Don't get the big hype about this song. Another uninspired bland mess revolving around onomatopoeia. And they just had to bring in Nicki Minaj to make it even more intolerable. But maybe it's just me...

Whoa. This reminds me of Christina Aguilera honestly, but it would definitely not be taking off like this if it were her song (but maybe with the Ariana and Nicki features it would).

Tbh, I liked the clip more than I like the full song. It's okay IMO.

Damn, this is massive. Is this with a radio deal or is this doing this on its own?

In all likelihood, if Aguilera was involved, it would take off only if it were "Featuring Christian Aguilera" (if the last several years are anythingt to go by)
Maybe I need to listen to it again, based on Simon Cowell's comment. Then again, isn't he "in" with Jessie J?

Yes, Christina as herself is always trouble in the charts (maybe that would change if she were on the mood to promote her singles) but she is gold as featured artist.
I think we'll get an idea of the damage this could do next week, by then it won't be at number one on itunes and it'll get more normal updates. If the burn rate is low i think it will be a sizeable hit, if it's high it will get a low livespan (probably a Sing chart run).
It will be curious to see how this affect to Ariana and Nicki releases, maybe they are able to pull a Sam Smith and carry several songs on the chart at the same time

I am still perplexed by Pop jumping on this so quickly. It's still meh to me. Too much yelling.

I cannot get over how bad this is. The production, the dated awful chorus, Jessie J sounding like a screechy mess. Just awful all around, of course it's a smash.
I'm just going to pretend she released "Thunder" as her lead single and go listen to that.

I cannot get over how amazing this is. The production, the slick throwback chorus, Jessie J sounding like a beast with those slaying vocals. Just amazing all around, of course it's a smash.

Interesting that the iTunes preview mostly showcases Ariana and Nicki I kind of like the throwback sound, and the combination of styles with Nicki's swag and the typical Ariana's retro vocals layering. I did want a chorus with better production tho. It's mostly electro drums. How about more bass or other instruments? Quite interested to see if this becomes this year's Blurred Lines. It may. In terms of sound weirdness, in a way it reminds me of Boom Boom Pow, which also had a more minimalistic production and repetitiveness that didn't receive much love initially but soon became huge. I guess we shall wait and see

I'm sick of people saying Jessie J is screaming in her tracks and the like. I agree that she may not have been given, or sung, the most suitable records for her vocal-wise throughout the years, but she is one of the most brilliant and talented musicians and vocalists nowadays. Most pop gurls wish they could sing as well as her; I've seen her live and she is just amazing.
And to reiterate what has been said here before: she's not screaming, she's belting.

Most people on pulse don't know the difference. They think you are screaming if you can actually sing. They need an excuse to justify their fave who can't.
