Posted: 1/27/06 at 11:30pmYeah I did a search and couldn't find anything. Bah. So I was in Borders yesterday, and while I was in the "soundtrack" section, I noticed that the Aida CD looked strange. I looked at the back, and noticed that this was no ordinary CD--it was covers of the songs from Aida sung by pop artists, such as Shania Twain and My Strongest Suit performed by the SPICE GIRLS. Does anyone own this CD? Where the frick was I when it came out?

Concept, yes.

Posted: 1/27/06 at 11:33pmI've heard four of the songs from it... "Another Pyramid" by Sting and "Not Me" by Boyz II Men aren't that bad.

I don't know about the album, but I definitely have the Spice Girls singing "My Strongest Suit" on my iPod. Haha. What can I say? I was a fan of theirs back in the day.

Posted: 1/28/06 at 12:40amI'm not usually a big fan of Elton John's singing, but I love the version of "A Step Too Far" he does with Heather Headley and Sherie Rene Scott on the concept album.

Posted: 1/28/06 at 1:41amYes, I saw that in Barnes and Noble too, and I was shocked to see the Spice Girls singing My Strongest Suit.

Posted: 1/28/06 at 1:44amI had no idea that this album existed. I downloaded some of the songs tonight. I liked Elton John and Janet Jackson singing I Know The Truth. I thought The Spice Girls singing My Strongest Suit was awful.

Posted: 1/29/06 at 12:29amI have the concept album and the OBC. Although I wouldn't consider the concept album all that good, it does have some good points, like Tina Turner singing Easy as Life (except for the beginning of the song, that sounds awful)and the Spice Girls singing Strongest Suit (At least I thought they sounded good on that song).
