 5 a.m. I had the lyrics
prewritten and my friend
pretty much just helped me
record it,” Thornton said.
Brooke Point’s drumline
also made an impact with
their school spirit, intense
drum beats, and energetic
performance!
Then, Bridget Saysay
took the stage, and as her
confidence grew, so did her
voice, which is why the crowd
gave her a huge round of
applause! After her bold and
emotional performance of

“Dark Side” by Kelly Clarkson,
the crowd remained starstruck
throughout the night.
“I actually had my younger
sisters as my audience and
just practiced over and over
and over again,” Saysay
stated.
The next act, junior
Ian Logan, was definitely
a showstopper. With his
stunning vocal and guitar
cover of “Budapest” by George
Ezra, the audience was in awe
of his performance.
Brooke Point’s jazz band
really got the crowd going
again after intermission.
With amazing solos, terrific
harmony, and spirited outfits
to top it off.
Michael Hatfield then
put on an astounding
performance by singing
Michael Jackson’s “Man in the
Mirror.” Everyone was quite
taken aback by his powerful
voice, and one just couldn’t
help but be pulled into the
melodic vibe. “I just really
wanted to see others perform
and express themselves so
An
Inside
Look
that I could audition and
express myself musically,”
Hatfield admitted.
Autumn Smock’s dance
to “Shooting Star” by Kari
Kimmel was definitely one to
be called breathtaking. The
two dance acts of the night
were quite different, but both
were very well done.
Last but not least was
Amber Marshall, and there
were tears among audience
members during this
beautiful performance. It
was a great way to end the
night - a night filled with
comedy, fun, emotion, beauty,
and performances from our
talented Black-Hawks.
