Were you disappointed when Britney dropped Perfume?

[warioaddams]

I wish they kept the original video. Can you imagine a Britney man down music vídeo like Rihanna. It would have been better but I loved the song.

[Rachel Green Geller]

It was her first ballad single since 2004. Loved it. The music video was a disappointment, though. 

[SJK]

I actually liked it better than WB when it came out. It’s prolly the only song on the album I can stand but I haven’t listened to it in forever. 

[RadicalOptimism]

I was when I found out the real video didn’t get released  I don’t think I’ve seen this video since 2013 

[Daniela.tomasseli]

Only with the video since we were expecting so much more by the pictures from the video shoot 

[Emil87]

Why, why bring this up? The song was bland and forgettable, and the original video concept was scrapped and turned into a boring, nonsensical mess. 

[dritney]

Yes. Don’t get me started on the video.

[Yasux34]

Nope loved it.

[I Can Bang]

I was 17 at the time and I kinda felt like the song was for me, since my very first BF and I broke up around the same time that the album was released  But looking back, some of the lyrics are cringe AF, production-wise it's very flat, the song has no bridge (which happened to other songs on this album and I hate it ) and it doesn't really go anywhere... A bridge could have said something more about the story but no, lyrics-wise sounds unfinished, it's a hot mess  And don't let me start with the MV, the only good thing about it is that Britney looked fabulous  (Although I wasn't a huge fan of her upper lip which in some shot it looks like she had some "fun stuff" done ) Oh and between this and Make Me, Make Me is a better MV especially if you watch the 'American Dream' version, there, I said it 

[Stefani]

I loved it.  Until I saw it free fall on iTunes.

I loved the song, hated the video 

[super.nova]

I sometimes feel like WB is a stand-alone single; I forget BJ existed; together with this video.

the song I kinda like, but I haven’t listened to it in so long.

Horrible terrible song.

 

i honestly think this is the song that almost killed her mainstream career. Work ***** was also a terrible 1st single but maybe till is gone or another song as a follow up could have saved the era. Perfume just didn’t kill the era , almost killed her music career. 

No it didn’t. You’re being over dramatic. Nothing, honestly, could kill a career that’s as monumental as her’s. She’s got career longevity like MJ and Madonna.

[DiamondCircus]

I enjoy the song and can't help but wonder what could've been if we got the orginal video.

[thisforumwhacknow]

Yes. Especially as Larry hyped it up as one of her best vocal performances. Gag. 

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

It’s one of her worst songs. Cheesy and redundant. 

[No Seas Cortes]

I love Perfume but I can see why people were disappointed 

[---]

i mean at least she sang the song

[Richie]

I don't think we talk enough about how good she sounds in it? And her voice sounds more natural than the rest of her post conservatorship songs, glory included.

I remember very clearly that I didn't like the lyrics because I still don't. Mark my territory, current girlfriend trying to be cool... really? It makes no sense they released a single with these terrible lyrics. 

We were disappointed because that era Sia was on top of the world and everything she'd write would become a hit. And then we had Perfume. 

And the video was not just any video it had JOSEPH KAHN as the director, let me remind you just a couple years after this Joseph Kahn would turn Taylor Swift into the biggest popstar in the world. So yeah, a song that had great vocals, a great writer and a great director for it's music video, ending up being cheesy, with bad lyrics and having a forgettable video, was a HUGE disappointment.
