Y&B Remix. Another big hit for Lana and Cedric?

[Manueldelrey]

Cedric Gervais revealed the Young And Beautiful Remix will be released as a single in the winter, and his Remix of Summertime Sadness has proven to be a big sleeper hit.

 

Do you think Y&B can be as big as SS? Or people will not notice it? I think it can chart good, not as good as SS but it will add more sales

 

Summertime Sadness jumped to 6 this week on the Hot 100 and has officially gone Platinum and Young And Beautiful sales are at 788.000 (It has been rising because of SS i think)

hope not, the remix is even worse than the song

I think Y&B can chart well in US. I don't see it charting like SS tho since I don't see a big international appeal for the song. They should've released while the movie was still fresh. Anyway agree with @BabyVAlex. ungrateful bitchs she is charting so well who cares if basic people like more the remix?. Let them have cake while we have the original. Everyone wins that way.

This. I remember it was around #20 when the movie was released. It was the best promo for the song. I dont really know why they didnt send it to radios. Now they will release it again with some shit remix. They act like ballads cant chart well.

[Manueldelrey]

If the remix doesn't affect Lana's chance of getting a Oscar/Golden Globe nomination then anything is okay with me, she has a LOT of buzz for a nomination and maybe the remix can do bad for it? Hope not.

 

Maybe with the Remix release Y&B sales (original song) will go up as well because SS (album version) has been selling pretty good too! I just don't want more remix, let Lana try to chart with her original work.

[FrozenKookie]

As long as she'll be known by her original music someday (hopefully, in terms of being chart-wise) without the help of remixing or EDM-makeover and shit, that's just fine with me.

[Kittren]

These songs does not need a remix version. The original is always the best.

[sweetlana]

omg why is almost everyone so negative about the ss remix,

what's wrong with it serious??!

[elllipsis]

Just out of curiosity, do the guys who make these remixes have to ask for Lana's permission to use her song, or just the label's, or neither?

 

I wonder how Lana feels about the fact that the watered-down, oonts oonts oonts versions of her songs are way more popular and successful than the original ones...

I don't think Lana has anything to say in this... it's most likely her managers, I'd say. It all depends on how/if you want to commercialize it (copyrights $$) and if it's far different from the original. But he has a contract with Interscope now, sooooo don't worry about this and be ready to eat some Gervais girl.

 

Didn't she said a few words about it in that Radio.com interview? I don't really remember.

[Trash Magic]

the SS remix sucks imo, I really couldn't care about charting positions of singles and im sure Lana doesn't either. 

[YouMakeMeWild]

Leave Lana's music alone Cedric  

[NamiraWilhelm]

It's not my bag, but if it helps Lana I hope it'll do well.

SS remix wasn't thaaat bad. It gave her a lot of attention so that's cool.

The Y&B remix is just terrible though. Like waaaaaaaaay worse than SS.

It would be nice if she was recognized for her originals, not some generic remix.
