  nice to see she's still the Queen of Ireland.

I have a feeling that it will do great in Europe at least 

I hope for top 20 in the US

Just saw the IG videos. She is so cute lol. I’m happy to see her happy and having fun.

Had a frustrating day yesterday so I didn't feel like it tainting my first listen of HMC. I played it today and it's gorgeous.

 

Not the biggest fan of the intro, but the following verses are smooth and even sexy. The song has that emotional chill euphoria, the one that just makes you want to dance/vibe with and tear up a bit. The piano outro is great. Is it just me or it feels short? I read some rumour that an extended version may come later, which would be cool.

 

My maybe one issue is that the vocals are a bit low? Them singing at the same time is also "confusing" to the ear.

 

Anyways, loves it!

[Donquizote]

I don't like it at first, but it's growing on me.

It's weird I hate it at first listen, but as I keep replaying it multiple times, it slays me

Perhaps because I always love Elton's version which is a classic.

Love those little Mariah moments. Vocalney.

On Amazon music it sounds like a slurry mess the vocals are layered awful. And extremely processed. It's kinda strange Elton is pitched she's pitched and Barerly there. It's like what was the point of this it just sounds a mess. It's like drunk people trying to sing at kareoke.  They really tried to make Elton sound good on this one. 

 

Are there distant versions because the amazon one is terrible.

The only big market where Hold Me Closer hasn't hit #1 on iTunes is France. 
 

Nous avons besoin de notre français pour faire quelque chose à ce sujet 

They must not have heard Coupre Electrique

Everytime I play this ******* song I find myself screaming “I love you Britney!!!” 

[unclefloprry]

maybe the extended version and more will be used for that #1 Top 5 Top 10 in the UK 

[Breathe On Moi]

Also a true damn shame for the ones that kept playing the leak when they shouldn’t have been, and can’t get into this version. Poor you. 
 

Us loyal besties will enjoy her extended version while y’all perish 

[Dula Peep]

 

 

Not the VMAS using Britney to promote themselves...    

 

[Jeremiah]

Just listened to the demo and I think only the intro (Britney's ad lib) was better than the official release.

 

 

Happier now to stream it knowing it's the superior version
