Sounds good, and she's not using that scratchy voice.

I'm reading this song wasn't written by a single American person? LOL

I'm reading this song wasn't written by a single American person? LOL The "American Dream" is best described by those that immigrated here.

When my great great grandparents left the troubled shores of Southern Italy in the 1880's they could only DREAM of breathing American oxygen. Maybe this song will be about the American Dream. Maybe this song will be about #LisaRinna's future ambitions. :O :)

Starts somewhere around the 2:45 mark. We all know about the performance's quirks but let's discuss the song here!
It's got a potent melody and the lyrics of an anthem in the making. The whole theme of turning nickels and dimes into an Empire empire ties in with the times perfectly. There's definitely smash potential here, but I'm unsure if it would be enough for the era's Hot 100 #1. Chart wise I could see it being more of a gentle giant like "Stay" was two years ago.

BBHM was better than this.What a disappointment. Even FourFiveSeconds sounds better.

Is that the final mastered version? It sounds so muffled. That aside, this is by far the most instant of the three R8 songs we've heard so far. I do like it but just hope there's some sharpening yet to come.

Someone should tell her that you can be different and not make shit music. Her output this era is very subpar.

I think this is a smash. It needs to be about a minute shorter though, and those pauses in the verses are unnecessary.

Her last album was probably my second favorite from her behind "Good Girl Gone Bad". All three songs from this project so far have been beyond lackluster.

I like this, out of the 3 tracks, this definitely has the most Kanye feel. It's an interesting way to play with a standard "anthem" track, as awkward as the title is.

This is pretty good actually! It's a bit too long at the ending, but other than that... It's really good!

The chorus is excellent and quite catchy. However, the transition on this is bad as if it were two songs piece together. I also think the beat should have picked up which would keep people's attention. Her vocals on the verses are great and remind me of "We Found Love". At least the melody on this is good even though it is lacking in other places. Still not excited about this album, but she is trying.
