    I don't mind covers if they are done well (which is, like, 5% of cases, tbh), but most of them just end up being a showcase of a dude's/dudette's pipes and that just makes Lana's songs sound really generic (this may be just my bias against oversinging speaking). Or worse, they might actually try and fail to sound like Lana. Lana's songs are just really hard to cover successfully.
     
    I don't mind remixes as long as they stay in night clubs and beach parties, where they belong, but radio release of SS remix really annoys me. It's a really bad marketing move, imo, since many GP people who liked Y&B may now throw accusations of selling out (again) or radio play thirst, or whatever and most GP people who like the remix will just not be interested in her actual music, so it's a no-win situation. Doesn't help that they chose the most basic remix they could find. They could have just used that German radio mix, since it's awesome, more radio friendly, actually has a character and isn't a big leap from Lana's actual sound. Or, you know, the album version, but I guess that's too much to ask.

    99.99999% of remixes are useless to me and I have covers. I feel the exact same way you do about Lana with Judy Garland. Everytime I hear someone sing Over The Rainbow I want to knock them out.

    I'm on the fence of standing front row, I've dealt with people actually starting fights and people being carried out (not on my end of course )
    I can understand where security is coming from and understand why Fans react so vicious, I guess if you can handle/back yourself up in a pit of people than It's all worth it.

    I love both remixes and covers. The problem is quality it's hard to find decent ones even more hard to find great ones. Rarely a cover is better than the original and rarely a artist does a great personal version of a well known song.  I think remixes are great too. The only way to hear any BTD song in a bar, party or club is with a good remix. If it's good I will sing and dance to it
