Nice rendition of a classic.
Not better than the original but its breathes new life and it's better than the 2009 dance remixes that came out back in May.

Stupid song. Really goes to show if Shannon remixed her track it wouldnt ever be considered. BUT get some manufactured singer that a label is backing and it will get played.
I've said this and will say it again that if a rap artist does a freestyle track it will get played but the original singer wont get any respect.

Every day! Little by little we lose our music to main stream Artists and we do nothing about it.

It's ok. The pop artists can't do it quite the way the freestyle artists can.

And I really would prefer that anyone associated with American Idol stay away from our music (if it's even our's anymore).
BTW--this is a demo that was leaked, not Jordan singing.
Nobody "owns" music.
Blacks don't own R&B.
Hispanics don't own Freestyle.
This is the big mistake people make about Freestyle. Dance music has always been about short-lived sub-genres that live for 5-10 years. Freestyle is the same as house, hi-NRG, and disco. You don't see people clamouring for the return to disco, forums dedicated to hi-NRG, etc. For some reason, I only see this attitude with Freestyle music.
I think people see Freestyle as having an ethnic ownership (Urban US Hispanics) and see Freestyle = brand new genre, like hip hop/rap was. I think that's the big problem, and that was the core argument I saw K7 discussing. Most people who are dance fans are dance fans and love the sub-generes, but most have moved on in style. (And Dance music today is kind of in trouble, at least when it comes to radio play).
Like it or not Freestyle is cemented in the latin-tinged styles popularized in the late 1980s. When the term is used, it's not meant to be a "viable genre", it's meant to celebrate the oldies--being labeled a Freestyle artist means you're an oldies act. That's the appeal of the shows.
What needs to happen is people need to make a choice. Freestyle is a term that should be used to celebrate that past music, but I don't see it as a viable existing genre. If you don't like today's music, than just be content with the oldies, but don't be bitter that music has changed.
However, if you like the stuff that is coming out now, look for something that has elements of Freestyle but combines it with other things, similar to house music in the early 90s brought in elements of disco. Then embrace that as the future (for however long that lasts). And the cycle will continue with the next generation...
