Justin remixed., February 15, 2003
This review is from: Cry Me a River 1 (Audio CD)
This is the 2nd single from the now solo Justin Timberlake and it is quite good. The main reason I bought this and the 2nd part of this single are for the remixes. The cd comes with 2 full length remixes that are really well done. The first track is the original Timbaland production (4:50) that remains the best version here. Then you get the Dirty Vegas Vocal Mix(7:45) that is similar to their own song and their remix of Madonna's "Die Another Day". Then you get the Bill Hamel Vocal Remix(6:48) . This mix is the best mix because it is very trancy yet underground for the hardest of DJs. Excellent...

Worth the money, August 21, 2003
This review is from: Cry Me a River 1 (Audio CD)
This is a great song from Timbaland and JT. The beat is amazing with a tough edge to it. You can "feel" this song. The live performances are amazing, but the single vocals are perfect.
Buy it.

Bill Hamel Vocal Remix is the best mix in the house!, March 14, 2003
This review is from: Cry Me a River 1 (Audio CD)
This song, in it's original incarnation is fine. It's a hip-hop meets pop type of mixture that makes for some fun sing-a-long action.
The best version, topping the original and all the remixes I have heard; however, is the Bill Hamel Vocal. Another reviewer puts it as "Trancey", I thought about that term but did not really think that fit, but it is somewhat a good description. The mix starts out with a nice flowing keyboard that is, well trancey in a way. It seems to have more of a R&B type quality to it. Anyway, the mix builds quickly to go get to the vocal and then all turbo-boosters kick in an you go rocketing forth like the Japanese Bullet Train but with a rough and tumble back beat as opposed to a euro beat or a plain dance beat.
The soundscape of this mix suits the vocal and the attitude of this song perfectly, adding an errie and dark feel to the mix. At just over 6 and a half minutes, this mix does not bore me with a drawn out intro or repetitious parts that can be prevailent in club mixes.
