I love the "but I love how you go down, head first then slide it out" bit cause ain't nothing like a good foreplay before penetration 

The pre-chorus is really good but the verses and the actual chorus leave A LOT to be desired 

Its Candy 2.0 17 years later when Mandy moore isnt even a Singer anymore

Hey, I wrote an essay yday when u asked me when I started hating bleach, so when I tried to send it, it did say "u cannot reply, ure not allowed" or some bullshit like that. Obviously jordanna deleted the topic or merged with another, who knows

wow! good for clumsy! 

tbh i like that it mixes like a 'showtune' vibe with an edm drop. it reminds me of like, gospel choir or a song that would be in the movie 'burlesque' 

it's pretty awesome, as far as edm songs go! 

HAAAYYYY CLUMSY!!! WHOOOAAAA-WHOAAAAA. 

[sapiwan]

mOOd ring deserves better  

[HRBrit]

“Make Me,” “Liar,” “Love Me Down,” “Mood Ring” yes. I like Clumsy over Slumber party, but yeah.

[BOBIBCFBG]

I mean I love Clumsy but I feel like there are much better tracks on the album

[Dizan]

Clumsy is a great song. catchy and easy going for GP. would have been a great single. i actually blame the britney fanbase for promoting a booooring song like SP instead of LMD or clumsy for 2nd single...SP is bombing hard

[Brian Ryan]

Agreed. I always thought this. This forum is deaf. Call me a fool. Call me insane.

Why does everyone include that shitty "Formation" song in their end of the year lists? It's so infuriating to see such trash at the top of these lists but yet actual quality never reaches the top 10 let alone reach the list at all

Good for you. You're in the VAST minority, though. 

The flawless minority.

the irony

 

well, they listed How I Roll in 2011, didn't they? So it's great that at least they listed a track from Glory I guess...

Right now Larry be like, I told you so

Maybe he paid for that 34 spot :P

I like HIR

I just looked at the remainder of the songs on the list...and it appears all of the choices were unjustifiably stupid.

Like, they picked Ariana's "Side to Side" rather than "Dangerous Woman" or "Into You." I don't even consider myself a fan of hers, but I have ears and therefore know the latter two are really solid pop songs, while the former is extremely generic and lacking in quality.

And Fifth Harmony as the #8th best song of the entire year?  

And don't even get me started on "Formation." It seems as though critics are conflating great visuals/strong political commentary with GOOD MUSIC. An artist can certainly have all three elements, but the reality is, Beyonce only has the first two down at this time. This song is simply bad and rather grating to listen to. In fact, everything she released with Destiny's Child is sonically superior to "Formation." Like, it'd honestly make more sense to re-release "Say My Name" sans Michelle and Kelly, and then give that the #1 ranking.

All of this begs the question: what the **** happened to the credibility of Rolling Stone?

 These lists are preposterous. I place clumsy in the bottom three from the album and so do most fans.  Apart from the vocals in the bridge, it's really an awful addition to the album.  The chorus is terrible (heyyy clumsy? Wtf) and the bassline is beyond generic. Has Rolling Stone lost all credibility?

I said that on some thread. DW is far superior than flopation. It seems way more mature than Taylors and rihanna's singles too. and I wont even get started on FH. That song is pure trash and is making to every damn list.

PS, Clumsy, WYN and HTFY aren't terrible but they should've been replaced with Mood Ring, Change Your Mind,  and If I'm Dancing 

Corrected  

[generation glory]

Hmm Interesting. Ok does anybody here think Clumsy could be a hit if it's chosen as the 3rd single? At least it's a fun upbeat track instead of another mellow midtempo jam. Rolling Stone just might be tapping into something that fans aren't this era.

HTFY is a bop though.

NOT Clumsy stans magically appear out of thin air just because Rolling Stone included it in top 50 songs of the year.
