I'm not gonna lie. Eventho' I instantly loved the song. I was sure it was going to flop down. It sounded so strange at the time.

I was scared for my sis

!!!

I loved it but, at the time, it sounded too similar to Get Me Bodied. This is a perfect example of visuals completely shifting and saving the song and took it to another level..

This song and Blurred Lines were two I was completely wrong about.  :plzstop:

A radio version of single lady came out 3-4 days before the video. It wasn't hq though

The era was so big and hyped, the initial focus was on IIWAB

Then a week later single ladie SWOOPED in and left IIWAB in the dust

I was taken tf aback that this blond flop
signed by Akon would become so massive.

:everythingok:

When i first heard the mess it sounded so weird, I couldn't place her. Was she gonna be an urban gorl? I knew she'd fade into obscurity.

When I heard Brandy "What About Us?" I loved it on the first listen. But the beat was so odd and all over the place. I didn't think people would have catched onto this futuristic heat...
