Basshunter continues to sell out

I really had some respect for Jonas when he was composing geek-culture electronica, but lately he (or his producers at Warner Music Group) have been pushing his music far more mainstream. This new video entitled “Now you’re gone” is simply “Boten Anna” notes with updated lyrics.
Several months ago, and even in 2006, his music was some of the best electronica I’d heard in quite some time. I am actually beginning to be a little sad for Jonas. Warner Music appears to be converting his awesome tunes into junk main-stream pop. While it will make him a bit more money, his name will tarnish with time unless he gets his act together.
A really good example of producers and greed turning awesome into garbage is Metallica. I don’t need to explain that analogy. Watch “Boten Anna” and then watch “Now you’re gone” and you tell me which is the better video:
Now watch this one:
Please tell me how much bullshit this is. Comments?
i was actually thinking the exact same thing and im pissed about it esspecialy with the new release of the single “All I Ever Wanted” which is clearly to the beat of DotA but with mainstream scenes and lyrics and not the amazing foreign language and rave like settings

So glad someone agrees!
I thought it was only me & the whole of scandinavia that knew what he’s really like =P
Really gets on my nerves when I see chavvy 13 year olds listening to his new English “songs” and thinking it’s really cool, and no-one seems to listen when you try and tell them that he’s ripped of his own songs & what Boten Anna is about.
I’d love it if he released English versions of BA & Dota with the original lyrics, bet he wouldn’t do so well then!
Actually, I’d rather he just stuck to what he did best & not try to conquer England and ruin himself in the process…
