Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This Is the Remix shows just why Destiny's Child is such a powerhouse: they have wicked songs that can survive almost any treatment. Not that the selections, culled from the group's three preceding albums, are mishandled here. The Neptunes aren't quite at the top of their game on "Emotion," but Timbaland's sexy remix of "Say My Name" is one of the best things he's done--and that's saying a lot. Despite too many rap interludes, the CD ends on a high note with feverish Maurice Joshua mixes of "Jumpin', Jumpin'," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "So Good" that are simply fantastic dance-floor burners. The one misstep is the tucked-away "Heard a Word," a track from Michelle Williams's solo album. Still, this is state-of-the-art mainstream R&B designed to tide fans over until the triumvirate goes back to the studio together. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is The Remix!!!, March 14, 2002

By	BRIAN (Holtwood, Pa 17532) - See all my reviews

THIS IS THE REMIX, is one of the best DC3 cds out. This has a variety of remixed songs that have been released and unreleased. Such songs already released were Say My Name(Timbaland Remix), Jumpin Jumpin(Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Lil Bow Wow and then goes into Azza's remix), IWPT2 was released on their album Survivor, Survivor(Remix ft.Da Brat)Emotion(Neptunes Remix),Bootylicious(Rockwilder Remix) and Bug A Boo(Refugee Camp Remix). As far as I know, No No No Pt.2(Extended Version),Dot(The E-Poppi Remix), Nasty Girl(Azza's Nu Soul Mix), Bills Bills Bills(Maurice's Xclusive Livegig Mix) and So Good(Maurice's Soul Remix) weren't commercialey released. This cd is great because why buy all the remixes on different cds when you can just buy this one cd so you can listen to them all on one cd. The highlight has to be the bonus track: Heard A Word by Michelle Williams from her solo album(To be released in April) My Heart To Yours. All in all, this cd is the best remix album out currently.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad!!, March 29, 2002

By	nm "nlm02205" (USA) - See all my reviews

Usually, I like the original songs better than remixes, but I had to get this album because DC3 is one of my favorite groups. The best remixes to me are Bootylicious, No No No part 2, and Dot. My other favorite song was Heard A Word by Michelle.

1.No No No part 2--same as album-released remix, only extended music breaks. 4/5

2.Emotions--redone vocals that are not as smooth as original, new, upbeat music (Neptunes); similiar to the style of the Christmas album. 2/5

3.Bootylicious--my favorite! same remix they released f/Missy. 5/5

4.Say My Name--totally different sound and lyrics; nice soul groove; sounds good. 4/5

5.Bug A Boo--old and new lyrics incorporated; same released remix version w/Wyclef. 3/5

6.Dot--this is a remix of the other song they did for charlie's angels; i never heard the original, but this sounds good. 5/5

7.Survivor--same as released remix w/da brat; sounds like original. 4/5

8.Independent women part 2--same as the remix on the survivor album. 4/5

9.Nasty Girl--same vocals, cool new beat. 4/5

10.Jumpin Jumpin--at first it's the same as remix already released (w/Lil Bow Wow, Da Brat, JD), but at the end is a new, slower version. 3/5

11.Bills, Bills, Bills--same vocals, beat at first sounds similiar to Whitney's "It's Not Right, But It's OK remix." 3/5

12.So Good--slower than original, new mix. 3/5

Bonus: Heard a Word by Michelle--I don't really care for her voice, but this is one of the best songs on the album; it will be on her album coming in April. 4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars You have the right to get your party on!, March 16, 2002

By	Donna Pieters (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This latest offering from DC is hot! Forget their recent album 'Survivor' which was okay, but contained a few half baked songs and album fillers that shouldn't be there, this is the real stuff, that Beyonce, Michelle, Kelly (and all the ex members too) should be proud of.
1.No, No, No (Part 2):The album starts of with this hip hop tune from Wyclef that sounds perfectly in place. 5/5

2.Emotion (Neptunes Remix): A good remix with a bit of hip hop, a bit of gospel, and a bit of Neptune trademark, a bit shabby in places, but otherwise fine.4/5

3.Bootylicious (Rockwilder Remix):You must have heard this on the radio, this is less clubby than the original, but has a better urban tune, oh yeah, and don't forget Missy Elliot! 5/5

4.Say My Name (Timbaland Remix):A slow jam with typical Timmy beats on it. The words change, however the song is just as good, if not ,better.5/5

5.Bug A Boo (Refugee Camp Remix Feat. Wyclef):A bit too ghetto-ish and too many things going on, but if you like that sort of thing, fine.3/5

6.Dot (E-Poppi Remix):A lot of strings & beats in the background, but good.4/5

7.Survivor (Remix Featuring Da Brat Extended Version): This is where the music really starts getting hot. Brat turns an okay song in to an alive anthem, with a wicked rap.5/5

8.Independent Women Part II :Taken straight off the Survivor album, this tune fits in perfectly with the rest, although it sounds different, and contains a 'Rocky & Bullwinkle' sample.4.5/5

9.Nasty Girl (Azza's Nu Soul Mix):This song is cool, and Azza's beats turn this into a slick, sly tune. Put some clothes on!5/5

10.Jumpin' Jumpin' (Remix Extended Featuring JD, Lil' Bow Wow and Da Brat)This is not really a remix, but the same tune with alternate (and better) lyrics provided by the So So Def Crew. To top that, just as you think it's gonna finish, it breaks into the Maurice Joshua remix of Jumpin' Jumpin' which I think is personally one of his best.5+/5

11.Bills, Bills, Bills (Maurice's Livegig Mix) This is a cool remix of Bills Bills Bills with a club beat, and sounds a bit like Thunderpuss if you listen closely.5/5

12.So Good (Maurice's Soul Remix) You've heard the original, now hear this. It starts different, kind of like the scene of a party with everyone talking and joking, and then breaks into the typical Maurice disco beat we are all used to. Good, but a bit overworked.4/5

Bonus Track :Hear A Word by Michelle Williams. It is 'So Good' (excuse the pun) to see how well one of them could sing on their own solo track, and this just prooves they can sing. This gospel song is a refreshing break from the normal DC 'in your face' songstyle, and frankly, after this Michelle's solo album (coming soon) is going to be great.5/5

Overall worth the money, especially if you wanna dance. Unlike J-Lo's remix album which is a bit stop & go, this is consistently good. Worth the purchase.
