It kind of reminds me of an Amy Winehouse track at times. I don't love it but, I could see this doing well if given a chance.

I was with it until the chorus/pre-chorus.

Respectable week with 15 adds. Top ten most added. Probably not going anywhere too big, but it's not a complete disaster out of the gate.
I had the same reaction many of you did when I first saw the video - the setup of it, coupled with the somewhat ridiculous lyrics and the smug look on Meghan Trainor's face make it seem like a total joke. Reminded me of the horrific Karmin in the worst possible way.
But there is something to this when you actually listen to it. Not a must-listen tune, but it has its moments.

Don't mind it, but the chorus is a little whack. The throwback feel is kind of nice, and there's a few parts that are actually pretty clever.

This is cool.
Don't see it going #1 or anything but I think that this has the potential to possibly surprise some people.
I enjoyed the video a lot.

Somehow, Epic seems to always do well out of the gate (Karmin's "I Want It All" got roughly 15 first-week adds too), then they falter. I don't mind this one, but I doubt it reaches the top 30.

Epic is literally the worst. I'm still pissed off that Bonnie's 'American Girl' wasn't colossal.

Another decent week with 13 adds. 8th most added.
Not a furious enough reception to think it's definitely going places, but radio isn't totally disinterested either.

Well the beginning is really annoying, but then it's not that bad . I get the Mercy comparissions (even when Mercy is a great song and this is not).
Now what it's needed is to know if with every listening this became more likeable or more annoying, that could be the difference between getting a decent hit or not

This is awful. How in the world did this get to #28 on iTunes? I feel like The Today Show wouldn't give it that much of a boost...

This is different from other songs being played on T40 radios, guess this is why they are giving it a push.
