Ah ok, I thought someone at the start of this thread said it was Tedder. RedOne producing a ballad explains the naffness. He's only good at ballads when he's using synth steel drums.

This is rubbish. It has the naff late 80s/early 90s power ballad sound that Battlefield has. Ryan Tedder needs to realise there is a limit to how many synth strings you can put in one song.

This was in the Guardian today. Just thought it was quite funny: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/pudsack/img005.jpg

Yeah, she just made me fall in love with her even more! Also, very surprised she's not familiar with Lene Lovich. Bird Song is so similar to Mowgli's Road!

Wish I Stayed is a bit $h!t. Other than that, I've only got Starry Eyed and Under The Sheets but I love them both. I don't think I'll listen to anymore, it'll probably make the album more enjoyable. I saw her live just before Christmas supporting Little Boots and every song she played was amazing so I have high hopes for this album.

Chipmunk pretty much ruins any credibility this song would've had. Also, when Chipmunk does this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/pudsack/small.jpg Does it remind anyone else of when women do this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/pudsack/speedad_narrowweb__300x4300.jpg Is he trying to tell us something?

This'll probably be really big. It's catchy and there's a lack of big releases now.

It's quite nice to see Video Phone failing to take off. Just proves you can't polish a turd.

Florence and the Machine - Kiss With A Fist

This is good but I prefer this Echo: fLEvYaWiSrY

It's about time. She was so ahead of her time.

Eugh. This will only work as a single if it has a great video and gets lots of airplay...which could be possible but after DIA...I doubt it.

Is it just me or does she look a bit dodgy in that picture?

I've stopped caring about this era now. A flop is a flop and all you can do is sit back and enjoy the music.

I think so, I've read it quoted as that a few times. I guess there's not many people that actually know the truth.

The best track on the album is the Jet song. Love it. I still think the non-Nelly version of Morning After Dark is the superior version. Nelly offers nothing to the track. She's just pasted in because Timabaland + Nelly makes people wet themselves.

I've just got Hollywood on repeat now. Amazing.

Seriously, that performance was terrible. Simulated blow jobs, pulling the keyboard player, flipping the bird and falling over.

Eeek...only 200 000 worldwide. She Wolf is hardly tearing up the charts. Listen to an unreleased track that you should be able to get when the US version is released: http://www.twitvid.com/1C6B6

http://www.thetimbalandbuzz.com/2009/11/sh...t-flo-rida.html Flo Rida version. Rubbish. Actually glad it's Lil Wayne on the final track.

Just thought I'd post this performance because her vocals here are amazing! She absolutely kills the second verse. StLttcGvWtQ

The thing is, at the moment, DIA has nothing to support it. The video is hardly getting played and it's not getting much radio airplay either. The only thing on its side is the X factor performance. I think the problem is the release date. Radio 1 adding it now is pretty typical for its December release. In reality, the song should've been released this week or next week and the video should've been released weeks before it was so that it was peaking now. As it is, the X factor performance is more like debuting the song.

Yay! It's on course to be a decent hit now!

Woooo Shakira! Hopefully the song will get the airplay it needs now to send it top 10.
