They need to remix it to have any impact on pop. I heard one remix but they'll need something stronger to impact I think.

Puff, i don't know. I'm pretty sure this works really well on the film but the only way i can see this working on radio is cutting a lot of the singing part. Anyway it's pretty clear there's an interest in this song, it's selling really well

This song is utterly fantastic. My hat is off to the Lumineers.
Jennifer's voice is also wonderful. It's crazy to think that she hates it.

This could Cups its way into Top 20 on its own, but it's also got relevance to cultural issues in the US right now, so it could actually go higher.

This will do nothing. Maybe top 20 on AC, top 50 hot AC, but nothing on pop. Glad it's doing well on iTunes, though. Radio Mix: They should have never touched this. This is literal bullshit.

The radio mix sounds so.... so cheap. Why can't they just leave a good song alone?

So they DID give this the Summertime Sadness treatment! Don't know if that's going to work, but JLaw getting a Grammy for singing would be hilarious and kind of awesome.

Heard it on the radio today and despised it. Loved it in the movie, but not on radio. And the pop version? Yuck.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I like the radio mix. I do, however, think it's kind of an ill fit to promote the song with, because the remix isn't really faithful to the original version as featured on the soundtrack. That's why the 'Cups' radio mix worked for Anna Kendrick; it was faithful to the soundtrack version while still giving the song a better commercial sound for airplay. That said, I would still like it to perform like 'Cups' did.

It will burn quickly, but they should give it a try anyway.

The remix is awful. Should've gone with the original. All people i know who have heard the song love it.

"Let It Go" sounds like a showtune. This has that alt-pop vibe, close enough to Lorde and Lana. Other than the choir at the end, this fits in fine at pop radio in my opinion. Not a big fan of the remix, but I think it's the little bit extra needed to propel the song at radio.

Ugh at this getting the "Summertime Sadness" treatment. I'm totally surprised, if Let it go couldn't go top 40 thi shouldn't either "Let It Go" would've been a Top 5 hit on radio easily had they released a radio remix for it. The song in original form was never going to be a smash hit on Top 40 radio.

This sound like a soundtrack, and the remix is simply bad

Are any stations playing the original?
Anyways, remix or not, I'm glad this is seeing success.
