This is the song she needed to recapture the casual mainstream fans! Such a smash. And this is coming from somebody who really can't stand her.

That moment R Kelly hit's that note ... And you get tingles because it's that awesome.

I am beyond ecstatic to see this as a single. It's one of her best songs period.

I don't think she sounds like Mariah, but there's an obvious R&B approach to her vocals on this song. I've always liked when she sings like this, so I'm glad we're getting it on a single finally.

Hopefully people will go nuts over this because it's finally a more "normal" song for her

Not really upset w/this decision. It's blowing up on iTunes ATM & should definitely jump on this while it's hot.

Has she commented on how R. Kelly became apart of this song? I'm curious to know...

I think this is a good move. It feels like a surefire hit and even if Venus is one too, it can always be 3rd.

Smart move. Reminds me a lot of TF/TFM and its been getting critical acclaim from critics.
I think it'll smash.

The chorus reminds me of "Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)." I like it, strong follow-up to "Applause."

So....in a matter of a two weeks we've had Gypsy, Venus and now Do What U Want as the supposed 2nd single. The label clearly has no fucking idea what to do next and they're biting at the iTunes indication because they think that makes it a safe bet. I really enjoy this song because it's taking it back to being a simple, good pop song like the content that broke her through with The Fame. Like a lot of artists, she forgot what made her successful in the first place. This song is a step in the right direction, even if the rest of her album isn't going to be.

So... this is the next single with "Venus" being scrapped as a radio single and being released as just a promo single next week?

This gives me "So Happy I Could Die" vibes. I absolutely love it, and R. Kelly's verse is so breezy. Great track!

Where do you see it #1 in the UK ??? I just clarified the original post, but not all of those #1s happened simultaneously. In the UK, Lorde took back the throne pretty quickly.

Sorry, I can't get over being completely grossed out by R. Kelly's past combined with the lyrics of this song. /o\
