I actually heard IRL negativity about this before listening, which is surprising because I don't normally get that (and was planning to avoid this until I heard that).

 

Ariana can live, even though it's nowhere near her best performance. The rest is a big mess though. With Griff/Michael/other haters on this one.

Here's Jessie performing the song acoustically, it really sounds great! :wub:

 

^ Okay, that performance is very impressive :o. Don't know why I watched that because I don't particularly like the song and Jessie herself is highly irritating both as a performer and generally as a human being so I guess something must have possessed me :unsure:. That video shows how incredibly talented she is as a vocalist and her manic movements and exaggerated facial expressions were actually appropriate for the song so they didn't bother me that much. I'm still nowhere near a fan (although I do like 'Wild') but credit where credit's due.

I like that she toned down the vocals in the verses, so THAT middle 8 note had even more impact. She really is one of the UK's best vocalists!

That acoustic version is AMAZING!

I listened to this for the first time today. My poor ears are broken.

That acoustic is absolutely incredible! The build up on the middle 8 and that big note was soooo good. Definitely fallen in love with this song. :wub:

Just checking, do you find the song to be "screechy"? :rolleyes:

 

OMG YES!!

 

 

It's so SCREEECH!! :puke2: :puke2:

Welcome to the Buffy-Charmed Alliance Club B-)

Bumping this because I really unexpectedly love it, Jessie's best single since Price Tag easily, hope it gives her a huge smash. Love Nicki's verse on it too! That hook is such an earworm and the production is fantastic.

Need the video for this ASAP

There opening the VMA's with this on Sunday and the video is set to be premiered sometime after the VMA's.

I've heard 3 performers for the opening of the VMA's already, so I really don't know what to believe :lol:

Jessie (possibly) opening the VMA's :o? Amazing how quickly fortunes can change.

This pretty much confirms they are

Well I wouldn't say it confirms them opening, but it does confirm their presence. Are those video snippets tho?!

 

Edit: The song has grown massively!

I completely missed that for some reason?

Ariana is definitely opening the VMAs, I just watched Sunday's episode of BB US and her brother is in it and he got a letter from home, it was her and she said she was opening the VMAs :P

Behind The Scenes of The Video

 

I was wanting a superhero themed video :lol:
