Some time ago I wrote an article critical of musical versions that make no longer deserve to live penalty 1, 2 and maybe some version without waste , but in the case of Marilyn Monroe, the only thing you can do an infamous internet surfers should be devoting a full article, even if it is only in the musical sense. In this case, I would like to try the famous song "Diamons Are the girl's best friend" film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Gentlemen prefer blondes) 1953.
If it is true that Marilyn was a limited edition pack, singer, actress, model ... that stood out in almost everything, I think it is more than just a place to devote to this issue so special. Diamonds is a remarkable song, which is played on a large stage surrounded by dancers and actors, an issue that, properly interpreted would never be able to pass unnoticed. However, over time, many types of "artists" and here we see the essence of the song and the difference between a great artist and a "pfff Artist ".. Here's the good versions, passable, null and fantastic.
Version original theme played by Marilyn M:
good versions:
Eartha Kitt and Kylie Minogue (special mention)
the more faithful to the original that is certainly known of Kylie Minogue, a strong interpretation quite remarkable, I must admit that I loved as hits the fan in the head to the dancers.
passable versions: Beyoncé
or Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole
of itself could recognize it as almost an artist, her voice is quite acceptable, however his talent on stage is just mediocre but we must take into account the effort a person will probably not be able to distinguish between Richard Gere and Alf. Beyoncé may have been a great candidate to file this song, but after the premiere of Moulin Rogue was in the queue as an unfinished project.
versions without any grace :
It may seem absurd to comment on this, have a nice voice, but that's all, no movement, is like giving a microphone to a steel beam, where's the diva?, Does incredible force that swept over all, which leaves your mouth open with his mischief?, Diamonds is an issue that stands out for interpretation, how do intend to make a splash with someone breathing almost unable to walk and sing at the same time?, a disaster.
Version, the best, no doubt
Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.
is clear that large voices have gone through this, and so clear is the fact that the same song in different places have no point of comparison, does anyone still believe that if Danielle had interpreted this issue over 50 years had had the slightest impact?. Marilyn after all there was only one, and even though you may admit the great talent of Nicole Kidman with big orchestras, composers and dancers, a version will always stay in that, even in the hand of a big star.
