I just think this should be remembered.

I mean, how could you forget? But just want it to be remembered.

Posted: 5/4/13 at 11:20pmAm I missing something? I see on Amazon the Bombshell CD for sale has only the K McP's version of Don't forget me. There is also a Bombshell 2 version being released at Target with some interviews and a few bonus tracks but I am still not seeing the MH version. But I thought I read somewhere there were both versions on the CD..but I only see one. Hmmmmm..

Posted: 5/5/13 at 4:07amBoth versions aren't on the CD. However, apparently it will be released as a single on iTunes.

Seriously? grrrrrrr Sort of like "Second Hand White Baby Grand" being left off the first Smash CD for what reason???
Well that sucks.

I'm becoming slightly addicted to this video, I've been watching it at least once a day for the past week.

Posted: 5/5/13 at 11:06amOops, I meant to say once a day. It's fixed now, thanks!

Posted: 5/7/13 at 9:42amFinally, Megan Hilty's far superior version of "Don't Forget Me" (IMO) is available on iTunes. I just bought mine and I'm really happy....but amazed that it took so long!

I love both versions.. play them back to back and see how talented both these women are..I do think since it has more of a POP sound it works better with Katherines voice..Meg tends to be acting the song...which I know is necessary but I like Katherines version better-softer and more quiet.....maybe because i heard her sing it first and I loved the finale of last years show....but I love Megs also..just very different take on the same song..both work for me
I still think Megs best song is They Just Keep Moving the Line..I think this is the best song of the entire series Meg slams this ..it is perfect for her voice..
I listen to They Just Keep Movin the Line about 20x a week LOL

Posted: 5/7/13 at 10:13am"They Just Keep Movin the Line" is probably one of the best Shaiman/Wittman songs. It serves so many purposes and it delivers.

The songs first sung by each lady is often written for that actress is it not? For example, McPhee sounds better on "20th Century Fox Mambo" than Hilty, while Hilty is far superior on "National Pastime"

Posted: 5/7/13 at 1:11pmI disagree, the Mambo is McPhee's best song (along with her part of "Let Me Be Your Star") but Hilty's rendition is just as good, if not better, IMO.

Posted: 5/7/13 at 3:57pmSo glad to be able to purchase this version! McPhee's vocal rendition is fine, but Hilty's strikes me as more the way Marilyn would want to be remembered.

Posted: 5/7/13 at 6:31pmI love that you can hear her smile in the music when she starts the "There are some" section.

Posted: 5/7/13 at 6:41pmI feel like Karen isn't even trying to channel Mariyln, Ivy becomes her. There's also the fact that Karen is entirely too skinny to believably portray Marilyn, if it weren't for the blonde wig I couldn't tell it was supposed to be Marilyn.

I love both versions but Katharines version just about edges it for me.
Megan Hilty's (Ivy) #95
Posted: 5/7/13 at 7:42pmThe 3 best songs from Smash, IMHO, are 1. They just keep moving the line 2. Hang the moon and now Ivy's version of DOn't forget me. But I cant get They just keep moving the line out of my head quite honestly

Posted: 5/7/13 at 8:57pmIf anyone hasn't yet downloaded her other song for this week "Grin and Bear it", do so immediately. Holy moly it is INCREDIBLE
