  • where the hell is the original version by nina simone

  • It's not the original. It's not supposed to be the original. 

  • acabou mesmo com a música!!

  • nice attempt but just too much

  • acabou com a música !!!

  • More talentless cut and past computer crap by someone with no musical ability whatsoever

  • There is actually a worthy remix of Simone's masterpiece: Backini - "Nu-Life"

  • @Capillus I like the Joe Claussell Remix of it off Verve Remixed.

  • That was horrific. Should be illegal to ruin music like that

  • bullshit

    

  • I like it!! I know many of you don't like it. But I see it has art, I don't believe he was being disrespectful. I honestly think we was giving a tribute to a great singer. I didn't like the soul train dancer. But I respect his view.

  • this is amezing. i tought mily cirys is shit but now i know this is it you dont undestend nothing do you?

  • this is so nice! I bet she is smiling from the heavens down on you. Because she realizes that time has changed over the years with life of the peoples movements ritualistic sound vibrations and i find this music awesome :) and many ppl are negative about it. At least your keeping her love and presence alive! ^^ we seem to filter out differently seems all around the world! One Love

  • I accept that the web allows us all freedom of expression, and there has been effort put into producing this, but mate, if this is it don't bother again. You've ripped the heart and (importantly) soul out of probably the best version of this number. Even the silly X-Factor bunny was better than this. In fact shoving wasps up your arse is better than this!

  • @MaxDaMedic heal yourself and those who's hearts are ripped in real life. this is someone expressing the love through his/her eyes. This is beyond art. ITs actually sometimes life and personality and culture to keep what alive exactly? Not brooken hearts... but the LOVE so lets think take some steps back on this one.

    Actually see what this is about. Obviously something triggered in you of this.

    hmmmm

  • @MedusasKimono. We all need some kind of healing, but I'm afraid that this abortion of a cover isn't gonna do it. This isn't someone "expressing the love thru' his/her eyes', its someone believing they have a lot more talent than they actually possess. And please give examples of what is 'beyond art'. The only thing that I can think of is Genius, and this ain't it. And very sorry, but just don't understand your later sentence re personality & culture. It simply doesnt make sense. x

  • @MaxDaMedic that I get.... do not be sorry because you don't get me, understand me in many/any ways. One example of beyond art is one of you not understanding the sense of it.

    you have your way of looking/expressing/understandi­ng...

    I have my own.

    good day to u.

  • what a disrespectful remix to the great Nina Simone.

  • co za gówno ktoś zrobił! to nie jest jakiś festynowy shit tylko porządna piosenka a wy robicie jakąś wiochę!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow!! I don't think much has to be said about how terrible this is....actually I'm lost for words :S

  • As we say : Shit happens !

  • put**n c'est l’horreur

  • This shit is garbage

  • remixes could be great but when you have no consideration for the original beat. You just plow throw the song with mediocre house beats, i can find anywhere. Nina can't defend herself but i will. Please dont do that again, unless...uhhhh...yeah just dont do that again! kthx

  • Not like it hasn't already been said, but this is just downright disrespectful to Nina.

  • This is a music-channel! Don't mix it up with the other sites u'r visiting....

  • W(here)tf is the original version, I'm sick of other people covering it and other dildos remixing songs

  • Epic FAIL!

  • sometimes shit happens

  • Wow. D Jay Styler or Manyshadows, you shouldnt pursue this as a career. If your going to take a song by Nina Simone, or any of the divas from back then, and make a remix, you better damn sure make it good. This sounded horrible. Why would you even give this song a techno mix? The original holds strong to this day. Dont fuck it up like that. Horrible mix, shouldnt even be played.

  • I dig house, techno, trans, etc., but this is soooooooo weak. You gotta come with something better if you're gonna mix a great song by a timeless vocalist.

  • ::powerful combination::

  • U R free to stay in stuck in the past. Some ppl dont get house, so what?

    But do you have a video up that's got over 378,000 plays?

    Ha! I didn't think so.

    Its a poor mono version of the mix.. but people who have not heard Nina before have been turned on by it. I don't care what you say..u can go back to the durge of the original tempo anytime. I love Nina's original too, meant no disrespect.

    I had a lot of fun making this track. Most ppl agree.

    Polarized Neg heads can go take a flying f*** !

  • i can't really beleive that i like this mix, i can see myself on the dance floor in a hip club and i have loved nina for many years, you are one of the best, maybe this song will be played in clubs and the young will get to know the real nina simone-- peace and blessing to all

  • Sorry but this is a piece of crap

  • Weak. Show some respect.

  • Why do a shit mix to an EPIC song

  • i am sorry but it is not easy to mix a song that is slow to an upbeat tune and this dj did it well with out losing the feel of the song if you did not know the song before you would have no way to judge it so keep up what you do

  • Honestly, these are the kinds of songs you don't mess with.

    With all respect to your time taken to do this,

    m

  • dude u messed a good song up wtf wrong with u

  • fantastic!!!

  • @davidshep49. I know the song was awsome and the this guy goes and puts a gay beat behind it

  • High Quality Fats Money "Feeling Good" 2010

  • Wow, I'm shocked to find myself really liking this. I'm a total Nina fanatic, before I saw this I was of the opinion that no one should mess with her music, it doesn't need remixing, she was great as she was. But I'll hand it to you, your work is excellent, and the visuals were extremely creative and sympathetic to the mood. So I gotta back off my original presumption, you did a great job. It can indeed be done with class and quality. You opened my mind a bit, thanks!

  • que mierda

  • people are seriously trippin if they dont like this remix...plz youtube community stop carelessly hating on videos and develop a decent comment with constructive criticism...

  • Yuck!- Why tamper with such a great original song. This is terrible.

  • terrible

    way to ruin a great song

  • I always did the solid with the ephereal

  • be happy that musicians and artists look to the past for inspirations and keep their music alive... stop and think before you post. This is actually pretty chill if you listen to it objecively

  • This is the equivalent of kidnapping someone's child, attaching it to your windshield, running the wipers at 120 beats per minute and hoping it sounds good.

    It doesn't.

  • Personally, I just think the beat doesn't exactly match up with the tempo of the original song. Slow it down a bit, perhaps slip a bit more of the original instrumentals in the song. It just seems so fast for such a slick song.

  • I am an absolute lover of the original nina version. But it's not everyday that someone can take this song and not only add their own unique personality to it but keep the meaning of the words from dissappearing. I love this mix. It's a loveley break from divaesque people who don't get it trying to be sexy and sultry with it. I want this so bad. =^-^= kudos!

  • Une catastrophe! Ca gache la chanson!

  • What a terrible remix !

    Classics should be left alone by people with no musical feeling whatsoever.

  • loool

  • Everyone is a Critic.

  • i thought this is nice. not n ya face and every1 on about ruining it but great artist get ripped off everyday. its not like he/she has made millions off doing something they enjoyed and i for that matter out of the song.

  • Sagebrushocean makes a really good point. It's a cool idea and I like how it turned out.

    disannAPP- Hah hah hah, you tell 'em!

  • my ears hurt, but it sounds interesting.

  • you just can't ruin that song like that!

  • Im really grooving on this mix!

  • I'd like to see all the smartasses (or straight up ASSES) who have nothing better to do than pointlessly trash other people's posts do something even HALF this cool. Originals are always originals but any effort to fuse & rejuvenate is to be applauded, in my book--especially when it actually sounds GOOD! Keep up the groove, PEACE.

  • @sagebrushoceans The music mashup is OK but I wouldn't have mixed Nina's video with Disco videos perhaps some landscape videos or something like that but NO DISCO VIDEOS. Other than that great work, hope you show us more.

  • nerd

  • "the chick is fucking ugly" - do you come from a cave 2000 years ago? I think you would need to come out from your corner and take a look at what makes a true gifted person, instead of talking crap

  • im sure ur mom was even uglier bitch !!

  • write some music of your own instead of f*king up someone else's

  • Big deal stupid electric drums with some modulation!

  • garbage!..defamation of good music

  • Amazing! Love this!! More more!!

  • This is what happens when mixing fine wine with transmission fluid

  • @Georgchee Not just got hang up. But plus with vomit.

  • @Georgchee LOL! I agree

  • GOOD JOB...!!!

  • I LIKE IT FOR A CATWALK...

  • would be good if the beat was in time with the voice...

  • Sounds arite but should have timestretched the vocals.

  • Well original is original but dis one aint so bad if you get poped up with drugs xD

  • the video is cool.. but i'm not too sure about that remix!

  • awesome to keep her music alive for generation after generation!

  • this is an insult to nina simone. she would've spit in the face of whoever did this to her music.

  • Agreed, just not on the spit part.

  • Comment removed

  • pinche Nina me gusta como cantas pero creo quer ahora si la cagaste

  • Que forma mas estupida de joder un tema tan cojonudo.

  • be really great with some better quality timelapse footage throughout, very relaxing.

  • Swallowed up by the music, great trance music. also great admirer of nina. Not sure why people are upset with your music, It's music after all, you either enjoy it or you don't, no point getting the panties in a twist.

  • Ihr reitet wohl alle noch auf dem Pferd zur Arbeit?Die Orginalversion ist nur ein Stück tiefer!Das Orginal ist nen echter Burner,aber so ist eben ein tanzbarer,rundum runder Track entstanden.

  • Can u pleas just leave a classic be?

    Why brutalise such a pure timeless masterpiece and try and remix it to the monotonous techno that plagues mainstream radio...

  • horrible

  • its an artistic expression, art is subjective. if u dont like it dont listen to it. is it really necessary to bombard this video with your opinion on how terrible and disgusting it is to u. if u dont like it, really, y r u here.? sure the original version is amazing, nina is amazing. but everyone has a different opinion of what amazing is. learn some tolerance guys. this is really not so bad.

  • @greenapplelane ironic comment ... and "really not so bad" iz hardly flattering

  • @greenapplelane "if u dont like it dont listen to it" . If we don't listen to it how would we know if we like it???

  • What the hell?????? What have they done!! The real version is great but whata hell is this??

  • this is dreadful

  • Some sick techno idiot has made this crap...fuck!!!

  • why, in god's name, would someone make this, and then put it on youtube everyone to see it?!

  • shitty shit on a stick is what this is

  • this is good. But i feel like this song needs some crazy tribal drums, some madness man. and you left out the best part

    FREEDOM IS MINE

  • That's just not right.

  • Way to fuck up a good song and make it sound like worthless shit.

  • sounds awful really does nina doesnt deserve this worthless crap

  • This is very good mate . Forget what the puritans say , music is there to be played about with and re worked for new generations of fans . The mix and the vid are excellent , and I am a huge fan of the original too .

  • trite and moronic an insult to a great voice and musician ,sny sully her name with yr talentless crap

  • how a person can put a perfect quiet sunny day into a song...

    the mix is alright!

    cool

  • idk what all u are listening too but i think it sounds great. and i love the original. her voice is so powerful.

  • so let's take Nina Simone's "Feeling good"

    add some "um tss um tss" and a bit of "boom boom boom boom boom" and see if it turns out to be good.

    In a word.

    no

  • there seems to be a trend to this style. mishal moore does similar work. i am a bit of a traditionalist. but people who like the cotton eye joe remix might not care for nina's. this is evolution of music. who is to say where it will go. long live freedom of expression!

  • awesome

  • you should write a book, you can call it, "how to make an amazing songs sound mediocre"

  • agreed

  • I LOVE house music...I like music with a beat, but I have to say that this version is not the best.

    The song is powerful with Nina Simone's voice because her voice has a certain blues, soulful characteristic attached. It's as if she's full of regret about her past, but it's a new dawn, a new day, a new life...for her.

    What happened to this version is that it destroyed the soulfulness of the song. It took away the essense of the song away.

  • lord thats bad

  • Nice to see some intelligent responses to "the debate". Not meant to take anything away from Ninam, as "berkeleybenji" so eloquentlty said: it is done from love and respect...

    Why? because i can :0

  • LaravineHime, agreed... where´s the corus?? the trumpets? the sax? ruined a GREAT JAZZ song into this peace of something badly arranged...

  • The song was already great as the words are uplifting. The impressive video is wonderful for the eyes. All the detail and colour got my attention. Its amazing that this song continues to be 'borrowed' and remixed in 2008. Its an homage to Nina. Including it into the modern cultural world of music means that the recreators of this song are really listening. Thanks I love it.

  • love it .

    <3

    . X .

  • hát szerintem is elvett az értékéből a dalnak és nem adott hozzá semmit. de sokaknak bejön ez a Casio-zörej.

    miért ne. nem vagyunk egyformák. valószínűleg az előadó nem hallgatná végig. érdekes karakter volt. egy idős fekete zenész barátom évekig kongázott Ninának. (Lloyd McNeill) mesélt pár jó sztorit.

  • hey fuck those haters do your thing

  • this is to all the "haters" of this remix including, "robgoodkind," and others of similar mind. Please understand that no one does a remix of a song unless they aim to pay homage to the artist. Regardless, of whether it suits your taste, rest assured that this person who remixed it comes from a place of respect. Peace

  • i hope that a legion of people really dont start to appreciate this..i know that there are good remixes of this song, BUT this is not one of them.. in my eyes its more of an insult to the great Nina. peace

  • one of the best songs known to man, reduced to a heap of shit... give up.. please for the sake of good music

  • The sad part is you are failing to see that any sort of interpretation of a song and introduce so many to a great performer. This could lead to a whole legion of people appreciating such a prolific performer/artist by this one person's interpretation of a song. Ease up a bit and open your mind to the big picture. There have actually been a few very good remixes of this song that have kept the intergrity of this song and of Ms. Simone. Verve has done a great one. Peace.

  • .....ruined the serenity the song gave off..

    In insult to Nina

  • OMG... I respect the work of people that do this but, I'm sorry but I always hated this kind of things... and specially now!

  • WHY?

  • great mix!! I've been trying to find this track, can't find it. swell!!!

  • what an insult to Miss Simone .

  • what an abortion

  • Well Done! Its a really nice remix. I love Nina Simone!

    Keep doing it bro.!

  • i love nina simone...

  • Genuinely thought I would hate this, but i dont i love it. Well done cant stop playing it like.

  • Does anyone know where I can find a live version of Nina singing this?

  • buy one of her albums have a look on amazon or smting

  • Found this Nina Simone mix this morning and loved it. Interesting visual rhythm woven & wrapped up with the pulse of the music - without overshadowing the beautiful Nina Simone herself. The only thing it could do without is the scenes with the couple dancing together - these add an unfortunate bit of cliche feeling and detract from the emotional complexity of the rendition. Thanks. Will check out your other work.

  • Thanks... you can find my other full length mixes on myspace by adding /djaystyler to the basic myspace url.

    peace, Jay

  • cheers

  • everything that is different tends to be refutated at the beginning...

    The Verve Label itself already made 3 ALBUMS with jazz remixed and revisited...

    I play electro jazz myself...!!!

    So...go for it pal!!!

    Cheers!!

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,crap­

  • what can i say... craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaap.

  • allenbussey is absolutely right.....this video is the worst shit ive eva seen

  • I thought this was awful, worse than awful, I'd like to find a way to ban it from my computer so I don't even accidentally ever hear it again. I wanted to like it, don't get me wrong. I listened to the whole terrible thing hoping to find some redeeming value. Barf. I'm hoping this is the FIRST try of somebody VERY YOUNG.

  • I think its ok....

  • horrible !!!!!!!

  • People are saying that if you don't like it, then you are afraid of change...?? Im in my teens and i think that was just rubbish compaird with nina's!

  • this is just really bad. i like remixes and all, but you just did a terrible job.

  • this sucks ass. how to really fuck up a fine classic with a mediocre dragon...

  • YOU ROCKED this tune...Almost like Basic Channel. I should try "Phyllyps track vs. Sade's Pears" that would be smooth deep techy lovliness!

    Respect,

    Rikki X

  • I mean PEARLS by Sade

  • Delete this crap. My god.

  • Hey. I love electro..I play it...as I play jazz acoustic piano. This version sucks. The boom boom is a shit. There is nothing to be seen with the feeling of the song.BEURRRKKKKK

  • wow ! love the remix! clubs would love it .

  • I do NOT want you to tell me about a club that would play this in preference to the real thing. I do NOT want to know the DJ that would play this when they have heard the real thing. I have no respect for this dj styler guy. It took no talent whatsoever to produce this "electro" crap. Shame on anybody who encourages this plaguerism. Her name is Nina Simone. If you actually want to hear true art. Give her a listen. This guy is a bum.

  • Don't be afraid of updates my friends if it aint for you... move on. There is nothing original in the world, from art to music to the thoughts tracking thru your brain...

    peace... live... and let die.

    your interpretation of anything is just that.

    dig yourself.

  • such an enormity. don't touch these oldies!you are blasting them!

  • this version sucked the original is better

  • Get This remix download FREE for a limited time at myspace page...click my name "feedbaxlow" and search for the myspace page link or click "BUY ALBUMS" at Bottom.

    Peace, Jay

  • I loved this! I adore Nina's orginal version, but this is a great mix that does not take away from Nina's voice. The video is fab too. Great Job! Thanks for posting!

  • oops sorry, that comment was meant for the Buble guys version of Nina's song

  • OHHH  PA.. Frickin.. LEASE!!!! This guy CANT TOUCH Nina Simone's version. She sings from her soul, you can listen to her and feel her pain. This guy sings like hes trying to be on a James Bond soundtrack.

  • No puedo creer lo que han hecho con esta hermosa cancion..!!! pero que necesidad??

  • mamma mia, es horrible lo que han hecho con nina! mi puntuacion es un 0

  • Don't listen to the haters. Loved it!

  • It appears there is something "racial" injected into their little tribe of comments that happened all within a short time of each in an otherwise almost unanimous appreciation...i mean look at the numbers, at this point over 31,000 veiws so envy might also play into it too. Some people not want things to change when it comes to classics, others live for movement and change. Peace, J

  • Keep it up, man, if this is yours. It gets inside my head - I love it :) Listened to it at least 10 times in the last couple days. Thanks for posting it :)

  • it sucks!

  • Holy hell this sucked

  • This is terrible

  • messed up man

  • woooooooow I like it

    very good

    congratulations 4 the greatest mix

    hehehe

    bye

    ps: i want this music with this mix
