When it comes to remixes, they are either hate it or love it. Some are POINTLESS (Somebody That I Used To Know), others manage to be big. So I ask, what songs are better than the original version?
I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of Mike Posners in there, but to me, there's also Sean Paul's Give It Up To Me, or One Republic's Apologize. Yes, a lot of people like the original, but I do believe Timbaland's was more memorable. Yes, even with the "Eh,Eh,Eh".

Well, there's Seeb's remix of "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" which, despite being a dance remix, actually does a better job at conveying the sadness that the lyrics are going for than the original one.

I much prefer the J-Lo remixes to "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" over the original songs even though both of them are completely different from their original counterparts. R. Kelly is an example of someone who was constantly making different versions of his songs, but the "Ignition" remix is the one I really enjoyed. "I Took A Pill Ibiza" sounds much better remixed than originally made. I prefer the remix to DJ Khaled's "I'm So Hood" over the original. And "Cheerleader" is another one I enjoy over it's original version. I'm not too big on remixes, but those are some examples of remixes I enjoy most.

Bad Blood remix. Kendrick's verses on it are very good and the beat is even more better as well! It makes the song so perfect! I Took A Pill In Ibiza and Cheerleader also.

I'll add Dj Snake's remix of You Know You Like It, although I like the original as well.

Chiming in with a Australian-only non-hit (so nobody will know it lol) - 'Be There With You' by Human Nature, released back in 2000. The original is a drab and cliché'd ballad, but the Trouser Enthusiasts remix is really good IMO. The TE remix was actually the version I heard on radio all the time here. Always the remix, never the original.
There was a Youtube upload of the remix, but that's gone now. The original is there though, but IDK if the clip on VEVO is geo-restricted.

Britney - "Overprotected" (Darkchild remix)
Mariah - "I Still Believe / Pure Imagination" (Damizza Remix) and "Thank God I Found You" (Make It Last remix)
Deborah Cox's "Nobody's Supposed to be Here" is great but the Hex Hector remix is iconic.

The Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Bittersweet Symphony remix. Better than either of the two original songs.
Also the Jigga What/Faint remix.

Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) [Hippie Sabotage Remix]. In my opinion much better than the orginal version.

R. Kelly's remix of Any Time, Any Place is the first that comes to mind. And Wale's Bad remix featuring Rihanna.

I love the Russ Chimes remix of Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed better than the original even if it has fewer vocals.

NERD's Rock Star. I don't mind the original versions of Lapdance or Truth Or Dare, but the remix kicks so much ass.

Bad Blood I Took A Pill In Ibiza Cheerleader Waves Prayer In C E.T. this. Also I'd like to add Birthday Sex by Jeremih (I didn't like the song that much anyway, but the upbeat remix was catchy) Also the Demolition Derby mix (I think that's what it was called?) of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga was more powerful musically IMO (though I liked the original a lot). Idk if you guys heard it, but I remember my HAC station playing it (I know, it's weird for an HAC station to play a remix of a song whose original most of the pop stations were playing) |

"Summertime Sadness" (Cedric Gervais Remix) Lana Del Rey forgot about this one. I agree with you there! |
