5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Song of the Year, September 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Come What May (Audio CD)

Buy this single. You get four versions of Come What May. One from the film Moulin Rouge (of course) the ballad from the CD and two remix versions. If you liked the movie and the wonderful singing talents of the star performers (especially Ewan McGregor!) you will love this single.

Ok here's the deal. If you liked Moulin Rouge and you have the DVD, the soundtracks, or just love the song Come What May this is the CD for you! The Cd has 5 tracks in all. The first two are the Josh Abrhams Remix and Remix Edit. We in the US would probably know it as the video version. The Remix is very uptempo and I LOVE IT! It brings new life to the song. The other 2 version of Come What May are the ones available on the Cd's Moulin Rouge and Moulin Rouge 2. They're very good as well. The last song on this Cd is the Elephant Love Medley Kareoke. THat is also interesting! Definatly get this CD! It is way worth the wait till it gets to you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rare piece in music history, August 20, 2001

This review is from: Come What May (Audio CD)

Come What May has been one of the chart toppers that almost instantly relates itself voluntarily to Moulin Rouge and its amateurish performers that created it - Ewan McGregor (Star Wars) and Nicole Kidman (Ex Mrs Cruise).

Penned by legendary David Foster who also wrote for renowned songsters, including Céline Dion, Mariah Carey and Chicago (It's Hard To Say I'm Sorry), the song is surround with surrealism and is clearly evident of Foster's visit. Sung by actor and actress of Moulin Rouge!, the song is just a breeze of fresh air, with new voices.

The remixes are however not up to my expectation and the tempo is exactly the same with distracting techno beats in the background that almost annihilate the magic of the song. However, one may find the Film version compellingly emotional and much more intense, albeit shorter (3 min+).

The elephant medley (instrumental) is congruent to the one you find in the soundtrack, only without voices. You may like to sing along with it. :o)

Cover art designed well, showing Ewan and Nicole caressing. A good buy if you do not want the soundtrack but only Come What may. Not a good buy if you wanna listen to remixes.
