I really think i got a feeling might be my all-time most hated.
I like the guetta and jessie j tune tho, the new-ish one. Got this amazing 8-bitty synth sound that just kills me

i also hate i got a feeling. its one of the worst songs will i am has ever been part of, which is saying something at this point tbh.
i like whos that chick with rihanna.
im not against the songs with kelis or kelly rowland either.
1 thing i like about guettas songs - and i havent heard them all so i could be wrong - but he does bring a certain innocence/pre-ironic cheesiness to pop without any self consciousness. i mean, just the fact usher says boobies (which made me think usher was about 10), im not sure thats been in a pop hit for years (if ever). its almost in a way a step back from the overt sex in modern R&B, even though guetta obv loves R&B voices.

Darned cockwombles.
I didn't realise that Kelis song was by him. Good tune, though I was gutted to see her live and she didn't play 'Caught Out There' or 'Flashback', just lots of songs that sounded similar to Acapella with diminshing returns.
I'd quite like to see Guetta do a tune with Robyn.

usher OMG was produced/written by will.i.am wasn't it... don't think it has anything to do with guetta.
i'm afraid to say i fucking hate everything i've heard that guetta's involved in... the worst one was that one with fergie though, the one with the video where all those kerrrrazy party dudes gatecrash the studio where he's recording the tune with fergie and that guy who looks like he has no eyes and they all have a party.

Oh THAT song! I remember hearing that when I was having my hair cut once - it's that kind of song, isn't it? The sheer adolescent gaucheness of it had me laughing, I have to say.

God... - yes! I do need to find a quieter gym, don't I? I was on the verge of saying that I like at least three Guetta songs. What I think I mean is I like them more than I like almost everything else they play at the gym. There's a video for a Rizzle Kicks tune which has me fantasising about home invading BEFORE James Corden turns up at the door.
The best song that gets played at my gym (aside from Dennis Ferrer's ''Hey! Hey!'' which I miraculously heard the other night while wiping blood from my forcep) is this Ben Westbeech thing called 'Something For The Weekend'. Or that 'Nervous for your love' thing by thingymajigs.
That's a lie really, the correct answer is ''Like A G6'' by the Far East Movement which has an obnoxious video but is undoubtedly acts as a cattle prod to my tripods.

Like a G6 is great, I could play that in a wedding set and not feel like I had lost integrity - I couldn't say the same for any of the Guetta tunes I've heard though.
All this stuff is like musical jagermeister - if you're at home, sober, looking for depth in the music then you're not really judging it by its own standards. I saw Guetta at a beach party a few years ago and I have to admit I had a great time - I just had to throw off the shackles of good taste and enjoy it at the level it is supposed to be enjoyed (drunk and mindlessly).
This is awful. And makes me chuckle. And crinkle in fear.

Firstly, hello again. I've spent the last two months playing Skyrim and getting fat (these two facts are not unrelated).
Guetta didn't just pop into superstar producer status from nowhere - his 'Fuck me I'm famous' nights were a big deal in Paris and Ibiza for ages (playing, oddly enough, American house from the likes of Blaze, Morillo, etc). The likes of Diddy have always had a fascination with European chic and the more glamourous club scene (witness Dirty Money's "Last Train To Paris") and started hanging out at these places on European tours and I believe the collaborations stem from there?
I'd agree with Mistersloane to a large extent - the track he did with Snoop ("Sweat") steals a massive chunk of "Don't You Want Me" by Felix, but if you've never heard the Felix track (either you're too young or too American) that riff is still undeniably exciting.
It's the recognition factor, he always works with a vocalist, and usually a prominent US vocalist who made their name doing r&b/rap. Sia is the only collaborator who could be said to be an unknown, but even then she'd been featured on a track by Flo-Rida (also a Guetta collaborator) prior to 'Titanium' (which is horribly shrill but that's not important right now). Would a Guetta solo instrumental shift units in the same way that Daft Punk or Deadmau5 do? Nah. That's why I'd refute the Moroder comparison - Guetta lives or dies by his guest vocalist, Moroder solo was a viable proposition. I'd compare him more to someone like Ross Robinson, who was the go-to nu-metal producer - he defines a vogueish sound but will be forgotten ere long.
The appeal, then? Familiar singers, insistent club beat, that's all many punters are looking for. Witness 'Scream' by Usher massively outselling the far more interesting 'Climax'.
As has been said, 'Like A G6' trumps Guetta. (And most other things. I recommend the Cataracs highly, they've a new EP out 'Gordo Taqueria' which is excellent.)
