The women emerging from under the bed cover reminded me of Bram Stoker's Dracula for some reason.


The version of WDC from Romeo + Juliet is superior to Ginuwine's, imho. Does anyone know what P. thought of that version?

I always wondered why they never put that version on the soundtrack to the movie,,,

You really think so? I thought their cover version was nice. Not great, but nice.



Hearing Sisqo do his lil runs all over the song ruined it...


I really liked Mariah's vocals. She should've cover the song alone.

sweet said:

did prince give him permission? or did the WB give him the ok?

just wondering wink

nope. He ain't even ask Prince. Ginuwine told him he was just paying tribute to him and showing his love of the song, and it was his way of thanking him for the music yada yada yada. Prince was like, "yeah, well you coulda just called me and told me that" instead of remaking the song. He did not want anybody re-doing his stuff at the time. Mainly because he was still in the heat of his battle with Warners.

Hey, was that Q magazine that he said this stuff in? anyone?


But Prince loved TLC's version of If I Was Your Girlfriend! And THIS was released during Prince's battles with WB. Therefore his controversy with his old label had nothing to do with it.

Prince felt the Ginuwine & Timbaland's take on his song wasn't good enough.

Bottom line, they didn't ask him. Plus he said that TLC was his favorite group at the time too. wtf was that about?

According to Amazon, it's on William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet: Music From The Motion Picture, Volume 2

Mariah and Dru Hill on The Beautiful Ones was much worser...


LOL @ 'worser' lol

But like you said, Dru Hill's presence was uncalled for. Columbia was dumb to shove that crowd into Mariah's throat.

Prince was asked about Mariah's take on TBO in a radio interview @ that time, and he said exactly what you said, that "Sisqo wasn't needed".

Said that the song is from a ONE person prespective, its a conversation with one self. In English, it was not ment to be a duet.

I liked it too, thought it was an interesting way to perform it. I really LOVE Mariah's version of Cherrelle's "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" from the highly acclaimed Glitter album (j/k about Glitter, not the song).

lol Do you mean Leonardo di Caprio? He came to the museum where I work about a month ago and didn't look too busted. smile

The guy who play Mercutio, Romeo's cousin, was on Lost, I think...

Yes, you are right on both counts. I didn't want to mention Leonardo's name because for some reason it stirs up all kinds of controversy. (for example, why didn't he win an oscar for Titanic, when he is in almost every frame). He still looks good, but he's gotten fatter since his peak years.

hmmm I didn't realize there was Leonardo controversy. For me, Titanic was when I stopped liking him. I couldn't care less that he didn't win the Oscar. That movie is a 3 hour sap fest (kinda like Emancipation). barf I really liked him in What's Eating Gilbert Grape though.


RE: getting fatter--are you sure that's not just growing up? smile Most guys tend to fill out once they get out of their teens.


cool

I think your thinking of Benvolio as Romeo's cousin. wink

At any rate, I think the actor who played Merc was Harold Perineau (sp?). I never watch Lost, but I know he was in Oz. nod
