Chuckles 2,549 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This song is not even timeless like We Found Love. Work now ties WFL for Rihanna's record of most consective weeks at #1. More imporant discussion, will it go to #1 next week too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstreak 6,653 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Seriously? I've yet to meet anyone out in public who genuinely likes this song Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raikov 183 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The power of streaming, I guess. Of course, the rest of the top 10 is utterly forgettable, imo. Work sucks, but the rest of the top 10 sucks more. It's disappointing because, imo, Rihanna's had much better singles. Which means one thing: when Lady Gaga's lead single comes out, you guys better stream it like there's no tomorrow. There's zero excuse for Work to be #1 for nine weeks and Gaga not be #1.

Is that the cool thing now? I notice it too. A lot of songs now have incoherent mumbling, lazy enunciation, bad vocals, silly accents, obnoxious laughing and daft sound effects. I'm completely stumped as to why we're giving them the time of day. By supporting them, we telling artists this is the kind of music they should make. 19 hours ago, BrianxRyan said: Rihanna has countless #1s against competition far more than Uptown Funk. I don't know if you just cannot dance. The song is played a lot at clubs and definitely easily to dance to... there are lyric sites. This is America. It's not hard to try to understand other dialects. If it was Spanish, I doubt it would get the same treatment. Maybe back then but not now. There simply isn't another song that's as big as that one in the US right now, so it can easily go to the top. I can dance, it's just that this one just can't ignite that feeling within me. It's weird because the dancing in the video doesn't match up to the actual tempo of the song - it's either too fast or slowed down too much. Yes, there are lyrics available, but that still doesn't help my enjoyment. I don't like lazy singing and lyrics that are hard to decipher. I don't want to have to remember a "translation" every time I hear a song. Thing is, even looking at the supposed lyrics, I have a hard time even believing these are the case. I mean, when she says "When you gonna learn, learn. learn, learn, learn," I'm convinced she's just saying "luh luh luh luh luh." And when she says "me nah care if he hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting," I hear nothing but "ta ta ta ta ta ta." That's just what I hear and I'm surprised that anyone else could possibly translate it into anything else. Never mind how she totally goes lazy when she says "work," just making it sound like "wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh." That isn't Caribbean speak, that's just lazy singing, they're not the same thing. Caribbean is a very hard dialect to understand, the way the words are spoken so fast and seem to fuse together. I normally have a great ear for accents but when traditional Caribbean dialects come into play, I'm lost. If I spoke in my traditional Scottish dialect and accent, most of you would be lost (maist a' ye wid b' loast!) and I wouldn't feel offended about that. Certain dialects aren't recognised as an official language, so you don't have a book that you can look up translations and they're not widely known or taught in school. It doesn't mean you're ignorant or don't want to learn. And when you say if it was in Spanish, it wouldn't get the same treatment, what do you mean? It would do better/worse, or get it treated better/worse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGC 226 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I don't really understand the underperformance of BBHMM at this point. Still, Work is enyojable in a certain way. It's far from being her best song (still miss her Loud-TTT eras) but it's definitely a grower. I hated it at the beginning, now I have it on my playlist. I don't really know why, but it's captivating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
