She's pushing it for the people who want their pop with tears."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"So... a slower version of the same song. Revolutionary."},{"host":"Laura","text":"No, come on. The ballad strips it down and you hear the melody differently. It's raw."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I hear a song that lost its pulse. The original had energy."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The original was a banger, but this version shows she can sing without the production. That's a flex."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I'll give her that.
