That bullet is crazy! Over +1500 right now, I honestly can't remember seeing that.
As for the song itself...it's okay. I like it, but it's not his best song. I'm glad he's getting plays though, I like Kanye's music.

I still like this song a lot, but I have to say I can't listen to it that frequently. The whole song kinda does sound like one long verse, which makes it really repetitive and hard to hear as much as we do on the radio. This is a song that I almost never Yea, this song got old really fast. It's mainly Jamie's loop. I can't even listen to this on repeat.

I've only started to like it after hearing it at lot. The way he constructed it, it's like all things going at you at once. Your brain doesn't know what to focus on. If you don't try to focus on the lyrical content and just come at it from a beat/overall feel angle it works really well. But if you try to follow "the story" of the song, it gets messy. Up until you've heard it so many times that you finally know all the words, then it's easier to seperate the parts out because you know what they're supposed to be. I was the same way. I liked it more and more as airplay was increased.

I am still surprised that out of all of kanye's singles this is the one to hit #1 at bb. I even enjoyed the new workout plan more.

I HATE this song now...its getting so overplayed, and whenever I hear that annoying Jamie Foxx wannabe Ray Charles intro I immediately change the station
When I first heard this I didnt like it and thought it sounded weird because of the Jamie/Ray thing, which I thought was Ray Charles at first...then it slowly grew on me, and at one point near the end of the summer I started to get into it and started liking it...now that it's everywhere I'm starting to hate it

I don't like to post negative comments but I really can't understand the "crazy" bullet next to this ... This song is just OK.

Yeah, I heard "Jesus Walks" the other day, I definitely like that better than this. I don't understand all of the hype, +1802! Why?? He is not an established artist or anything. The only part I actually like is the intro, so I listen to the first 3 seconds and then change the station.

Holy sh*t! This is getting way too ridiculous. +1802!? I like this song but this is probably one of the most overrated song ever. This shows that many songs get success based only on hype and not on the song itself. This is definitely one of those songs.

Have people forgot Britney's MATM, Christina's DIRRTY and Madonna's DIE ANOTHER DAY?! All these songs had +2700 bullets at one time...this +1800 is nothing compared to just a few years ago! lol.

I'm guessing nobody remembers the huge bullets Lose My Breath carried all the way up to the top 10 around this time last year.

Will this song get a bullet over 2000? It doesn't seem unlikely anyway.

You cannot compare huge bullets for (1) successful pop artists making comebacks on the charts and (2) on a larger panel compared to today to the huge bullet that Kayne has right now. THIS episode is truly uncommon.

I truly think his performance at the VMA's is where all this started.

Wasn't Eminem up over +3400 with "Just Lost It," but again he is an established artist. I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the hype of this song. In my University's paper there was an article on the MTV Video Music Awards and the writer mentioned how they thought Kayne West was very full of himself. I thought it was a really good article myself. I'll just post the parts that pretain to this thread.
"As for the awards themselves, does anyone really care?
Well, with the exception of Kanye West, no one does.
Obviously, Kanye, you know you're talented, you know you're terrific, and you know you're tough.
Granted, I'm a fan of yours, but it'll take some time when you get to where you think you are.
You've put out one good album, but realize that one album doesn't instantly propel one into legendary status.
Remember, baby steps, Kanye. Baby steps."
The last few sentences where also good...
"I'm extremely pleased the beautiful Kelly Clarkson got to end the show.
For once, the pop world delivered an artist who can actually sing and doesn't revel in the fact that she's gained celebrity status.
The entertainment world could learn a little something from her (listen up, Kanye!)."
I thought I'd share that article, this is what I think many people are thinking about Kayne. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks Kayne West is overrated.

I agree w/ everyone here. Kanye's parts aren't TOO bad, but Jamie has to have THE most annoying voice I've EVER heard. I'd rather listen to William Hung, cuz at least he's quiet. I hope this song fades quick, it's getting way overplayed. Realistically tho, I see it hanging on to #1 on BB and keeping Mariah off.

I like Jamie Foxx when he sings like himself, but he has to realize that just because he played Ray Charles in a movie and won an Oscar doesn't mean that he is Ray, so he shouldn't try to channel him in his singing all the time.

OMG I can't STAND this song anymore! LOL...every time I hear it or see the video, (which is ever 5 minutes now) I immediately change!
I agree so much that this Jamie Foxx thinking he is Ray Charles thing has really gone overboard. Like I have said before, the first month I heard this song, I thought that actually WAS Ray Charles and Kanye just sampled an old Ray track.

That's all Jamie Foxx has ever done though. He mimics other artists. It's a little weird. He makes his voice sound like other people. Definitely not the way to be taken seriously.
