Been meaning to post about this ages ago and at work now heard it again and i just dont get it.

Im talking about heart radio but im sure ive heard it on 1 and capital all the same.

ITS TERRIBLE, it is easily the worst radio edit ive ever heard

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot headed believer

Round and around....

thats that verse

then mikki ecko: its not much of a life youre living, round and around..

It baffles me they have literally cut off half of the verses and bridge of a song that doesnt have that many lyrics anyway nor is it long anyway..?

Why lol? Its the only song ive heard that thats bad, i mean why not cut off one of the choroses as thats the repeated part? Its proper frustrating me lol.

I'm sure some stupid executive declared it boring and said it would bore the listeners even though everyone prefers the ordinary version. What's more annoying are the obvious plugs or declaring that their station is number 1...

I agree. I think that's probably what it is. Although I don't find it boring personally, I like the song.

Capital FM completely ignored songs like Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri and Little Things by One Direction because they're "too slow" or something. So seeing that, her record label probably thought they had to make an ultra-short radio edit of the song, so a station like Capital might be more convinced to play it.

Songs like We No Speak Americano and Loca People also had extremely short radio edits, again, I think the record label knew that songs that are mainly foreign language/instrumental will need to have shorter radio edits to get more airplay.

Yet they play Emeli Sand- Clown in full which is infinitely more dull

Also the S&M radio edit or should i say butcher was far worse just refuse to play the song and be done with it

Haha that was so funny!

I may be bad but am perfectly good at it.

Beep in the air baby I love the smell of it. Sticks and Stones may break my bones but Beep and Beep Excite me.

LOL

If I remember a few R1 Dj's after playing it commented on the edit haha

I'm sure on some edits they made the chorus an instrumental before moving onto the come on bit And they even changed the title to Come On i mean seriously keep it post watershed if you feel so strongly

I know but you kind of expect dull songs from Emeli. From Rihanna you expect chains and whips..oh wait not on Capital...

In Radio 1's S&M edit the instrumental section was the bit where it goes "S, S, S & M, M M", and it was all completely muted.

Ayo Technology by 50 Cent had a weird radio edit too.

But I'd say Heart FM's edits of I Gotta Feeling and Give Me Everything are the most ridiculous. The lengths they go to to try and cut out any rapping are a bit extreme.
