*high five* This is why we're friends!
This would make for a very good summer playlist.

It would be an amazing actual CD, if one were to make custom CD inserts and everything.

This is NOT the first song I wanted to eliminate from the 'Sweet 16', not by a long shot..

Release: Second single from Selena's fourth album Stars Dance, in August 2013.
Songwriters: Lindy Robbins, Julia Michaels, Niles Hollowell-Dhar, David Kuncio, Freddy Wexler, produced the The Cataracs.
Hazey's Focus: Oh y'all wanted to know what the highlight is for me? I've mentioned it a dozen times over the years on this forum and it's what hooked me before the first play was over in 2013.
Cause I just wanna partyallnightintheneonlights'tilyoucan'tletmegooooo
That and the 'baby dubstep' beats from The Cataracs and the stuttered slo-oh-oh-oh-oh bits in the chorus, just yaaaaaas every damn time. It always has me like.
Oh look it's one of my all least favorite arguments for hating a song from @Mina (3): "Generic dance song that anyone could be singing." But they didn't, because they can't, because Selegend is the only one slaying this and that's that on that.
Instead listen to @aniraz (10) who calls by its real name: "a complete banger".
*Sniff* so true @Martyn (8) so true. We all do: "I miss this Selena, why can't she do more like this."
@iheartpoptarts (10) steps to the front to provide the eulogies: "The end of an era. I miss this."
Again, not to sound like a broke record, but it's just sooo true @livefrommelbs (9.5): "TBCH this doesn't get the love it should. It's so effing catchy." In the Selena rate, nobody even spoke one word about it and cruised quietly to #4.
You're right @31entrance (10) I didn't rank it in my all-time Top 10 for no reason: "Stars Dance truly was her best album and she probably will never top it."
There's no other way to put it. @Sally_Harper (10) was snatched and pulled by the roots: "I’ve never heard this before and I actually feel quite cheated. There’s so much going on, and I love all of it. (This is actually my last song of the rate- what a high note to end on!)"
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (10) applauds Slaylena for giving cloning on of the best dance-pop albums this decade so we'd could have two and honors 'Baby Britney': "Hearing a snippet of this was such a relief after my fear of Stars Dance being a bunch of Come & Get It’s. I’m so happy she decided to basically copy Femme Fatale."

Release: Fourth single from Demi's fourth album Demi, in May 2014.
Songwriters: Demi Lovato - Carl Falk (also producer), Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub (also producer), Cher Lloyd
Fun Facts: This collaboration with Cher Lloyd happened after Cher sang on the American version of X-Factor with demi as a judge. Soon after, Demi called Cher and asked if she'd like to be a feature on the track, which was no brainer since Cher said she was huge fan of the song "Skyscraper" and Demi's music. Demi's family were all big fans of Cher and begged Demi to do a duet with her. The music video takes place during the Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade in 2014. There were many cameo appearances in the video. Demi said the 'breakup song' had a different meaning that day when you had people protesting the Pride Festival saying things like being gay is a sin, and how it was enjoyable to literally sing "we really don't care what you think".
Hazey's Focus: One of my favorites instantly when I first heard this album after being so excited that Cher was on this track because "Want U Back" had been one of my favorite songs ever in recent times. Boy did it deliver on all levels as the mega bop I hoped it would be. It was also one of the highlights for me during Demi's concert because everyone in the building really got into it.
Oh wow @Mina (3), wait till @Posh Spears reads this comment (if he's even still paying attention to the rate ddd): "Minus 3 points for Cher Lloyd."
Where as @unnameable (9) didn't let Cher wreck the party for them: "surprisingly improved and not wrecked by the feature."
In a complete opposite take, @Martyn (8) needs Cher's involvement to get the full experience: "I'd take off 3 points for the Demi only version. Cher Lloyd is very good on it."
@Sally_Harper (8) got swept in the moment and might look back on this as an over-score: "Firstly, what a great video! And bonus Cher Lloyd too! Oh, fuck it, I wouldn’t choose to listen to it but the video’s made me so happy I’ll give it a high score anyway."
It's all about what this pair could together for @Sprockrooster (10): "This is a duet match made in heaven. AND I STAN THE MUSIC VIDEO."
Though I do love "Kingdom Come" (unpopular opinion) I like @iheartpoptarts's (10) idea better than getting Iggy: "Honestly, whenever a teen pop act needs a rap feature they should just get Cher Lloyd."
Surprisingly "Want U Back" wasn't enough for @WhenTheSunGoesDown (10) as a loud and proud Demi-shader, he saw the light here of all places: "This song finally got me to look into Cher Lloyd’s discography and I’m forever grateful. Great for workout playlists."

Noooooooo dddddddddddd
Then please educate Ms. Meana because Cher only adds points to a song and never takes points away.

It always reminds me of one of the worst lip-syncs in RuPaul's Drag Race Herstory and Demi had to witness it herself.
My favourite bops always seem to get wasted on horrible lip syncs. Greedy and I Wanna Go were also disasters.
(Also, I've seen this season twice but I'm still unsure which one of these is Pearl and which one is Miss Fame. Or is one of them Milk? Or Max?)

Miss Fame is the one that goes home and Pearl is the one dancing weirdly but stays.
she/her
A massive bop that deserves to be up there with the best of them. At least I can take comfort in the fact that (almost) everyone likes it!
