EDIT3: Here's a video of the performance incase you missed it...



.. There's a show called "Movies Rock" on CBS right now. Fergie will be doing a version of Live and Let Die....

I hope some of you guys catch this thread in time!

[Mr. Blofeld]

Really? What time?

[deth]

could be now... or very soon. The show is on now...

[Mr. Blofeld]

Dear Lord, Danny DeVito just got Nancy Sinatra's name wrong...

...and they're using Maurice Binder's Dr. No credits?!

Binder must be rolling in his grave...

[deth]

meh. I've seen better... the bit with the rope was cool tho.

This show needs class... someone like Shirley Bassey should've been on the show.

I'm just waiting for John Williams and then I'm tuning out..

Whoa, John Williams? Doing what?

[deth]

don't know... a performance (conducting) of something... I love his music, and really, he's one of the few that actually belongs on a show like this... so I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll be doing

[Mr. Blofeld]

They just had Elton John perform "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" from The Lion Kimg; it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, so it was nice watching a professional performing one of his usual songs.

Fergie, however; dear God...

[deth]

yep... Elton John is always great live. Even that Eminem thing at the Grammy's a few years ago...

[deth]

gotta love John Williams! Best segment on the show!

Was anyone else hoping he would perform Hedwig's Theme?

I was glad, however, to see his evident joy in being there.

[deth]

I didn't think of Hedwigs's theme actually. That would have been a good inclusion...

I loved the little inclusion of the Pink Panther Theme (one of my fav films and themes) I was surprised that they didn't include a bit of Indiana Jones in there..

Me neither; what, with Indy 4 coming up, and all...

[deth]

It's a shame they'll never do a show like this for actual films SCORES... it would be nice to bring more attention to it to the public eye. Unfortunately you can't really have any big "Stars" involved, so it won't happen

[Mr. Blofeld]

They just had rappers doing the theme to Shaft, of all things.

[deth]

yep. The Williams and Martin Scorsese segments were the only good ones. Shame that Fergie slaughtered LALD

Yep.

[Qwerty]

EDIT: I obviously meant to write FERGIE...

Fixed.

[deth]

thanks for that

here's a crappy quality edited bit about her performance.. I'm sure a better quality one will appear sometime soon.

[MarcAngeDraco]

Fergie singing LALD... what were they thinking?...

[Professor Dent]

Who's strangling the cat?

Oh, wait a minute, it's Fergie.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Who's strangling the cat?

Oh, wait a minute, it's Fergie.

Thank the Lord it wasn't the other Fergie up there embarrassing herself.

[deth]

there's a better quality video...

[Professor Dent]

Thanks for the full version, deth. In the part where she is singing, "what does it matter to ya," she sounds an awful lot like Axle Rose.

[deth]

yeah... it was kind of a mixture of a bunch of versions... and for most part it just sounded like a mess...

some of the the youtube comments are... hmmm makes me just want to give a few of the posters a good slap... ;P

[Johnboy007]

Oh, this is so bad.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Not only does she murder the song she seems to murder B.J. Arnau's version of it.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Not only does she murder the song she seems to murder B.J. Arnau's version of it.

Did anyone manage to catch Danny DeVito's introduction of the song? Not only did he seem a bit awkward while saying his lines, but he also mixed up Nancy Sinatra and Tina Turner, calling her "Tina Sinatra"...

Gosh, it was a real ed-up event.

[deth]

Perhaps Danny had a little too much booze in him again... oy...


...I seemed like all the presenters were really stilted.. They were clearly reading lines of course, but still. What a shoddy event, a shame, like I mentioned earlier... so little about film music is in the mainstream, and when there is, this is what they do

[Mr. Blofeld]

Well, did you catch Tony Bennett? He sang "White Christmas" and he did it sort of stilted, but he looked like he was having a ball. When he was done, everyone stood up and applauded.

What a legend.
