Remix

We all get a little out of control over remixes. We see or hear one of our favorite songs redone and we scream no (including me, sorry).
We need to take a look at the big picture. What really is a remix (other then your favorite song being butchered, you believe).

From wikipedia: A remix is an alternative version of a song, different from the original version. A song may be remixed to give a song that was not popular a second chance at radio and club play, or to alter a song to suit a specific music genre or radio format.

It gives Alizee a broader reach by taking a popular song and attempt to reach a new audience with it. It does not mean that it is a better version just a different version. One version may be for radio, another for dance and still another for the cafe. The original version is still there for you (or me). The new version may attract new fans and help her career.

I noticed the mixed reactions to the remixed songs. Some love a certain new version but it seems that most expect the song to be performed just like their favorite video version every time Alizee sings it. For Alizee to grow that could not happen. Thank goodness Alizee had the guts to slap us on the side of the head with this Moscow concert in regards to songs, clothes, hairstyle and more. I am an Alizee fan and want to see success with her career. You broke the mold Alizee now let us see what you have in store for us.

I DO like the new JEAM, so there.
