i have just stopped to think that every time a video like this comes out, thousands of people come along and say 'this sucks' etc, but if one person goes on an AC/DC video (for example) and says its bad it turns into a massive flame war.
Honestly, this sounds exactley like everything else on MTV. I have no doubt she will go far she seems to have all the negative qualities listed in her song tht all the latest hits have. I am pissed my phrase "swagger like McJagger" can no longer be used though.
To all American people viewing this thread, this is an accurate representation of most of the shit that is in British radio on a regular basis, albeit slightly worse. Yeah, only slightly...Flying Dagger said:
Wow...did anyone else notice the tune for 'oh my darling clementine' in there??
"Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling clementine" that one.I'm astounded by the sheer volume of pop and r'n'b songs at the moment that are mixing old/classic tunes and lyrics into their songs. The black eyed peas do it often...as do JLS. Maybe they're consciously trying to be postmodern, pastiching these iconic tunes and lyrics to make their songs somehow more marketable and ironic.
However, the irony comes from the fact that bastardising these iconic elements makes their tracks even shitter. I don't know...but when a rock band do the same thing, it seems to work, especially if the band is notoriously tongue-in-cheek with their lyrics. The style of Cher's song just makes the 'oh my darling clementine' part seem out of place, just like the Black Eyed Peas inclusion of "i'm having the time of my life" in one of their songs...
As for the haters thing...I don't care what people do or do not hate. Opibnions are opinions and people will always try to change your's if it clashes with theirs'.

Yes I did. It's probably the first thing I noticed, besides the late 80's and 90's vomiting the look of this video up. And I also wanted to quote you because you have an Aku Aku avatar. ^_^Tips_of_Fingers said:
Oh she did not befoul Clementine.
OT: "Haters Gonna Hate" is a legitimate argument, but that doesn't mean it's a get out of jail free for anything. It justifies liking something, but it doesn't mean something is good in any form.

just as with "Friday" the singer's voice was extreamly altered so she might be good and she might not be, but the more likely possibility when you HAVE to alter the voice this much is that she probably isn't...
as for the actual song: meh, have heard worse, and I have definetly heard better. it is not unique or particualry catchy.

I always thought the saying for people stealing your style and rhymes was swagger jacker. How do you jag someone's material? jacking sounds more proper to me. Maybe I'm comparing it too much to a biter. It's kinda funny cause her dress style and song remind of some Asian pop idols with a hip hop influence.
Wow. All I need is the still image for the video, the name of the song and the name of the person for me to say I hate it.
Alright boys come on out! We got another witch hunt!

You need massive amounts of ego to pull this off.Flying Dagger said:
This is.... pure bred shit.
Wow.
As long as there is a demand there will always be someone there to supply it. Therefore if people stop listening to this shit, people will stop making similar shit.
It isn't the new Friday. It is awful, but Friday had a quirky 'so bad its good' vibe, and the lyrics were just ridiculous. This is just rubbish.
Its probably because they both have the same song writers. Both sang about haters with a flashy video, brillant use of originality from the video creators and song writers. Well done Will-i-am, out of how terrible this is, he will probably earn more moneyMorsePacific said:
I like how she just completely copied the tune for "Oh my darling, Clementine" for the chorus. Pretty much everything about this song just annoys me. The rapping is just awful and doesn't make any logical sense half of the time. The singing is just as bad which annoys me even more because I watched the X-factor and she can actually sing(look at the video of stay with me posted on the first page).
I'm going to need to listen to some heavy metal while bashing my head against my desk to rid myself of the memory of this song. Urgh.

Just finished listening to that song and I have to say, it's far from what you're making it out to be. Hell, Friday wasn't even that bad, judging from what little I've heard of the song.
Not to say it wasn't bland and monotonous, but it's far from the "worst song ever". Come on, now.

Pretty much this as well.StBishop said:
