I do like this, but I've decided that there are a few better songs on the last album that I prefer - "I Kissed A Girl", "Hot N Cold", "Waking Up In Vegas", "One Of The Boys", "Self Inflicted" & "Thinking Of You" are all better IMO

Amazing cover! :o Gah. 3 great covers in one day :wub:

 

Cannot wait for the video, and I agree with those who say Snoop adds nothing. Snoop is well overrated.

LOVE THAT COVER. :wub:

I really hope this does well. ^_^ It's pretty early to predict but I think top ten is more or less certain, its just where about in the top ten really.

:wub: LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! :heart:

 

EDIT: Its been bugging me all day what song i think it sounds like and i've just remembered, Britney - Trouble :D :wub:

This is amazing :wub: It's being hyped up as this year's I Gotta Feeling (sucsess wise)

Im not sure. I cant help but feel just a tad dissapointed that it isnt quite as brilliant as Hot N Cold was but it's a decent enough effort - im not sure if i'd say its good enough to stop her suffering a bit from 2nd album syndrome though.

 

I think its a grower though - I really started prefering it more towards the end. And I look forward to hearing a Snop-less version. He's more of an irritation than anything.

Not heard anything from Jark. I don't think he likes it :lol: Which is a bit weird as I thought he'd love it haha.

I lurrv this, but I can't help but feel how POINTLESS it was adding Snoop Dogg onto it. :mellow: He's an aging figure in music, and he's hardly going to make her sexy, danceable song better, so it was a silly idea inviting him along imo, and he ruins the chorus with his quiet "rapping" noises. :( But overrall; YAY for Katy! She's back! :heart:

I've heard better but it's pretty awesome ^_^ Like others have said all 4 of her last singles plus recent collabs and one or two albie tracks are better.

That is all until the official version leaks.

I can't say how lucky Russell is to have a girl like Katy. :wub:

The finished version has already been released.

It has? I must've read the wrong page then :heehee:

I've just heard this played this morning on Radio 2's Jonathan Ross show. :wub:

 

I love it. Immediate, catchy = a monster 2010 summer anthem.

 

Musically a cross between Ke$ha's Tick Tock meets Britney Spears' Trouble but somehow better than both songs.

 

The only downside being Snoop Dogg's rap which is not needed and adds nothing to the track IMHO.

I don't see how people will think this will flop.

 

It's not amazing, but it is extremely summery and Katy Perry has had some big hits whilst she's been away. That's a v.good sign.

 

Oh ans Snoop. You're all right, he doesn't add much to the song BUT he makes it cooler, and gives the song a bit of swaaaaaaag.

Despite seeing comparisons with "TiK ToK," from the first hearing I like it :) , and I think it can only grow on me as well. A nice summery hit and it could also be a club smash as well. I asbolutely adore the cover as well! :wub: Totally shows Katy Perry's underrated beauty!

Yeah I don't mind Snoop being on it at all. And Jon, I do love it! It took two listens and now I'm all over it like anthrax.

I am enjoying this more than I thought I would, after the "Tik Tok" comparisons. I really can't stand "Tik Tok" but I like this, it's better, but so is Katy. I don't think it's as good as any of her post-"I Kissed A Girl" singles, but it sounds catchy as heck. The funky twang does it for me.

 

Snoop Dogg doesn't exactly add a great deal, but he doesn't detract from the song either, it'd only be an instrumental bit in that section anyway. It doesn't need or rely on him but he's a nice addition.

has anyone heard the mash up? :heehee:

I don't really get the Snoop complaints. He's not really overrated because he's hardly regarded as a rap staple, and hasn't been for a long time. I think his inclusion makes the song a little more breezy, which I think was their aim.

Anyway, it's a really strong, summery pop song. I've never been interested in Katy as an artist before, so I think this is my favorite track of her by default.
