"Let It Go" was also never sent for adds.
Anyway, I don't mind the remix. Hope it does well.

For real? What the actual hell? I would love for radio to actually touch this, but dear God, please if I have to hear that remix over the radio over the original, there will be consequences. I don't know what those consequences would be, but they will be dire!
Nah, but for real, that remix is so shitty. It sounds so much like an amateur thing put together in 5 minutes. So goddamn awful.

That's because it was probably made in five minutes. I doubt they expect the song will be so successful, and when they see it high on itunes they decided to capitalize the success. Given the fact that pop radio doesn't mind to play shitty remixes of good songs (hello Summertime sadness) it was a decision easy to take

I liked the Lana remix though, it sounded more professional, and it was a solid mix, but this...

It was a clever EDM recreating of the original. This one is literally just adding some cheap ass dance pop beat over her vocals, which doesn't work since her vocals don't even follow a set meter, so there's several times it just sounds completely off.

Summertime sadness was crap, a great remix is something that captured the spirit of the original, there was nothing of the original on the remix of Summertime sadness the same way there's nothing of the original in the remix of Habits. Good remixes are Missing, You're not alone or the most recent Waves. To be fair this is difficult to remix into a pop song. Cups was as easy as annoying, but this is clearly a track of a film, the vocals are clearly to have an effect on the screen and not on radio, and the song reach a climax during the intrumental end. Difficult to translate that into a pop song, and that's the reason why i think they should not even try. Pop radio totally bite Take me to church which is far from being a typical pop song, and they should try the origianl if doesn't work at least it will sell a lot. I think this will fade soon anyway

Summertime Sadness was one of - if not the - best Pop remixes in the past few years.

J.Law ha EGOT is coming.
They could have gone a little more moody/subdued with the remix, and it wouldn't have been so jarring. This isn't TERRIBLE, but it's not a great take on the haunting original.

The remix is an overproduced mess The added production dosen't even mesh well with the vocals at all.

I've finally listened to this (I know, late) and it's amazing. I'm not really a fan of the remix, but seeing as it could help to garner even more attention to the original (much like "Summertime Sadness", which is brilliant in both forms) I suppose it's okay. Also, I'm ecstatic that this is the most added this week. It definitely deserves it.

The original is haunting and beautiful. Love jlaws voice. I even use the remix and don't find it that bad. I enjoy the original more, but I don't find the remix as offensive as everyone else. I'll bop to it.

Ugh. What a fucking trash remix. Heard it on the radio today, got excited that they were playing this song and then CUE THE SHITTY PRODUCTION! I get the reason for it but if they were going for Cups 2.0, they should at least match the vibe of the song.

Is J Law getting credit for the Billboard placements now or was that only credited to Howard? I want this version to do something so J Law can have an entry on Billboard. That would be amazing.

I just saw the movie over the weekend, which was not as good as I thought it would be ftr, I'm utterly shocked seeing this take off on pop though. :o
