It drags too much for a song of this decade. This guy tried to turn it into a dance remix (the same guy who had a hit with a remix of Since U Been Gone-- Kelly's recent hit), but it just was too slow to work with. But, you could really appreciate the potential of it. I'm telling you, this dance remix of Carrie doing Alone (the sped up version) would be smoking hot.
I also think that such a thing is what Simon had in his head when she sang it and he made his prediction about her. Take Martina McBride (Carrie) and add in the Black Eyed Peas. It would be totally unlike anything out there today. It could get airplay on thousands and thousands of radio stations.
May I ask what kind of work you do? You certainly have a creative streak in you.
