According to his top 10 for this month, DJ Escape with Dom Capello have remixed this song. Him and Tony Coluccio also did "Single Ladies."
And according to DJ Ron's wrapup of the Amsterdam Dance Event, the Japanese Popstars and Audio Bullys have also remixed "If I Were A Boy."
I really like the original version. Can't wait for the mixes.

I imagine SLOOOOWING the vocals down too much, a la Leona's "Better in Time" and Rihanna's "Take a Bow" (particularly the Tony Moran mix). The only way I think a dance version would work is if the words "If I Were a Boy" were slowed down to quarter notes instead of eighths.

The only way I think a dance version would work is if the words "If I Were a Boy" were slowed down to quarter notes instead of eighths. Slowing them down makes it really painfully slow. I tried speeding up the album version in ACID and at 130, it sounded okay. It didn't sound over-sped up like in that Junior mix of "Check On It." Speeding it up did introduce some billygoat effect, but that could be fixed.

Listen to the radio edit of Escape & Dom Capello's mix here: www.myspace.com/djdomcapelloI like this one a lot. The original 'melody' is still there and the vocals were handled very well. :)

Laurent Wolf apparently remixed this as well...it's pretty good and uses a different melodic structure than the original.

All the mixes are good. Karmatronic seems to be my favorite here, it reminds me of what he/they did with PCDs "I Hate This Part". Escape & Capello is club-ish. Maurice with his usual piano style, but I prefer what he did for "Single Ladies". According with DJme from Rico's Boards, Mark Picchiotti signed the contract for the remixes he did for this song yesterday, so they should be turning up soon. Can't wait!

All 3 club mixes are now on Masterbeat for the very reasonable price of $1.99 each - does anybody else notice that none of the remixers bothered to fix the billy-goat effect in Beyonce's vocals? I mean, it's not a hard production technique, even I know how to do this. Speed up the original acapella, then splice in little snippets of the original-tempo vocals INTO the sped-up acapella to minimize that awful verbrato, Beyonce sounds like Stevie Nicks on coke. If I knew of a good video-screen-capture demo software, I'd make a YouTube tutorial to show what I mean. Do none of the remixers know how to do this simple editing technique or were they just being lazy?

When I do mashups now, I don't fix the timestretch artifacts that are introduced. I used to use a separate program for that but it made the vocals sound really artificial and preprocessed on some songs. A little heavy reverb and compression here and there does the trick. I try to do mashups where the vocals and instrumentals are in a similar BPM range.

Considering that a CD Maxi is priced between $5-7 (not counting the biggest rip-off, PB), they are robbing us blind. A CD Maxi comes with a cover. back cover, artwork, not to mention full credits. Total rip off. Beyonce sounds like Stevie Nicks on coke. Have you actually heard Stevie Nicks? ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif) Stevie Nicks sounds like she is on coke at all times.

Two bux is a ripoff for music at compromised quality. If they were wav, it's another story. Who needs a CD case anyway? I make my own, it's much clearer that way.

While I love the Escape & Capello mix, I'm surprised that Maurice Joshua turned out a really inspired number here.

I like the Escape/Capello mix, but I am definitely feeling the Karmatronics mix more!

Digitally delivered:
Mark Pichiotti Club 7:15 Mark Pichiotti Dub 7:15 Lost Daze Mix 5:08 Chase Girls Club Mix 8:28
Mark's mix is fun! Like his mix for The Killer's Human, like happiness everywhere LOL, it works!
Lost Daze is nice to listen, slow-ish, on the simmilar line as the Karmatronic Remix, but the last one is still better.
Chase Girls is... a mess... no full chorus, just the line "If I Were A Boy" repeating all the time, with a vocoder effect...
