GOES POP? She's been pop the whole time.

I agree. But this is her first "official" attempt at a pop record. According to her.

I hate the word hater, both for its ability to shut down any cogent discussion on a subjective topic and because of it's inherently unpleasing look when written and sound when spoken.

Hater hater.

Yeah, no, it's only backup dancers doing any twerking in this video. I don't really blame her - narrow-ass girls like Taylor and myself can't really make our booties clap.

Y'all better listen up closely all you niggaz that said that she turned pop, or the firm flopped Y'all are the reason that T Swizzle ain't been gettin no sleep

Her cat's name is Olivia Benson, so she can't be all that bad.

So she's cribbing Pharrell's "Happy" different-people-dancing video approach while doing her own personal version of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone", and trying to charm with some self-deprecation. It's still better, or just as good, as her other songs, clearly catchy and musically interesting, but with a short shelf life.

Her songs are the Doritos of popular music - sharp, bright flavor, but very superficial, not filling, something for the moment that's quickly forgotten.

What a stupid song. It sounds like a computer wrote it.

Gotta agree with @8; bland, generic and somehow hollow.

What the Fuck, The Stranger. What's next, covering Rhianna and Eminem? Are you the NYT?

I need Seling to cover Taylor Swift like I need Constant to tell me what Larry Klansman thinks.

It's actually not as terrible as I expected. I'd never buy the song or anything, but I can't hate it either.

Could have been worse (and I'm not sure I actually saw Taylor's ass doing any shake).

Best T Swizzle song I've heard ever.

Best thing Bieber's ever put out.
