Bless Xtina for featuring on another hit. Truly the Ashanti of 2013

 

[botty]

SAYYYYY!!!!!

Her power!

 

[SaintZ]

I went to get cheeseburger last night and the lady who was preparing it had the radio on then, Feel This Moment came on. It was my first time listening to the song and... I liked it x___x It is the first time I can say I like a Pitbull song and tbh, Xtina made it bearable for me.

 

[Trigger]

Bless. This thread needs new music.

EDIT- I'm bopping.

Well, she is the reason the song is getting all this success.

 

[Kyon]

Well she is the only one singing on the song. So of course

BUT WHERE was my unintentional shade

 

[DMeisterJ]

I compared her to Ashanti and talked about how she could only feature on hit songs. It was dropping with shade.

 

[Supermanisdead]

omg this is good.

 

[Bladenic]

I compared her to Ashanti and talked about how she could only feature on hit songs. It was dropping with shade.

Indeed. And the Extinct fans are pretending she's the reason for the success, when Pitbull is a certified singles artist worldwide. But we should expect no less delusion.

#Boo, you tried it.

It is NO coincidence that of the FOUR singles from Global Warming (including one that had the support of being used for the Men in Black movie, and another featuring Shakira) it is the single featuring Xtina that is the only one to not flip and flop off the charts. It is the Power of Xtina.

#SorryBoutIt

Radio won't play her music but it should be clear now that she still has an audience checking for her. She NEEDS to PROMOTE and FIX her radio problem. ;___;

 

[Nemesis_]

Here for this

 

[royalan]

Just to remind you all what a real flop looks like:

"Body Party" is the new single from Ciara's unreleased album One Woman Army.

This will be the fourth single released before the album actually drops.

The poor dear...

 

[Kyon]

Well at least I didn't have to promote CiSUS in here *O* RoySUS does such a great job at promoting tbh

 

[SaintZ]

That cover looks like something out of the 90's.

L.A. Reid said he was going to focus on Ciara and Avril this year and if this is the way he's handling things... I'm afraid for my canadian queen. He better not fuck this era uP.

 

[Trigger]

I feel bad for Ciara.

Spoiler

Maybe she'll have a hit if she collabs with Pitbull too?

 

[effe]

lol avril's time has COME and GONE.

Funny you say that...

IconiC

*O*

Only CiSUS. Icicle would be proud

 

[Wafflecakes]

Full audio (poor quality) of Kelly's new country single performed live.

I can't deal with this "Cisus" nonsense.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

Funny you say that...

Funny you say that too. My fave did that cover in 1988.

Welp, can't say I was expecting that.

Prince, his impact. *.*

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

Lol. Prince is such a pioneer. That was my first CD too, and I wasn't ashamed to purchase it either.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Full audio (poor quality) of Kelly's new country single performed live.

THAT's more like it.

This is EXACTLY the type of country I was hoping Kelly would do. And the lyrics of the song + name dropping of Pop legends seem to imply that she's not going to commit to one genre over the other. GOOD.

Also that Jared Evan album is pretty good. Oop @ JT.

 

[Wafflecakes]

THAT's more like it.

Yeah it better slay. If Cuntry will still play Taylor..... they damn well better play Kelly who is a good 3-4x MORE country than Taylor. This is EXACTLY the type of country that I had hoped she would do.


Also 20/20 news.

Apparently HDD has upped its first weeks projections up to 500k. That seems a bit high for me but it looks like he is doing a truly massive amount of promo for it. So who knows? I am far more interested to see whether the album has actual hits that don't require payola to launch.

Spoiler

I have decided to be nicer to JT for a while since he (rightly) called Kelly's voice the best voice in the "universe" after her Grammy performance.

Now my interest has been piqued.

I'm not a sales person, but I'm curious to see if JT will rise or flop.

 

[royalan]

I no longer care how his album will do, so convinced am I that the music will be awful.

Speaking of album sales...Waffle-sis, do you still have that list of album sale predictions you did a while back? Did I give a prediction for Justin?

Lol I completely forgot about those. Yes I still have them though we only did Britney, Bey, and Gaga. Didn't even think to add JT after his album was announced.

 

[royalan]

Hmmmm...

I'm going to continue holding off on a prediction for Britney, but if you add a section for Justin...I'm going to predict 350k for ha.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Hmmmm...

I'm going to continue holding off on a prediction for Britney, but if you add a section for Justin...I'm going to predict 350k for ha.

Sure thing.

I am thinking 400k personally. I think HDD is overestimating his appeal.

Spoiler

Maybe I will make a contest out of it. I am sitting on a bunch of Amazon/iTunes gift cards right now.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Not that I'm taking my numbers back, but we made those predictions before we realized that Beyoncé wasn't going to use the Superbowl to launch her campaign and before Gaga busted her hip! I guess I'll go with 300,000 for JT.

Feel free to make adjustments.

For the predictions other than JT I will probably make a cutoff date of a few weeks before release.

This is amazing. I loved Kelly's energy. She was werking that stage. I would definitely buy this song in a heartbeat.

Oh, and Crumpet can deal with him not being the only Kelly fan on POPGAF anymore.

Spoiler

Love ya sis. <3

 

[Dr. Malik]

I'm going to predict 275k for Disgustin

 

[botty]

Beyonce: 250k
Lady Gaga: 350k
Britney: 200k
Justin: 200k

There ya go, waffles.

 

[Trigger]

Lady Gaga: 1 million!!
Britney: 700k
Justin: 600k

Those are my missing predictions. I see nothing but success for all of my faves.

 

[Supermanisdead]

I retract all my predictions. I quit the sales game.

 

[Fey]

oooh can i be added? *.*

beyonce - 275k
gaga - hmmmm ... i'll go with 400k right now.
britney - 230k
justin - 250k

 

[DMeisterJ]

Not these low first week album predictions.

Y'all are a mess.

 

[Trigger]

I retract all my predictions. I quit the sales game.

I C the Beyhive hedging their bets.

 

[botty]

Not these low first week album predictions.

Y'all are a mess.

Can you blame us, though? When global pop acts like Rihanna can only bring in 230k first week sales, we can't expect much from local acts.

No shade.

I've seen what sales obsession does to the mind. #nvay

[DMeisterJ]

I see PIU is at 80M AI. What kind of urban/rhythmic smash? And Marius, you "forgot" to highlight stay in red for clocking over a two million update.

And not Mimi already clocking negative updates. Poor Diamonds ripoff.

Can you blame us, though? When global pop acts like Rihanna can only bring in 230k first week sales, we can't expect much from local acts.

No shade.

I can't imagine the meltdowns if these pop stars open near what Rihanna did.

 

[Koodo]

I want to amend my Beyoka prediction down to 305,000. This is a safe enough number; I doubt she'll debut higher even with a hit since all the major promotion has been exhausted.

And my Britney prediction will go up to 355,000. The success and exposure of S&S, and her renewed visage are raising my expectationS.

My ARTPOP prediction stays the same. GODGA will rise like a phoenix.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Wait, I also want to bring down my Beyonce prediction to 290k

I thought she would release around the Super Bowl before

 

[Koodo]

Oh, I forgot about Disgustin's 20/20. Let me predict 340,000. A lukewarm number for the grotesque amount of promotion, and clocked by the ex-girlfriend he is still obsessed with.

Kleptoncé's 5 = 305,000
Gaga's ARTPOP = 670,000
Britney's 8 = 355,000
Disgustin's 20/20 = 340,000

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lady Gaga: 1 million!!
Britney: 700k
Justin: 600k

JT is one of your fav's now?

oooh can i be added? *.*

beyonce - 275k
gaga - hmmmm ... i'll go with 400k right now.
britney - 230k
justin - 250k

Ok I THINK I got everyone. If I made any mistakes or missed you let me know.

I amended my Bey prediction downwards a bit. I also expect a release within weeks of the super bowl. I revised up my Brit prediction.

(I think that for everyone BUT JT I will cut off predictions when debut singles hit)

 

[3phemeral]

I feel left out, but I'm horrible with these predictions so I'll just watch from the sidelines.
