Sex and the City 2 Soundtrack Giveaway
By Laurie | June 1, 2010
Last Thursday night myself and two friends went out opening night to see Sex and the City 2.
 |
I had been a casual watcher of the show when it was on HBO, but of course I knew all about Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. Who doesn’t? I had borrowed a lot of the DVDs from another friend to get myself up to speed before going to the first one which I loved. I have to admit I was a little worried about a second go-around.
Would there be the same magic formula of fun, friendship, and fashion? And what the heck is up with Abu Dhabi? The idea of that plot line alone had me shaking in my Manola Blahniks. The desert? Are they really riding camels in THAT? I digress. |
Thanks to the One2One Network, I had also been driving around the days prior to the movie’s release listening to the Sex and the City 2 Soundtrack. I wish I could say that the Soundtrack made me feel better about how the actual movie would be, but Liza Minnelli, Cyndi Lauper, Alicia Keys, Dido, Jennifer Hudson, and a Men’s choir? I won’t even mention the cast sing-along of I Am Woman.
That’s quite a lot of diversity, and honestly a lot of the choices didn’t make sense to me. My first impression was that the R&B feel at the beginning didn’t really match the way the show had been, and there were also a lot of tracks that had a Middle Eastern feel. I get it because I knew they went to the desert, but who wants to listen to that on a Soundtrack? I did love the Ricki-Lee single Can’t Touch It that is on the movie’s trailer. It’s fun and upbeat, and I had already associated it with the movie. I also really liked the Dido song, and you can’t go wrong with True Colors by Lauper. Did I mention there are three tracks from a Men’s choir?!?!
I’m happy to say that after seeing the movie, the Soundtrack made complete sense. You’ll understand the Liza tracks and the ones by the Men’s choir. But honestly? Those moments were in less than 5 minutes of the movie and had almost nothing to do with the plot. Still, like the movie, there are still some fun moments and it is a good CD to listen to in the car.
We decided that even though the movie’s plot was a little lot recycled from the first time around, it was still fun to catch up with our four favorite friends and check out the fashion, even if it was completely inappropriate for the desert.
Want to win a copy of the Soundtrack and check it out for yourself? Leave a comment letting me know which SATC character is your favorite and why. If you can’t wait or don’t win, you can still purchase it from Amazon.
U.S and Canada only, please. The winner will be selected randomly from all valid entries on or around June 15. You must leave a comment letting me know your answer to the question above. Please also use your real first name and leave a valid way for me to contact you should you be selected as the winner. You will have 48 hours to respond before I select an alternate winner.
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I did receive a complementary copy of the soundtrack to review from One2One Network and they are also providing a copy to one of my readers. This did not influence my opinion about the movie or the soundtrack.
