This will be amazing on tour. It's like her Till The World Ends/We R Who We R.

on the second listen... nicki, why?

nadja. I had the same reaction, but whats done is done. She's made a generic decision which is really unfortunate because she didnt need this. However lets just take it for what it is: a fun party dance song. Ugh. I just think: she wants to stay in everyone's eye so she can release her hip-hop so she better show and prove in that regard on the album.RH seemed promising enough for me. (The song not that awful performance)

Oh Lord Nicki, what am I going to do with you.

[Quiqui4eva]

They're going to play "Starships" on my radio! Can't wait.

Barbz, this isn't the end of the world. It's only one Pop track she has released for PF:RR so far. There's nothing wrong with having something on the album for more than just the Hip-Hop audience.

Haven't heard the song yet, though.

i think thats the thing about her diversity. every has to wait a long ass turn to get what they "specifically want" on her menu. the blessing/ curse of her diversity

Nicki has so many things she wants to do and try, but she's already done TMO, which is currently quite a big song here in Australia, and I'm going to assume that it is big in the US/UK and the rest of the world (I haven't kept up to date with TMO's WW performance). Going from TMO to this, it's like, where's the difference? Where has she possibly grown as an artist, or brought something new to the table? I can 'forgive' TMO because it was a feature on Guetta's album, but for her to release this song by herself... I'm currently jamming, but I was expecting something new for Nicki. Especially after being slayed so much by yesterday.

you and i both. As soon as I heard it I said NO!! I cant believe she actually chose this generic ass beat. I hate it so much because I was expecting a Super Bass part 2. Something so unique to her. Something no one else can emulate. It's generic but I cant be too mad since this album may have an SB pt 2 on it and more hip-hop tracks like RH and RIM. Whats done is done.

I hope Nicki gets her first #1 with this, I can see it happening. I pray that this and TMO are the only two songs like this on PF:RR.

[RainMan]

I ****ING LOOOOVE THIS!!







This better smash summer 2012!!!

[Willy.]

She needed this though, this will guarantee sales for the album.

It's better she did this, after all the backlash from the AMAZING Grammy performance.

[Cz!]

Is this actually RedOne? I thought it was Dr. Luke again...

[HaHa2011]

This will definitely smash!
It is very catchy

True, this will give her the smash she needs and work her way into the public's good books again.

Ah. I thought I heard a bit of Carl and Rami influence in there. Now I know why it doesn't sound totally recycled RedOne.

On the contrary, regardless of how well this song does on radio, it wont bring in sales. Generic songs dont do that. Hence why she should release RH!!! If RH is released people will buy into that side of Nicki more than this side.

[Quiqui4eva]

It's really cute! I just didn't like the breakdown. I think she could've used the beat right before the breakdown and used that as the actual breakdown as well. Other than that, great song!

If "Super Bass" made people buy the album, so can this single. Plus, she can release other Urban tracks if that's what you want. It's good to attract both audiences.

But sis no matter how good RH is, people will associate with the "blasphemous" performance, and it wouldn't be smart to release RH as the first single, at least NOT yet.

Let this smash on Pop, then at the end of the single era release RH to urban.
