Finally cheryl has released a decent song, after the abysmal "Fight for this Love"

The song 3 Words deserves to be a #1 single, however no matter what it will go to #1 anyway.


Rating:

"Fight for this Love" 2/5
"3 Words" 4/5

3 Words is one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time. Not a patch on Fight For This Love and it wouldn't trouble the top 40 if it wasn't done by Cheryl IMO.

But doesn't that go for, well, every song in the top 40? That they're there only because of who the artist is?

If I recorded and released Bad Romance and it sounded EXACTLY the same as Lady GaGa's version, it wouldn't enter the top 40 either because no one knows who I am.

For a song to enter the top 40 people need to know that it exists and the only 'real' way to do that is with lots of promotion which only rich folks like Cheryl can do.

If I had millions of pounds to spend on launching myself like Cheryl has I could get my version of Bad Romance into the top 40, I'm sure, but I don't have that.

I.e. it's not about the person, it's about the money behind them.
I'm not talking about a nobody releasing it. If another popular female singer did 3 Words and not Cheryl, I don't think it would do well at all. It's the fact it is by Cheryl who is untouchable at the moment that people are lapping it up.

Bad Romance done by someone like Katy Perry or Kesha would still be a big hit I think because the song is so strong. Probably not to the same extent as GaGa stamps her personality all over it but the song and melody as a whole are strong.

Fair enough then, but I simply disagree. Assuming it sounded the exact same, I think if another female singer released it would go into the top 40 without a problem - with the same promotion Cheryl has given it of course.

It's a really nice song IMO, it's very different to a lot of what else is in the charts at the moment and I think that is helping it.

sorry, but I think it's crap, in fight for this love, she sings, "too much of something can make you sick", how right she is !

I used to like her but this year I really can't stand her !

Her "night", in truly was the last straw

''I love you oohh ooh, I love youuuu'', a decent song? Jesus wept.

Its awful, depressing and down right dull. I'm in no way a Cheryl "fan", but her Parachute is a much better song, and should definetly have been the 2nd single.

At first I hated it, and I wasn't able to make myself listen to it the whole way through, but I've really started to like it now.

I think it's better than Fight for this Love, which I'm quite tired of now.

3 Words is a million times better than Fight For This Love.
I'll admit the first time that I heard 3 Words and saw the video I was like wtf?, this is really boring but I love it now It is a real slow burner so it doesn't grab you immediately but give it time. It is the type of track that slowly but surely burns its way into your brain.

Same here. At first, I was like "this sucks", but now I really like it. The question is, will we still like it in a few months time?

This The song is a pile of crap. Seriously how does that even class as a song? All it is, is her whining ooohhhh. Give me a break. At least FFTL had some words, christ.

One of the worst songs on the album. Parachute, Stand Up or Happy Hour would have been better. I think she's just trying to show she's a "proper" artist, because it isn't really a mainstream song.

the lyrics are absolute rubbish, embarrassingly bad, and they don't suit the song's style at all. the only good thing about the song is when will.i.am drops a decent beat, but even that doesn't last long, and over the top of it is a chorus of 'i love you, i love you, i love you, you are the love of my life.' wow, that's so inspired.

It reminds me of the kind of songs I used to make up when I was a little kid. My mums proberbly got something almost identical on cassette from when I was mucking about with the tape recorder.

Bloody awfull song, no doubt it will go straight to No1 as soon as Joe's 15 minutes are over. :sleep:
