If you love the music of Cole Porter, you'll be aghast at the "stunt casting" used to assemble performers for this soundtrack. If you are unfamiliar with the Porter songbook, for God's sake start with Lee Wiley or Ella Fitzgerald's interpretations, not here!Performances range from merely okay (Natalie Cole) to outright disastrous (Elvis Costello). A version of "Begin The Beguine" transposed into an inappropriate key by Sheryl Crow does not "transform" the song so much as "disfigure" it.Far from making these already immortal songs "accessible" for a "new generation," this soundtrack trashes some of the greatest popular songs ever composed. What a shameful wasted opportunity, when there is in fact a "new generation" of jazz- and cabaret-inspired singers who could have done a much, much better job.
