@shine: thanks for the link!

Oh my God... how can they do this to LTYH ??? :(
I can’t stand it !!!

snape said on :

Me neither! I don’t like this cover. Maybe just because, I don’t like dance-music.

no scent of magic of the beauty that’s been. miss you marie.

steven said on :

Works for me.

Roxette-atic said on :

God, I miss the real thing...

onlywhenidream said on :

well - you never know - if this does well it could pave the way for another re-release! LOL

*rolls eyes*

Should I have heard about DHT?
Who’s that??

sommartiderhejhej said on :

Get lost with those stupid dance-covers.
I want the original, that’s 1000 times better.

Mari said on :

Horrible!

rox-kuryliw said on :

OMG iv just heard it , roxette could do a well better remix and release that !! !! !!

PS the vocals suck huge time.

Nox1983 said on :

i was going to download it, but after reading you all...

PiR_GeSSLe said on :

Hey! I kinda like it ... sounds good to me!!!

seba said on :

The “Edmees Unplugged vocal” version Of DTH sound nice to me!.

eBay said on :

I havent listenened to it but I doubt it will be a hit in the US, as it is dance...

RobS said on :

Just listened to them snippets, not really impressed. Don’t really like the vocals, as others have mentioned. The only thing that makes it good, is the classic piano tune!

nicci_The-Look said on :

I think it’s cool
You have to take it for what it is
When your big people want to do covers But the real is better ofcourse nothing is like Roxette

AddeColciago said on :

It was kind a good.. But original is better..

plectrum said on :

not into dance music,never have been & never will be & i’m not a lover of dance covers but it can’t be that bad,i mean at least roxette will be getting some sort of recognition & who knows!maybe it could start a roxette revival.

Zargo said on :

*shrugs* what do you expect from a dance remix?
good enough for what it is...

chrisjankunas said on :

I agree with Seba. Edmees Unplugged vocal NOT ON THE CD is really good. It is more of a ballad then Roxette’s ! Tho I prefer the toughness and bitterness of Marie !

brunorox said on :

Hi Everybody,

Oh punaise, my god !!!

Let’s say, it’s a pitty to “destroy” such a good song to make it a “dance hit”. But in the other hand, I got to say t is surprising that a ballad can be remixed as a dance hit.

the original one sounds much better. Roxette can be proud that this band use this Roxette song and give it an other dimension. In my opinion, this is just a question of taste. You like it or you dislike it, it’s like that.

brunorox said on :

I’ve got to add that for some nostalgic people, it’s a good “souvenir” and it’s a way to younger people to discover Roxette. It would be sad Roxette to be forgotten by “the young generation”.

AURYTE said on :

Are those MP3’s for free?

martin_nl said on :

Yep they’re for free, but they’re only snippets of a minute or so.

I think the remixes are pretty cool. Just imagine a big dance arena, thousands of ravers and this song... Bruno, you are right!!

martin_nl said on :

BTW you can even buy the cd-single on amazon.com for only 7 USD.

tender4u20 said on :

I think it’s cool that great songs like “listen to your heart” get remixed and covered, but I hope the DHT give credit for it to Roxette and mention where it came from.I think we all believe that that is the fir thing to do, after all, covering and remixing is supposed to be a kind of a tribute to th band that originally scored with the song.I can’t wait to listen to it, i hope it’s good and not another poor cover.

Roxette-atic said on :

In my opinion; it IS another poor cover..

crashroxer said on :

WOW!

Sounds good! It’s the first cover wich I like... (-:

ally77 said on :

It’s not that bad!

aaservice73 said on :

I know it’s off this subject(i’m new here) can anyone of you tell me if Roxette ever released “Crush On You” as a single and where I might be able to find it? I found “Wish I Could Fly” single and “Anyone” unfortunately at a used CD/DVD store but it was a treasure for me! Again, can anyone help me out on this or any other singles like the “rock” version of “Stars”? etc...

aaservice73 said on :

or singles like “Happy Together” etc...whatelse is out there from Roxette thats been a b-side single or extra?

AURYTE said on :

@aaservice73 no, the single Crush On You was never released. Check out “Discussions” section about this! And about b-sides. Well, The Pop Hits & The Ballad Hits were released with CDs with b-sides.

erweetiran said on :

Even if this song become no 1 all over the world the younger generation would still not know who Roxette is

Ask any youngster who was crazy about DJ Sammy’s “Heaven” who Bryan Adams is.

They don’t know

robmc said on :

Highly fragmented. No smooth transitions or flow. Repetitive. The portions of “Listen To Your Heart” that they did manage to wedge inbetween their dance cliches feel secondary. I think i’ll pass.

Lucy_GT said on :

CRAP! Complete & utter CRAP!
More proof that talentless groups have to use other people’s songs to get into the charts. What on Earth were they thinking?? If i was Per i’d be crying at how my song had been totally ruined.

Sorry D.H.T but it was a BIG mistake.

AURYTE said on :

For me those mixes sound quite OK.

Santi said on :

The unplugged version in the video is very good!! Actually the beach in the video looks familiar to me as well. :D

Cerchio said on :

I haven’t heard this song on radio or TV at all yet. Has anyone else? Doesn’t look like it’s gonna be a hit. That’s a shame because I wanted this dance version to do for Roxette what a dance version did for Bryan Adams with “Heaven”.

drdave said on :

D.H.T’s version of Listen To Your Heart is number 9 on the US Billboard Dance Radio Airplay charts this week, which I don’t think is that bad an effort.

andresroxette said on :

I am a kid discapacitado and each time I sit me wrong I listen toRoxette and give me desire of living, owner to Marie, owner to Roxette, and prayer all the given so that God care much to Marie, I want you Marie Fredickson, please escribeme..!

i love mucho

dragonseeker002 said on :
