Poll: Give me your honest opinion.

[Vaishnav Reddy]

Thanks for taking the time to post guys.
The reason I wanted you guys to do this is because it is kind of a big deal in India.
The singer is Priyanka Chopra , a Bollywood actress and she recently launched her music career with this single.

Anyway a couple of friends recommended that I listen to this song since it was " da bomb ".When I told them that I thought it was absolute shit , they went crazy defending it.Just to prove them wrong I googled " In my City critique " and found nothing but fluff pieces.

So basically I posted it so that I could see what actual people thought of this song.

1. Although to be fair I'd probably give most other pop songs a 1 too. Can't stand them.

 

[Ledan]

Not horrible, just not catchy at all. The repeated "in my city" just doesn't catch on, and there is no oomph anywhere in the song.
2. Would not listen to it on my own, but wouldn't throw the radio out of the car if someone else was playing it.

 

[Hazy992]

2. The lyrics are nonsensical and the actual song is just boring. Also her dancing was pissing me off.

 

[Rascarin]

The best way i can think to describe this is to say it sounds like Rebecca Black should be singing it. Or rather, like it was written by the same people behind "Friday".

It's... bland. Uninspired. Safe, in a head-crashingly kiddy sort of way. The kind of drivel I expect to listen to when I'm on hold to my insurance company.

I liked it. The melody did sound familiar so I guess it's not unique. The most unique part was the very beginning. And I'd hoped that there'd be a lot more of the Indian language in there when I did hear the first part.

But it's not bad to me. It's just good as opposed to great.

Honestly? I'd give it a 2, only because she's a pretty good singer. Nothing is happening in this song that hasn't been done thousands of times before, and better. I mean, it's been done worse as well (I'm looking at you, William. And take those stupid periods out of your name.) but I guess that's why it's a 2 and not a 1. I'm being generous.

EDIT: Aaaand now I can't get it out of my head. So now it's a one.

 

[DugMachine]

Quite generic to be honest. Lyrics, music. Nothing is groundbreaking about this song. 2

You know, I didn't realize that Will.i.am's name was just William with periods until you mentioned it...

 

[Bestival]

Would have been a 2, but I'm absolutely biased against bill he is. So 1. Also, fuck autotune.

 

[Xariat]

why are we rating this again? it's a generic pop song that we've all heard before. there's nothing new to it and it will die and be forgotten in a few weeks and no one will ever listen to it again.

gave it a 2 because it's by far not the worst song i've ever heard but it's still a looooong shot away from being even average in my ears.

 

[BaronUberstein]

Couldn't get past the beginning, it physically pained me. Rated it a one for bad.

 

[kortin]

1, it wasn't even entertaining.

Plus it's feat. Wil I Am.

Seriously?

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I gave it a 1, it's too bland, it's not just generic, but completely uninspired, and boring, I mean this is one of the least, felt, songs I've ever forced myself to listen to, even for a modern pop song, and that's SAYING something.

Capcha: "techicolor yawn" see, even capcha found it boring...

 

[DSK-]

I figured 1 was for utterly terrible so I voted 1. Definitely not my taste, didn't like it and only skipped through it and immediately came to this conclusion.

 

[Dark Prophet]

1 maybe 1.5 because it dosen't pretend to be anything more than it is.

 

[Shuguard]

her lyrics need some work, it just doesn't flow very well. Her voice is good, but those lyrics killed the enjoyment for me.

 

[lacktheknack]

I like modern pop, but this is just... blah.

Autotune on Will.I.Am is too noticeable, and it's not supposed to be his schtick.

Either messageless, or the message consists entirely of "WE SHOULD ALL PARTY!" Bleh.

It misunderstands the proper usage of the ever-hated "bleep-bloop" sounds.

She can sing fairly well, though.

2/5. Wouldn't turn off, would NEVER seek out.

 

[Winthrop]

Felt kind of derivative of other peoples work in my opinion.

I was disappointed, I though it was going to be a song that you wrote.
