no way will it be a hit. i like it though.
hard for me to separate out my 'objective' feelings about the video with my feelings that MIA is a total babe
― max, Saturday, 4 February 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
well, I haven't cared for madonna for a long time and this track won't change that (MIA is not doing anything special in it and Minaj is cool). but the bad girls package is great ! although this version doesn't add much to the mixtape one, at least it's properly released. It would have been a shame to let that track without giving it a chance as a single.

i was talking about the MIA track fwiw but i dont think either one will be a hit
― max, Saturday, 4 February 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
arguing over whether a new pop song will be "a hit" is the most boring boring thing to do or see, leave that to fora like popjustice
they may well both be hits but even if that's the case they will still both be mediocre songs

― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 4 February 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
or do you have an objective scientific quality meter ?
and the "will it be a hit" question is not serious... just about being enthusiastic over something and wanting the most people to know about it !

weirdly she's possibly the 'biggest' most famous female pop star of the last 10 years to have so few real hits in fact http://www.everyhit.com/searchsec.php
it's weird. most of her fans DL em for free i guess.
― piscesx, Saturday, 4 February 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, I guess it's because the demographic of her "fanbase" is not the same as the other female popstars (maybe older, alt whatever...).

great video

Finally saw the video and love it. It still sounds like a slow down Boyz or clunky Come Around. I'm sure the cultural/feminist blogs will all be in a teezy about it.

video is cool. song is alright. wish she'd released "super tight" if she wanted to release a song from vicki leekx.

I'm predicting some sort of combination of Bon Jovi, U2, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and Springsteen for the next five years.

Haha, actually I just googled it and there is a FB petition to get Bon Jovi for next year.

if Bon Jovi plays at halftime, I'm going to temporarily leave the country for the 30 minutes of halftime.

tbh i would be quite happy if the video just consisted of the bit where she's dressed in black in front of the bonfire for the entire length of the track. she is stunning.

What's extra annoying about last night's event is that M.I.A. doesn't need these cheap ploys to up her visibility, even when the stage design and costuming is best described as "GoldenPalace.com." After all, she released her first great single in years just last Thursday, and its music video had already racked up more than 3 million YouTube views even before the Super Bowl send-up. Following the rep-shattering press surrounding 2010's /\/\/\Y/\, it wouldn't be the worst idea to draw as much focus as possible back to her music.
Instead, in the few bars Madonna was kind enough to grant her during the biggest television event of the year, M.I.A.'s message to America was simply, "Fuck you." Well, in M.I.A.'s own words, the little people will never win, but they can fuck shit up. Success might be the best revenge, but apparently, being an asshole is forever.
