It was always a lightweight song ! No mixing in the world would make it any better.[/QUOTE]

Thank you for saying that. People seem to forget.[/QUOTE]

If there hadn't been the original Freddie solo and crappy demo, what would you think of it?

Never thought i'd say this, but based on the iTunes sample, the drum sound makes the original drum sound on Mr Bad Guy sound brilliant! It's horrific, and I'm very doubtful it's actually Roger playing, but it actually a programmed part by Mr Orbit.

No, it's Roger alright. Unfortunately filtered and gated heavily by Planet Orbit

Oh right - It'll be interesting to hear the full track in lossless; the sample sounds absolutely atrocious. I can't beli be that Brian, Roger and Jim have conceded to include a mix that they have publicly declared that they are unhappy with, rather than stand their ground and not use the track.

I can believe it quite easily.

That would require them to admit making a bad decision to begin with, and actually do do some work on their own song (gasp!) instead of just laughing all the way to the back.

Not quite sure what you mean - they've done lots of work on all three new songs, including their mix of More to Life that wasn't used in the end.

Well maybe in their mix MJ sounds bad?

So... They've done lots of great work on these song, and still let a big fat turd slip through the crack(s).

And instead of using their own (better) work, they use somebody else's remix. It doesn't sound that plausible to me.

They've been building up to Freddie + Michael songs for a very long time now. It seems like it's gotten to a point where this mix of this particular song is the only thing Jackson's estate are willing to have released. They'd probably rather give the expectant audiences something, even if it's subpar, than give nothing at all after a few years of hype.

And that makes it all seem better for the customers?

"We HAVE to release the version which neither we or our listeners want, because without it we couldn't sell the pointless compilation."

Who knows the Jackson clan may release there own versions of these songs with better promo-video as Brian and Roger's ideas seem completely unable to get past picture slide shows for most of the stuff they put out, unsure about anyone else but there are many on YouTube who make better videos matching vocals to many different Queen concert footage which must take them ages.
