So as a general rule I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a ballad and remix it. The results are usually messy and end up ruining a great song.
Take a fantastic song like Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown – No Air and the stakes are a lot higher. It’s one of my favorite tracks of the year and I wasn’t too impressed when I heard there was a remix.
But then I heard this! Jason Nevins hit all the right spots with this mix… he hasn’t changed the song too dramatically… just added a soft beat and makes it a bit more dramatic.
I think you’ll like this even if you don’t usually like remixes… check it out and lemme know what you think.

oh this is actually very good
Sometimes remixes do make ballads even better – case in point: Toni Braxton’s Unbreak My Heart and I Don’t Want To. Much more palatable remixed 
I wanna hear about BSB and Janet!

All the remixes of this are really good! Another great remix is the Benny Benassi mix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_v4ohh8IOg

Jordin Sparks has released the best string of hits from an American Idol artist since Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway.

You have a great blog, but it’s a shame I didn’t discover it in 2006/2007 because most of the hard-to-get goodies are deleted
