I'm SO f**king sick of this, too. It's a hot song, but I can't stand hearing it all the time anymore.

It's a great song, but it's SOOO overplayed. It's very annoying.

It's a great song, but it's SOOO overplayed. It's very annoying. As overplayed as it must be in Toronto, I noticed that the song's not even Top 10 in Canada. Surprising since it's a Top 5 hit in all the other major English speaking markets. |

Someone really should have re-evaluated the guest spots, because they nearly kill the song. Not only are Ne-Yo's lyrics on par with his established standards (read: they're ridiculous), his vocal delivery is wimpy, especially on that laughable "pimp ship flying high" line. Kanye fits the song on paper, but his verse is absolutely horrendous - one of his worst ever actually. I'd start listing particularly bad lines but then I'd just end up copy and pasting his entire verse. It's so nonsensical that it almost sounds like he was just freestyling.
Keri should have just laid down the second verse herself, and then featured Ludacris or even Drake as the guest rapper.

^ Uh, why? As annoyingly overplayed this song has become, it is a MASSIVE hit. Keri did everything right with this one.

A lot of people think this song was only a hit because of the guest spots. That's a great move on Keri's part if she was looking for one massive hit, but it still hasn't proven that she can carry a song to the top of the charts on her own. I guess the test comes with "Slow Dance." |

I don't think it's fair to say that the ONLY reason why this is so huge is because of KanYe and Ne-Yo's guest appearances.
It has an undeniable melody and Keri's chorus is incredibly catchy.
Would it have been this big if KanYe and Ne-Yo weren't on it? Who knows...I still think it would have become a bigger hit than Turnin' Me On. I see her being a 1-hit wonder at Pop though...

I'm going to be pretty ticked if this goes #1 at Pop. It's not terrible, but I still don't even think it's super-compatible with the format and gets annoying quickly.
And in reference to my previous post: obviously Kanye and Ne-Yo aided this song's performance nicely. The possibility of switching guest stars was more of a personal thing; I still think their contributions drag the song down.

I don't think this can get to #1 at Pop... Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift will block it out.

This song is having incredible longevity. I think it's going to win Grammy.

I still say this peaks at #2, but we'll see. It may be finished.
I am SOOOO sick of this damn song.
It looks like it is falling apart, so hopefully this is the end of it.

This song is having incredible longevity. I think it's going to win Grammy. For now, this is a strong contender for R&B song, and Rap/Sung Collaboration. (It could face some competition from "Run This Town" though.) It's got 2 artists on it with plenty of Grammy cred in Ne-yo and Kanye. This should be in line to pick up some nominations. |

LMAO!!!
Ne-Yo appeared on the “Today” show Tuesday morning where host Hoda Kotb unknowingly knocked down Keri Hilson.
“You have this really hot new video that you do with Kanye West and another woman named Keri,” said Cobb. “You [and Kanye] are such big stars. How did this happen?”

For as big as this song is, I'm surprised this has only sold 1.3 million downloads.

True, but it's not like a sales flop. It's been in or near the Top 10 of iTunes for months and months. To the point where I look and think "how the hell is it still so high?"

Between the 4 stations that have this in rotation here, it's literally on every 5 minutes.

Why the HELL does this still have a triple digit bullet at Pop? I thought it was starting (slowly) fall everywhere, it's tooooo old and overplayed to still be gaining anywhere!
