agreed... the Roxette hit that never was...

I think they should release “Crush On You 2002” as the first single from the up-tempo complilation album. It would be kinda like the version they played on tour: fast, catchy, guitar oriented... would definitely kick all asses worldwide.
But why dreaming... it won’t be released. Cause that’d be a good decision.

my words - i would love to hear a “clean” version of this version, how COY sounded live (btw: is this an english sentences???)
however - COY should have been the first single out of HAND and it should be the fist single out of “UPTEMPO”.
good night (uahhh, 2morrow i have to do my a level in french)
au revoir, mesdames et messieurs!

let’s write a petition to Per... sometimes he is just perfect at neglecting real pearls like this song... God, a great live version of COY would be such a nice opening single, you are so right!!! :)

Don’t forget... There are remixes of ’Crush on You’ by ’Almighty’, who also produced the excellent remixes for ’Stars’. Sadly, they have yet to be released.

I have a video interview that was shot after releasing HAND, in which Per says: “The next single’s gonna be Crush On You - and get ready because there will be plenty of great remixes coming” (Of course, he was using slightly other words, I didn’t memorise the interview.)

haha... he must have been drunk promising it! the sweetest lie though, I must say :)

“Crush On You live 2002” sounds great! Like someone said; it would be a grat first single to “Uptempo”!
steven said on May 21, 2002 19:19:
Crush on You - Remixed DOES exist cause I have received confirmation from ’Almighty’ (who remixed it). They say the decision to release it lies strickly with EMI Sweden.

I would like to forget that horrible album called “Have a nice day (Have a bad taste)”
Why not a 100% Roxette up tempo NEW song as the first single for the next Album?
Markuz said on May 22, 2002 02:07:
COY is the third worst Roxette song after Stars and MMHGP.
Thank God it was never released as a single... We had our fair share of crappy singles from that horrible album.
pietROxette said on May 22, 2002 06:46:
Actually Per wasn’t drunk that time. Crush On You was indeed planned to be the second single to be released from HAND. However, EMI UK figured out that Anyone would be a better choice. So they released that one instead. We all know the result.
Say thank you to EMI!
steven said on May 22, 2002 17:40:
Actually... EMI UK decided at the last minute not to release Anyone afterall in the UK... So everyone lost out :(

Please let them remix Crush on you like the live preformance and release it as a single!
coyboyusa said on May 22, 2002 21:49:
to all who think hand sucked got to hell it outsold that wonder we call room service
roxchurch said on May 23, 2002 20:28:
yes- COY will be the great single!!
and this is not only my opinion, or fans opinion–when my colleges heard COY they coudn’t believe that it’s a Rox song, and they like it a lot!!!
about HAND- my brother, who is not big fan of Rox ,but he is a crazy fan of Waiting for the rain...
roxchurch said on May 23, 2002 21:04:
right now on VH-1
“Happy”-Lighthouse family- uptempo song
Why they can do this,but rox can’t??
Markuz said on May 24, 2002 01:31:
@ coyboyusa: So what? Crash!Boom!Bang outsold that wonder you call HAND...
Vixzter said on May 24, 2002 16:37:
I don’t think they’re going to release anything. It’s all a big wind up to get you all thinking.
coyboyusa said on May 25, 2002 20:49:
crash was a rock album hand wasnt..i like hand because it was them still being agressive..it was a great album that took them in a slightyl new direction..sorry to say but alot of you are like old aerosmith fans who flipped out when they did dont wanna miss a thing and thus didn’t buy just push play..get over it music evolves..oh and crash was a a world wide promoted release hand sadsyl wasnt promoted and had no usa release ..over a million copies of CBB sold int he us so there and there
Mfan28179-Jason said on May 26, 2002 04:30:
LOL. It’s all a matter of opinion on which album is better. It’s not a fact that one album is better than the other.
Personally, I think HAND is a better album - my favorite album in fact. I loved the new direction.
erweetiran said on May 27, 2002 17:51:
WHAT DOES CBB HAVE TO DO WITH HAND? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COY NOW NOT ANY CBB SONGS!
COY WILL ROCK
Mfan28179-Jason said on May 28, 2002 05:02:
LOL. It doesn’t matter. Somehow HAND and how it sucks seems to come up in several irrelevant topics.
Vixzter said on May 28, 2002 05:36:
Crush On You....fantastic song......but why release something that we all know they should’ve released in ’99.
How about the new version of Stupid being released instead.
Oh god.....now I’ve gone into that dream world!
coyboyusa said on May 29, 2002 22:26:
i am not arguing the success of cbb ...but cbb had more promotion and support..hand would have matched or eclipsed the salse of cbb given the correct backing everyone here in the states i play it for bought copies ..cbb sold only a million copies here cuase again emi died
Vixzter said on May 30, 2002 06:57:
HAND was messed up with poor single choices.
Anyone should not have follwed WICF, we all know COY should’ve been released next but it wasn’t so lets get over it and get on with life! ;)
NancyBoy said on May 16, 2002 20:06:
To continue on the why not a single topics:
Almost all of us agree that COY should heve been a single.
I think one of the compilation albums will feature the Live version of COY, so the still can release it as a single, which could contain the Live version, the album version and the Almighty Remix.
What do you think?
