This song initially leaked way back in 2010 when the album first came out, so it's not "rush recorded." And she's far from the first artist to re-release a record for the sake of making more money, so I'm really not sure where the vehement hatred is coming from. This. This album kind of earned a re-release. Unlike many albums that get rereleased because they forgot to put hits on them ::coughushercough:: LOL. That makes me think they're even lazier! "We need another #1 hit and we don't really have to try hard with Katy right now, so let's not waste money coming up with a quick song. There's already one hanging around." It's not only Katy... it's Rihanna and whomever else can't sing better than the average karaoke singer you heard in a bar.

besides..as much as i love whitney..she didn't have any involvement in writing or producing the song...she basically did what Clive told her. But Whitney has a powerful instrument that Katy definitely doesn't have. In addition to the vast range Whitney has, listen the soul and expression in her voice. I just heard "Why Does It Hurt So Bad" on the radio which is kind of a boring song on paper, but especially towards the end comes amazing. Whitney isn't just singing it... her projection tells the story of hurting far more than singing the words "it hurts so bad" can. Katy has an average voice. It's not a bad voice at all, but can it tell a story or reveal emotion? In Whitney's case, that's such a unique and powerful voice that it doesn't matter that she shows up for puppet type songs, because we'd be deprived of something really special. What's so special about or indispensable about Katy?

Was there some sort of performance? No... just a "social media campaign."

Considering they performed this on the Grammy's and Guetta's dumbass US publicist doesn't want "Titanium" released in the US... I'm expecting this as the next single. Blah.

Damn her for f**king with Whitney.
Katy really annoys me right now. I was cool with her throughout the era and even when she released all these lame remixes to try to fool around with the charts. Maybe it's because real Pop talent is in our face right now with the all of the Whitney remembrances and Adele's Grammy success, but the contrast really stands out to me. We have these incredible vocalists who take their time in constructing songs and won't release them til their perfect, then we have a song like "Part of Me" which was rush recorded and rush released by an average vocalist to try to steal records from those who worked hard to achieve them. I'm so sick of Katy right now and I actually LIKED her at one point.

It's weird because Z100 definitely added it. I heard it on there already today on their countdown... but they didn't report it to AllAccess for some reason.

It's REALLY frustrating to me that he wasn't allowed to release "Beautiful People" because his publicist thought another dance song would damage his US image. Then they go and make a very generic and redundant DANCE song ABOUT throwing your hands up and dancing and make that his new single. Ugh.
I do like this song but in a very casual, if it's on the radio kind of way. "BP" I legit like and have on my iPod.

KIIS is well. This is likely going to leap into the Top 10 of the Hot 100 this week. I wish Gotye was getting this attention instead

This is pulling in pre-impact adds in markets that never even added dance songs that went Top 20 last year. It's still too early to tell but this is looking more and more like a real hit.

Upbeat Adele just in time for the summer. This is a lot closer to "Rolling in the Deep" than the past two singles and people will appreciate the change of pace. She's still selling tons of albums and singles. I think this would have flopped as a second or maybe even third single, but she's perfectly positioned to take anything to the top.

This is awful. It sounds like a mix of Pink's "Raise Your Glass" mixed with every dance-pop song of the past two years. She's so far off from her base now.

This is still pre-impact too. He's off to a great start. I'm really hoping this breaks ice that "Stereo Love" and "Mr. Saxobeat" couldn't.

I see that too. Plus, Madonna recruited M.I.A. for her song and then throws her under the bus. In all fairness, I doubt M.I.A. was expecting this whole incident to be... an incident.

Madonna looks like a b*tch for not backing M.I.A. I agree but I also think there's more to it. So much work and money has gone into winning the American public back over this time. Madonna's handlers are NOT going to let her throw it all away by being tied to a controversial movement. I'm sure Madonna's publicist, record label head, etc etc etc told her exactly how to handle it. It's no coincidence that she waited a few days to give her first interview. I'm sure those days were spent calculating how to approach it.

It's not that I dislike her per se, but I really really want her to go away for a while.

Such an odd iTunes #1. Crazy how much one 30 second commercial has done for this song.
