STANDING NEXT TO YOU (Usher Remix) REACTION

Listen to it first if you haven't yet:

OK, I really don't want to be a blog that just crashed on everything JK releases, but I do just have one tiny point to share about this Remix. Overall, I don't hate it or live it; it's just very benign in the context of remixes we've gotten this year and I still don't care for SNTY at all but not enough to hate it.

This Remix highlighted something for me that I only had hints of with the JT 3D Remix. Obviously a LOT of GOLDEN album was an homage to Michael Jackson and I honestly believe that Usher is the closest they could get to a current artist that most embodies that style...so cue the Remix. Just like we had JT on 3D which was a song CLEARLY in his style.

The thing is, when they incorporate the artist that was the inspiration of an homage...it feels just wrong to me. A little like when you have to explain the punchline to a joke. Like we GOT it, we didn't need any handholding. Is it just me that feels this way??

Okay, that's my one point. I do foresee that the same kind of ppl that enjoyed the JT Remix will love this one too. I don't mind hearing it but I think it's more out of fatigue than anything; I'm just sick of being disappointed by JKs work this year
