The Popdust Files: lady gaga, Remix, shania twain

Another day, another pretty cool remix of Lady Gaga‘s “You and I.” But whereas the Wild Beasts recut from yesterday completely reinvented the song, replacing its original music and chopping the vocals to near-unrecognizable snippets, Mark Taylor’s latest spin on Gaga’s latest single just takes it further in the direction it was always headed—as a crowd-pleasing, arena-filling country anthem, with a stomping beat, huge-sounding synths and well-timed backing vocals. Given that the song was originally co-produced by Robert “Mutt” Lange, producer of Shania Twain’s Come on Over (as well as countless other rock/pop blockbusters), it’s only fitting that “You and I,” now most closely resembles Shania’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman”—which, of course, is one of the highest of pop compliments. Note the resemblance for yourself:
