All the bits of Kelly's original which just sound like her chuntering madly over an endless loop (which is pretty much the entire song. I tell you, someone in the Destiny's Child axis must just love playing their old funk albums at single speed...that or drinking twelvety-eleven cups of coffee a day) are suddenly lifted, often by nothing cleverer than changing the music under her vocal, depending on which rhythmic section she's on at any given moment.

In fact, I know this sounds like a crazy point to have to make after all these years of popular song, but it turns out that having your verses sound entirely different to your choruses is actually a really good idea, and can make the difference between a drab song with a good beat and a brilliant song with a large variety of arse-quake options.

Listen to the original...I'm right, aren't I?

In fact the only real gripe with this new version is that the chorus is a bit too 'Music Sounds Better With You', a tad disco-perfect, where the verses and buildup were more rusty and wayward. But it's a really minor point to make, and not it's worth lingering on for too long. Mainly because it's a bit like saying that someone whose face has been entirely rebuilt after a major car crash looks "a bit too pretty for me, actually". It's carping, and that's not nice.

(For future reference, rusty and wayward are not lost members of the Jackson 5, Which is another sentence I never thought I'd find myself typing. Isn't life weird?)
