[@JennaLeigh]

I've said this forever about Ariana. she can sing her ass off, but her music doesn't show those skills off. when she's goofing off on SNL or the tonight show she's amazing. oddly enough, her albums, with music written for her and selected for her does her no favors. she has "moments" in almost every song, but otherwise it sounds like she was playing "chubby bunny" and forgot to spit out the marshmallows.

[@Viddaric]

I'll be honest, the fact that this song isn't actually sexy at all is what makes it work for me. The wordplay and punchlines go with a big, bombastic background really well. It's basically "Sexy and I Know It" only from the woman's prospective, less focused on body image and more on attitude, and actually good because it doesn't sound like garbage and has punchlines that are actually halfway clever.

[@KPater-mf4je]

It's from the perspective of a home-wrecker and it celebrates sluttiness. There is nothing empowering for women at all -- the lyrics are basically saying "ditch your girlfriend because she won't do the crazy sex shit that I'm willing to do for you because I'm totally morally unrestrained". And a sexy song is allowed to sound sexy and still be from a woman's perspective (see: Venus by Shocking Blue). This song is obviously a copy, both in lyric and in melody, of Lady Marmelade. Whereas Lady Marmelade was discreet in its sexual references (seeing how it's an old song that was even performed on the freaking Beethoven movie, it's a given) and told a tale about one woman in particular who was a Creole prostitute, this song makes no pretense of shamelessness and it sounds like the singers are boasting about their ratchet hoe mentality. While the song's probably empowering to other ratchet hoes and nymphomaniacs out there, we would be living in a sad world indeed if all straight men would ditch hard-working, pretty or friendly girls in favor of hookers with a bad attitude and a drug problem. As for the punchlines -- where are they? There is no cleverness in this, it's faux-cleverness, like when a bad rapper tries to be hip with references but also can't be arsed to find anything to rhyme with "Link" so he pretends that Zelda's the protagonist of LoZ. This is Chris Brown's idea of cleverness.

I love the concept of this song both lyrically and musically (lyrically as in "let's just be loud and call it a song") I think the vocal melodies are pretty good but I think the production is a little too aired out. Like there need to be something more going on, maybe some brass section stuff? I don't know, the bassline is so simple it feels like nothing's going on at points. The real problem for me is something about the vocals. I swear there's autotune or something, if there isn't, then something about Jessie J's voice specifically sounds really weird. Maybe she's just too nasally or something. The song demonstrates that she's a good singer, but doesn't demonstrate that she's a *great* singer. Same with Ariana, a bit too nasally.

I think Jessie J is a very talented singer. She has a huge vocal range and can really belt it out. However, I think she'd be better suited to a different genre. Put her with a rock or jazz band and she could do something amazing. But instead she seems to want to be a pop star, so she does the same pop songs written by the same pop artists, that's why she may appear to have no personality. It's not her, it's the teams or writers and producers that make her sound like everybody else. I've heard recordings of her just singing, no auto tune, no effects, just her singing into her webcam and it sounds ten times better than anything she's ever released.

[@Brax1982]

Jessie J is an outstanding vocalist, but a pretentious artist. She's as fake as what she preached everyone else to be ever since Price Tag. I think she has given up on a pop career, now. Her latest album series is more soul than pop. Plus, she just won the Singer 2018 competition in China. Big bucks for her over there.

[@robpardo931]

I almost died at the 'too many cooks' reference. Yes Todd, it will be funny until the end of time

[@beneales]

3:14 Why did I not see a Victorious reference coming?

[@SkottyB]

Dude, Nicki's verse is crazy sexual. Kitten so good it's drippin on wood.....?

[@maggie6319]

[@WeepingWillow6497]

Dec. 26th 2021 here; too many cooks jokes are still funny when done well, and this is an example of that.

[@RubyLioness]

1:39 makes sense actually. She was supposed to be a hot character bc Dan Schneider is a very creepy man 🥴

[@Viewbob_True]

It's 2021, and I still laugh too hard at the Too Many Cooks joke

[@ZuzannaFavesDie]

2019 was the year of ariana all over again i swear

[@ffjreviews9029]

Yes it was a year for Ariana, an awful year for Ariana

[@LiveAsDiva]

I love... Jessie J..... And her vocal range amazing

[@Ninjaverse45]

Jessie J - she made Price Tag and shaved her hair. Oh and was a classmate of Adele when she went to a college. Look it up, I'm not lying.

[@TYcarterTracks]
