Billie Jean

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKiZBlelIzc&feature=related

Billie Jean is one of my all time favorite dance songs. The above single is off of Thriller 25. Reponses to this remix have been extreme; hate or love. The sound quality isn't the best on the above clip, but turn it up and let me know what you think.

I really didn't like that remix that much. How much did they retard the beat? It sounds much slower. If they are going to slow it down that much I wish that they would turn up the bass.

Great choice on not managing the comments. Let the people have a voice. I have seen a lot of blogs that are greatly weakened by editing comments that disagree with the stated position.

As a word of advice, you can import the youtube video to your blog. It looks better and is easier for people to assess your opinions of the music if they can read it while listening.

Good job man, keep up the good work. Link me here if you can.

It's hard even calling it a remix. Kayne really cut it apart and made a new song. As with literature, music is all about context (the particular context of this song being the original). It seems disrespectful to the work in its modernization. I think in it’s own right, the song would have been great. Kayne is a great producer.
