You miss the point. When the song got relased it was MARKETED on the actual remix not the original song. Everytime the video came on TV it was A&B's remix that was played. Again if thats too commerical for you then so be it. Point is Madonna recognised A&B had made a poor song of hers far better

Right... your point is, what? The track would still be popular WHOEVER remixed it, or didn't remix it, or produced it, or whatever you like. It was by Madonna. It would have been a big hit ************. That they chose to use that mix is pretty much irrelevant.
And again, who said anything about commerciality? STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

This thread is the first time I've even heard of the damn mix, so it can't be THAT special.
seriously? it made quite a buzz a few years when it was revealed that Madonna personally chose Above & Beyond to do video version of What it feels like for a girl. Later in an interview A&B said that the best thing with doing the remix was not the fact that they were asked but to have her vocals on the original DAT specially done for them.
Hang on... if it's the standard video mix, I have heard it (on MTV, natch). Can't say I rated it. But really, I've never heard it when "trance classic" threads are thrown around.

haha it's not a classic. and i doubt it will become one even in 5 years. but still it's one of the better productions the guys done.

Why is everyone bad-mothing the Madonna A&B remix? I tend to ignore the vocals and just listen to whats around them.

if you think A & B is cheese, then you better listening to Johan Gielen, Dave 202 & Phil Green, Ron van den Beuken etc., they are making quality non-cheese uplifting trance music recently.
good luck man

I wasn't bad-mouthing it: I only heard it on the music video through TV speakers at normal TV volume, so I can't especially judge, but it didn't leap out at me as anything other than a vaguely trancey Madonna track, rather than some sort of quantum leap like certain people are hinting towards.
