Bargain bin songstress Tulisa has unleashed the follow-up to her chart-topper ‘Young’.
Cue ‘Live It Up (ft. Tyga)’.
Produced and written by Kelly Rowland cohort by Rico Love, the cut marks an altogether more Urban affair than her last solo outing. The question, though, is it actually any good? Take a listen after jump…
While both the production and hook are fairly solid, Tulisa’s vocals were not. Indeed, at countless points she was flat out shouting; making the track sound like construction noise.
Unfortunate, as composition-wise, it’s easily one of Rico’s better efforts in a minute. Yet, true to her “basic nature”, Ms. Contostavlos simply can’t do it justice.
Instead of her team shelling out that £££ on top flight producers such as Rico and The Dream, their coins would be better spent on a vocal coach and dance classes. Case, point…
Anyway…

A HOT MESS!
Bargain bin songstress – LOL.
To be honest this sucks…and cant chart in england…the urban population aint gonna support this crap and white people who buy music or probz gonna ask themseleves what is tulisa doin with her music. they used to her europop crap
The urban population are non motherfuckinh factor’s in the UK. You make up only 2%. And yes, the white will buy it and she will have a second number 1.
you lie to yourself.
*yawn*
Oh look another rascist person!
This site is full of RASCIST people.
She really still got Kelly on the brain huh……
Things people do when they feel inferior ….
TULISA must mean BASIC somewhere on this planet?
When Tyga becomes a song’s saving grace you know the main singer needs to get a day job 😳
Anyway, the song is not solid and I don’t think it’s one of Rico Love’s best productions either tbh. She probably wants to appeal to the audience of N Dubz, which is cool, but she could have chosen a better track.
Tgj just don’t like after she attacked KELLY ROWLAND contestant BUT she has Nice voice after her accoustic performance
At no point in this does she “shout”, she’s always had a gruff element to her voice.
If you don’t like it why post about it.
Simple.
Not the best song but not half as bad you make it out to be!
I kinda disagree, she does sound like she’s shouting and straining her voice, like she’ll be doing major vocal damage.
Vocal wise she sounds like a budget Pixie Lott/Rita Ora.
I personally didnt find the song catchy or nice. I found it generic RnPop like Cheryl Cole and Cher LLoyd.
What happened to the song she was recording the video in Harlesden gone?
generic attempt to get an urban fanbase. tyga is weak and this is so forgettable.
a future uk number 1 no doubt..the uk and lreland love this crap
this is way kelly slays and tulisa can chart just in UK with xfactor , she is just another cheryl cole!
it’s a cool track, not as good as young but it’s alright i wouldn’t turn it off and would deffo bus a step if i heard it in a club love her vocals though
This sounds ( she sounds ) better than Rita Ora
She definetly does.
Sam,
Well? Are you going report on desperate Rita Ora now releasing RIP AND ROC THE LIFE IN AMERICA? This is added to Radioactive – Three singles to launch in America?
Are you going to report about how she is BACK IN THE STUDIO – trying to make another song?
How she is back in LA making another EXPENSIVE , HEAVILY PRICED , OVERSTYLED MUISC VIDEO.
HOW MUCH MORE MONEY THAT ROC NATION AND BEYONCE HAVE TO SPEND ON THIS FLOP?
Please i’m trying to forgive this b**** for what she has done to my ears…Flop harder than kim k. thighs without spanks…B**** please rest
Its so awful…
Speaking of her single “Young”
Ive noticed that almost all europop songs sound like we found love. “CALL MY NAME” “LETS GO” “YOUNG” …
I agree, although, we found love, let’s go and call my name were ALL produced by Calvin Harris, which is why they sound alike
Tyga is the best part of this song. And that’s pretty sad.
Kelly rowland or even teairra marie would have sang this better.
She kind of looks like Natalie Portman
why do the dudes in Ndubs sing better than the female? i’d rather hear dappy or fazer anyday
Just ok really but Tyga is the best part.
I though she had a bit more soul in her vocals but i musta been high when i thought that cus this rock strain type vocal yhing she doing nowaday is not the bizness AT ALL…
Vocal bootcamp is in order because she sounded better with ndubz.
Stop that pushing too hard in the vocal.
I said sound ok but the flaws are her deliverance on this type of song.
Can improve though so thats a plus
Instantly fell in love with this song first time i heard it. its awesome, n the beat… cant get enuf of it!!!!
