I hope Hillary finds some different songs for the general election campaign.

Terrible, awful song. Rachel Platten sounds like she's singing about kittens, puppies and rainbows, its like an anthem for 12 year old girls.

I prefer "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera, but that's only because the title is the first one I could think of, I'm sure there are better options.

My all time favorite convention song was "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas which Kerry used in 2004. Years later I learned that the song had been censored and was originally "Lets get Retarded".

What's wrong with it? Not really my thing, but it sounds pretty good as far as modern pop songs go.

Generic Shlocky Empowerment Anthem #1,012,712

Plus, the lyrics really come across more as insecure and desperate than inspiring or powerful

Agreed it's not offensive-sounding, but it's pretty aggravating to me anyway.

I get that, but what makes it worse than the previous 1,012,711? At least it's genuinely catchy, a saving grace many such songs don't have.

I also think the lyrics sounding insecure and desperate (yeah, they kinda do) could work in its advantage, highlighting that it's often the flip side of apparent determination. Not saying that was the author's intent, but to me that doesn't make them more annoying than they'd be otherwise.

A great song, especially after I learned it was her "last gasp at making it," so to speak.

If shes going to use a girl power song, she should use Survivor by Destiny's Child.  I would love to see her walk out to that!

Absolutely terrible. Horrible song on its own, not to mention how damn overused it is.

I guess, to me, it just feels like the anthem of those people on Facebook who post those "I'M SO INDEPENDENT AND STRONG" memes in between deeply insecure complaints about their relationships and personal life Tongue

And I guess the reason that doesn't bother me is because I have a few acquaintances like that and they're very fine people by and large. Tongue

Within my circle of friends I keep sarcastically suggesting that a politician use "Do The Hustle" as their campaign song. Every election I get less and less sarcastic about my suggestion.
