I've had this on repeat. :plzstop:

Don't get me wrong, it's a perfect remake.  Mya and the others did a great job.

Kim :oof: 

But I always suspected the original idea was to have Li there instead of Mya.  I have no receipts.  Just speculating because Missy was closer to her, but maybe she was busy at the time.

Would it have fit?

We know she would have killed the look in the video.   :stressed:

It would be interesting to see Aaliyah doing something out of her usual element.

Better .. 

it sucks my E uh's career never took off really like pinks and Christina's did after

I wonder if they approached her and she turned it down. The inclusion of Mya does seem a bit random.

Mya always told the story that the Moulin Rouge sdtk was being distributed by her then label Interscope and Jimmy Iovine and Ron Fair pushed to have her because she was the main female R&B artist on the label

Mya's connection was through her label. Jimmy Iovine pushed for her to be a part of the project.

Quiet as kept, Mya is all over Lady Marmalade more than any other girl.

Mya: I got a call from my management, and it was very vague: "Hey, do you wanna do a song with a couple of females? We're looking at P!nk, Missy, Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim." I'm not sure they had everyone together, but it sounded interesting. I didn't even know what the song was. I said, "Sure, that sounds really cool, what is it about?"

And so, as time went on, I got wind of when the session might be and what time I could start studying, and it was a song I was already familiar with. I had worked with Missy Elliott on my very first album, and P!nk and I used to work with the same producers when we were like, 16 years old in Philly. I knew her as Alecia prior to P!nk, so that was pretty cool.

!!! BrandYa did all the harmonies
While ppl try to downplay her, P!nk and Xtina's vocals were turned down because they were trying to out YELL each other

Mya has the perfect hook voice

she slayed

Liy would have been dope too I'm sure 


Lazarus

I think Aaliyah would've been dope too.

If anybody out of place or random, it is Pink imo.

It was Kim actually, since she had to write a verse to a song that was originally all singing 

penny.

Why didn't Missy get a verse? Was it bc they didn't want her in a garter belt!

penny.

I agree. Pink slayed but the idea seems random..
