If 'Moulin Rouge' were released today
I've heard 'Moulin Rouge - Lady Marmalade' so much recently and it got me thinking, who would be on this record if it had been made today?
Pink is the only one on the record who still has a successful music career. Funnily enough I think it would pretty much be the line-up of 'Bang Bang' but with one more person involved in the Christina role. |

Katy Perry Rihanna Beyonce Nicki Minaj (or maybe Iggy Azalea) |

See I instantly ruled out all of those because they're HUGE! At the time pink and Christina had released one album each, Lil Kim was a feature girl and Mya was...available.

Beyonce wouldnt work with any of the others, she wouldnt 'lower' herself I'm sure.
As for who would be on it, I agree, it would have to be current B- and C- list female singers. Ariana Grande would be there I guess as Mya, possibly also Iggy Azalea as the rapper, maybe Miley Cyrus in a raunchy outfit to take Pink's role, and then we'd need a black girl as Christina to balance the cast out - Jennifer Hudson, maybe? or Fantasia? Struggling to think of B- and C- list African-American singers who havent been around a long time and so would be too old and spoil the feel of the thing. |

The equivalent today might be Ariana Grande as the fairly well known 'name', Sia as the 'up and coming', and then pick any two female solo 'R n' B' artists out of a hat to make up the numbers. If you've already heard of them, reject them as they're too well known. |

P!nk: Charli XCX (More credible, not typical pop)
Mya: Tinashe (Less well known R&B with a sultry voice) Lil' Kim: Azealia Banks/Nicki Minaj (Out there sexy rapper) Christina Aguilera: Demi Lovato (Well liked by teens, big voice) |

I'm sure Nicki Minaj would wangle her way in somehow

Pink hadn't developed as an artist back then. Her label forced her into the R&B genre, but she eventually fought back with her second album and became the artist we all know and love today.
The lyrics in Don't let me get me really show the evolved nature of her as an artist between her first and second album. She was thankfully a short lived example of how controlling labels want their artists to be. LA told me, "You'll be a pop star, All you have to change is everything you are." Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears She's so pretty, that just ain't me Doctor Doctor won't you please perscribe me something A day in the life of someone else, I'm a hazzard to myself You would never see the Pink of today doing a song like that or even wearing the clothes she was wearing in that video. |

I think if it was released today it would do pretty well. It might not get as much airplay though, as radios tend to be bind into contracts that only allow them to play dull r&b songs and the occasional 80's hit. But Pink and Britney are still relevant. Christina is fine when shes collaborating with other artists, and the others have their niche fanbases.

They'd probably want it to be a bit different, so maybe they could do it with male artists? What about: Sam Smith, Adam Levine, Jason Derulo and some random rapper, I dunno Macklemore or Whizz Khalifa or something.

Mya - Lea Michele, she has a sweet voice and a nice face, but really just so I can free up Ariana to be Christina!
Pink - Jessie J she has a unique, recognisable voice and can be tomboyish Lil Kim - Iggy Azalea. Nicki Minaj is too obvious, and too established now. Iggy would probably be sultry like the other girls rather than in your face like Lil' Kim Christina - Ariana Grande, just because she's the only girl remaining with a big voice whos remotely suitable |

Christina - Leona Lewis (Will show a different side to Leona, has the voice to match)
Pink - Jessie J (Distinct enough voice, can play the tomboyish character similar to pink) Mya - Ariana Grande (Just breaking through, perfect for the sultry voice) Lil Kim - Nicki Minaj (The rapper, the fierce character) As you can see, it is the Bang Bang line up plus Leona Lewis. This would be a smash hit today with these ladies leading the way. |
