"Although I respect and even understand the reasoning behind the previous reviews, I couldn't agree LESS. The Thunderpuss remix is a scorcher. I agree that there has been less innovation in recent Thunderpuss remixing, but they never fail to make me want to move. As for the song itself, so what if it's cliched? It's a great summertime/dance song and if cliches were outlawed from pop music, than Billboard would be hard pressed to find anything to put on their charts! Just go with it and have fun. The other mixes are good, too. If you liked "Let The Joy Rise", you'll like this one."
Excellent Maxi-Single By This Wonderous Dance Music Diva
Ernest V Anziano | Philadelphia, PA United States | 08/05/2000

"If I could give this maxi-single more stars, I would. This ultra-catchy dance tune wonderfully showcases the considerable talents of an extremely gifted and highly energetic dance music diva Abigail. I use the term diva in the best light imaginable, for this diva is as sweet as she is talented. Abigail has always stood out over others with her strong and obviously heart-felt vocals and now she sounds better than ever. Abigail's ability to pick the best producers to suit her is another testimonial to her true talent. The two mixes by Thunderpuss 2000 are powerful and infectious, successfully capturing Abigail's ability to generate enough energy to supply a city with lights, while Eric Kupper's mixes are soothingly pleasing. His remix truly highlights Abigail's wonderful, truly melodic voice. This dynamic diva just gets better and better. Listening to this single makes me anticipate Abigail's next release even more. Pick this one up now - you won't be sorry."
Amazing!

"You guys must be talking about some other Abigail, because this song is awesome! So, yeah, maybe Thunderpuss mixes do get tireing with their signature sounds, but their remix of "If It Don't Fit" is incredible! The Mike Macaluso mix is also very good. If you like good club music and remixes, i definately say buy this cd. Abigail...you're a diva! you've got an amazing voice as well, and i hope you keep making great music."
A Total Crowd Pleaser

"This song reached the summit of the Billboard Dance/Club Play for a reason...it's a slammin' sizzler of a dance song! Abigail is an artist that is highly underrated, and I give the Thunderpuss team definite props for exposing this talent with some new dance music. (I love Abigail's previous work...but enough covers already!) There's nothing really new here lyrically or musically, but it really seems to work in a big club. The Thunderpuss team outdoes itself in the production department this time. Ridiculous amounts of vocal sampling and killer builds anthemic enough to dwarf some of their previous yet larger-than-life club anthems. This song just won't quit. I highly recommend the Vinyl version as well, just to get the dub, which is the perfect companion to the main mix. If you like this, then by all means, be sure to pick up Taylor Dayne's "Naked Without You.""
Catchy Ditty For the Summer Fits Abigail Like a Glove

"After being in the shadows in clubland for several years, Abigail may finally step into the limelight this summer with _IF IT DON'T FIT_. Be sure to check out the Mike Macoluso Remix which has more of a freestyle and electronica ambience. The Thunderpuss 2000 remixes are good but their over-exposure in the past 2 years makes the song sound predictable and rehashed. The song has an anthemic feel to it, and the lyrics and hooks (e.g., "knock knock, who's there?" and "my mamma said if it don't fit, don't force it") will stay in your head for days on end, although they're rather cheesy and cliche. The song has a great flow to it and a very positive/healthy message. This tune will surely get clubgoers on the dance floor this summer. Abigail has been waiting in the wings for a long time since her remake of _Smells Like Teen Spirit_ and her recent club smash _Let The Joy Rise_ (notice that the Thunderpuss 2000 remix of Jennifer Lopez' _Feelin' So Good_ was pretty much rehashed from Abigail's _Let The Joy Rise_ club mix). Give this song a spin and you'll have the chorus and hook dancing in your head."
