THUNDERPUSS KICKS @$$ - Thunderpuss rules! The beats on their mix of Tamia s Stranger in My House are insane!!! Here s a list of their Top 10 remixes:1. It s Not Right, But It s Okay by Whitney Houston2. Lady Marmalade by Moulin Rouge!3. Tell Me Why by Spice Girls4. Song for the Lonely by Cher5. Stranger in My House by Tamia (this release)6. I m A Slave 4 U by Britney Spears7. All for You by Janet Jackson8. Can t Fight the Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes9. Get the Party Started by P!nk (actually just Barry Harris)10. No More Drama by Mary J. BligeOn to this CD...Wonderful dance music. That about sums it up.
Tamia should be no stranger to dance fans - The remixes of Stranger in My House are the best club remixes ever produced - period! The Thunderpuss Club Mix is pure dance heaven, outdoing even their already quite impressive work on Whitney Houston s It s Not Right . The stop-and-go beats typifying the song s bridge are exactly what dance-lovers have come to love about Thunderpuss - thunderooooous! The HQ2 Club Mix is equally enjoyable, though less of a classic moment than, let s say, Melanie C s I Turn to You . The Maurice s Club Anthem is perhaps the only weak mix in the collection, coming off as a pale imitation of the above-mentioned mixes. Considering the lacklustre mixes he did for Destiny Child, this does not come as a surprise. All in all, this is a superb CD.
Club Hit in the HOUSE! - This is one of the best Club Hits of all time. Tamia has a great voice and this mixes are hot! I love especially the H2Q Club Mix..
Tamia - Stranger In My House - Okay here s the thing, I don t see how anyone can get LeAnn Rymes & Tamia s voices mixed up, as they are completely different & both sing very different styles of music. Plus, just because they are both from Canada does not mean they have to sound the same! Tamia has a very unique & powerful style as do most R&B/Soul singers and would be more likely to be compared to someone like Deborah Cox or Chante Moore.Anyway, in relation to Stranger In My House this is a hot LP which includes some great club mixes and also a So So Def Remix by JD himself, which I always like to see!The song is fantastic both lyrically & vocally but I wouldn t expect anything less from Tamia as she is an extremely talented artist.I would also recommend you pick up the album the song is lifted from Nu Day for more of the same plus appearances from the other single Can t Go For That, Missy Elliott s production and even an appearance from Snoop Dogg. Please also see if you can get your ears on a song from her third album called Mr.Cool which features Mario Winans & is definetely one of her best to date.Tamia is a very beautiful and undeniably talented vocalist and I m glad she s not lowered herself to trying to please the mainstream, prefering to go the way that suits her and us real R&B and Soul fans. Keep it up Tamia we re all rooting for you!PS. What s going on with Still or More or whatever the new album is called now? I ve checked on Elektra s and Tamia s websites and there is a supreme lack of info! Hit me back by e-mail if you know anything anyone!
My Ten Cents - First of All:Rebecca from Medford...I think you need your ears checked because there is a HUGE difference between some country twangin southerner and a richly soulful Canadian. Not that I don t have mad love for Leann Rhimes, she has some good songs that I like to listen to but I honestly cannot see how one could mistake the two. Leann has a slightly deeper voice, while Tamia s voice is higher and more raspy, yet, still crisp and rich. As where Leann bellows out her notes, Tamia belts them. There is a difference, if you cannot tell the difference, then you shouldn t point out your own inadequacies as a human, just simply fade into the background while the rest of NON-audibly challenged listen to our music unabated by your useless commentary.Secondly and Lastly...Tamia is a great singer who doesn t get the credit she is well deserved of!
