Additional Duets: Music from the Motion Picture Information
|
Don't be misled. The name of the film may be Duets, but the soundtrack only features three actual duets. The film centers around wacky characters at a karaoke bar, and the soundtrack follows suit, featuring actors singing! Gwyneth Paltrow joins Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds for a cover of "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" and Huey Lewis for a go at Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." "Try a Little Tenderness" is run through by Paul Giamatti and Arnold McCuller. Paltrow has a sweet whine in her voice, but it's no match for the husky drawl of Kim Carnes for "Bette Davis Eyes." Huey Lewis is no Joe Cocker with "Feelin' Alright," but it's a valiant rendition. On the other hand, Arnold McCuller's soulful reading of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" recasts the song as a spiritual. Duets is a perfect album for parties where "singing" "Copacabana" is a prerequisite. --Rob O'Connor

What Customers Say About Duets: Music from the Motion Picture:

Purchased this used. cd was not what it said it was. However, a credit was given in a reasonable amount of time.
I have watched the movie so many times, I sing all their "heys" and "ha's" but get tripped up since the CD is another recording. I really enjoy the movie and the songs they selected are great karaoke songs that make you want to sing along. My only issue is that the song as it is sung in the movie is slightly different than the CD version. Why would you do that. At any rate, its still a good CD and movie, so its certainly worth picking up.
Come on now; all this mention of Gwyneth Paltrow is great. I have played the scene over and over a hundred times. But the real show stopper is "Try A Little Tenderness", sung by Paul Giamatti. The duet is sensational. I decided to buy the soundtrack just for that one song. Great performance.
gwen paltrow,sultry voice.huey lewis excellent.suprisingly,paul giamatti has talent in the music genre.didn't know he was that talent.
My husband and I loved the movie, and enjoy every song on the CD. Thanks, Donna O
