rewriting of "The show must go on"


The creator of "The show must go on" is Freddie Mercury, the singer of Queen group. This song symbolizes the fact that even if everything is bad, the show continues. Freddie Mercury wrote this song when he was affected by the Aids. The words are rich of allusions and metaphors, is the sign of the future tragedy. At the end, the lyrics mention the determination to leave : « I have to find the will to carry on… on with the show »

~ I love this song!!


Moulin Rouge : (2001) The song was one of many used in the film Moulin rouge! performed by Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman.

~ I think, this version of "The show must go on" it is not so bad !












This Song was sung too by Gregory Lemarchal (French Singer).
"The show must go on" was simbolic to him because he was affected by a serious desease. It was a way to make him stronger face to the sickness. 

~ For me, it's great version too, but it is not my kind of music.








Finally, "The show must go on" was covered by a rock group : Karelia. Group members say : "Get started on the perfect tube for excellence as The Show Must Go On is a very hard challenge." But they wanted to pay homage to the original version, while trying to put our "sauce". 

~ I like the metal or rock music, in general, but here, I don't really like this rewriting; I think that emotion is not transmitting.
