Black Eyed Peas have been releasing songs sounding like that since 2009 now.
But yeah, I don't think that particular song is generic, to be honest.
Poker Face, Just Dance, Bad Romance, Telephone, Paparazzi are very generic, but this is nowhere near as generic.
Also, JLS have released a few non-generic songs like The Club is Alive, One Shot, Eyes Wide Shut and Beat Again. Their only real generic songs Everybody in Love and Love You More.
It's kind of sad, because this remix is actually very good in my opinion, but I bet the original version will be some more radio-friendly generic pop song with dance beats.

I just wish her first single could be something a bit more creative. Like something you don't usually hear on the radio. Like when Boom Boom Pow and Pass Out were first released, a lot of radio stations didn't want to playlist them because they weren't mainstream enough. I can guarantee whatever Lady Gaga releases next will be playlisted by every single radio station in the country, because her songs seem to be deliberately MOR.
