NIGHTCRAWLER 6,985 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well, 143M views is really good so idk if I can call it a flop, but LWYMMD is +700M, Blank Space +2Md,... I heard LWYMMD a lot of times on radio, once I heard Gorgeous as well but I've never heard Ready for it. I'm kind of surprised because I think this is the best song of Reputation, it's better than LWYMMD anyway and, I mean, this is a total bop! My opinion is that, the MV screwed it up. It's good production and whatever but I'm not even sure I understood what it is about and it's really slow and there's not many different plans like in LWYMMD. The promo might have been less good as well, but considering how epic LWYMMD was for a lead, it's surprising that RFI didn't follow the same path.

SEANGT 5,280 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's not a catchy/good song IMO. I don't think the album has any songs that are hits. LWYMMD was a "comeback" single steeped in drama with a crazy video. You're right, the Ready For It video probably didn't help since it was boring and made no sense. Edit: She might be able to have another hit with the one with all the features/Ed Sheeran. I forgot the name of it. It's kinda good. lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCureinMalibu 45,913 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It debuted at #4 Billboard Hot 100 with 4 days of tracking week and 4 days of streaming week. It could have been debuted at #1 if it had a full tracking week. Plus the MV came out like almost 2 months after the song lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanripley 86,575 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 because the video has no replay value, imo yes it's very pretty and very expensive but like... that's about it i had no desire to watch it again and again like LWYMMD https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runway 27,876 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Its noisy and unpleasant for radio listeners. Her Judas indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordinarynam1310 2,453 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The video came out 2 months after the release plus i dont think watching her cosplaying Ghost in the Shell is that interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumours 45,521 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know a lot of people were turned off by LWYMMD. I think the era itself could have been as big as 1989 if she had released End Game as the lead (as it and NYD are the only songs on Reputation that I bothered listening to again .) Just now, Runway said: Its noisy and unpleasant for radio listeners. Her Judas indeed That’s an interesting comparison that I hadn’t thought of... but yeah I think you might be right.

FATCAT 60,039 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 She's trying to rap. It doesn't work for her, and it makes her sound absolutely terrible. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDG91 373 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I heard it quite a few times on the radio here in Seattle. Honestly I don’t think it’s a flop. It just doesn’t play it nonstop on the radio like it has with some of her other songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger 3,933 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Interestingly, her label chose Gorgeous as the single in my country. As far as RFI views, the video kind of sucks. The chorus is catchy but the production isn't radio friendly. It's a song only fans can love ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
