Mariah, Madonna...and of course, more edits!!

I would like to remind everyone (even tho most of you are so sweet to me!) that I do all this work and write this blog because it's a labor of love. As a fellow blogger wrote recently, I too have a life outside of here and it takes me time to get these done. Also, when it comes to requests, I don't mind taking them as long as they are ASKED for. Making shopping lists of edits is a sure fire way to NOT get them done.

I try my hardest to get to everyone's requests and emails and to respond with the pleasantries everyone shows me but to make a list of edits as if they were demands--No good. For those people this applies to, if this keeps up, your requests will be ignored. I don't want to have to be this way but I feel like asking nicely hasn't worked.

Now, before anyone gets dissappointed, This posting will not have any mixes by the two M's, but I had to take a minute to talk about some things and get it off my chest...

First - Madonna's new video with Justin Timberlake.

Ok, so I'll start off by admitting that I do love this song! It's everything you've come to expect from Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. It makes you sing along and you just can't help but move to it as well.

Now, here's my issue. Madonna, now in her 50's, looks great for her age. She really does. Her body is toned like the body of a 25 year old. However, her face is WAY too stoic. I feel like she's lost her ability to have facial expressions. She HAD to have had some kind of work done because she almost doesn't look like herself anymore.

There are some good moments here and there. A glance at the camera, a little bit of fancy footwork, but over all I feel that having her in that video, with that kind of song, next to Justin Timberlake, just makes her look older. Not only that but I feel like Justin didn't dance half as much as he normally does as to not upstage Madonna who's dances were "cute" but over all kinda boring.

Granted, she can still jump on cars and run around with him and not look tired--and bravo for her--but there are some moments when it looks like they're trying to have some sexual tension and for me thats just a no-go. So here's to you Mrs Robinson! I hope that she can age a little bit more gracefully than this...

Second - Mariah's "E=MC2" CD.

It's here! It leaked! THANK GOD!!! THIS. CD. IS. FLAWLESS!!!!! I just can't get enough!!! If you can find it, get it! If you can't buy it! Even if you've gotten the leak--Buy it anyway!! Mariah has really outdone herself this time and I dare to say that I enjoy this CD as much, if not more, than "Emancipation".

Fave Tracks: "Migrate", "Touch My Body", "Side Effects" (INCREDIBLE!!), "I Stay In Love", "That Chick", "Love Story", "Bye Bye", "Thankx 4 Nothin"... But they're ALL amazing!!

How can you argue with lyrics like "See I'm on my way home/Cause my jeans, yeah they fit/But it might benefit/Me to throw something on/To feature my hips/Accentuate my tits/And steal the show." in "Migrate"??

I love her. Always have always will. This will be another platinum record for sure!!

...And now for the edits!!

Tamia - Me (Soul Seekerz Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I've always loved her! Even before she hit the mainstream with "Stranger In My House" and she had her R&B hit "So In Love" and then when JP mixed her song "Can't Go For That" I knew the dancefloor wasn't done with her. She's had a good string of remixes and this one is just one more for the catalog. The Rosabel mix seemed to be the one of choice for most people and while that one is a nice big room, I definitely prefer this mix. Soul Seekerz = Gold.**

Tamia - Me (Rosabel Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
http://www.mediafire.com/?jcvdttkfz5m

Aubrey - Stand Still (JM's Dezrok Radio Edit)
**This is THE Aubrey song! Out of everything she's ever released, by far this is the best. This ruled the dancefloor for so long and it's easy to see why! The opening is amazing and the song has some great abstract lyrics like "I stepped outside myself today and took a walk around/ I wandered from path to path/Without making a sound...". Dezrok killed this one! Sick production!!**

Cher - Different Kind Of Love Song (JM's Johnny Rocks Radio Edit)
**There never is and never will be anyone quite like this woman. While the "Believe" album dominated the charts, I always favored her follow-up "Living Proof". Still sticking with the dance/pop feel this album had more emotion in it than "Believe" did and we got a great remix package for this song which included Johnny Rocks, Rosabel and Craig C among others. Rosabel's was great and Craig C's was cute as well but Johnny Rocks kept with most of the original formula of the song which I always preferred.**

Cher - The Music's No Good Without You (JM's Walter Taieb Radio Edit)
**This is quite possibly one of the strangest mixes I've ever heard but I find it to be so intriguing I had to include it. It's not a full vocal but it's got a great beat and some really interesting elements you don't hear very often. It's funky and abstract so check it out and tell me what you think!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?jvd4gcjir2v

Donna Summer - Power Of Love (JM's Offer Nissim Radio Edit)
**This is some great Offer production here!! Donna took on the classic Luther Vandross song and of course, anything she sings is awaits the dancefloor transformation and it couldn't have been covered better than this. A gorgeous intro and a thumping beat here, Donna sounds as current now as she did in the 70's. Long Live Summer!!**

Loleatta Holloway - Love Sensation 2006 (JM's Hi-Tack Radio Edit)
**What can I say about this really? Loleatta's trademark wailing never gets old for me and while this song has been sampled umpteen times it still works with every treatment it gets. This by far is the best one out there. Hi-Tack/Beatfreakz have the knack (although formulaic) to make throw your hands in the air anthems like no one else does these days. This mix is a STOMPER from start to finish!! "YOU GET DOWN!!!!"**
http://www.mediafire.com/?emlwxdyyg49

Paula Abdul - Dance Like There's No Tomorrow (JM's Soul Seekerz Radio Edit)
**We all remember I was burnt and posted the full mix a few posts back, well here's the edit! Haha! Sorry!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?nhgcvsf1uki

ReAct - Let's Go All The Way (JM's Johnny Vicious Club Dub Radio Edit)
**When this song hit the NYC club scene it exploded! It was used in advertisements for clubs all over the area and even made it's way to 103.5 KTU. When KTU aired it they had an edit that used both Johnny Vicious' Vocal Mix as well as the Dub which was just as big if not bigger than the vocal. So in that spirit I tried to recreate that edit here.**

Superchumbo - Irresistable (JM's Junior Vasquez Earth Radio Edit)
**One of my top 10 favorite Junior mixes EVER!! This one tore through the dancefloor at Exit everytime he played it and even now it gives me chills. I promise you won't be dissappointed!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?nyect0mejch

The Cliks - Cry Me A River (JM's Tracy Young Radio Edit)
**I got sent this randomly and apparently this Toronto based band (who all look like they could be Zac Efrons body doubles) are known for their reworking of this Justin Timberlake song. And now Tracy Young has reworked their...uh...rework! Interesting but JT's still got the franchise on this. However, Tracy's mix with JT's vocals would be gold.**

Veronica - Someone To Hold (JM's Johnny Vicious Extended Radio Mix)
**I've tackled this song so many times and each time I do I get a little bit better with it lol! This is a monster anthem and it's hard to chop out things in it, but here's my latest effort. Hope you enjoy it!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?bmutwkyzlcr

As my old friend Lawrence would say...

..."All I need is a big black bitch singin out her pussy!!"

I need no other explanation for this post. I love these women here! THIS is how dance music vocals are done!!

Barry Harris feat Pepper Mashay - I Got My Pride (Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Basically any dance song that has 'pride' in it is bound to be an anthem. It's here, it's queer, get used to it!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?avxhmm4u9yc

Dolce - Fire (Orange Factory Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**My fave Dolce song. Where is SHE now??**
http://www.mediafire.com/?2vxsmtp3fzd

Jennifer Holliday - A Woman's Got The Power (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**There's no words for this one. Jennifer at her finest! She really is MY Dreamgirl!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?2xsmmyed5zu

Jennifer Holliday - A Woman's Got The Power (Thunderpuss Pop Crossover Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is produced by Thunderpuss but it's alot tamer than the other mix. This is like Thunderpuss' Lite FM version. Still a dance beat but a little prettier...er...as pretty as this song could ever get.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?4sdikj1mx2m

Jennifer Holliday - Think It Over (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Another great track from Jenn and Thunderpuss!! As much as I love the edits for these songs, I highly reccommend the full club mixes on these two Jenn songs.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?5jkm4gjjxje

Jennifer Holliday - Think It Over (Original Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This version has more of a soulful disco house feel which is nice, but not something I really get into that often. I will say this though, go to the end of the edit, listen to the last 10 seconds. The noise she makes clearly isn't human. It's like she's eating notes by the second. How could you NOT love her??**

Reina - Anything For Love (Hex Hector Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**She may not be actually black but she's big alright and she's got a big voice to go with it. She's a mainstream dance music dream with catchy songs that make you throw your hands in the air. This one's no exception! Also, the backup singers on this one are dance music's own Deborah Cooper and Mariah Carey backup singer Mary Ann Tatum!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?0lyzmghwmxn

Reina - Anything For Love (Welcome Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**A different take on this great track**
http://www.mediafire.com/?cj9jwmgxqot

Reina - Find Another Woman (Hex Hector Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**It's a classic! Nuff said!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?6mdgtxk1yzy

Reina - Miss The Way (Razor N Guido Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Of all of Reina's songs, this is by far and above my favorite. Co-Written by Guido Osorio for their 'Dancefloor' CD, Reina rips this one apart with excellent production by Razor & Guido.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?6cv0tjs130m

Reina - Miss The Way (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**While I definitely prefer Razor N Guido's mix of this, Junior's effort is excellent! Not as high energy as the RNG but it has some great elements in it.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?exbgxv2yn33

Reina - No One's Gonna Change You (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit)
**Official Edit**
**Another Reina classic! This is a gorgeous production by JP here but not my favorite.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?8ywigdxmx91

Reina - No One's Gonna Change You (Robbie Tronco Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Maybe it's because I heard this one before JP's but this is the mix I prefer. I fell in love with this song with this mix and even tho JP did an excellent job on this song, I prefer Robbie's tougher approach to it because it is in fact a "fuck you" type song.**

Kim English - Bumpin & Jumpin (Michael T Diamond Radio Edit)
**Official Edit**
**As much as I love some of her music, I never got why this one was as big as it was. Yes, Michael did a good job with it, but I think that Missing You was a MUCH better song and should've been a bigger hit than it was.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?3941z9jn314

Kim English - Missing You (JM's Extended Mindtrap Radio Mix)
**Tough song to edit!! There's so much of Kim throughout, so I did as best as I could and still trying to get the best parts from the song. This is a highly underrated Kim song and my favorite of all of her stuff.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?8421m40mwdn

Kim English - Supernatural (Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**A lesser known Kim song. Produced by Hula.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?52ib34xya4z

Kim English - Unspeakable Joy (Razor N Guido Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is Kim at her peak. This song was as unstoppable as it was 'unspeakable'.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?5mscmxzn34k

Kim English - Unspeakable Joy (Bobby D'Ambrosio Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**A funkier take on it. It's labeled as the Osio Edit when you DL it cause thats how they have it on the single, but I like to give people their credit when it's do.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?3mtmjn4zm3m

Deborah Cox - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Mix)
**While the Valentin mix to this really took over mainstream radio, I find that the Junior mix excells in the story telling aspect of this Phil Collins cover. Deborah of course sounds excellent and Junior's production is dark and dramatic which I love.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?32cyyd2cgdj

Donna Summer - I Will Live For Love (JM's Chris Cox Radio Edit)
**This song was written by Donna for a musical she was writing about her life and times. Originally produced by Giorgio Moroder, Chris Cox took this WAY up to the next level! Drama galore and amazing vocals from the original Disco Diva!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?8gj9ejzljdx

Pusaka presents Thea Austin - You're The Worst Thing For Me (JM's Dirty Pusaka Radio Edit)
**Thea Austin originally had her claim to fame as the voice behind Snap's "The Power" in the early 90's and thank god we had her for this anthem! Pusaka is actually the team of Chris Cox and DJ Irene who really made something amazing here. It's a shame they haven't collaborated again. I had to splice this one up because the radio edit on the single was censored when she sing "And I'm outta my head cause you're fucking my friend" and, well, how could I NOT include that?? Since I went that far, I also added the talking part at the end from the full mix.**

Vernessa Mitchell - This Joy (Razor N Guido Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Who doesn't know this one either? This is Dance Music History 101 and you don't get bigger or blacker than my girl Vernessa. Take it to church honey!!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?2n4mmfv4np1

Vernessa Mitchell - This Joy (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This song was actually in a movie. A documentary really called "Hang The DJ" which featured Junior in it...as well as Kristine W. Even though the RNG mix was the more popular one, Junior turned out a solid club thomper as well.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?36em56kyjmn

Tony Moran feat Deborah Cooper - Live You All Over (JM's Radio Edit)
**When Tony remixes a song, it's almost always amazing but when Tony writes and produces an original song, it's a whole new story. Deborah Cooper comes out from backup singer to the forefront in this one (as she did with Victor Calderone in "Are You Satisfied?") and really lets us have it!**
