This songs vulgarity is what makes it so good......the radio version takes that away. Almost like "Forget You", but that song was good enough to overcome that. Not saying this song isn't good, but the radio edit really takes A LOT away from it.

From Lloyd's Twitter:
August 24
recoding alternate versions of "dedication" at the Palms in Vegas. Apparently, you can't say P**** on the radio (wack!). Any suggestions?

This is such a blatant attempt to recreate "Fuck You" it's not even funny. You can almost hear the executives' thought process... "we need to get Lloyd a pop hit... let's rip off that Cee-Lo song, make it more explicit and repeat the word pussy over and over, the kids still use that right?... that's that sorted, lunch?".
The problem with it is that it completely misses the point of a lot of what made "Fuck You" so excellent. The lyrics are pointlessly vulgar and it's not pleasant. However, a song that's even a fraction of as good as "Fuck You" is still decent, and depending on the radio edit this is a smash waiting to happen.

Whereas the radio edit of "Fuck You" neutered the song and made it almost unbearable to listen to (its inescapability didn't help, either), the radio edit of "Dedication to My Ex" really classes it up and makes it fun to listen to, as opposed to the mind-numbing trash of the explicit version. |

I wonder if this will match the success of his previous Pop singles.

I don't get why he's yet to be dropped.
Nowadays some artists are so irrelevant it's not even funny.

I love & hate this. It's an enjoyable song to jam out to but pussy theme is a huge turn off.

When I heard it, I had the volume down low and thought it was Michael Jackson at first, hehe. |

Just heard this now, love it so much! I agree that the vulgarity is unnecessary and it is pretty much a recreation of 'F**k You,' but it's still really hot and so catchy. Hopefully it gets somewhere!
