The "non-Tinder" version was made by another account to make up for that s**t Hilary's team made. They used the Ellen footage to fill in for the Tinder ad of a video they put out. I still say its better than the original video though! lol

^ Then try actually injecting some discernible sarcasm 'cause that post read pretty non-sarcastically...

LOve the Ellen performance. Hil is thick as fuq. :O SERIOUSLY. When did that happen??? Aside from that period in 2005/06 when she lost lots of weight, she's always been a little thick, even in her younger days. Her pregnancy just exacerbated it. I wasn't crazy about the Ellen performance. She looked hot as hell, and she sounded decent (I'm glad she's actually making an effort to sing live this era), but her "dancing" was a little painful; she moved really lethargically, like Britney on her worst day. She just didn't seem too into it. And I'm still salty about the video. What a missed opportunity.

I love the song but I think it was destined to flop from the beginning. The video will only be used as an excuse for it not becoming the hit many of us would like it to be. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong and it'll find its way into the charts but I doubt it.

Disappointed that the Tinder thing kind of ruined the video, because the actual scenes they shot for it looked really awesome. I loved all the neon colors and Hilary looked amazing. Shame it all got overshadowed by the Tinder idea, which would've been fine if they'd just incorporated scenes of her going on dates into the video without all the interrupting dialogue.

I'm impressed. Very smart video. If it was nothing but neon beauty shots and basic choreo, nobody but ATRL faggs would be talking about it.

I was just as pissed off as you guys when the video first came out, but now that it's been out for a few days it is growing on me. Though I still think she shouldn't be talking throughout, it completely takes away from the song.
RCA said she'd doing an ABC Takeover next month leading up to the week of album release
"Hilary is set to kick off album release week with an abc takeover – appearances include good morning america, live! with kelly and michael, and the view!"
bring on the promo

I am deeply disappointed with the video. If they had included the Tinder scenes but played the song instead of letting it talk over it, I think I'd be more accepting of it, tbh.
And, I'm glad to hear that Hilary has promo planned up but they're still insanely stupid for not sending this out for Pop adds already.

Anyone else not find it concerning that Hannah Lux Davis didn't even tweet/instagram about the video? Which leads me to believe a director's cut will be released within 2 weeks or so.

It debuted at 102 on the bubbling hot 100. This is so frustrating wow! If RCA just sent the song to top 40 it could have a been hit, so unfortunate when they have a smash in their hands but not doing anything about it.
Sparks got no adds on H/AC yesterday, so I think it's done on that format. It will never see POP.

Sparks got no adds on H/AC yesterday, so I think it's done on that format. It will never see POP. It seems like you got some connection to RCA so why not tell them to check out this thread and they can see how stupid they're acting atm? I mean, this song is pure POP, and not made for HAC. I swear... I mean, they could've sent this for adds at Pop when the video premiered because it actually garnered buzz. But of course, they fucked up yet again and missed the opportunity.

The funniest thing about the mess that has been her management is that when she actually had HAC leaning songs, they got released to Pop only, now that she has a pure pop song, it gets released only to HAC

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but there seems to be a professional non-Tindr version of the vid out there, because I just watched it play at a bar. There definitely wasn't any Ellen footage, and it definitely lasted for the full length of the song. They may have been looping scenes, but the words always seemed to match with the lips.

I mean, anybody who thinks this ever had a shot at being successful on Pop is out of their mind. It's a Hillary Duff song. If anything, I think their team was VERY smart about the release. She got a LOT of buzz and a lot of publicity and exposure from the Tinder stunt. From the interview she did with Ryan before, to the actual video.
Like someone else said, NO ONE would even be talking about it if it wasn't for the Tinder collaboration and that was the whole point. I think their aim was to make a viral video in hopes of this becoming successful because they knew radio wasn't going to touch it, and that's more on radio stations and the GP not wanting to play Hilary Duff tracks than it is on RCA f**king everything up~~~1111!!!!!. Hilary hasn't had a hit single, or been relevant in over 10 years. I think RCA and her team were very smart and creative with this release. Props to them.
Them releasing a Taylor Swift b-side to Pop along with a pretty video with pretty lighting and TV promo got them nowhere. This was the way to go, all things considered.
