By the way Seba, you're quoting me as talking about "[Only]". I was talking about the new song for EMA performance.

She wrote it untill proven otherwise.

The backtrack.  You were talking about the rumored next single produced by Dr. Luke, which ended up being Only, so yeah.

Yeah definitely. If he didn't, he could have just used another vocalist.

Performing Hey Mama wont do anything for her album, it will sell Davids album but not her own, plus Hey Mama hasnt even been confirmed to be a single yet, Davids current single is Dangerous, why would Nicki perform a non single?
Her performing Anaconda wouldnt do that much, the hype is gone for that song, it has peaked, she needs to move on, its not like that song will re peak anywhere, and it would be a waste performing a two month old song.

1. Hey Mama is promo for her because she's the one singing the whole song. TMO is basically her song, and she promoted that everywhere.
2. Anaconda is a month old in the UK, and it will probably be performed because it's one of the biggest hip-hop hits and she never performed it there. That doesn't mean she can't perform other songs.
3. Only is the next single, and I would have no problem with her performing it (her verse at least).

That's very naive. Anyway I'm glad David Guetta didn't get sucked into giving her a false credit. There's nothing wrong with singing other people's lyrics, and it's a step in the right direction for Nicki in diversifying her lyrics beyond the regular content.

Go and re-read. I even put it as a point she'd release an urban single for US radio.
I was wrong in assuming that urban single would come after the EMAs, not before.

Most this thread doesn't want them on the album because it's meant to be a hip-hop album. Like hardcore rap and all that stuff. These songs - even if they're her biggest songs in years - aren't what these fans want.
Then some people don't want Bang Bang because it's really only a feature that's glorified as an "&" on iTunes. If she sang the whole song, or had a solo version, yeah maybe?
And Hey Mama is Nicki singing somebody else's song. She has no writing credits, and unlike Marilyn Monroe or Beautiful Sinner, she can't even fake put her name in the song credit. So in principle, it shouldn't be on the album.
Gotta remember, most people buy the deluxe anyway, so Nicki needs to be careful with the tracklist and the message she puts out with it. If she's trying to make a point, then she should make it clearly.
Most her pop/dance fans are pretty forward thinking, so it makes no difference to us if the Hey Mama song is on her album or not. We know for fact she'll be performing it anyway live at concert, and in fact the song stands a better chance at being successful if she's not in-charge of its release or video.

Yes, because we don't stan for success.

How about you post if you like a song or not without the business aspect to it? Just once please.
Because tbh most of us could care less. And I'm saying that in the nicest way possible.

She could perform her verse in Only followed by Anaconda followed by the new track she said she was performing?

1. It doesnt matter, it makes no sense for her performing Hey Mama when its not even a single right now.
2. UK is not Europe, and even if the song was released in the UK recently, i just dont see it being performed there, i just feel, even in the UK, the hype for that song is gone.
But i can see her performing a medley of the song, like opening with Anaconda and then moving to a new song or something. But not her performing Anaconda only.
3. Only is the next single in the US, and EMAs is totally the wrong audiance for that song, it would be just weird for her performing it, and performing just one verse would be even more stranger tbh.

Some time ago, I remember hearing this audio or commercial that had a funky beat and it said this:
Quote:
Hey mama, Hey ma ma
Hey mama, Hey ma ma
Hey mama, Hey ma ma
Hey mama,
Hey Hey!
|
I don't remember where this is from, but can someone help me find where this came from? Idk why, but I have a strong feeling that the quote I just posted will be sampled in the Nicki/Guetta track.

Obviously not true. Just last week... There were serious meltdowns that she's not going to sell well or get to #1. Don't try and pretend otherwise. That crap happened.

Did Nicki or anyone ever actually confirm that Only is the official 3rd single for all formats?
