Okay.. even though this remix album has many great remixes, the only one I simply disliked.. was the " american life " one.. I mean come on, at least the original version is better. It simply does not do well with the rockish feel.. sorry. I am a huge Madonna fan, and that dude that put " Madonna should start focusing on her music, then her kabbalah bull.. ". Whoa dude, I study kabbalah, so you better start getting a life.. and plus you spelled it wrong. Madonna is amazing, but this remixe EP shouldve included " hollywood " in my personal opinion. I think my favourite definitely has to be.. the " love profusion " remix by headcleanr.. I think its genius. I like the " into the hollywood groove " remix with missy, I don't know why people don't like it.. I like it just as much. So, this remix EP is great, but not quite than her other earlier work.. but big ups to Madonna on her 20th year in the music industry.. I cannot wait to see her in the " rock n roll hall of fame "... she deserves it baby.

Okay, so this is not exactly a "new" album from Jennifer Lopez, because it features most songs we've already heard from her. But the sharp remixes make the songs sound brand-new! My friend bought J TO THA L-O and let me borrow it. I have to say that I absolutely love this CD and it is very cool. I also have to mention that I tend to like "explicit lyrics" versions more than the "clean lyrics" versions on CDs because the "explicit lyrics" versions are usually the original ones, without all the censoring and editing. But anyway, here are the list of the awesome club remixes you get on this CD:
1.) "Love Don't Cost A Thing" ('RJ Schoolyard Mix Featuring Fat Joe')--this remix is very cool. It's upbeat and actually better than the original! From her J.LO album. Grade: A-.
2.) "Ain't It Funny" ('Murder Remix Featuring Ja Rule & Caddillac Tah')--this is Jennifer's new single and the one you've probably been hearing a lot on the radio recently. It's totally awesome and the rap is excellent. From her J.LO album. Grade: A+.
3.) "I'm Gonna Be Alright" ('Track Masters Remix Featuring 50 Cents')--pretty cool remix by a song most people have not heard yet if you haven't got the J.LO album. Grade: B+
4.) "I'm Real" ('Murder Remix Featuring Ja Rule')--this is the remix that probably most people are familiar with. You heard it all over the radio during the summer and it is very cool. A lot of swearing, but still cool. Grade: A.
5.) "Walking On The Sunshine" ('Metro Remix')--the original version is one of my favorites off of the J.LO album. Another pretty brand-new song that most people haven't heard yet. The remix is very awesome and upbeat. Grade: A.
6.) "If You Had My Love" ('Dark Child Master Remix')--the original version to this song is Jennifer's very first single, and this remix is great. Perfect for clubs! Grade A+.
7.) "Feelin' So Good" ('Bad Boy Remix Featuring P. Diddy & G. Depp')--I never really liked the original version of this song, which is on her ON THE 6 album. But the remix is actually a lot better than the original. Grade: B.
8.) "Let's Get Loud" ('Pablos Flores Remix')--now I have to say that the original version to this song is one of her best! The remix just makes it more snappy and upbeat. It's very Latin-style cool. Grade: A+.
9.) "Pay" ('Sack International Remix')--very cool remix to the good, but tiring song, "Play" from her J.LO album. This sharp remix makes the song sound brand-new, and you will wish this remix was the radio single instead of the original. Grade: A.
10.) "Waiting For Tonight" ('Hex's Momentous Radio Remix')--I loved the original version of this song off of her ON THE 6 album and this remix is very cool. Not as good as the original, but still cool. Grade: A-.
11.) "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" (Duet with Anastica)--here is where we get into the totally brand new songs. This song is very cool, and though I do not like Anastica all that much, she sounds great on this song with Jennifer Lopez! Grade: A+.
12.) "Alive"--another totally cool new song by Jennifer Lopez. I like this song a lot and I think it is one of her best. Grade: A+.
A little too much on the swearing and stuff, but still an awesome CD! Jennifer Lopez sounds better than ever before on this album, and most of the songs are pretty much Latin-flavor, R&B, and Pop sounding.
This album is awesome and highly recommended for all Jennifer Lopez fans and for people who love remixes!
~Hope this review helps!~

If you like Whitney, these remixes are worth the purchase. Nice collaboration with some well known DJs/producers. I have a couple of different remixes so glad to include these version in my catalogue.

A fun collection of irrestible "remade/remixed/mashed up" pop songs you recognize (Easy Lover, Everyone Wants to Rule the World, Come On-A My House, etc ...) some are pretty straightforward remixes with just a trance track dropped underneath - some involve new vocals and some are mashups - all pop and all fun for everyone.

This cd single has some of Smash Mouth's greatest songs, such as: 1. All-Star 2. The Fonz  3."Walkin' On The Sun" (The Sunny-E-Delight Remix) ((I Love all Walkin' On The Sun Remix's, it's just  who I am!))
  I must say, the real reason I bought this cd from  Amazon.com, is because I want every "Walkin' On The Sun" Remix  there is. I have Almost all of their Albums. These are the one's I have  that I suggest you get, that is of course if you don't have them already.  1. Fush Yu Mang  ((Explicit Version)) 2. Why Can't We Be Friends? ((Single))  3. Walkin' On The Sun Remix's ((It's the Best)) 4. Astro-Lounge 5. The East  Bay Sessions  ((Explicit Version)) 6. All-Star ((Single)) By the way, that  Why Can't We Be Friends single has a really wicked "Walkin' On The  Sun" Remix, They call it the "Feat Beat Manifesto Remix".

I was a little reluctant to buy this album due to my dispise of remixes. They are never as good as the originals and sometimes they take away from the originals. In Mariah Carey's Remixes they don't do this at all. In fact they do more, give a twist to a classic but not screwing up anything. On two disc you get 22 remixes (2-discs-cuz some are pretty lengthy)out of the 22, 13 #1 songs...
First off some of the tracks are just brilliantly remixed. Such as the two "My All"'s. I was never a fan of the original but putting an upbeat to them makes a hell of a difference, my personal fave was the funky "My All/Stay Awhile". Another favorite was the "Always Be My Baby" remix with Xscape and Da Brat, very old school sounding and Da Brat adds a nice rap to it. "Thank God I Found You" with Joe and Nas was another winner, yielding "Make It Last Forever" from Mr. Sentimental himself, Keith Sweat. "The One" had old school flavor to it, having some inserts from Guy's "Goodbye Love". I liked Disc Two better, if you like the smoother remix approach with rappers and not much tampering with the original this is for you.
The first disc is what I call, "The Club Mixes". Remixes that are overly long and only good for playing when you are dancing up a storm not listening getting bored with the pulsating beats. Good only for parties. If you like that kinda stuff it's for you. The decent ones off of that disc would be "Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely", "Anytime You Need A Friend" (which stays true to it's gospel origin), "Emotions" (has a twist of the MTV Unplugged version nestled in there) and "Through The Rain" (which is familliar due it's radio play).
Still I have a question, why did Mariah (or Sony for that matter) put un-remixed, album version songs like "Breakdown", "Sweetheart" and "Crybaby" on here? They don't really belong here. "Breakdown" had a remix, why didn't they put that on? Also, they could have taken those out and added in the "Someday" Remix that was featured in her "The First Vision" video. Or even the popular "Honey" remix with P. Diddy and Mase. They totally skipped over that one!
Anyways, if you are a die-hard Mariah fan (like myself :) or like dance music this is the album for you. Even though they had some iffy remixes and some songs that didn't belong, I like this CD and can't wait to use it at my next party!

I was a bit dissappointed to find out that this cd maxi single didn't  contain the album version of the song. But oh well. That one comes out next  week, so I can wait. This cd is still very good. I often love remixes as  much as the songs themselves, sometimes more. The remixes here are very  good and very fun to drive to. Some are very long (11 to 13 minutes) others  are normal song lengths. My favorite mix on this one is number 6, I've  listened to it and the rest of this all day since I got it. I raced out of  school and went to buy it. I'm glad I did. I can't wait for the release of  "Music - the album"!!

Hardcore Britney fans will no doubt be disappointed to see that, with the exception of the new Criminal remix, all the other remixes on this CD have been released somewhere previously.  That doesn't necessarily make it a bad collection, however. Most fans aren't the type to buy every single and download every remix, so for the casual dance music lover, this is a great way to listen to a "greatest hits" of Brit's ferocious club hits in the past few years.

Here's my breakdown of the hits and misses:

THE HOT AND STEAMY
- Piece of Me (Tiesto Club Mix)
- Till the World Ends (Alex Suarez Club Remix)
- Gimme More (Kaskade Club Mix)
- 3 (Manhattan Clique Club Remix)

THE GOOD
- I Wanna Go (Gareth Emery Remix) [I would have preferred the Wallpaper mix]
- Criminal (Radio Mix) [though it doesn't change the original much, this new version really transforms the song for me. I Love it!]
- If U Seek Amy (U-Tern Remix)
- Womanizer (Benny Benassi Extended Mix)

THE EH
- Circus (Linus Loves Remix) [way better remixes to choose from]
- Radar (Tonal Club Mix) [there weren't a lot of great remixes for this song, but this is the worst IMO]

THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY
- while I appreciate them releasing full length club mixes and not just radio mixes, 10 tracks is an incredibly small number considering none of these remixes are new. Where's "Break the Ice" or "Hold it Against Me"? Could they not have thrown in another Criminal mix? A new song, like And Then We Kiss from the first remix cd? I would also have LOVED to see remixes of non-singles, like "Kill the Lights" or "Freakshow."

OVERALL: For a cheap price, this is a good collection of hot dance music that will inspire you to shed the pounds on the treadmill. As a Britney fan, however, I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the lack of new content.

Great import. Clear live tracks and cool remixes. Must for fans.

I LOVE the Poker Face stripped down version with Piano.

I ADORE the Eh, Eh remix with beatboxing.

I HATE the Just Dance "remix". It makes no sense to have included, it is way shortened, and does not even display a hint of her vocal talent (like the Poker Face one does.). Overall, though, it is a very nice GaGa addition.

In November of 2003, Madonna released her fifteenth album entitled, REMIXED & REVISITED, making this album her second remix compilation, the first being 1987's YOU CAN DANCE. This album is simply amazing, with four killer remixes from AMERICAN LIFE, a live recording of an MTV VMA Performance, an unreleased song from the BEDTIME STORIES recording sessions, and a collaboration with Missy Elliott from a GAP commercial.

NOTHING FAILS (Nevins Mix)

  Original version from the album AMERICAN LIFE (2003). The original album version was a beautiful song, with Madonna singing it beautifully. I cannot believe how amazing this remix sounds. It's amazing how Madonna can turn her original ballad into a kick-a** dance remix.

LOVE PROFUSION (Headcleanr Rock Mix)

  Original version from the album AMERICAN LIFE (2003). Great remix.

NOBODY KNOWS ME (Mount Sims Old School Mix)

  Original version from the album AMERICAN LIFE (2003). Great remix.

AMERICAN LIFE (Headcleanr Rock Mix)

  Original version from the album AMERICAN LIFE (2003). This is a great remix, featuring heavy rockin' sounds. Great remix.

Medley: LIKE A VIRGIN/HOLLYWOOD (with Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, & Missy Elliott)

  Live from the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. This is one hell of a performance. It all starts off with Britney Spears at the top of a wedding cake, dressed in a wedding dress (complete with the TOY BOY belt). She starts off the performance with the first verse of "Like A Virgin". But Britney does not sing the chorus, for Christina Aguilera walks around from the back of the cake, dressed in the same wedding dress (complete with the BOY TOY belt), and sings the chorus. They both sing the WHOA OH OH OH lines, while rolling around the stage in their dresses. Suddenly, Madonna enters by arising from the wedding cake, dressed in a groom's jacket (with tails) and top-hat. She comes out to sing "Hollywood". She sings the song's first verse twice. After singing the first verse twice and removing her groom's jacket to reveal a black tank-top, Madonna, Britney, and Christina sing the chorus. Madonna goes back to the first verse of "Hollywood", and then lands a huge kiss on both Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Missy Elliott then joins the ladies, where she sings a reworked verse to her 2002 hit, "Work It". After the "Work It" interlude, the band jumps back into "Hollywood", with Missy Elliott joining the ladies in singing the last four or five lines of the song, making this another controversial, but extremely memorable performance by Madonna, The Queen Diva.

INTO THE HOLLYWOOD GROOVE (The Passengerz Mix) (with Missy Elliott)

  This song was used in the GAP commercial that both Madonna and Missy had shot back in the summer of 2003. The commercial version of this song, was out of order. But this is the full version that features Madonna singing the first verse to Hollywood, and Missy finishing out this song's first verse with a rap, leading Madonna into singing newly written "Into The Groove" choruses. The second verse is left on here from the original "Into The Groove" recording, along with the origianl bridge ("Live out your fantasies here with me...etc"). Great fusion of both "Into The Groove" and "Hollywood".

YOUR HONESTY (Previously Unreleased)

  Recorded during the BEDTIME STORIES album sessions. A great track that was recorded back in 1994, when Madonna was working on her BEDTIME STORIES album. Now, when you put together an album, you don't just record the songs that are already on the album, you record a whole slew of songs, and you make your final selection. Unfortunately, Madonna did not choose for this song to be featured on her BEDTIME STORIES album, but luckily, she decided to include it here. This is a great song, and you dare not skip it.

  This is a great album. Yes, it is only seven tracks, but hey, the quality of this album is amazing, and you won't even think about how this album only features seven tracks. An amazing album here.

"Don't Call Me Baby" is one of the catchiest club songs heard in a very long time. Awesome vocal skills paired with an intoxicating hook make for a fabulous little number. Cheyne Coates has got a wonderful voice  that is very fresh and new - she does not sound like most vocalists out  there today - although I have heard comparisons to Crystal Waters (myself,  I do not hear this similarity).
Armin Van Buuren (remixes for Wamdue  Project's "King Of My Castle" and DJ Rene's "Music All Over  The World") remixes this song with some interesting breaks and a  tougher beat than the original. Pretty decent mix here.
The "Madison  Babe From Outta Space Mix" has an even tougher beat than Armin's  remix. This remix contains elements of Pragha Khan's "Disco Babes From  Outer Space", and is a pretty substantial remix as well.
The best  mix on the disc though, is the original version. Unfortunatly, on this  single, it is only the radio edit. The full length mix is better, only  because you get to listen to it for a longer length of time! The full  length version was available on the deleted Australian & UK editions on  the single, and may be included on the US edition (but I'm not sure about  that).
time listings:
1) Original Mix Edit - 3:47
2) Armin Van  Buuren's Stalker Mix - 7:00
3) Madison Babe From Outta Space Remix -  7:00
the only reason that this disc got 4 out of 5 stars is because of  the missing Original 12" Mix, if this track would have been included  it would have been a five star disc for sure. purchase and enjoy

Hey kids! So, if you're like me and loved the "Charlie's Angels" movie, then you probably love this song from the film as much as I do. And as good as the original is, it only gets better with the remix. Quick rundown...
1) Album Version - 3:41 - funky and fun R&B, produced by Corey Rooney, Poke & Tone and lead singer Beyonce Knowles. This is the version played in the film, and heard all over the radio right now.
2) Joe Smooth's 200 Proof 2 Step Mix - 4:17 - Joe Smooth (whose name I have only seen once before, on his fabulous mix of Whitney Houston & Deborah Cox's "Same Script, Different Cast") gives us a garage mix that isn't horrific, but it's not great either. The whole 2-Step Garage thing is huge in the UK, but it has yet to find an audience in North America. With such a popular song having a remix as such, this might help bring 2step into the forefront...
3) Maurice's Radio Mix - 3:54 - Your typical Maurice mix. His standard light house mix here. Maurice has been involved in every Destiny's Child remix off of the "The Writing's On The Wall" project, kinda like the Mariah/Morales trend (and each time they work together, the songs get staler and staler, as does this remix). It has an interesting Spanish sound near the middle of the track, but with it being a radio edit, we don't get to hear the rest of that sound...
4) Victor Calderone Club Mix - 9:36 - THIS IS IT!! The best club offering to date from Beyonce and Co.! OH! Does Victor ever work this one to death!! You will be tappin' your toes from the very first beat until you realize that you are movin' every inch of your body by the end of it all! A hard mix that is sure to top the dance charts all over the world!
I'm not too sure what is going to be released on the US maxi-single on December 5th, 2000, but if the full Calderone mix does not appear on that version, you had better pick this one up or you'll be missing out on something FIERCE!

First here is the track listing:  (1) TELL ME ALBUM VERSION (2) TELL ME UNTOUCHABLES REMIX (3) TELL ME NDB REMIX + Fold-out Poster of Melanie B.  The Untouchables remix is 80's like.  Bells are added, along with a wicked bass line when she sings verse 1, this follows through most of the song.  The NDB remix has a simple beginning rap beat, and the tone sounds similiar to Victoria Beckham's featured song with Dane Bowers and True Steppers "Out Of Your Mind."  Marimba bell-part (which is the bass line) goes along with the beat.  The song seems a little slow at first...but when Mel starts singing...her lyrics are a lot quicker than the orginal version.  Definate workout beat and tune.  The Chorus is repeatative with the intro, and this creates a kewl effect!  The lyrics of the song is basically a hack back at Jimmy Gulzar, suggesting to the listener that he continually lied to Melanie.  A GREAT buy if you like Melanie B!

Well, as a primary fan of These brillant girls remixes, I can honestly say I do not own ANY of there CD's since I am not really into an R+B feel, but I am into there club and dance remixes, which is what I specialize in.  I have all these talanted girls on 12" vinyl, and the mixes are great.  If you notice alot of Re-mixers are gay or gay friendly, to power up any club, I am very shocked that I do not see the remixes on line for the greatest comeback song "Lose My Breath" I currently own the Maurice Joshua/ Pete Rauhofer/ Illicit/ Hq2 (Hex Hector with Mac Quayle/ and the best mix I have found is the Trypsin Vocal Club Mix a very Calderone'ish feeling, with overdubs and echos, and then a pure non stop build up into a vocal stream that takes you to 90mph while driving.  If the CD sales are not all that great, at least the remixes pay the (bills,bills,bills) I really feel badly for these girls, they have wonderful voices, and just like LeAnn Rimes, Or Shania Twain, even Faith Hill, have all realized that the Gay society tends to spend more on music, and there are more gay remixers out there than one may realize, I suppose that if the remixes to "lose my breath" are released in there entirement, they will once again be on top of the world.  Being a DJ as well as a gay man I find It hard to believe that even The Diva RuPaul's latest 2004 renix of "Lookin Good....." is not released, I do not realy understand this tease to the public, yet at least I have the inside track, and know the right people, to make my business, as a DJ and an owner of all male resort in Ft Lauderdale a huge success.  I have nothing against anyone, I am just happy in the skin I am in, and would not trade it for a moment.  Again this is not a bad CD, but for the comeback of anticipation...it really should be released as remixes only.  I hear the radio edits/mixes and it makes anyone gay or straight want more, BUT for such a great song to be released only (so far) on the full CD is a real dissapointment, I guess I am lucky to be a "Survivor" even the Calderone Remix is very hard to find unless you own a "turntable".  Hope this was helpful, I still suggest buying this CD, since there is alot of potentioal for additional singles, and remixes.
