December 9, 201410 yr Fleur East has had to apologise to Mark Ronson for him having to release the song a month early. Simon Cowell should be the one doing the apologies. He chose for Fleur to sing "Uptown Funk" so therefore, it's his fault Apparently he got permission to use it, as they were waiting to see if they can use it, I remember he was saying about it on the show last week

Im sure Mark Ronson is praising Fleur for the amount of promo she gave it!
December 9, 201410 yr I thought Fleur picked it and he agreed? It's always the mentors who choose what song their act has to sing
December 10, 201410 yr Simon said on Xtra Factor that someone recommended it to him the Sunday before so that's how they became aware of the song and the possibility of performing it - but by then judging by the VT on the live show, it wasn't until Friday when Simon decided to actually go for the song instead of 'Super Bass'.

Im guessing that is when he got the call that said: 'OK you have the permission to used the song'
December 10, 201410 yr Regardless of how or why this came to be released early, it's a great record and I'm pleased to see it's going to be #1. I can see this being to 2015 what 'Happy' has been to this year.
December 10, 201410 yr Dude(ette?!?!) that was a JOKE that fleur did in an interview. It was just for giggles nothing serious. Im sure Mark Ronson is praising Fleur for the amount of promo she gave it! And because of her, it's on course to be #1 this Sunday
December 10, 201410 yr Why is Bruno so excellent on up beat tracks, and so meh with ballads? Anyways this is great.
December 10, 201410 yr Author They were booked to perform this on the X Factor Final but pulled out which is why Fleur was given the go-ahead to sing it later last week. http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/Dead/DeadBanana.gif
December 10, 201410 yr Why is Bruno so excellent on up beat tracks, and so meh with ballads? Anyways this is great. I would agree if it wasn't for this, the glowing exception which for me is his best track. :wub: W-w3WfgpcGg
December 10, 201410 yr I would agree if it wasn't for this, the glowing exception which for me is his best track. :wub: W-w3WfgpcGg Love this. Does Grenade count as a ballad? Because I adore that. Anyway, as much as I'm jamming to Uptown Funk right now. I worry about how sick I'll be of it by this time next year.
December 11, 201410 yr They were booked to perform this on the X Factor Final but pulled out which is why Fleur was given the go-ahead to sing it later last week. http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/Dead/DeadBanana.gifWell, that's just a bit of a shame really, isn't it?! :drama: I assume that's why she was going to do 'Super Bass', before them pulling out then! Why did they pull out, do we know?
December 11, 201410 yr I would agree if it wasn't for this, the glowing exception which for me is his best track. :wub: W-w3WfgpcGg OKAY. That is an exception. I love that track. BUT BESIDES THAT. This and Locked Out Of Heaven >>>>>>>>>
December 12, 201410 yr Finally got around to listening to this version; shoot me but I prefer Fleur's. The video setting looks a bit like the set where The Saturdays filmed the video for Higher! :lol:
December 12, 201410 yr Author BUT BESIDES THAT. This and Locked Out Of Heaven >>>>>>>>> Mark Ronson is the key to his good singles then :magic:
December 22, 201410 yr Author Last week it became the first song to be streamed over 2 million times in the UK, helping it to sell a phenomenal 180,000! :D
May 2, 201510 yr BIllboard has confirmed Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk has now added the members of the Gap Band on the writers credits because of a similarity with the 2 singles Oops Upside your head was a Top 10 hit back in 1980. Check out both tracks> Uptown Funk OPf0YbXqDm0 Oops Upside Your Head JlMIzAl_nDo
May 2, 201510 yr yeah I heard the similarities on the first listen, such an obvious sample. was surprised they didn't get any sort of credit and thought it was a lawsuit waiting to happen
