I can't wait to hear it although I hope she did like Erykah Badu and included a studio version on the album. Okay just heard this. It's nice, but how many more songs are going to sample "Intimate Friends"? This is really one of her weakest singles. The whole song is made up of name dropping and she used a heavy sample. She squeezes too many words into some lines too I mean I love anything she does (this could end up racing to #1 on my personal chart or something), but I expected a little more.

Well it's defintely the worst single she's released. It sounds like it'll grow on me though. It gets good for me a little after the second verse.

I couldn't get enough of Alicia last year but I'm so burnt out on her right now. I need a break from Alicia. I kind of wish she wouldn't release a single this year and just gave us some time away from her, and just focused on putting out a hot new album next year or something.

Alright I heard this now, and I'm really disappointed. It sounds like its from 1968 or something first of all. The lyrics are really annoying too.

Because in the past if Alicia used a sample, she heavily disguised it with her own music (You Don't Know My Name). Here she just took the instrumental from "Intimate Friends" and sang over it. She's also capable of way better lyrics than "We can be rich like Oprah and Steadman".

I heard this on the radio tonight and I must say I enjoyed it. It was just a feel good song with a great vibe to it. Very retro, and I loved the Jackson shout outs.

I expected a little more buts its still good. However, I think that Alicia needs to go on break. She was EVERYWHERE last year and was the female Usher. People are already tired and need a break. I think that this might flop.

I love it! She had some good back-up dancers what I don't like about the song is the "clap your hands everybody".

Wow, this board is officially the portal to everything... within minutes I got the song. Anyways, I don't know about this track. The name dropping can get a bit annoying, but I could definitely see this growing on me.

Five adds in one day out. Not bad Alicia, especially for a live track. I do have to give it to her for making a song that's really, really catchy. That's what keeps me coming back to this one.

Well it sounds like 1978 because that's when "Intimate Friends" came out.
