Ultimate Live Lounge ended with the Thirty Seconds to Mars cover of what Kanye West song as the winner?
Stronger (Kanye West song) "Stronger" is a song by American rapper Kanye West, released as the second single from his third studio album, "Graduation" (2007). The production was handled by West, with an extended outro co-produced with Mike Dean. The composition is electronic in nature, employing synthesizers as its prominent instrument. For the track, West utilizes a vocoder-affected vocal sample of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by French house duo Daft Punk. On "Stronger", West speaks about the resolve that comes when one is faced with adversity, with lyrics at the song's refrain that paraphrase Friedrich Nietzsche's famous dictum, "What does not kill him, makes him stronger." West also describes "Stronger" as an "emancipation", using the track to vent his frustration over mistakes he made in the past year.
Heard 'Em Say "Heard 'Em Say" is a song by American hip-hop artist Kanye West. It was released on November 8, 2005 as the third single for his second studio album, "Late Registration". The song features Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, who sings the chorus and bridge. West co-produced the track with Jon Brion, and it contains excerpts from "Someone That I Used to Love" as performed by Natalie Cole. The song was met by acclaim from contemporary music critics and is often seen as one of West's best. The refrain of "Heard 'Em Say" was later recycled for the Maroon 5 song "Nothing Lasts Forever" which appears on their 2007 album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long".
