I can remember back in the day when TM mixes were happy, filled with life, and actual MUSIC - keyboards, pianos, chords, added background singers, key-changes, etc - whereas nowadays he just shuffles around a few beats and calls it a mix. Ah, yes. What a great time for house music. He did so many great classic house mixes (MJ's Blood On the Dancefloor, Tina Arena's Chains, the list goes on) in the 90's. But I guess people have moved on from that :( And if I may be so bold, Tony DID use background singers on his remix of "Unfaithful"...

do i think they should be played in a club today? NO! Funny, I threw down Patti LaBelle "Shoe Was On The Other Foot" (Tony Moran's Miss Patti's Anthem) a couple months ago at a club gig around 1:30am (complete with piano-only INTRO no less!). This was from what, 1997 or so? and would you believe not one person left the dancefloor.

Some of my favorites: Tina Arena - Chains Jon Secada - Too Late, Too Soon Celine Dion - To Love You More Kenny G - Havana Barry Manilow - I'd Really Love To See You Tonight Lisa Frazier - Somewhere Tonight Cyndi Lauper - You Don't Know Patti LaBelle - Shoe Was On The Other Foot

I would be amused to see people just standing there for that long! I know I would have used the opportunit for a pee or red bull break! :o I one saw a DJ play heather headley "i wish i wasn't," dropping into from the very start and people headed for the hills. More power to ya though! p.s. don't forgot tony's original mix of cyndi mizelle "shine on!" I'v been doing the music thing for along time even though i'm only 18 i remember my fav tony mixes of the 90's MJ's History & Janets - Together again and celine dions to love you more.

More power to ya though! Well, I cheated a bit and did my DJ shout-outs and club announcements over the no-beats part (make sure to join us for the Grand RApids Pride festival next weekend, rattle off drink specials, do a shoutout to so-and-so, etc)

But if I have to pick a favorite, that would have to be Tony's remix of Jordan Hill's For The Love Of You. Good lord, what a radical departure from the original album version. Jordan re-recorded the vocals and worked it like the rent was due tomorrow.

All of this, and Rihanna still can't sing for sh!t !
RIHANNA: GOOD GIRL GONE BROKE!
So the rumor that is making its way to all the bloggers today is that Rihanna is BROKE AS ALL HE*LL!
Rihanna’s now ex-business manager Patricia Willliams has been recently fired as she says “for no good reason, all in ignorance” and is “livid” with Rihanna & her management company Rebel One’s decision to fire her. Rihanna recently met with her ex-biz manager to check on her funds and was shocked to see that almost all her money was missing. Rih-Rih instantly accused Willliams of “stealing her money.”
It’s not my fault that she only has $20,000 to her name.”
She adds -
“I’m a professional Business Manager, I have a staff of more than a dozen, I have worked for many high profile actors, musicians and multi-million dollar corporations. Why would I steal from Rihanna?” She continues, “I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn’t listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off. I now feel compelled to share with the world the background story as I will not allow my name to be slandered”The Barbados born singer has had four back-to-back albums, including a re-release since her debut of “Pon De Replay” in 2005. According to Willliams, Marc Jordan, manager and owner of Rebel One Management has been taking care of Rihanna’s financial situation with her.
“Def Jam doesn’t fund Rihanna properly, so Marc uses the money Rihanna makes from third-party endorsements and from tours to fund her album and music videos.” Since 2005, Rihanna has been sponsored by the likes of JC Penny, Samsung, Covergirl, Secret, Venus Breeze etc,. and has gone on two major tours, most recently label-mate Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark” Tour and with Pussy Cat Dolls across Europe.”I don’t want to disrespect Marc’s name. He is a fantastic manager and genuinely believes in Rihanna. But he uses her money to fund her future projects because he believes he can break her in the world-market. Her album sales are not nearly as close to her single sales and he knows that if she is only known as a ’singles artist’ she will only be as good as her last hit. Unfortunately, he didn’t inform his client and I’m receiving the brunt of it.”Why is Def Jam lacking in funding support for there act? Why was so much money spent? How much exactly? Williams continues,”Her record label Def Jam has put out 3 albums in a time span of 2 years.
A lot of that was orchestrated through her management Rebel One. It was never Def Jam’s intention to release so many albums back-to-back but Marc Jordan found loop holes and ways to make it happen.A lot of the money Rihanna made through her endorsements between CoverGirl Cosmetics, Samsung.. Notice that majority of Rihanna’s videos have a cell phone in it?”"After the release of Rihanna and Teairra Mari, Def Jam had intention to drop both acts because their album sales were not successful. Her manager fought to get [S.O.S (Rescue Me)] and quickly tried to negotiate with as many companies as possible. Nike picked up the song and funded a video. This brought the hype back for Rihanna in the company’s New York office. Majority of the official ‘S.O.S’ video was funded by Samsung because the record label was only willing to put up a small amount. Once ‘S.O.S’ picked up digitally and at radio, Def Jam agreed to fund the rest of her album. Jordan instantly got a video shot to ‘Unfaithful’ (he negotiated with video director Anthony Mandler to drop his price and would be given more videos from Rihanna in return). Then they shot ‘We Ride’ which was an extremely cheap video to create. ‘Break It Off’ was released as a third album, but again, Def Jam was unhappy with the sales of her album “A Girl Like Me” and refused to shoot a video.
At this point Rihanna was opening up for the Pussy Cat Doll’s in Europe. She was making 30,000 a show but she didn’t see any of that money because it was needed to fund her next album.” Which is now known to the greater public as a ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’.”The song “Umbrella” was found & Jordan fought again for Rihanna to have it. They shot the video, which CoverGirl funded half of, and the song became a success. When the record label had there meeting with Music Stores across the U.S to order her album for shipment, the number’s weren’t coming in the way that they expected. When the album’s first week numbers came in at less than 150,000, the label was shocked. Def Jam’s President LA Reid was livid! Umbrella was #1 for 11 weeks! Any other artist would have sold way more first week. T-Pain even did better in sales than her that week. Def Jam told Jordan they were no longer funding the album, so Jordan needed money again to pay for music videos ‘Shut Up & Drive’ and ‘Dont Stop The Music’. Almost 250,000 was spent to have those videos created. Plus, an additional 120,000 to shoot ‘Hate That I Love You’. Jordan was noticing that ‘Dont Stop The Music’ was picking up, so her persuaded the label to support it at radio in the U.S and the remaining singles, and they did.”"Then came for the repackaging of her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, which is called ‘Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded’, that entire project was funded through Rihanna’s money.
‘Take A Bow’ was bought through her money, the video was created with her money and so is her most recent video and single ‘Disturbia’. The label didn’t even want to pay a dime for anything! Close to 750,000 was spent on those two songs alone. And now she expects to see money in her account?” Williams states that Jordan, her publicist from well-respected public relations firm 42-West, Alicia Silverman has built alot of hype around Rihanna’s name but the singer has only made “a little bit above a million” and “all of it was spent on making her as big as she is now.

Although it's a bit after this one has come and gone, Offer Nissim did a remix of this. There was a video clip of this on YouTube but it got taken down. It sounded promising.

I'm kind of surprised, but I'm not loving Dom's mix. It's not bad, but it's really not what I was expecting.
