Poll: Give me your honest opinion.

[wottabout]

There are many trashy pop songs that I enjoy (I like listening to Kesha and Lady Gaga; I have no opinion on Will.i.am) but I gave this a 1. It was just incredibly boring. I wanted to stop listening after about twenty seconds, but I kept going to see if it got better eventually. It didn't. I mean, I enjoy listening to Tick Tock and Blow My Whistle, both of which have super-generic lyrics, so that's not even the issue here. The tune just wasn't catchy at all. If anything, it wasn't trashy/poppy ENOUGH for me. Maybe I'd like it if someone sped it up and heavily remixed it.
...*looks up some remixes* Ehh, it's better, but still not good. I don't know what to say really. I just hate the song for some reason. Now to go cleanse my ears with the soothing sounds of Like A G6.
EDIT: And just fyi, I would probably give even rate Friday as a two, just because Rebecca Black's a freaking teenager at a vanity studio, what can you expect? This seems like everyone involved had ability, they just completely blew it.

1. That was atrocious. I hate that I was exposed to this. This kind of music drives me so far up the wall. Autotune and Will.i.am don't sound good together.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

I gave it a one.
I hate most modern pop songs as they all sound the same, have dumb lyrics and are really really forgettable.
This one being no exception.

The high-pitched opening was grating as hell. The dancing of the main girl in the video is pretty annoying as well. Will.i.am is, as always, terrible and auto-tuned to shit.

The song is rather generic, the lyrics uninspiring. The voice of the female isn't bad, though.

For a dance song or electronic song, if you removed Will.i.am and changed the opening, it would be something I would listen to in my free time or in a playlist or at a club/dance. A filler song that isn't fantastic but isn't "bad" either. Just a generic fun song.

I'll give it a 3 overall, mostly because it makes some extremely frustrating pop-based mistakes, like having talentless hacks as featured artists.

I'd say that, as far as POP songs go, it's far better than most. But most pop songs are also shit.

 

[Spitfire]

Yet another generic modern pop song, and not even a particularly catchy one at that. At least it wasn't bad enough to cause my ears to bleed, and it didn't pretend to be more than it actually is.

I probably won't listen to this song ever again voluntarily, but I've heard much worse. I'm giving it a 2.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Ouch.

This is the kind of music that makes me loathe mankind.

There are applications for autotune, this isn't one of them.

I felt like giving it a higher score for the beautiful female, but I despise whoring around and I don't have much patience with talentless artists being peddled mainly for their looks, when looks really don't - shouldn't - matter.

So it's got to be a 1. Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly able and willing to expose myself to 'pop' music, but it's just got to feel like there was a bit more heart and effort put into it than booting up a Stock-Aitken-Waterman routine in 2012, spicing things up with autotune. It's just lazy and wrong.

 

[Rawberry101]

This song is of no significance to life. I put a 2 because it isn't offensive, just dull. It's too bad because she's a good singer, it's just a lame song.

Best comment: "Replace 'city' with 'pussy' and you have the funniest song ever made."
I guess youtube comments aren't all bad.

 

[Tharwen]

Is that Shamus Young's Pixel City program in the video?

 

[Twilight_guy]

3. I don't find it really good or bad.

 

[Vern]

1, it's absolute crap. It's a standard dance pop song and it sounds like everything that's wrong with music. Simple instrumentation, if you can call a drum machine an instrument. Lyrics that don't tell a story or have any meaning. And auto-tune!

It's something i can hear playing during a cameron diaz romantic comedy or other chick flick where we get a panoramic shot of a huge city like Paris, Chicago, London, Amsterdam, just waiting for our single lady protaganist to paint red on a big night about town.

Im not some music fanatic who has finely tuned ears. I cant judge professional talent. All i can do is provide my opinion. I dont listen to music for fun either i just enjoy it sometimes. I tolarate all music, Oldies, 80s rock, batchata, pop, j pop, some rap (im indifferent), country, hell barbershop quartet and classical, the point is ill give it all a chance. I dont like any specific genere but ill latch on to anything thats catchy or fun or even easy to listen to.

This song just sounds so generic. The lyrics wernt horrible but i definatly wont find myself singing them in the shower or during my day to day business, it rarely rhymed. Great beat to it, lovely voice, Will did sorta phone it in i think and really put the song into a more mellow pace than it shoulda been....but the song wasnt "OMG UTTER GARBAGE UGGGGHHH". Common is too harsh but how else should one put it?
It gets a 3.

Pretty much crap.

Lame, weak, repetitive sound. Meaningless, irritating lyrics.

I would give it a 1, but there is far FAR worse music out there.

This is bad, but it's sort of a meaningless, pile of shit bad. Not aggressive, massive cock running into your eye socket, bad.

Alright OP, you've gotten lot's of votes and posts. You want to explain the purpose and background?

 

[drisky]

At times it was cringe worthy and actually hurt my ears. When it wasn't doing that it was boring, unless I replaced the word "city" with "pussy" like the top comment said, then it was mildly amusing. Thats going to be a 1, I don't even hate all pop.

 

[Jak23]

Due to the top comment I couldn't stop laughing! But yeah, it's a 1 due to being pop garbage.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Another generic song forced through and out of the grinder that is the pop music industry.
1.
I would of gone lower, but it wasn't a given option.

 

[Slayer_2]

The instrumental version would be good for easy listening, I think, but with lyrics it's a 3, at best.

 

[Bomberman4000]

1. I was bored, the lyrics are stupid, and it seemed like this idea was stretched way too thin for an almost 4 minute song. There's no substance to it. It's just the same techno-pop crap that's all over music now.

Also, I despise just about everything Will.i.am has anything to do with. That man makes me want to drop kick a small dog.

 

[dwp9296]

2. I thought it was going to build up to something good but it turned out to be anti-climatic. I also do not like pop.

 

[Loonyyy]

1.
Lyircs-boring stupid generic ass shit.
Music-generic "backing for the sake of backing" tracks. Pop really needs to remember that vocals aren't the only instrument.
Talent-None. Sounds autotuned, and to be honest, she's not doing anything original.

I didn't get past the 40 second mark. Utterly forgettable nonsense that I'm sure millions will dance to in crappy clubs the world over.

Also, trying to sound emotional about lyrics (I'm assuming) you didn't write, in an overstated and really fake way, when those lyrics really don't convey any emotion, is just crass. Fuck off you talentless wankers. I like music being about emotions, and you guys are just trying to fake it.

But really, I'm biased as hell. I hate most pop music, I despise most female singers I've listened to, and I much prefer distorted guitars and screamed vocals.

 

[enriel]

Honestly, I love pop music...and I still didn't like this song. Pretty uninspired, even for pop.
