Remixed Fair, But Not OK

Sometimes, when I constantly hear remixes, they aren't really as good as the original. For Whitney Houston, she has definitely proved the point. Her song, It's Not Right But It's OK, the third single from her 1998 album, My Love Is Your Love, is a very edgey and strong song from a diva that has defined the music industry. The remixed version Rodney Jerkins whipped from Whitney is fair, but it really isn't as invigorating as the original one found on My Love Is Your Love. I like the song, but it was just not Whitney's best dance song, as much as her earlier songs were like I'm Your Baby Tonight, and I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Whitney + Thunderpuss = DA BOMB!!

The Thunderpuss remixes of "It's Not Right But It's Okay" are true classics and put the boys of Thunderpuss (Barry Harris & Chris Cox) on the map of US remixers. These remixes gives the song some extra energy and yes - they got a lot of airplay and seemed to be even more popular than the original itself. Whitney too must have loved them since she re-did the music video using the Thunderpuss Radio Mix. This new version got a lot of airplay on MTV and VH1 so it broadened its fields which was really cool. The Club 69 remixes are really awesome, they give the song a cool club touch, reminds me a lot of club artist from the 90's like Loveland, M People and Rozalla to mention some. Peter Rauhofer can be proud of himself. Haven't heard the Rodney Jerkins mixes, but the smashing bonus one, the KILLER club remix by the king of remixing HEX HECTOR - the spectacular remix of "I Will Always Love You" just took my breath away the first time I heard this new, fresh remix of Whitney's classic. Even my mum loved it! Buy this single now, you'll not regret it! An essential single in your Whitney collection or in any pop/dance music collection for that matter.

Whitney's Independent Woman song.

The woman finding strength in putting her man to the curb is nothing new ----try old country music and classic R&B for fine examples. But with "It's Not Right But It's Okay" the remixes really put this song into orbit. The Thunderpuss Mixes are what made this song gel and it just seems better with each listen . These mixes were put on to the "Heartbreak Hotel " cd single along with the somewhat okay mixes by Johnny Vicious. This cd now features Club 69 mastermind Peter Rauhofer doing quite a good job as well. The real find is the over the top mixes for "I Will Always Love You" by Hex Hector. They are right up there with some of his best mixes.
