4.0 out of 5 stars Great song, repetitive remixes, August 9, 2004

I love the original melody and lyrics on the song Jumpin', Jumpin', but most of the remixes on this disc tend to sound alike after a minute or 10. However, a great reason to buy this single is the live rendition of Upside Down, which goes on just a tad too long, but is nevertheless excellent.

This review is from: Jumpin Jumpin / Upside Down (Audio CD)

Destiny's Child's 'Independant Woman" became so overplayed that it began to irritate me (probably having to do with it being a movie theme) but between this and 'Bootylisious' Destiny's Child made their mark.Now this song is VERY vocal;the

entire production revolves around Kelly,Beyonce' and the crew

raddling off the several thousand choruses that seem to be here

at lightening-fast speed.Even though that sometimes make the

lyrics virtually unintelligable,along with more vocal overdubs,

the song isn't confusing.What most impresses me is how this

trio's producers cleverly chose to integrate prominant

Middle Eastern and even slight Indian-style melodies and modalities into the music's melodic structure without the public

even realizing it.Many of Destiny's Child's other hits also

incorperated the same idea but this unique arrangement and oddly

jerky rhythm made this song innovative in it's time.Has it been

done to death since?Mabye,but nobody has done it better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, October 31, 2000

This review is from: Jumpin Jumpin / Upside Down (Audio CD)

I admit, the first time I heard this song, I was SO bored by it. "Say my name" had come out, and I had enough of them to know their music style. 'Jumpin Jumpin' gave me an instant headache. Thats until I heard it on CD and not on the radio.

I've got to hand it to Destiny's Child. Their production values are the best in the industry. As for their voices, well, they tend to get screechy, but when theyre good, they are excellent and totally in-sync. 'Jumpin' is a song that grows on you, and this CD single is definitely worth buying because it contains so many remixes, though I do prefer the original version to any of the remixes. I recently saw the group at Guavaween in Ybor City, and they were rather dull on stage, though they did try. And guess which song they performed the best? This one! This is an exceptional hip-hop-pop recording, and a must-have for any Destiny lover. Highly recommended.
