January 15, 201411 yr An instant hit with me on the first listen. Absolutely adore it and it's incredibly instant. Maybe I need to take the loon glasses off seeing as both singers would rank in my all time top ten favourite artists...
January 15, 201411 yr I still think the only things saving this from being a total bland fest is Rihanna's verse and the middle 8. The chorus is so weak.
January 15, 201411 yr I still think the only things saving this from being a total bland fest is Rihanna's verse and the middle 8. The chorus is so weak. I don't get why Rihanna's verse is better than Shakira's? They're pretty much identical. IMO, Rihanna doesn't really add much to this song. Not she sounds bad, she sounds great - but there's not much dynamic between the two singers. It could very easily be a solo song. I'm assuming she's just there as a big name draw because Shakira does struggle to get a hit.

Maybe I need to take the loon glasses off seeing as both singers would rank in my all time top ten favourite artists... Keep those loon glasses on! This was excellent on first listen, so much better than 'Air Balloon' and infinitely more amazing than 'Can't Rely On You'. :wub:

This was excellent on first listen, so much better than 'Air Balloon' and infinitely more amazing than 'Can't Rely On You'. :wub: :yahoo: That doesn't say much considering they are completely different artists. The real question is, is it better than : Lady Gaga/Christina Beyonce/Shakira Britney Spears/Rihanna And for me the answer is no (except maybe for "Beautiful liar" if we don't count the Freemasons remix). There was so much potential between those two and I think it lacks chemistry and the ooomph factor.

There was so much potential between those two and I think it lacks chemistry and the ooomph factor. I was comparing it to the other songs, which all premiered on the same day. As others have done too. Since you've picked out on my comparison though, I fail to see what relevance this song has to the 'Do What U Want' remix, considering it's a completely different style of pop song, and neither of the artists perform on this track...

Because they are all duets between huge solo global mainstream females. So it makes more sense to compare this song with them, rather than with the likes of Paloma Faith and Lily on their own.
January 15, 201411 yr Everything on earth is better than the horrendous S&M "REMIX" with Fluney. Whatever but the song on its own is pure pop orgasm, so even with Britney on it, it is still so much stronger than CRTFY.

So it makes more sense to compare this song with them, rather than with the likes of Paloma Faith and Lily on their own. But your point for my comparison 'not saying much' was that they were completely different artists, which is the same for Lady Gaga and Christina. But I see the reasoning for your comparison, listened to this again, still brilliant!
January 21, 201411 yr The video for this is needed right now before it bombs down the chart for good.
January 29, 201411 yr Music video out around 2am tonight (tomorrow morning) apparently. Hoping it can be something great to save it chart wise.
January 30, 201411 yr From the teaser I've seen it's gonna be an other over-sexualised video with no storyline and not much going on. I still hope we won't get 3 minutes of them half-naked banging their ass against a wall. Shakira deserves better than just that. Here is the trailer btw, can't find the whole video : Edited January 30, 201411 yr by Hayzayy
January 30, 201411 yr Ugh. I hope they're randomly just trailing the most uninspired part of the video.
January 30, 201411 yr The teaser bit looks like a tacky version of Shakira and Beyoncé copying each others moves in Beautiful Liar
January 31, 201411 yr Here is the video people...They look pretty amazing! Especially RiRi o3mP3mJDL2k
