Travis 543 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You don't have to like it if you don't want to. Don't worry, it's definitely not my favorite! But Stay is a ballad, and it didn't need a flashy fast paced video. The video they made fits it, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleted 0 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What bothers me the most is that its a blatant ripoff of midnight city by m83. Theyre literally almost te exact same song with minor differences. If it were better i wouldve given it a pass but its like really flat and her vocals are egh lol no.

misanthrope 15 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 lol no. They are almost EXACTLY the same. It pains me that no one admits to it or bothers to point it out. Its apparent from the second the song begins. Mash them up and the song hardly changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 MTV: Rihanna Was Original Choice For Fun.'s 'We Are Young' 'I know [Rihanna] liked the song ... [but] Janelle [Monáe] worked out to be the perfect choice,' says song producer Jeff Bhasker. Everyone has a wish list, even Grammy-winning rock superstars. So, who was on Fun.'s pie-in-the-sky lineup when they were casting about for a female voice for their Grammy-winning smash "We Are Young"?
 Rihanna, and it almost happened. "They said, 'who can we get? And I said, 'let's get Rihanna,'" explained the song's producer, Jeff Bhasker, who joined the trio's members on stage on Sunday to scoop up the Song of the Year
 honor. It might have seemed like a brash call for a band who, at that point, had put out one barely-noticed album and was not expected to set the world on fire with their second. "We were shooting for the stars on everything and she was kind of a muse," said Bhasker, who has worked with everyone from Alicia Keys to Bruno Mars, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones after making his name writing songs and creating beats for Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak. Bhasker said Rih was their touchstone for the album, with pictures of her hanging all over the studio as they were recording. "But everything works out for a reason and Janelle [Monáe] worked out to be the perfect choice," said Bhasker, who was still trying to figure out where he was going to put his third Grammy when MTV News caught up with him on Wednesday. "She brought the right element of a great soulful flavor that we wanted for the album." But why didn't the Rihanna ask work out? "Someone tried to reach out and I know she heard the song and liked it," he said. "But I think some wires just got crossed." Even before Rihanna came in, and out, of the picture, the song could have ended up way different. Bhasker said the beat for "We Are Young" was "an inch" away from being on Kanye and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne album. "They were going to rap over the beat, but everything gets changed at the last minute," said Bhasker, who offered his pal 'Ye the beat before he began working with Fun. "I was working with them on Watch the Throne when I met [Fun. singer] Nate [Ruess] and I said, 'maybe you guys want to mess with this' and [Ruess] really liked it a lot. In the end, it didn't quite fit on [Throne] because it's a big pop song on an album they wanted to have a undergroundness and counter culture sensibility." At the time, though, Bhasker said he was "devastated" that a beat he really loved had not made it onto Jay and 'Ye's album. But like the Janelle-for-Rihanna swap it, of course, fell into place just right in the end. "Then, luckily, the song took off on its own and it worked out for everybody." Here's the full article.

ALX 170 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is it really that big of a deal though lol no sorry i don't hear any resemblance. Yes it is actually because it detracts from the entire song. Songs are sung, accents are verbal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidDays 244 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 They are almost EXACTLY the same. It pains me that no one admits to it or bothers to point it out. Its apparent from the second the song begins. It uses the same chord progression, but my god, it really makes the song sound like a complete ripoff. I still like it though. O_~ Diamonds will always be my fav track of unapologetic and is much better than the mess that stay is imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommymonster44 0 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 A lot of people don't like Diamonds because of the accent, though. It's not just limited to GGD. Honestly, the lyrics to Diamonds are nothing special. The terrible fake accent was the deal breaker. I don't like it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
