I love it. The mixes are pretty good too. (p.s., 7/12/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Oh, I love this song! The original album version is my favorite. (C.S., 6/12/2008 see all my reviews >> )
wow...can't believe all the negative comments about this one true diva. these mixes were all awesome and ecclectic. there was something for everyone (the true fans anyway). i'm sure the reason she didn't use the old stand by remixers is because she is a true artist and a true artist takes risks. for all you circuit boys...your gonna have to wait for the mixes of "stamp your feet", j. nevins is one of the remixers. for reasons to long to go into here, i have received the full length album....not due to hit stores until may 20th. although i do love this song, the powers that be had so many other songs to choose to be the first single. especially the rihanna like, radio ready title song, "crayons"...man, this woman is astounding. still sounding young and fresh at the ripe young age of 60. the queen is back indeed.

I Love most of the mixes. There's a mix for everyone on these discs. I'm wating for her new single STAMP YOUR FEET to mixed and released! Her new albums is GREAT! She's really put her heart and soul into this project and so did her record company Burgundy Records. Way to go Donna!!! (s.i., 5/14/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Donna, you're he BEST! Love your mixes!!! (s.i., 5/14/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Great Song! Love the different feels! (S.M., 5/14/2008 see all my reviews >> )
MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm this remixes are of very effect, but the serie I love is the CRAIG REMIXES, i think that "they made the song" essence. (C.D., 4/19/2008 see all my reviews >> )
The best mix is Ranny's big room mix reminds you of the Hex Hector Sound from the 90's....... (jomhongkong, 4/18/2008 see all my reviews >> )
As a hard core Donna fan I'm a bit mixe don this--I agree that with so many club mixes, most are boring. I think the Solitaire mis is the only one I'd really dance hard to at a club--it is very good though not quite great.
The Craig Mix is the most disappointing, I like his work but this goes nowhere...
That said, the surprise for me is the mix by the original producer, Sebastian Arocha Morton who co-wrote the song. While it sounds a tad demo-ey (I wouldn't be surprise dif the album mix is different) and might not be "hard' enough for some clubbers, it has a GREAT laid back feel that also reminds me of some of Donna's great disco moments. The 7 mins just flow by and the song subtly changes until youhave the great Latin sounding adlib section near the end. That original mix gets five stars alone.

Where to start? Re: None of these remixes are good/remixes are boring. Get a clue. Call in Tony Moran when you either have an overpowering vocalist, or a weak vocalist that you need to drown out, because before it is all said and done, the vocalist will fade into the background of the din that is the Tony Moran sound. Want to recreate the sound? - overlay 3 copies of the same track and clang a bunch of pots and pans. Sorry, his mixes are way too chaotic, and I doubt they will stand the test of time. Some of you need to listen a little more closely to the "I'm A Fire" mixes, as they are well recorded and very well balanced, including Craig C, Rocasound, and the Begovic and Soul Conspiracy. And you have a stellar vocalist, so why would you want to diminish it? BTW, Rocasound has remixed Jody Watley, and Craig C remixed Mariah's "Don't Forget About Us".

Burgundy Records & Pure Tone Music have released this track as a club teaser from Donna's upcoming cd Crayons, due May 20th. Wow, the Donna Summer we all know and love is B-A-C-K!! One line from the song has Donna purring that she is a furnace, and she wants us to "come burn in me". Hot Hot Hot!! This song has definitely got her fans burning for more.....I think the best version is the original Sebastian Arocha Morton album version. Amazingly the album version seems to clock in just over 7 minutes! That is classic Donna Summer. The latin break towards the end seems to suit Donna so well. It has me saying "Yo te quiero mas" Donna. And just look at the cd cover as well as the new album cover. You can just tell Donna's creative juices are back in full swing. Can't wait to hear the whole CD and look forward to the official first single, Stamp Your Feet!! (F.B., 4/9/2008 see all my reviews >> )
 I'm surprised this didn't get an official release but kudos to Perfect Beat for getting the exclusive! I'm also partial to the mixes on CD2 (Solitaire's is my pick) but there are lots of styles to choose from. Looking forward to the album and lots more remixes from Donna. Thanks Perfect Beat for making this one happen. (G.C., 4/13/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Ok, I'm not sure what some of you guys are listening to, but there ARE definately some good mixes - although I'm partial to CD2 (Yeah Solitaire). As far as the big name mixers, I don't think they would have done anything too much different.
Congratulations Donna! (k.h., 4/11/2008 see all my reviews >> )
This track is hot as fire! Too bad though that the label didn't include Ranny's mix of this song for some reason. Weird. Both parts of this release are worth picking up, but if you have to choose only one, choose CD2 over CD1. (W.A., 4/10/2008 see all my reviews >> )
These mixes are good but I agree with R.O. Ranny's mix is HOTTT!!! i've been playing it for three weeks not and it never fails to pack a floor...wish is was included. (Joe Flores, 4/9/2008 see all my reviews >> )
 My cd won't play on any of our home computers.
It also won't play or extract on i-tunes or Nero or anything else i've got installed on my 3 computers.
All i hear is white noise when i press play on the cd player.
Has anyone else got this same problem with their cd?
I presume it does this because it's actually a CD-R with painted on artwork made by perfectbeat themselves. Makes me mad and disappoints me because i've not been able to play the cd since i bought it when the email about it being availble first came out. (Anthony M., 5/20/2008 see all my reviews >> )
 I have to side with those that are disappointed in this track. The Craig C and Solitaire mixes are listenable, but still can't really save a song that's just badly written and/or arranged in the first place. I'd love to support Donna and dance music, but I can't afford to waste money on a track I'd probably hardly ever listen to. I hear Stock Aitken Waterman are back together. Perhaps Donna should return to them since they were responsible for her last real success. (M.G., 4/12/2008 see all my reviews >> )
So, two CD's chock-full of remixes, and all of them are BORING. Let me know when CDs comes out with some better mixes.... (D.H., 4/10/2008 see all my reviews >> )
I love Donna Summer when she sang that song about me " you're so beautiful" Tony Moran Mix, but this track? I don't know about this track. She's really not on fire on this one. The only thing that's on Fire is me...Boring! (P.I., 4/10/2008 see all my reviews >> )
 I agree with the other reviewers. Donna need some circuit Djs for her songs like : TONY MORAN, OFFER NISSIM, JUNIOR VASQUEZ, HEX HECTOR, RALPHI ROSARIO, TRACY YOUNG etc....
Otherwise this song is boooooooooooooooooooooring! (Yecin, 5/8/2008 see all my reviews >> )
PS: I wanted to say "Otherwise this remixs are boring" not "this song is boring" sorry :-) (Yecin, 5/8/2008 see all my reviews >> )
The title of these mixes should of been called:
"Unnecessary".... I am however extremely excited she's
touring and will hit our area in August. She is such a
powerful vocal artist that one must witness in person.
I too hope Hex Hector ( and or Tony Moran ) is allowed
to re-mix any future singles from her upcoming album. (j.t., 4/30/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Really? This is what we get from one of our best diva's? This CD could be oh so much better...Where are the remixes from Tony, Wayne, Nissim? Same goes for the other CD but I am only writing this once. Peace out yo (s.h., 4/30/2008 see all my reviews >> )
With 17 total mixes, not one captures Ms. Summer's true identity...She is and always will be HOT STUFF but she is certainly no FIRE with this tired song....It needs the "Almighty" touch of Tony Moran, Wayne G, Vasquez, Cruz or Nissim...There are other mixes out there that are getting airplay on XAM radio. Why did we get stuck with these---total waste of 20 bucks. (L.S., 4/20/2008 see all my reviews >> )
Sadly, this track simply doesn't go anywhere. There is no build-up, no definitive chorus, no rock-the-house break. It just goes on and on to nowhere. As each minute passes your hopes of some bombastic moment fade. I wanted to love this new DS track, but I can't. Is it the production? The arrangement? The mixes? The vocals? There's just no "it" factor. I think it's great that DS is on the Billboard Dance chart, but where exactly they are playing this track? (A.D., 4/14/2008 see all my reviews >> )
I don't recall looking forward to dance record from a premier, if not THE, premier dance vocalist vocalist to only feel like I've been sucker punched from monumental disappointment. No mixes on either CD soars, percolates,grooves or is joyful. Bring on the BIG GUNS
