I feel like this has been around for ages now. A sh*tload of people know this already.

I maintain that if this was used in a commercial in the US it would explode into the Top 10 on iTunes. It has all the makings of a late 00s/early 10s smash.

I really like this now. But damn it feels old.

I dislike this, but it's easily their best song. Her voice is SO annoying.
NYC radio (92.3 Now) has surprisingly added this already.
I don't want it to be a hit here.

It really took this getting shoved down my throat at the club for me to get on the bandwagon, but now I love this song.

I can't see this going any higher than #30 on CHR, if it even makes it that far. Although...stranger things have happened.
This is a hot song.

I think it's interesting how SO many UK hits are becoming US hits now. A few years back, pretty much anything foreign struggled. Now even a song like this, which doesn't sound American at all, is going to be a hit. It's a good thing.
I just wish songs would cross over at the same time instead of six to twelve months later.

I was thinking about it yesterday, that Kelly Clarkson would sound hot on this. She's got the right amount of edge to her voice and it woulnt sound shrieky.

I love Gwen's tone - I'm a massive No Doubt fan and really liked most of the stuff on her solo albums - but I don't know about her singing this. Her range is much lower.
Kelly Clarkson or Pink would definitely kill it, though.
And yeah, the one thing that bothers me about La Roux is her voice. I don't mind it on Bulletproof because it's such an amazing song, but I can't even listen to "In For The Kill." If they release that as a second single over here, she's done. The next singles should be "I'm Not Your Toy" and "Tigerlilly" in the U.S..
