I hated this song at first, but I think it grow on me, after a bit, so the trick with this song, is to really listen lto the lyrics, cos the message it's great, I don't know about the mixes they tend to ruin great ballads, only a few mixed ballad are saved and have become great anthems like Un-break My Heart by Miss Braxton, but I guess The Trouble with the mixes are that they sound like cheap dance music, ok. But The song is great the original that is...


Two remixes - one totally excellent, the other plain awful!   February 22, 2004

Being really impressed by the work Shanghai Surprise and Mauve did with their remixes of "Miss Independent", I was happy to learn that Kelly would get remixes of her new single "The Trouble With Love Is" too. I checked out the original and was surprised to hear a very gospel like song and didn't really know how it could be converted into a dance tune. But then Mauve came along once again and made a stunning remix that stays very close to the original, yet keeps a steady and housey beat. An awesome remix, although the chorus lines are slightly offbeat sometimes. Another remix that is only released on 12" vinyl is the Bermudez & Bertoldo Delinquent Cupid Mix which is total class as well, extremely catchy! This is the remix she's performing on her 2004 Independent Tour with Clay Aiken. The Bimbo Jones Mix however is the most tragic thing I've ever heard from them, they didn't really give me anything with this remix. Too boring and monotone, just a lot of beats and Kelly's vocals being cut up and totally destroyed, just simply awful. And why on earth put on a dub on the single? It sure ain't better than the vocal mix, they're both horrible. 4 stars from me, it would've gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the utter pointless noise that is the Bimbo Jones Dub. Ignore their attempt at a remix and groove along to the awesome Mave Classic Mix!

THe beats in the background were monotonous. What she needed was an extended mix with a Gospel twinge. I know I heard a great version on the radio. This was not it.
