If there is a celebrity I am cuckoo over, it has to be Shania Twain. And no, this is not a tribute post or anything, there is enough written about her out there for anyone interested. Its just a celebration of her return with new music...... well not new technically, as its a cover version of the classic duet, "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross - dubbed by Billboard as the the greatest duet of all time. frankly, I never cared for this song, or any of Richie's earlier stuff. In fact, I can positively say that I hate one of his most popular hits, "Hello". But I like him a whole lot more now, for coaxing Shania to do this. And needless to say, I think this one surpasses the original in every possible way. Now eagerly waiting for her new album, though I am skeptical, because this would not be produced and co-written by Mutt Lange. He might have been a scum of a person, but his compositions were definitely a big part of Shania's success, and it remains to be seen if she can deliver the same quality of music on her own, which made her one of the best selling female singers of all time with just four albums.
The video has a quintessential Shania-esque feel to it, and the vocals by both hit the right notes, with Shania slightly edging Lionel with her passionate rendition.
