One day soon I'll get back to my themed posting but for now...It's Randomania :-D
Celine Dion - Shadow Of Love (JM's DJ Gabriel G Radio Edit)
**For me, Celine's "Taking Chances" CD was one of the best of 2007 thus far and this was immediately one of my favorite tracks. It's an upbeat number originally and Gabriel G, whomever he might be, took it to the next level amping it up with a high and hard bpm which you don't usually get to hear Celine at!!**

Chris Brown - With You (JM's Tracy Young Radio Edit)
**While Im not always a huge fan of R&B music, you can't deny Chris Brown's talent. He can sing, he can dance and he can act! This song, once a beautiful mid-tempo ballad has been brought to the dance floor through the incredible talent of Tracy Young. The vocals are a bit fast but it's a great mix all and all.**

Deborah Cox - It's Over Now (Hex Hector Retro-Future Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This was always a favorite of mine but I didn't really care for this mix that much. For me, naturally, Junior's mix was the one to beat. Hex does provide a cute early set summer song but I prefer my Deborah with my hands in the air!!**

Garbage - Push It (JM's Victor Calderone Radio Edit)
**This one was just itching to get to the dancefloor! With lyrics like "Push it! Make the beats go harder!" it was just a matter of time. Well, Victor Calderone rips through this with some serious distortion synths and very clever vocal reconstruction to make a thumper like no other! Favorite part: The breakdown where he extends the lyric "This is the noise that keeps me awake. My head explodes and my body aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaches!". Try NOT dancing to this one!!**

Janet Jackson - Feedback (Jody Den Broeder Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I don't even know where to begin with this one. Anyone who can honestly say that Jody is not the next best thing in dance music production must be headless. This mix is P-E-R-F-E-C-T from start to finish! I was completely blown away with the production on this and I prefer this one to the original. This man can do NO wrong. Also, this is some of the best Janet I've heard in a long time. What can you say when she sings "Cause my swag is serious. Something heavy like a first day period."?? Only Janet can get away with something like that.**

Jesse McCartney - Leavin (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**After dissappearing for a bit, little Jesse McCartney is back and this time, he's not so little anymore. Check out the video! I don't know how old he is and while I don't usually go for younger guys, he looks hot! He's got a cute little body on him now and with less of a Disney image, he brings us 'Leavin' which Bimbo Jones took and made it dancefloor ready and these days anything they touch is gold and this is no exception.**

Mikaila - So In Love With Two (JM's Hex Hector Radio Edit)
**Meanwhile also on the pop scene, but this time circa 2000 we have Mikaila who looks like a young Celine and sings like a Christina/Jessica hybrid. While she only had this one minor hit, Hex Hector, Jonathan Peters and Cibola got their hands on this before she vanished. The Hex Hector mix (my favorite) was available on the CD single and the others, only on vinyl. If anyone has the JP and Cibola mixes of this, I'd greatly appreciate them. I don't have the hook-up to put vinyl to my computer. Nonetheless tho, Hex turns this one out in a big way.**

Miley Cyrus - See You Again (Johnny Coppola Dance You Again Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Alright. Im not gonna say that I don't completely hate her but I don't really see what all the craze is. I don't actually care for this song and I really don't think she's THAT talented. Granted, her target audience may not be the most musically astute but I guess it's her over-all appeal that makes her what she is. But she's Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter for goodness sake!! I was at a club last night and they played this and the place went wild! Maybe Im just out of the loop! However, Chris Cox remixed Hannah Montana's 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'Make Some Noise' and they're really good, so who knows! Let's see if she's still around in 5 years and we'll talk then lol**

Taylor Dayne - Beautiful (JM's Scotty K Radio Edit)
**I don't care what anyone says, Taylor Dayne is THE most underrated artist out there right now. We all know and love her for "Tell It To My Heart" and all that jazz but she should be SO much bigger than she is now. Her voice speaks for itself and if you haven't gotten her new CD "Satisfied", go NOW to amazon.com and go get it! You won't be dissappointed! She even does two great covers on it. One, a very unexpectedly good version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge" and the other comes from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack with Des'ree's "Kissing You". Of course, there's this song, the lead single which Hex Hector and Scotty K both mixed wonderfully but due to a glitch in my Hex Hector mix, I only have this one for now. I'll post Hex's as soon as I get a better file.**

T-Pain - Church (Bimbo Jones Clean Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is one of the strangest things I've ever heard. Im usually lukewarm about rap going dance but this one sorta works for me. Again, the very abled hands of Bimbo Jones took a rap song and made it a hands in the air anthem.**

What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge?
If there's one person that no matter what, I've been a fan of, it's Celine.
She's got the voice and I think she's got the looks. And by the looks of this picture, she's got the hair as well!
But back to the voice...Everyone knows it and it's natural it would make it's way to the dancefloor and it has many a time over the years.
Tony Moran's mix of "To Love You More" was amazing as was Thunderpuss' mix of "I Want You To Need Me"--Stunning!!
Even in small room mixes like Metro's mix of "That's The Way It Is", Celine brings it home every time.
I wil go on record as saying that as a full length album, her latest effort "Taking Chances" is easily one of the best albums of 2007. It combines many different styles and of course, her voice sounds flawless! 16 tracks in total (and thats without the bonus tracks!) gives you plenty of Celine for months to come.
The first single and title track "Taking Chances" is a pop/rock midtempo song that shows a different side of Celine. Don't believe me? Watch the video! Hah!
So far, I've found 3 remixes and as much as I love the song AND Celine, the remixes don't really do all that much for me. The I-Soul mix took a good shot but fell short with me with the chord progression. Matt Piso took a different route and made a very simplistic electro track that's very one level. Doesn't go very far and to me, undermines the "umph" of the song. I did however, have the highest hopes for Ralphi Rosario & Craig J's mix but much like the others, it just demeans the could-be-anthem of Celine's delivery. Ralphi and Craig made it more soulful which is nice, but not a floor filler. Ralphi does deliver a pretty interesting Dub though, so check that one out.
But here, as it stands, are my edits. Let's hope for more mixes!!

I Drove All Night: A Retrospective
There are certain pop songs that just seem to stand out from the rest. "I Drove All Night" in all it's incarnations is one of those songs for me.
While I do favor the version I linked below, there is a little bit of background to this song.
Originally written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly for Roy Orbison in 1987, it was Cyndi Lauper's version in 1989 that became a top-ten hit (and subsequently her last top-ten hit to date). Roy's version never saw the light of day until 1992, after it was released posthumously after Roy had passed away.
However, it was in 2003 that this song saw the light of day once again when Celine Dion decided to re-record it for her One Heart album. Like Billie Ray Martin, what can't Celine sing? Her vocals soar in this one and Hex Hector's remix keeps up perfectly with her throughout.
This song went to number 1 for Celine in 3 countries and was in the top-ten charts of 10 other countries! Even though in their own rights, Cyndi's and Roy's versions are great, Celine's takes the cake for me!
The song was even featured in TV commercials for the Chrysler Pacifica crossover vehicle.
