EDIT: Okay, what the hell...JERRY BRUCKHEIMER is a character in this show!?!"

Didn’t she write “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” from Armageddon?! Just imaginehow overwrought and hammedup a MT singer singing that song is gonna be, lol!"



Jerry Bruckheimer also produced Con Air which I’m sure is the basis for him being a character in this. Diane Warren wrote “How Do I Live” for the film and personally chose 14 year old LeAnn Rhymes to record the song, however the Jerry Bruckheimer/Disney wanted Trisha Yearwood to sing the song for the film because Rhymes’ version sounded too “Pop” and because she was so young so they rerecorded the song with Trisha. And then both versions were released on the exact same day and both versions were nominated for Grammy Awards (I believe the only time that ever happened in the history of the Grammy Awards?)! LeAnn performed the song on the telecast and apparently bombed and directly afterwards Trisha won the Grammy. LeAnn’s version would then go on to break records for how long it stayed on the billboard hot 100. Trisha’s version was simultaneously nominated for Best Song at the Oscars and Worst Song at the Razzies!

The drama behind this song will definitely be a included in this bio-musical!"

 

I remember all of this drama and despite Bruckheimer and Disney's insistence that Trisha Yearwood's version be included on the CON-AIR soundtrack over LeAnn Rhimes, it was LeAnn's version that topped the charts and was a huge, huge hit. Her version of that song was everywhere! However, I disagree with you that LeAnn's performance of this song at the Grammys was "a bomb", because it wasn't. She did however receive a huge slap in the face from her peers (and the industry) when right after her performance Trisha Yearwood won the Grammy for her version of the song. It was such an awkward moment. But, despite all that and after all of these years, it is Rhimes' version that has stood the test of time.
