Eh, I can do without the video. The song is still good, though.

Why does everyone look like they are on downers in the video?

Hmmmmm I don't know how I feel about it, I could see it being a grower... That video was atrocious though.

I Love it. It reminds me of a couple of tracks mixed together. Maybe "A Public Affair" mixed with a Janet Jackson track. I don't know but I can't pin point it. I like it though. It reminds me of "Miss You Much".

This has to sample Carl Carlton! It samples "Jump To It" by Aretha. Didn't she say that she sampled a Luther song? I mean, I get that he wrote (and produced, I think) Jump To It but...still. It's not like it's going to do anything anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter whether or not she knows what song it sampled. I'll check it out and the accompanying video at some point.

I could immediately tell that this video was directed by Diane Martel and I resent that.

She's never had a radio hit. Dunno what you consider to be a radio hit, but "Over It" did hit #21 on Pop in 2007.

so? Just because it was 8 years ago does not mean it doesn't exist anymore.
If anything, Leona doesn't exist anymore

I felt like Over It and Love Story were pretty decent-sized hits, but they didn't do as well as I thought.

*sighs* she is a pretty girl with a pretty voice but she has never had any charisma or star quality. That was the major problem during her promo for her debut. its like she is a deer in headlights. She looked bored in her own video like she was ready for a nap. i dont know how she makes it as an actress she when she cant even act excited in her own video.

It is unbelievable that Taylor hicks won idol that year, Katherine McPhee or Chris doughtry deserved it more.

She looked bored in her own video like she was ready for a nap. i dont know how she makes it as an actress she when she cant even act excited in her own video. I felt that during her first album era she was a confident star. After that she seemed to recoil from the Hollywood spotlight a bit. But, yes, the video IS supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.

Not sure whether this has been mentioned already, but it's under Cool New Music on Top 40.

Listened to this on repeat during my daily run and it was a total JAM! How can anyone not love the song? Summer anthem! Hope it cracks the top 40.

I'm going to need an edit that lets the beat ride out for a little after the last chorus. This is such an infectious jam.
