What do you all think of this? I've never really cared for Jessie before, but this song is an absolute stamper. LOVE IT!

Even though i love the song, mostly because of the energy she brings when she performs it and just catchy as hell but i am confused by it. It literally come out of nowhere. It's not on the album, it's not been released and there is no video for it. So why is she performing this song everywhere? Still love it nonetheless!

It's on the re-release of her album, that's where it's come from. I assume it will get a video at some point!
It was mainly done for America (it has a very American, Katy Perry like sound) and it's currently climbing the charts (Billboard #38).

Had no idea she re-released it. Makes sense. I bought it first time round. I prefer Domino to much of the other songs on the album.

Very catchy, currently #25 on US Itunes, just wondering when she's going to release the music vid, it should help it chart higher

i liked do it like a dude, price tag and who you are on the album only...so this is a welcome addition. Not heard the david guetta addition to the album yet tho..so hopefully that is good too.

The video clip is horrible.Not only is it boring but it's pretty tacky too And she keeps contradicting herself...didn't she say that she was tired of video hoes?Yet, she keeps the revealing outfits, heavy make-up, colorful wigs and dry humping coming Sadly, she's turned into a wannabe popstar and it all looks rather contrived now :yawn:

i'm in love with the songs, currently climbing the dutch chart too, especailly after she performed it on The Voice of Holland,

i LOOOVE the song, it's on her re-release of Who You Are, which is also rocketing back up the charts again

i like this direction more than the darker parts of Who You Are--> i hope this is where her 2nd album will lead to

I actually don't mind this video. I usually hate studio green screen videos because they can just look boring, but I think the reason that Jessie is very animated and fun, she brings more life to the video. She's got a great character and personality which she brings out in the video. Hope the song does well for her, It's surely climbing up US itunes slowly but surely

The video is like an advert for a clothing range and she sounds like katy Perry, the song is ok but nothing special.

I liked it at first but I've got bored of it already. The production is just generic Dr Luke.

I would like this if she wasn't singing on it! Similarly to Price Tag and to a lesser extent Who You Are, her poor vocal ruins it for me. Someone like Katy Perry would have done a much better job with this song imo.

The most annoying thing is that Jessie J can actually sing, as she proves on her part on 'Up' by James Morrison. What baffles me is why she screeches her way through all her songs?

I don't even understand what 'Domino' is supposed to be...Is it a lead single for the re-release of her album, which I've heard nothing about, is it a buzz single or a non-album track?

IKR!She could be a great vocalist.Her voice is very clear and she has a decent tone, which was what captured me initially in her YouTube videos.I think she's trying to show off in her own material and she thinks she has to prove herself in each and every song, while in 'Up' she probably didn't feel like she needed to prove herself, she didn't regard it as a challenge, so she just let her voice flow.And I'm afraid, she's going to take it to a whole new level in her 2nd album...I predict endless screaming, straining, 30-second runs and 4 high notes per song

Her whole thing is kind of hypocritical.

Like you say, she was tired of "video hoes", then prances and grinds about in skin tight catsuits and leotards. She proclaimed she wasn't about and didn't want the "money, money, money", then has this whole bling fascination and obviously wasn't turning away the cheques*. She said that it's all about being "true to who you are", but is clearly selling out to become a Dr. Luke clone and changing her appearance to meet the current standard in pop. If you compare her now to how she was even a year ago, it's quite a noticeable difference.

She's alright, but I think she's going to have to do better with her next album if she wants to stick around.

The video is crap. It looks like a reject wallpaper sample explosion. Uneventful, uninteresting, unattractive.

* Not saying that's unreasonable, she deserves the royalties, but if you're going to write a song that explicitly says you aren't doing it for the money...then sell it, is it not kind of undermining the message and making it all seem very contrived?

its serves as her second single in the us where she is currently #28 with the track. the song has been released in other territories, notably successful in australia and new zealand. originally the track was released at the end of august in the states. so i am surprised that her people have only now decided to release a video.

she has re-released her album with this included. although apparently, there are no plans for a uk release, we had a fifth single from the original album.

Domino is the next UK single as well, they're probably just waiting until The Voice UK starts up before they start promoting it.

The reason they waited in the US is because they wanted the song to get some traction first - that usually takes months, especially with a barely-established artist like Jessie J. Now it has charted quite well, they'll push it properly now.

Yeah, I know about the #28 peak They probably released the video now because of the airplay the song is getting.If they had released it in September, nobody would have heard of the song The re-release is already out in the US??Wow, it fell really flat then, because the album didn't re-enter the chart at all in the last few weeks...

Never liked her before but this is a really good, instantly catchy pop tune that I will probably get down to in a club! It's a song to dance to, but not the kind of song I could listen to regularly!
