Title: Not Marmalade!
Product review: Sometimes, when reworked versions, and covers seem to come along in music, they really always don't seem to fit the bill very well. For Lady Marmalade by LaBelle, it was and still is absolutely divine and soulful. Unfortunately, the version from Moulin' Rouge with Nicole Kidman, isn't one to live up to expectations. The collaboration of Pink, Lil' Kim, Christina Aguillera, and Mya, sounds more like a divafest of knowing who is the better diva. The song also adds a rap that Lil' Kim conjured that really wasn't part of the version LaBelle made that didn't even add spice to it. Instead, it just sinks the track to even lower heights. All in all, I really didn't find this version exciting and worth listening to, time after time. It really doesn't have the longevity of the original one from the 70's, and it never will.
