Meghan Trainor isn't even that overweight, she looks fine.

interesting to see how Pulse seemed to change its opinion on the song after the first few pages. as a guy who doesn't really have any thoughts about "body image" on a day to day basis I understand the song isn't really meant for my demographic, but I still can't stand hearing it. I get the instrumentals and vocals are unique for the current pop climate, but I can't hear more than two seconds of this song without having to turn it off. really would have preferred Shake It Off to remain at #1, or in a perfect situation have Sam Smith get a week or two at the top. The last two songs to get locked out of #1 (Stay With Me and Am I Wrong) are miles above the last few #1's that blocked them out of that position (Fancy, Rude, and now All About That Bass imo.
I do like to see a bit of quicker turnover at the top though, and I can't see this one sticking around for too long at #1.

I'm actually starting to grow rather partial to chipper Amy Winehouse.

I can't believe how annoying this song is, it gets on my nerves every time i try to listen to it i hope it peaks quickly and then drop like a stone

It's really annoying when a song you dislike it's everywhere (i'm fearing that with Stolen dance). And in this case people suffering the double because most people who don't like this, don't like Shake it off either.
I think both songs have a high burn rate, but i didn't reach it with either of them so i'm perfectly ok right now.
And about her weight, yes, she is not that overweight, but she is fat for celebrity standards. It's very rare to see singer who are not skinny right now, specially pop singers. And people seem to have the standards of body image totally altered (Sam Smith received a lot of nasty tweets about his weight too). The best part is that she is owning her weight with the song wich make her a lot less vulnerable to critics

I love her charisma, the message, the inspiration and influence in this song. It's great, but it's very polarizing. It's a cute song, and it shows she has huge potential imo.

Hitting the nail right on the head. You know what's not perfect from the bottom to the top? This person's voice. He has a voice for essays. (He's also extremely hypocritical - here, he's standing up for women he alleges she's shaming - but if you go through this clown's other videos, you'll see he can be a textbook misogynist). But, more importantly, it's just so funny to watch people completely fail to get the song (there is no skinny shaming here, and if that's your takeaway, then you really should stick to music without lyrics because you...don't understand things) AND continue pushing this argument as if they're going to convince people that the #1 song in the country--and one that got there largely due to its lyrical message--is poorly written. It comes off so much worse than the "Blurred Lines is rapey" fake hysteria, because even though that song obviously wasn't "rapey," it was still very sleazy and not at all noble. This is a song that is all about self empowerment and making people feel better about themselves and how they look (and, yes, *all* people - being a stick figure silicone barbie doll isn't who Meghan Trainor is or whom the boys she wants want, but it could be right for you...not sure why people are missing that), and people are still trying to take it down. Just comes off as so tacky. What's particularly funny is that he gets MAD about the "every inch of you is perfect" line for being too safe, cliched and pandering but then also gets mad when she takes pride in being bigger. Pick a damn side.

lol, kanimal, Buckley isn't a misogynist - a bit sexist, but misogynist? That's taking it a bit too far. Just because he victim blames and hates how the media blows everything out of proportion doesn't mean he's misogynist. If you said he was a bit sexist, then fine, I guess I could get behind it. And he does pick a side, so...

Hitting the nail right on the head. Lasted about a minute and a half. Holy trolling hell that video is obnoxious as fuck. Based on his intro, I think he's also the one that did that ungodly irritating "worst songs of 2013" video that was infinitely more annoying than any of the songs he featured. How he managed to take a super-weak argument about "skinny shaming" based on a few lines of a love-your-body anthem and turn it into a ten-minute video is truly an Olympic exercise in ego.
