jeez, what a mess
― Number None, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 13:51 (ten years ago) link
sounds like they just slapped a couple of unrelated acapellas on top of a third-rate knockoff of the Niggas in Paris beat

I think I like this. Mostly for the pre-chorus(?).

ok i've only heard it once and "UH. you're thirsty. UH. you're thirsty." is basically embedded in my head forever

i'm resigned to none of these singles being hits but i'm pretty optimistic about this album given her last few and the people who worked on this one
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:18 (ten years ago) link
the lack of hits hasn't correlated with the quality of her music since like 2005 so i'm not really awaiting that smash single either
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:21 (ten years ago) link
i mean, e=mc2 was packed with hits and she still managed to mostly fuck the campaign up, then memoirs pretty explicitly didn't aim for hits, so it's a moot point really
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:22 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, Emancipation was imo the least interesting of the last five albums, including Christmas Part II.

"Beautiful" went platinum though. It's kind of a hit. Not a smash, but casual radio listeners are aware of it. #81 for the year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_2013 so it's about as much of a hit as "Adorn" or "Swimming Pools."
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:36 (ten years ago) link
I've heard it at bars.
well sure, it got out there a bit. it's just being measured against, y'know, 18 career #1s and a gigantic comeback less than a decade ago.
― some dude, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:41 (ten years ago) link
yeah of course. i guess i'm just always surprised how many people are aware of it considering it didn't place Top 10, compared to songs that no one remembers that actually achieved single-digit status.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:45 (ten years ago) link
let's not forget Obsessed climbing up to #7 when Memoirs came out! weeeee!
― surm, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:47 (ten years ago) link
i remember obsessed spending several weeks at #11 before airplay finally pushed it to #7 and finding it very funny
― dyl, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 23:26 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah and this new song is garbage, what a waste of such a #buzzworthy title
― dyl, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 23:27 (ten years ago) link
"#Beautiful" significantly outlasted its chart run on radio here

"One More Try" is a cover of George Michael's 1988 single of the same name.
;,)

!!
now that i listened to this song a bit, i feel like it's done what triumphant was trying to do better. but if it really wanted to be a flat out kickass song, she woulda focuzed on the "u tryin to be a boss now" hook in a major way.
― surm, Thursday, 15 May 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
probably that should have been the chorus, and the chorus shoulda been the bridge. crazy hot hook.
― surm, Thursday, 15 May 2014 23:20 (ten years ago) link

priceless performance on the Today Show - a new song! 'You Don't Know What To Do' (dunno the official title off the top of my head)
plus Heidi Klum in the audience. killer. it's the 2nd clip down.
