I genuinely thought Video Games was a FAR INFERIOR version of Jar Of Hearts up until literrally now. But I can now see the light and I NEED this in my life right now. :wub:

 

The BJSC MP3 clearly did it no justice of any sort...

 

 

Jar Of Hearts - are you serious!!!!!! - that song is dreadful and is a rehash of the equally dreadful Halo by Beyonce (pure XFactor fodder)

 

I think Video Games is in an entirely different league.

Yes, I'm serious.

It does still sound similar to Jar Of Hearts (not so much Halo imo), but you are quite right in your belief of this being brilliant. :wub:

Halo is nothing like Jar Of Hearts is nothing like Video Games.

"Jar Of Hearts" is an inoffensive bland borefest.. whereas this is interesting, completely different to a lot of what is popular in the charts at the moment and comes complete with a Belinda Carlisle reference as well as beautiful harp, strings, piano and subtle drums.

 

I will be buying the EP at midnight tonight. #LetsStopTheWantedGettingToNumber1

This has become the first single that I have ever pre-ordered on iTunes. Fingers crossed it will do well next week and make the top 5.

I can't see it missing top 5. I don't mind Lightning but I'd be ecstatic if it beat The Wanted tbh :wub: #fartoohopeful

It's been a long time since I've wanted a song to do well so badly as Video Games! I'm considering blowing the whole £25 prize money from the anniversary competitions on it! I've got a bit too obsessed with her this past week! :lol: I've got a really bad feeling that everyone is over-estimating how well it will do, I reckon it could well go just top 20 next week :(

If it 'does a Rumer' and goes low top 20 despite MASSIVE pre-orders, I will actually die :(

I'm still happy it's going top 40! :lol: I reckon it will grow in popularity though, I'm not really sure how well-known it is outside the internet community.

Same tbh, but with the blow up in popularity (huge pre-orders, Radio 1 A-Listing, 6Music are raping it) I've become VERY set in the frame of mind that it will soon be a huge hit.

If you want to gift the song to me feel free :kink: I like it, but I'm not sure enough to buy it yet. Maybe in a month.

 

They finally paid out the prizes for the anniversary comp btw :o :cheer:

Well it's already top 40 on iTunes, that's good :cheer:

It's also number 1 on the album chart. It's only £1.79 for four songs, although 2 are remixes.

I'm in love with this song on 3rd listen :wub: something so different about it

Prediction coming true :cry:

I think it might grow and grow rather than just peaking and bombing now. The A Team initially fell and then rebounded and had huge longevity. No reason this can't do the same.

She is like Florence (and the Machine) when she was good!

Love love love.

Bombay Bicycle Club and Lucy Rose covered 'Video Games' in Fearne's Live Lounge today...

 

I'm utterly obsessed with 'Video Games' right now, so much soul, depth, emotion. I like the other tracks I've heard of her too, she's showing herself to be one of the most promising artists in a LONG time to me. I can't wait for the album.
