Me neither! I don’t like this cover. Maybe just because, I don’t like dance-music.

Get lost with those stupid dance-covers.
I want the original, that’s 1000 times better.

I havent listenened to it but I doubt it will be a hit in the US, as it is dance...

Just listened to them snippets, not really impressed. Don’t really like the vocals, as others have mentioned. The only thing that makes it good, is the classic piano tune!

I think it’s cool
You have to take it for what it is
When your big people want to do covers But the real is better ofcourse nothing is like Roxette

not into dance music,never have been & never will be & i’m not a lover of dance covers but it can’t be that bad,i mean at least roxette will be getting some sort of recognition & who knows!maybe it could start a roxette revival.

*shrugs* what do you expect from a dance remix?
good enough for what it is...

I agree with Seba. Edmees Unplugged vocal NOT ON THE CD is really good. It is more of a ballad then Roxette’s ! Tho I prefer the toughness and bitterness of Marie !

Hi Everybody,
Oh punaise, my god !!!
Let’s say, it’s a pitty to “destroy” such a good song to make it a “dance hit”. But in the other hand, I got to say t is surprising that a ballad can be remixed as a dance hit.
the original one sounds much better. Roxette can be proud that this band use this Roxette song and give it an other dimension. In my opinion, this is just a question of taste. You like it or you dislike it, it’s like that.

I’ve got to add that for some nostalgic people, it’s a good “souvenir” and it’s a way to younger people to discover Roxette. It would be sad Roxette to be forgotten by “the young generation”.

Yep they’re for free, but they’re only snippets of a minute or so.
I think the remixes are pretty cool. Just imagine a big dance arena, thousands of ravers and this song... Bruno, you are right!!
martin_nl said on February 8, 2005 23:41:
BTW you can even buy the cd-single on amazon.com for only 7 USD.

I think it’s cool that great songs like “listen to your heart” get remixed and covered, but I hope the DHT give credit for it to Roxette and mention where it came from.I think we all believe that that is the fir thing to do, after all, covering and remixing is supposed to be a kind of a tribute to th band that originally scored with the song.I can’t wait to listen to it, i hope it’s good and not another poor cover.
Roxette-atic said on February 9, 2005 04:26:
In my opinion; it IS another poor cover..
Chaghi said on February 7, 2005 18:43:
Has anyone managed to listen to it? How is it like? Hope they didn’t ruine it...
