Lovely song

Why did I only give it three stars then? I don't know really. Iglesias has a lovely voice, and the song is beautiful, but my enjoyment will always be biased because I feel that Springsteen's version is much better, much more nuanced and original. I guess I think since he wrote it, it makes sense that he would know better. The song is beautiful and Enrique doesn't damage it a bit. I can't say I agree with the reviewer who said Enrique improved it. He did make it more pop and mainstream, I suppose, but the mature multi-faceted nature of the song is better drawn out by its writer. I don't quite like artists mixing and remixing their songs either (although I'm not saying its a crime or anything), so perhaps that also biased me. In any case, this isn't a bad song, there are a good number of people who will enjoy this version the most. I tend to think of the three versions done, this song is the worst, but this is not to say it is bad. Springsteen and country artist Trisha Yearwood give it another dimension, and Bruce best of all. Because so much of its strength lies in the actual crafsmanship, credit lies elsewhere, but again Enrique doesn't ruin the song. Its the type of single where you wouldn't blame anyone for buying it. Lovely.

This single is definitely not sad!

The 4th single from Enrique Iglesias, "Sad Eyes", is a very touching song. It's a Bruce Springsteen re-make, and it sounds better than it's original. Unfortuantely, I didn't buy this CD, don't tell anyone, (but I burnt it)! Sorry. But, it's just as good. All of the remixes are fabulous. Here's my overall review of the tracks:

1: Album Version- Well, I like it. It's slow, but good. As I said, it's a very touching song, and he sings it great.=5 Stars

2: Rodney Jerkins Remix- This is a great remix. One of Rodney Jerkins best. It sounds like it's based on the original beat, but it's pretty good. It's got a lot of R&B beats and a lot of drums. Sounds good from a good remixer. = 5 Stars

3: Guy Roche Remix- No offense, but this is the worst one of them all. It's not as great as the rest of them. I hate the beginning, it's all "A Cappella". It's alright, but not great. It's sounds a lot like the original version also. = 3.5 Stars

4: HQ2 Radio Remix: This radio remix is a lot better than the club version. The club mix is 9:29, and it's very dragged out. This mix has got a very techno/trancey kinda feel. It's very upbeat and very different from the other two remixes. One of Hex Hector and Mac Quayle's best mixes. = 5 Stars

Well, there you have it. Just because I didn't buy it, doesn't mean it's not worth it. One of Enrique's best! There's my review of "Sad Eyes (CD-Single)[IMPORT]"

Letter Grade : B+

You won't have sad eyes if you buy this

This song is amazing. The remixes are not over-worked like some songs (i.e.Whitney Houston)- they are about as long as the original but each has a unique approach to it. If you love Enrique like I do, then you will not be disappointed with this purchase.
