Seeing as the quality of any song is completely subjective, it probably will be down to that.
I really don't see how quality is subjective. Appeal is subjective but quality isn't.
I mean, honestly, what qualities does this song have?
The lyrics are atrocious, the vocals are too effected and computerised and, from the single/hit aspect,it's not that catchy. The only slightly catchy bit is the "i am the DJ, you can be my dancefloor" or whatever the line is!

I guess its what you mean by quality...
Taste is subjective... I mean from your posts you seem to like the dreary same old crap that Leona pumps out - I dont thats a taste thing - is it a quality thing?
Personally, OK The Club is Alive aint music breaking stuff, but its catchy and is radio friendly and will do very well
Don't like it at all, especially the tinkered vocals side of it.
Having said that it will be a big hit. It's a brand new song and every one of their multitude of fans will buy it, they're Golden aren't they and can do no wrong, I believe that if they were to record their version of Nellie the Elephant it'd hit the top spot.
I'm going to be very interested to hear what the media has to say about it though.

A quality song isn't about whether it's radio friendly or catchy. They're most likely the qualities of a SINGLE.
And the quality isn't determined by whether it's uplifting or "dreary". :rolleyes:
It's obviusly about the lyrics, inspiration, interpretation, vocal performance, effects on the listener etc.
But, yes, taste is clearly subjective. And i guess it's how people define a "quality song". But from the most objective view i can give, it is not a quality song. Just awful.
And, btw, i do like them as a vocal group. Their music is just poor though.

The media will give them a free pass. Gordon Smart (from The Sun's Bizarre column) clearly thinks it's rubbish, but wrote a pretty soft puff piece saying how it's got too much auto-tune for his liking, but that the JLS fans will eat it up and it's that kind of song that might do well in America.
I think some of the press don't want to look foolish, in case JLS do translate their British success to the States. Which may explain Popjustice's woefully OTT praise for the track (that even 95% of their readers disagree with). By the looks of things, Everybody In Love can pretty much be written off as a flop in America, as it's been on radio for months and is basically going nowhere. Maybe they think a song like this will help them crack America. It may be their last shot, as Everybody In Love got massive radio support in America. If their next song gets radio support and fails, it's back to the UK.

You can't really say that an act is flopping the US so early. They're unknown there, tbf. It's going to take a few more months to judge that. Apparently they're doing well on radio.
As for this song, obviously its not their best work (IMO) but its not as disastrous as people are making it out to be. It has a great hook and its certainly different to what they've done before, in terms of speed etc.
I wasn't keen on the first listen. I like it more on a second listen, so maybe it will grow on people It will probably do well on the radio and the dance floor. I do agree it's over digitised though:o

Quality is still subjective though - what effects you and what you find inspiring as a listerner is completely different to the next person. Being a Leona fan as you are i'm guessing you think most if not all of her material is quality but to non Leona fans its not in the slightest.

An attempt to sound street. :rolleyes:
Bieber was originally going to record One Shot?
Yeah.

Oh my God that is even worse than the preview! :eek:
If they go to #1 with this, it's seriously not down to the quality of the song. *pukes*
Finally! Someone who agrees with me
I was right, I love it now.
Too much auto-tune though - I suppose it's alright for this song, but hopefully the rest of the album won't be the same.

I'd give it a 2/5.
