Story Behind The Song
Vacillating between wanting to get her face tweaked and realizing she's perfect just the way she is, Janice's song is her triumph over Hollywood's grip on dictating beauty standards to our society, but knowing she still wants to be beautiful. What's a girl to do? Write about it. The Awesome Dave Aude' was chosen as the Godfather to give 'Wanna Be Beautiful' his Midas touch. Twisted Dee whipped up a whirling dervish Tribal mix. DJ Escape gives us retro house. Earl Slick (The Eons, David Bowie's touring guitar player of 20 years) creates a true hybrid with his biting rock guitar over Pezza's electro stems.

Lyrics
I don't want fake tits
I don't want injected lips
I don't want to look like a Barbie doll
I will not be a slave to a beauty status quo
I'm into being who I am
I'm like nobody else
If you don't like the way I look
that's OK with me
you call it supernatural I call it superfreak
I'm not about to fit your mold
Well we all want to be something beautiful
Cause we all know what it means
But it's not like what it seems
Money isn't everything
There's more than meets the eye
When we look down deep inside
We all wanna be beautiful
V2
I am not a supermodel
I am not a wet dream
I am not another would be clone
I got my own look
Originality
keeping what nature gave to me
what you get is what you see
I'm like nobody else
If you don't like the way I look
that's OK with me
you call it super natural I call it superfreak
I'm not about to fit your mold
Well we all want to be something beautiful
Cause we all know what it means
But it's not like what it seems
Money isn't everything
There's more than meets the eye
When we look down deep inside
We all wanna be beautiful
