lol she was so shy and cute in the beginning!

Loved her adlibs in the performance and the background singers are nice. In the verses I really need to get used again of her live vocals. She sounded good though, surprised and makes me love the song a tad more. Still she can do better than this song.

It'll be a hit, no doubts there. She was a tad awkward during chatty man though.

Better as in generic dance crap? This is the freshest lead single by a female pop star in a while. It's perfect and worth the risk ;-).

she actually basically tried the "generic dance crap" already with Night Is Young, and that was nothing to write home about, so it is easy to see why she want to take some risks and headed a whole different direction for this, I am happy she did though, I am tired of dance music.

Am I the only who didn't like the performance very music? She seemed very shaky, just keeping it in tune but she sounded quite strained. I still hope this does well though. I definitely think this will go top 5 at least in the U.K

This will be labeled a buzz single for sure... If it flops in Germany it's because people are just NOT interested... but IMO the song is amazing, I love it, the video, I love it... the performances, I love it...
overall, I love her and her new era... No matter what...
The performance in the UK was great! :)
Just loading to watch the Billboard Music Awards one now...

Has anyone got a link to the Billboard Performance??

I don't understand how people could dislike her live performances of Big Hoops... She brings so much energy into it and you can tell she is really into it. In fact I think its better live! I found it funny how she seemed very nervous and quiet when she was talking to Chatty man before her performance and then she killed iT!

The perfo was good but it'd be more suitable for a concert than a TV show.

Her show with the hoops was really cool but the instrumental was a bit off IMO.

Yeah and they're trying to cover it up :P. I remember this performance of her Spanish song 'Mas' and was surprised by her weight. Luckily she isn't that fat anymore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msK_2BdO ... re=related

This performance will do nothing for the song though. I'm shocked at her weight, she should've worn something less unflattering. Other than that, she sounded good. Hope they'll call this a buzz single and release another single before album comes out, otherwise it will flop very hard.

Since the album has been pushed back I think it's pretty obvious than another single will be promoted before the album release!

I wish this could be a minor hit around the world at least... I don't want this song to be completely ignored!
