LISTEN: Bang Bang - Jessie J Ft. Ariana Grande Ft. Nicki Minaj

[idldte 2]

It's not a basic song. Very little songs sound like this.

You know why it's gonna be a hit? Yes, because of the featured artists, but also because casual pop music listeners aren't close-minded "ultra-artistic" music experts that some GGD members are and are actually CAPABLE of liking pop music instead of narrowing themselves down to only certain types. This song took effort to make, clearly, yet all anyone in this thread has are criticisms. Some aren't even about the music!

I like all of Ariana's singles this era, I like this song, I like Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks and Pharrell and Marina and the Diamonds and Lana Del Rey and Porcelain Black and Sia and Katy Perry and every artist from incredibly 'basic' pop music to the more complextro artists. Yet all everyone on GGD ever tries to do is divide people based on their music taste. What the **** is so wrong about just liking music anymore? Why must I feel bad or 'basic' for liking a particular artist?

There's no such thing as an awful music listener, but if there was it would be the people who don't like an extraordinary amount of music. When it all comes down to it, it's simply your problem that your tastes aren't broad enough to enjoy music, and I truly pity you.

 

So because we don't like this song, our tastes aren't broad and we're ignorant? No. Anyone is free to like the song, but we are also free to dislike it. Jessie J has been on decline for a good few years. Her last album flopped badly and she had to come out and say "I'm not a flop! I just have to re-evaluate my life."

 

This is horrible. Boring as hell and basic. WTF happened to Jessie J? She was brilliant:

M.E.S.S

 

theres a 4th voice there lmfao, which is basically what i liked with this song.

 

poor ha

[AmenTheNight 1,080]

Jessie J singing like she's the Beyoncé out of these three when she's not even the Kelly Rowland

[MahoganySnitch 67]

I like it

[panosmonster 1,466]

i love jessie j. that's all 

[ithinkweed 142]

I like Ariana's and Nicki's parts. Can someone edit Jessie out? :laughga:

[StressedOut 647]

I like it :awesome:

[TRILL MONSTER 1,113]

I see Jessie's hair grew back after getting it snatched last album

[ALX 170]

it's a great song

 

I'd love to see it hit #1 but then Nicki would have her first #1 and that's the last thing she needs for her ego 

[angelatbh 0]

It's catchy. I like.

[nikola 4,342]

jessie j has really good voice but she tried so much to hit high notes that it all turned into screaming and also i would replace ariana(nothing againt her) with someone else she just does not fit in the song in my opinion you can bearly hear her

[Willy Wonka 4]

Ariana doesn't sound as good as Jessie on the song.

It really sounds like a broadway song. Like, I wouldn't be shocked if it were from Hairspray.

Chic <3 I'm so sick of this site and their obsession with the word basic. JUST FYI EVERYBODY PEOPLE DO MAKE MUSIC FOR FUN. Not every song has to be a damn art piece. Also now a days artists can't work with people they enjoy without being desperate for a hit? What kind of logic? Anyways. I enjoy the song. Jessie's vocals slay me and if anything I've loved her music from her last album on more than the previous stuff. Ariana's verse was amazing. It was s-xy. Nicki never dissapoints. Now on the third listen I'm sure this will be a major smash.

This has been my jam all day, and I agree that it doesn't necessarily mean it's for a hit. I think all three singers worked their magic on this track, it's stellar! Lots of comparability with their vocals. I don't usually listen to Jessie J but her vocals here are so so so good. I love this track so much!

[Pity Party 743]

Not a fan of it.
