I finally listened to both the solo version and the chanting part of the explicit solo version. I think I prefer the solo version over the feat. I like that the post-chorus ("Stand up everybody" etc.) doesn't kick in until after the second chorus. Makes it more of a highlight. I also prefer Avril's chanting over Nicki's rap, as rap simply isn't really my cup of tea. Though I do find Avril's voice a bit weirdly edited or something and I really dislike the fact that they put this weird sound over "fucked". Why couldn't they do it like in "Girlfriend" and only mute the voice, but not the instruments, and certainly not add some weird sound? Or why didn't they let Avril sing "messed up" or sth. instead? The chanting sounds better in the explicit version. The swearing gives it more power somehow. It's fiercer, which is very fitting to the song. Where can I buy the solo version with the swearing? It's on YouTube..so you can stream it at least

Hmm I thought the demo version was “You gotta stand up, you gotta fight” not “fight for it,” that sounds so awkward. Meh I prefer the clean version tbh

If they want this song to go somewhere they really need to start promoting it. I just don't buy the idea that this was just a promo single to generate some buzz for the album release. Clearly the song was written to become a single from the get-go and they've placed all their bets on it being a hit, hence having Bonnie Mckee and Mitch Allan on the writing and producing fronts, hence the Nicki Minaj collab, hence it being played live at Honda Stage so many months ago (while Tell Me It's Over seemingly wasn't).
I still believe despite the mixed reactions that the song has the potential to become a moderate hit, if not more. But timing is everything and they better realize that quickly. The song is now being talked about, it's been added by large playlists, it's currently getting a boost with the album release and it's still getting high views on youtube, so there's still a significant buzz around it to go off of. But it won't last forever and I'm afraid they might give it a RNR treatment where they completely let the buzz die off before releasing a MV and having a structured promo strategy for it.

We aren't allowed to post leaks here or illegal download links, so unfortunately I can't tell you where you would be able to hear it now. It was either a demo version someone got ahold of, or it was from the physical copy maybe, not sure.

Dumb blonde climbing the itunes chart and spotify stream without any promos Blackstarsssssssss The song was added to a couple large playlists on spotify and the album was given billboards in Times Square, so there is promo happening and it's helping the song climb back up I just hope they have an actual plan for the song though. I hope they're working on a MV if it hasn't happened already, which I'm assuming it hasn't, and I hope she can perform the song on TV or at an event while there is still enough interest in it. I understand why she's performing Head Above Water right now to promote the album during release week and I think that's ultimately a smart move because it's a more compelling song and it obviously ties into the album's story and the way it's been marketed on the media with the backstory of Avril's struggle with Lyme and why she went away for so long, but after this first initial week I hope promo for DB will ensue. Hopefully BMG has their stuff together and won't let the song die down because as much as I love the other songs on the album I feel DB is the only song with a real shot at becoming a hit and being played on pop radio. And as it's been discussed before, the more success DB manages to have, the higher chances Avril has of releasing more music from the record with significant visibility, and the more motivated she will be to play shows and tour -- provided her health allows her to do it, of course. This could really play a huge role in how the rest of the era unfolds, so fingers crossed BMG is on top of their game.

If you havent realised there is Honda Live of Dumb Blonde on Youtube now I like how she changed the lyrics from "you won't be so confident" to "it will be no accident". Also I like the chanting better than the Nicki verse. Overall I really like this version even more than the studio one.

evenluke told us a while ago that they'd asked some big names to be in the video. What they told us have happened. So it may be coming s**n. But I agree they gotta do it now and with Nicki considering that's the version that out there most.

Dumb Blonde needs more promo..
Avril should to do a #DumbBlondeChallenge on social media with a pic or video doing whatever a blonde does for not seeming dumb.. Or maybe we can help to start
Just Imagine Bebe Rexah, Iggy, Taylor, Paris, Britney, Ava Max, Katy Perry making #DumbBlondeChallenge, it would be viral..
She should too invite artists blonde for MV and release that on April on Billboards.. She should go there to performance
She needs too going to Ellen for an Interview and Carpool Karaoke with Corden
