I came to this new Cascada song expecting to hate it. After all, no one could possibly sing Just Like A Pill like Pink could. What hit me like a dump truck from the sky was a near-perfect dance remake of the original, staying true to the grittiness of the song and slamming me with the heavy saws after the chorus. Natalie Horler, the face and voice behind the group Cascada, has done a wonderful job on this track- and despite the fact that the song is entirely unrealistic coming from the mouth of a pop singer, I think for a song it works well.
Pink wrote this song based upon her rough teenage years and the honesty with which she speaks can only truly come from the writer herself. This version had to be cleaned up a little for radio (yeah, that DJ sound isn’t your computer skipping). For comparison, here’s the original Just Like A Pill from Pink, which came out back in September of 2002.
For the comment box: Whose version do you like better?

Cascada is back with another song that radio won’t play. If you’re heard the original from Rascal Flatts, this one probably won’t live up to your expectations. The song isn’t terrible, but again, like her past three, it doesn’t live up to what made her multi-platinum in the first place. All it sounds like is the same pounding beat with the same instruments we’ve heard in three of her songs already. And she had so much potential.I think that if she really wanted to (and for crying out loud, stopped singing other people’s songs) she could certainly put out another hit.
It’s Cascada with What Hurts The Most.
Added November 27 – I actually like it slightly if I listen to it enough. Maybe it’ll grow on me…but she can still do better.

So I just posted about this song a week ago, but already there’s another version out from Cascada, the electronic pop artist who was able to record one song and be the biggest pop artist of last year. Which version is best? The original, I have discovered, was done by Wham, though I don’t have that one because it’s so old. However, I have clips of the four latest versions below: and which one is the best?
