    I've never seen someone who could dance as well as James Brown or Michael and still make music with the same quality as Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. She really is a once-in-a-generation talent.

      xz claire She said that she's experimenting with new sounds. As an artist she's not locked to only sell a certain type of records. You can't blame someone for trying to reach a different audience cause those people that she's able to reach with her new song will listen to her other stuff and many will like what she's about. Her songs don't need to have a deeper meaning to it and you can't say someone is a sellout just by going off of one single.

    • @xzclaire
      @xzclaire 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Angel Herrera ? lol it doesn't have to have a deeper meaning, shes playing the game she just wants money and fame otherwise you would stick to your roots and make music that actually shows some form of talent, anyone could make a song like her new single.. i guarantee everyone will forget her new song within like a month whereas a song like this will be stuck in peoples heads for ages! i cba debating about this

      It is a very 70s funk influenced song, so even though I won't pretend to preach with a "old school is better than your kid music", we can say this song is done in a style that has stood the test of time. Funk is a great influence on many kinds of popular music.

      James Brown might’ve had some “competition” if that was the case. Ain’t no funky beat like this today besides her 🙌🏽🙌🏽 nobody heard that “HA” at 3:22. James Brown all day 👍🏽👍🏽 love it

      Since a particular music award show felt they needed a woman to stand in for Mr. James Brown (I believe he was very ill or had passed away). This Artist should have been The Lady--NOT Christina Aguilera; although I do enjoy her voice, too.

    Lyrics : Whoaaa!
    Another day (adabadee, nigga)
    I take your pain away
    Some people talk about ya like they know all about ya
    When you get down they doubt ya
    And when you tip it on the scene, yeah they talkin' bout it
    Cause they can't tip on the scene
    They just talk about it, t-t-t-talk bout it
    When you get elevated
    They love it or they hate it
    You dance up on them haters
    Keep getting funky on the scene
    While they jumpin' round ya
    They trying to take all of your dreams
    But you can't allow it
    Cause baby whether you're high or low
    Whether you're high or low
    You gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    T-t-t-tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    Baby, baby, baby, whether you're high or low (high or low)
    Baby whether you're high or low (high or low)
    You got to tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    Now let me see you do the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    And I'm still tippin' on it
    See I'm not walkin' on it
    Or tryin to run around it
    This ain't no acrobatics
    You either follow or you lead, yeah
    I'm talkin' bout ya
    Keep on blaming the machine, yeah
    I'm talkin' bout it
    T-t-t-talkin' bout it
    I can't complain about it
    I gotta keep my balance
    And just keep dancin on it
    We gettin funky on the scene
    Yeah you know about it
    Like a star on the screen
    Watch me tip all on it
    Then baby whether I'm high or low (high or low)
    Baby whether you're high or low (high or low)
    You gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    Yeah, tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    Baby, baby, baby
    Whether you're high or low (high or low)
    Baby whether you're high or low (high or low)
    Tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
    Baby let me see you tight rope (tip, tip on it)
    And I'm still tippin' on it
    You gotta keep your balance
    Or you fall into the gap
    It's a challenge but I manage
    Cause I'm cautious with the strap
    Do damage to your cabbage that
    A doctor cannot patch
    Why you don't want no friction
    Like the back of a matchbook
    Daddy Fat Sax will fold you
    And your MacBook
    Close shows, shut you down
    Before we go-go backwards
    Act up, and whether we high or low
    We gonna get back-up
    Like the Dow Jones and NASDAQ
    Sorta like a thong in an ass crack
    Come on
    I tip on alligators and little rattlesnakers
    But I'm another flavor
    Something like a terminator
    Ain't no equivocating
    I fight for what I believe
    Why you talkin' 'bout it
    J-j-just talkin' 'bout it
    Some callin' me a sinner
    Some callin' me a winner
    I'm callin' you to dinner
    And you know exactly what I mean
    Yeah I'm talkin bout you
    You can rock or you can leave
    Watch me tip without you
    N-n-now whether I'm high or low
    (High or low)
    Whether I'm high or low
    (High or low)
    I'm gonna tip on the tightrope
    (Tip, tip on it)
    Mmm
    (Tip, tip on it)
    Baby, baby, baby
    Whether I'm high or low
    (High or low)
    High or low
    (High or low)
    I got to tip on the tightrope
    (Tip, tip on it)
    Now baby tip on the tightrope
    You can't get too high
    (You can't get too high)
    I said you can't get too low
    (We can't get too low)
    Cause you get too high
    (You can't get too high)
    No, you'll surely be low
    (No, you'll surely be low)
    1, 2, 3, ho!
    Yeah, yeah
    Now shut up, yeah
    Yeah, now put some voodoo on it
    Ladies and gentlemen, the funkiest horn section in Metropolis
    Yeah, oh
    We call that classy brass
    Ohh ohh
    Oh!
    Do you mind?
    If I play the ukulele
    Just like a little lady
    Do you mind?

    This is now my anthem!

      John Lee Not gonna say I hate or even dislike the song, but the part from big boi was pretty frigging bad and really dates the song with references to stuff like macbooks, the dow, and the nasdaq as well as the line "like a thong in an asscrack." Just general bad lyrics can really take you out of the song especially in the context of the album because his lines completely break the fourth wall. I bet the song would be practically perfect if she wrote all his lines lol.

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety. proverbs - riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousness will delivereth from death. Believers have to stay w the word of the Lord. amen the word gives a clear example of what the end x's would come to. ( Bible ) that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, -- Philippians 2:15 ,, $ cannot be worshiped as the Lord Jesus Christ. when that happens lawless-ness and corruption. "" run wild .. Christ will return . ( 1 Timothy 4: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,
      """ the word says it will come a x, when folks will dis regard whats written in scripture. and attempt to gain wisdom apart from the word of God, through other"" false religious books. wanting to be their own..... God. just like Satan when he grew proud and vain. ,, psalms -
      Do not gather my soul with sinners,
      Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

The majority want them to conform to their societies standards, but they are trying to hold on to all of their cultural norms without falling into the norms of the majority; hence the word "tight rope'(tight rope representing how hard it is to keep their culture without being influenced or falling into the majorities standards.

    HOT!!! SMOKING FUCKING HOT!!! EVERYTHING: the Music, the symbolisms of the moves, the Moves themselves, the concept of the vid, the beauty of everyone in the vid- EVERYTHING! RN/Orderly cracks me up... those glasses, and that expression. Love to watch this vid, and always floored by the fact that someone has brought these moves from Black History into a new generation. Job well done, Madam Monáe, and all who assisted, and/or participated in the making of this piece.
