In a world where CD sales are dying, and the term "single" is now typically used as a term for something downloaded off iTunes, it's nice to know that Lady Gaga still releases her singles in CD Maxi Single form, as well as both 7" and 12" Vinyl singles.

Anyway, this is her best Maxi Single yet. I do wish the album version and instrumental where included like on her previous maxi singles. But, I guess its worth that being replaced with 7 remixes rather the the other singles, which only had three mixes (5 on "Paparazzi").

My personal favorite remix is the Skrillex Remix, but I really like them all. They each give an already unique song a totally different and unique sound. I am very pleased with my purchase. Buy one and support the one artist who won't let the declining music industry stop her from releasing music her way!

EDIT: It seems the have added the import CD single as the cover on amazon, when the real cover of this single is a black and white shot from the music video.

Props to Lady Gaga for making singles worth purchasing again. She's released quite a few, all with several remixes each. Kind of takes me back to the mid-90s, when this was much more common.

I love this song, and these remixes are good. And including 7 of them is quite generous. Also, unlike the album, this single is not censored.

Here are the official track listings for the physical CD
that is due out on 1/12/10.

Unfortunately 3 of the 7 mixes are
radio remix edits.

01) CHEW FU H1N1 FIX (7:14)
02) KASKADE EDIT (4:21)
03) BIMBO JONES EDIT (3:59) Note: Of all the mixes to have an edit WHY a short mix of one of the best mixes by BIMBO JONES?!??

04) SKRILLEZ EDIT (4:23)
05) GRUM REMIX (4:53)
06) RICHARD VISSION REMIX (5:24)
07) HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR REMIX (5:11)

-----One final thought: After all the deaths of children and adults from H1N1
I think it is in really poor taste to name a mix after the virus.

As is my opinion with most remixes, I believe that "Bad Romance" does not need to be tampered with as a piece of musical "art". However, these remixes are generally decent as far as remixes go!!

That something is the instrumental and album versions!!! Though 7 remixes is a gift from the Gaga Gods, I really like listening to her instrumentals. Other than that, this is a great collection of remixes any Gaga fan should own.

I have enjoyed all the music Lady Gaga puts out. I just got her "Bad Romance - The Remixes" and I cannot stop playing the cd. I have a difficult time understanding her videos but I don't care...her music is wonderful.

This woman has changed the whole aspect of music as we know it.
GaGa can play, read & write music, write songs, produce other peoples albums,
stunning concepts in video, clothing, The Lady is going to be around for a very long time.

She did it again, one could say. Another hit from Lady G. The US package is a nice offer to all people who are not the biggest fans of her and like only some of her songs.
The best cuts are: "chew fu fix" (but, as someone wrote before, it's not the best idea to name a mix after dead disease!), "bimbo jones", "grum remix" (nice, 80' feeling).

The "Vission remix" reminds me slightly of "Fade to grey" Visage.

There is one disadv. of this maxi single and this is lack of album version.

Overall, good piece of music.

The original track never needed a remix but these are great as individual pieces of art. I like the long, fleshy one best. This gal is headed for great things and I'm going to be there for the ride!!

Add to your collection! I admit, I'm old-school and want the actual disc(or vinyl)to have...SO...I bought, I downloaded into my Zune and I have the better of both old- and new-school!
