From the album Moulin Rouge!: Soundtrack

Quote:

In 2001, "Lady Marmalade" was featured as part of a medley in the film Moulin Rouge!. For the film's soundtrack album, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink recorded a cover version; it was released as the soundtrack's first single in spring 2001 (see 2001 in music). Produced by Missy Elliott and writing partner Rockwilder, it features an intro and outro from Elliott. A lyric was changed from the original version, with the song's setting being transferred from New Orleans to the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge. The song became a number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the second time, reaching number one in its eighth week and spending five weeks at the top of the chart. It was the second song in Billboard chart history (after Aaliyah's 2000 single "Try Again") to hit number one without being released in a major commercially available single format such as a CD or CD maxi single. "Marmalade" was Aguilera's fourth U.S. number-one single and first time number-ones for Kim, Pink and Mya in the U.S. It remained in the U.S. top forty for seventeen weeks and topped the charts in fifteen different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. The single was the best selling single for Lil' Kim & Mýa. The song was included on non-US versions of Christina Aguilera's first greatest hits album, Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits.

I like the original Lady Marmalade (1975) more

Although I like Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim's parts. Thankfully they come first so i don't have to sit through the other part.

I never stop getting goosebump while watching those bitches flirting around

P!nk's first number one.

The only one who went on to get more.

The pure shade in this thread already

But yes these ladies did this song JUSTICE. I luv them ALL! & Kim's rap only added to the hottness

This is so nostalgic.

This was the first music video I ever watched as far as I remember.

Congrats Christina!

Chrissy shows us in this song and video that she's the greatest HBIC of all time. The greatest Diva of our time and Lady Marmalade is the proof to that. It was rightfully a worldwide #1 hit and Christina's just stunning. I'll always keep stanning for the legend.

On a more serious note, I don't like the shade in this thread and I should report each of you for that...

TheOnlyOne

This is and likely always will be the greatest collaboration of all time.

I would love for another 4some of new age female popstars to pay homage to a song of the past. A collab between Rihanna, Katy, Nicki, and if not Gaga, Ke$ha, would be amazing beyond words.

It was a first for Mya and Kim, too.

I wish the other girls (Mya and Lil'Kim) would have stayed relevant. It would be fun seeing their stans trying to prove that their fave's part was better than Pink's or Xtina's.

Pink slays here
