What do you think of the new mix of Misunderstood????

I personally don't like the mix they use in the video; the vocals are way down and the sund drowns out a lot of the singing (which I felt was the strongest point of the song--Jon wailing "I-I-I-I-I....").

I definitely think that the album version is 10 times better, it sounds more organic and the acoustic feel definitely suits the song--the new mix is way over-produced

I think that's the problem with these colaborations....it means that there's more people to please with the final product that the final take lacks the vision and direction that gives it an identity---more-or-less, it's a schitzophrenic mix (influenced by multiple personalities).


Just my opinion, let me know what you think.

Well, it is too soon to judge for me. If, however, you are judging the version from the bonjovi.com website, all of the songs in the video section sound like that (meaning vocals down). It is just the audio from the video. I was listening to "Lie To Me" and I noticed that. So, on "Misunderstood" it is like that to. I wouldn't think the real CD quality version would be like that, but I haven't heard it, so I can't make the judgement. I do think this mix seems to be okay because it isn't THAT different, just a little longer. I didn't like the "One Wild Night 2001" mix AT ALL, it is my least favorite Bon Jovi song ever...and the thing is, I LOVE the original "One Wild Night" because it rocked, the remix sounded too poppy compared the rocked out version. On Misunderstood, I do think it sounds really cool on the CD version though, when it just starts out with "Should I, Could I," as opposed to the acoustic intro on the new version. Otherwise, I am okay with it. I like "Misunderstood" a lot, and people who haven't been Bon Jovi fans who have listened to Bounce with me all like it a lot too, so who knows, maybe it will boost Bounce up the charts a bit. I just hope it gets that ever-so-important AIRPLAY. We need to start voting the hell out of it on VH1, even before the video comes out here in the US.
