Omg why would you think that? She looks awkward and uncomfortable. Awkward and uncomfortable =/= not getting hit on a lot, though. Thirst knows no limits - I can't count the number of times I have gotten hit on at a bus or train station when I know I look bummy which leaves me judging the dude on sheer principle - so I don't think Meghan the video non-vixen would be lacking for attention. The video is almost inarguably terrible, but she looks quite pretty in it, and a little awkward and uncomfortable is not going to stop a scuzzy dude who is just trying to get some quick tail and doesn't understand the concept of personal space. But because it bears repeating: this video is truly Not Good.

I love this song and think it's a total jam on the radio, but I concur that the video is not very good. It felt like she was totally out of her comfort zone throughout the entire thing and it was just awkwardly shot and staged in pretty much every way. She just doesn't deliver the fierceness needed for a video like that to work the way someone like Demi Lovato, i.e., would have done.

It does seem like she was playing a character she wasn't all that comfortable with. Meh, nothing too off-putting for me though.

Everything about this song/video feels forced to me. Like they blatantly tried to feed off of nostalgia to get this to stick. I think it worked for the song, since everyone seems to love it (personally can't stand it.) The video makes me feel bad for her though. She just doesn't have the presence or quirkiness and tongue-in-cheek attitude it would have taken to make it work.

I loved Meghan's performance on the IHEARTRADIO Awards. She looked great and she did an amazing job. Her stage presence was also very good.

She just doesn't have the presence or quirkiness and tongue-in-cheek attitude it would have taken to make it work. This is how I felt watching her IHeart performance last night. Except I Love the song and I did think last era she could have pulled the tongue and cheek quirky attitude and it would have worked for this. However I still can't tell if the video and performance is parody or really her showing that "Not everyone has to dance like Beyonce to have fun". I still liked her performance. It was live she tried and had good visuals and I like the song.

Moves up 6-3 on Hot 100: 1-2 on Digital Songs but up 15% with 147k downloads. 21-14 on Streaming Songs with 10.3 million up 29%. 12 still on Radio Songs with 75 million up 10%.
Good movement this week due to full week of video release.

I think the only song that I recall that benefited from that award was Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money Helped for the start of the song's chart run To a lesser extent it did also help Iggy Azalea ft Jennifer Hudson's - Trouble, but that only lasted like 4 weeks on the chart I think.

Her performance reiterated a negative about the video in that she was largely swallowed up by the production. Not to say that she doesn't have attitude and sass, because she does, but the scale at which that needs to be projected to hold your own in all that is going on around you has to be bigger than what she's doing.
The choreo is a huge step down for Fatima (unless someone else choreod this and she just directed?) from her past projects, especially the work she did for Pharrell's campaign, that killed in every which way. During the bridge where she's doing a really slow turn and they're all around her just looks really bad and lifeless.

I loved Meghan's first album and all her past singles but I just can't get into this song. I just don't think its good. And this sexy, trying to be a dance diva doesn't work for her. Feels and looks totally unnatural. And I'll say it again....WHY can't ANY of her background dancers look more like regular girls (and Meghan herself )?. Meghan has some meat on her bones and celebrates women having "bass". So why can't her back ground dancers reflect that?

Good gains!! I really was disappointed at the music video. Does she have any promo coming up? The next few weeks feel like her last chance at a higher peak.

It's taken way longer than I thought it would, but all you haters have to agree, this is headin to number one, hopefully in the week her album is released. I'm already convinced the second single is going to be bigger then this.

I like Meghan but I'm not a big fan of this song. However it's stuck in my head, and I blame her for that.
