Cut at the knees b/c of that music video. Do you think it didn't live up to expectations because of lack of the MV? Possibly... But still it had a great promo - AMA performance, then the Voice performance with Christina Aguilera. It still couldn't become a smash hit. For instance, Dark Horse by Katy Perry was rising steadily at the same time even without MV, and then of course it became unescapable once the MV was released Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tension of the song actually needs the pull between the predator and the victim (audience/media + artist). unfortunately r kelly was a great fit for the song musically speaking.

GagaisHotAF 454 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago where is the weeknd as an option? he would have been great. if not him than usher. i would also like to hear chris brown on that song based on his voice alone, but obviously he would be a bad pick because he is awful Probably on Grindr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 15,633 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The Weeknd would have been the only one I would've truly wanted. He wasn't a huge name at that point though, he was just making his big breakthrough and wasn't established enough for big names to work with him yet. If he was as huge as he is now, who knows if he wouldn't have been selected for this instead? Don't know why so many of you voted for Usher, he's been pretty problematic for a while now. So many people in hip hop are controversial so on the whole, RnB would've been a safer feature but nothing's failsafe these days, but that wasn't a factor in 2012/2013. If DWUW was made today, no way would anyone remotely problematic be allowed to feature so it's a shame this great song has ended up practically forgotten outside her fans. It definitely needed a feature however. The solo version doesn't have enough lyrics and benefits from a male voice contrasting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
