I imagine I would like this if it were from Rachel Stevens, but from Xtina...it just doesn't work for me.

its definately different, and does have a katy perry resemblence.
its pretty cool, nothing special, and im surprised she's not screaming all throughout it.

It's funny how when she does, people don't like it. And then when she doesn't, same thing. I used to think she screamed too much sometimes, but after that performance on the Grammys in 2007 with that long shrill scream during "It's A Man's World", I don't think she screams that much on the studio versions and other performances.

I really don't see her carrying this song very well. This is like a mix of Scissor Sisters/with a bit of Pink's attitude/Katy Perry.

I just miss her vocal. I'm used to a lot of adlibs all over the place and in this song, here's only a few "A SUPPPER BIITCHHH" which isn't enough.

This song doesn't really jive with her personality. Or the personality she's established for herself.
The 11 pounds of makeup she had on probably clouded her judgment when she agreed to record this.

This song doesn't really jive with her personality. Or the personality she's established for herself. Except for the line about how she's a b*tch. Otherwise, I totally agree.

The song is just blah. But 1) I'm glad she's singing in her range this time, and 2) glad she's making a pop song, and not trying to make songs to "change the world."

I can't for the life of me hear the So What similarities. I do hear the Strict machine ones though.

I'm also glad she isn't screaming, she sounds great.

I heard this on the radio and it sounded so hot. I hope she's performing this tomorrow on the VMAs.

Yes! That is a plus. If she can taper her voice this era, it will be great. Big notes do not equal great songs.

I don't know what to think. I like it, but I'm also a bit disappointed and expected more. And I can't really see this being any more than a hype single.

This basically sounds like a bad Rachel Stevens song. It really does rip-off "Strict Machine" too. It isn't horrible, though.

This DOES sound like "Shut Up and Drive" meets "So What" meets Sugababes' "Hole In the Head." I can't hear "So What" at all. I can kind of hear "Shut Up And Drive" and I understand the comparisons to that and "Hole In The Head", but it really does sound more like something from Rachel Stevens' Come And Get It and Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine", neither of which you'd have heard

I dont hear Shut Up and Drive AT ALL. If anything, the opening reminds me of 'So What' but not much else.

I can still get B2B vibes on this record. Yes it is futuristic but part of it for me sounds like its still from that era.
