You know what I find funny? People think that they have the audacity to tear down this remake of Lorde's song just because Kanye West did it. What would happen if Kanye West's name wasn't in the title? I bet more than half of you would say that you love it and some of you would even go on to say that it is better than the original. What you people need to learn is how to separate an artist's personality and their work. I absolutely despise Kanye West as a person but I have to commend his career and what he did on this song. By stripping the song of its original beat and adding 808s on top of it with a few melodic piano breakdowns and the choir in the background, he made this song all the more haunting and perfect for a dark film like the Hunger Games. I also feel that this beat actually fits Lorde's vocals better than the original because it helps convey the darkness that Lorde's voice brings and it isolates her and allows the listener to really hone in and focus on her. As for the comments saying that Kanye West is talent less and doesn't know how to make music, you better have a good explanation why. Have you listened to The College Dropout? Late Registration? Graduation? 808s and Heartbreak? My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? The man has sculpted one of the most diverse discographies in music today and in music history and has yet to repeat himself from a sonic standpoint and from the albums I named, he has offered enticing lyrical content as well. Seriously learn to separate art and person and just acknowledge that Kanye has transcended the genre. You don't have to enjoy it but if you don't at least respect it, then you better have a very reasonable explanation why so (and "He's such a douchebag that's why" isn't very constructive).

I feel like both versions of this song show 2 different sides of Katniss.
Yellow Flicker Beat shows the badass Katniss. The Katniss that destroyed the arena. The Katniss that shot down the hovercrafts in District 5. The Katniss that shouts "If we burn, you burn with us!" at the top of her lungs.
Meanwhile, Flicker shows another side that's rarely seen. The Katniss that made a mini-funeral for Rue. The Katniss that sang The Hanging Tree. The Katniss that almost ate nightlock. The Katniss that swore to kill President Snow.
Both songs are amazing. They really show how important producing is when you're trying to convey a certain emotion, which is why I'm glad both versions are on the soundtrack.

I'm absolutly not a fan of Kanye but the man is fucking more intelligent than people think. He knows music. He is just under those bad energies in Hollywood. This version is BEAUTIFUL.

This version is so much more powerful. And by slowing down the production you can truly appreciate Lorde's vocals as well as the distinct and ominous production. Amazing rework.

Honestly any of you who think kanye didnt do this song justice are full of shit, the mans a complete narcissist, but hes a talented producer this re-edit has a greater atmosphere than the original hands down

This is how i envisioned this song's tone. Never seen a hunger games movie but from the trailers and shit about survival, that poppy shit from the original was outplaced. Like the intro was cool then it went downhill on the original. Kanye nailed the concept

This beat perfectly captures the mood of the song for me. Better than the original, Kanye West delivers again.

So happy that 2 of my favorite solo artists worked together. This was a masterpiece, and I hope you do future work together.

I never thought I'd say this... but I'm glad Kayne West remixed it. This is so much better than the original.

This definitely suits the tone of Mockingjay better than the original version of the song. The thing I had with the original was that it was to upbeat and fast and didn't suit the tone of Mockingjay but this version is much better.

Can everyone stop saying how bad Kanye's music is? It really isn't. The top comment states that this is the only song Kanye touched that isn't dog shit. I mean, set this song aside, are you forgetting about Amazing? Stronger? Power? All of the Lights? Heartless? All of those songs have deep meaning behind them. Most of you listen to all his arrogant words but have you ACTUALLY listened to what he has to say? I doubt it. I doubt any of you people have listened to Runaway, Jesus Walks, Hold My Liquor, New Slaves, Gorgeous, Monster, Hell of a Life, and all of his other (extremely) under-rated songs. Instead of listening to your extremely popular Taylor Swift (where all her songs are exactly the same) or Daft Punk (where many of you haven't listened to till this year) or even Eminem (where his new music is shit compared to his old ones), try giving good artists, like Kanye, a listen. Fun facts: Lorde's favorite songs of 2013 includes Hold My Liqour by Kanye West, Kanye won 21 Grammys, Kanye scored the most critically acclaimed album (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) of 2010 (with a score of 94), Martin Scorsese (One of the greatest directors of all time, not to mention his great taste in music) featured one of Kanye West's songs (Black Skinhead) in the trailer of the Oscar nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street. By the way, I'm not trying to say the Kanye West is the best artist of all time, I'm saying that you all should think twice before giving a bad name to Kanye. He is definitely ONE of the best artists alive. Sorry if there are any grammatical errors, I'm only typing what I feel blindly. In case you're wondering about how bad my taste is, my favorite bands are Green Day (old songs), Radiohead, Parquet Courts, Arcade Fire, The Ramones, Vampire Weekend and U2.

Lorde x Kanye was completely underrated. I pray it happens again somehow. We need another miracle
