track from the U.S. edition of "RokStarr" it's good but not single material (in the U.S.) this is very disco & euro-pop.

A new version with Travie McCoy goes for Adds Nov 30th. I prefer the original.
This era is over. He should start working on a new album.

There's a version with Kylie for the UK as well.

I don't think this is half as bad as people are making it out to be. It still sounds like a hit to me.

Added at both Z100 and WXRK this week. Both NYC Pop stations instantly onboard. I've not yet heard this but on that info alone seems like a potential smash.

Travie's rap ruins this. Both the original and Kylie versions are way better, but I'm not in love with this song.

Travie McCoy sounds like an idiot.
I don't think this is that much worse musically than his other two singles but it's just more generic pop-dance. Yawn, can't wait till this awful trend is over with.

I don't get why radio is embracing this, as well as his other singles, but "Dirty Picture" flopped. They pretty much all follow the same formula.

Ya, "Dirty Picture" really should have been a hit. Maybe record producers were afraid to play two Ke$ha songs?

"Dirty Picture" was nowhere near as catchy as his first two singles. It did better in the US than I thought it would considering how it flopped all over Europe.
"Higher" is really catchy but it's sooo dance- and not the kind that is popular right now. It sounds like Eurotrash! But I kind of like it for that reason.

I'm whatever about this being a hit, but this is irredeemably corny. The goofy, deep-sounding repeated during the verses, Taio's notes getting progressively higher as he sings the lyric "higher" in the hook, Travie's verse, and of course, the ridiculous line about "I got this high without taking a pill." Total cheese-fest.

This is one of those songs that will either get killed by the holiday countdown breaks or blow up in the new year.

This is blowing up even as some stations are switching to holiday countdowns. I hear this all the time on NYC and Philly radio. It sounds great on the radio and I'm starting to think this will go Top 10 with ease.

I finally heard this on the radio over the past couple days and its HOT!

Wow, I just checked Mediabase and surprised to see this at No. 23 with a +300 bullet, even during the Holiday freeze.  I'm shocked as I didn't think this would do much. |

I was hearing this on the radio non-stop the week before Christmas but I don't think I've heard it since. It's plummeting on iTunes very fast too. I hope it still manages to become a big hit!

Are they really playing the Travie version?

I haven't heard another version on U.S. radio.
I expect this to do fairly well now. Not another #1 though.

I HATE this. It's annoying. He'll never top "Dynamite."

This has a slow but steady bullet but competition might keep this from a Top 10 peak at Pop radio.

Seems like his run will be exactly the same as Jason Derulo's. Two number ones, one top 10 and pathetic album sales.
