I love Pink but this is one of the worse songs she has ever done. Sounds terrible on the air. :( I pray the next single is better!!

I actually think this is one of her better songs. It's just so Pink!!! I love this one.

I just heard this for the first time last night and wanted to make some comments.
This is not a bad track. I prefer her material from the "Misundazstood" era most of all, but this is very much Pink's style, this track is raw and honest, and that makes this listenable.
I think the reason her "Try This" era flopped hugely was because, despite being another strong album and the singles having a nice sound, both "Trouble" and "God Is A DJ" weren't really tracks you could connect to.
"Get The Party Started" hit because it mixed Pink's sass ("I'll be burning rubber or you'll be kissing my ass...") with your standard dance track. "Don't Let Me Get Me" hit because it very much was infused with Pink's personality with painting the contrast to Britney Spears and LA telling you to let go of all your ambition to be a pop star, and "Just Like A Pill" hit much for the same reason while making the listener realize that "morphine" is indeed real.
"Trouble" didn't fare too well because it's too repetitive to the point all you really get out is that she's trouble in your town, leaving the listener wondering, "Ah, so you are trouble...so what?". And "God Is A DJ" may have had some attitude, but like with "Trouble", there just wasn't enough of "her" in it.
*
I believe Pink is most successful when she really engages personally with the listeners in her songs, speaking the language many kids, teenagers and young adults speak. With that said, I think this will at least outpeak the two singles from "Try This" because her personality is strong in this song, and this has a legitimate shot at the Top 10 I believe, even if I don't think she'll pea as high here as with her "Misundazstood" singles.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I predict this will end up somewhere in the lower half of the top 10. This song is too unique and stands out too much to be a flop like her previous singles IMO.

Ok, I'm a nerd. I bought the music video today for this on iTunes for $1.99.
I recently got a video ipod, and this was my first purchase.
Unfortunately it's the edited version of the video! >:(

I'm so relieved this isn't flopping and that it's picking back up again. I think this will make top 10 for sure. Go PINK!

Really? Could it go top ten on Billboard? Any predictions, as to where it could land this week? How are downlaods? Has the mazi single beenreleased yet (I have assumed that the maxi single is the CD single, am I right?)

But even if radio plays this alot like it is starting to, it won't help with it getting up on Billboard will it?

So in just a week, this song has gone from 'OMG I can't believe the bullet has droped' to 'it's a hit everywhere'? WOW GO PINK! Are we expecting a rise on Billboard this week?

No, the sales dropped enough for it not to rise anymore.
I'm over this song, when are we getting a new single? She can't release the album with JUST this single out.

The downloads will go up again as long as the airplay is increasing. I think the song didn't pick yet! :)

The airplay isn't rising fast enough for that, I don't think anyways. Also, I think the video is what really is making the song popular more than anything. The song itself really isn't THAT good... But there's a lot of hype around it which is helping fuel the sales.

To me the song is just as fun if not more fun than the video. The video is very novelty and fun for a couple views. Nothing more.

I didn't like this at first, but it's grown on me. I like hearing it on the radio; I think it sounds very good. It's definitely different.
I don't know. Pink has a lot of talent, and I naturally give her props for her maturity and for outgrowing the teen-pop genre; obviously she's got a strong personality...very determined and decisive.
However, and I don't know if it's my being in high school when she hit the scene (some kind of nostalgic factor) or if I just feel this way because I do....but my favorite Pink stuff is from "Can't Take Me Home" by a long shot. I guess that's pretty shallow, since she was manufactured and polished at that time, but I just kind of like the music on that album. Oh well.
