1. Scou… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least five singers and two groups named Sonia.
1. Scouse songstress Sonia Evans shot to fame as a bubbly, ginger-haired, giggly popstrel with the Stock Aitken Waterman stable. Her debut single "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" made number one on the UK chart, and the debut album "Everybody Knows" made top ten. Further hits followed including "Can't Forget You", "Listen To Your Heart", "Counting Every Minute" and "End Of The World".
Sonia then changed labels, enjoying further hits with "Only Fools (Never Fall In Love)", "You To Me Are Everything", and "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy".
Famously represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she came second, losing on the last vote to Niamh Kavanagh's "In Your Eyes" after the Malta jury awarded douze points to the latter.
Sonia appeared on the ITV show "Reborn In The USA" where she famously clashed with seventies sparklers Dollar.
In 2007, a Greatest Hits album was released - an album that mysteriously omitted all of Sonia's Stock, Aitken, Waterman era material.
Sonia continues to tour and make TV appearances. Her stage and screen career has included stints in the West End ('Grease' alongside Shane Richie) and on the BBC sitcome 'Bread'. Sonia was also famously parodied by Dawn French in the 'Star Test' section of the French & Saunders show.

Sonia Evans (born February 13, 1971), better known as just Sonia, is an English pop singer from Liverpool, who was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Her singing career was launched by the music producing trio Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989. She was signed after badgering Pete Waterman to listen to her sing outside the recording studio in Liverpool. Evans has her soft husky bartitonal contralto voice. Waterman did a regular weekly radio broadcast. He called her bluff and had her sing live on his show, and she later had several hits in the UK Singles Chart over the following years, including the UK number one single "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" and a hit "You've Got a Friend" (credited to Big Fun & Sonia featuring Gary Barnacle), plus some other Top 20 hit singles, including "Can't Forget You" and "You To Me Are Everything".
She also sang the Dean Collinson and Red composition "Better The Devil You Know" for Britain in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, where she finished in second place.
In 2003, Evans took part in the reality television show Reborn in the USA, but was voted off in its fifth week.
In January 2007 she starred in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, as Jack in Horsham, West Sussex, alongside Mark Currie.
2. Sonia Szklanowska (born in Warsaw, Poland), known simply as Sonia is a Polish singer and influencer. She is the finalist of the second Polish edition of "Hotel Paradise". The charismatic participant was remembered by the fans of the program, and after all by the supporters who follow her actions on social media. Her Instagram account has over 200,000 followers
3. Sonia Rutstein, a.k.a. SONiA, is one half of the sister duo disappear fear, an American folk/power pop band formed in Baltimore in 1987. They released four albums, then in 1996, Cindy Rutstein ceased playing regularly with the band in order to become a mother but occasionally still performs with them. Sonia Rutstein started a solo career (as "SONiA"). Her lyrics often address GLBT rights and other progressive political causes. Her 2004 CD No Bomb is Smart was nominated for a Grammy, in spite of, or perhaps because of its outspoken opposition to current US foreign policy. Since its release, she has been campaigning as a recording artist against SoundExchange's (and RIAA's) efforts to dramatically increase fees to small webcasters. Her website http://www.soniadf.com has more information on all the above projects. SONiA's most recent solo album is http://www.last.fm/music/Sonia+Rutstein/No+Bomb+Is+Smart.

Interestingly, they sang both the original Japanese version as well as an English version that was used in the English-dubbed version of the anime. Additionally, they have also released an album, "天地無用! SONIA WONDERLAND," which contains a full CD-length version of the theme song as well as other works from Jun and Boogie.

End Of The World
Sonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cos you don't love me any more
Oh, why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Oh, why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said...goodbye
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The opening lines of Sonia's song "End Of The World" express a sense of disbelief and confusion at the world's continued existence in the absence of love. The repeated question "why" highlights the singer's search for meaning and understanding in a world that no longer makes sense to her. The reference to the sun and sea, natural phenomena that are typically associated with life and vitality, underscore the singer's feelings of despair and hopelessness. The chorus further emphasizes the finality of the situation, asserting that the world as the singer knew it has come to an end now that she has lost the love of her life.

How stuck can someone be in their nostalgia bias to not feel the lushness of emotion in Sonia's version of this song ??
Sonia's version gives the song a beautiful lush treatment in terms of music production and her vocals ...... its something that the older versions lack, its a modern and wonderful re-imagination of the song ...
The musch older versions with Skeeter Davis and Brenda Lee's singing were more suited to the older generation's style of intonations, while they were strong vocals, they were more targeted at that certain mid western culture ...
In terms of singing, Sonia has an amazing unique ability to draw out her vocals to evoke a melancholic emotion of longing which elevates the song to an ethereal and elegant realm ...
Sonia's vocals are as powerful as Skeeter Davis and Brenda Lee's, they are just strong in their own unique ways .....
By the way, I'm not even a fan of Sonia's ... I have not even listened to another song of hers aside from this ... but I intend to ...
@richardmacken9410
Absolutely breathtaking song,Great vocals,one of Sonias best.
@fionascott6493
Sonia has an amazing, very underrated voice. Such power. But beautiful softness to her voice too. And visually I find her quite captivating. I've seen her live last December at the Christmas switch on and she was amazing. The crowd knew all her songs. She looked fab. Love her and Kylie too. And Jason, and Rick and all the other SAW acts. Hazel Dean whose leaving who?
@gazza2933
Underrated was definitely the right word Fiona.
@ibnufitra1601
The music, the ambience it creates, and the magical voice of the singer make this version as the best one.
@MT-ij1kg

@dana.1546
This is the best version of this classic song. Sonia's voice is amazing here. I can't hear this song sung by anybody else than her now. Even the instrumentation by Stock/Aitken/Waterman is very classy. Nice music video too. Very moving song in all aspects.

@paulbradley705
the combination of keys and strings is hypnotic, one of the best covers from any saw act.
