GREAT interview with Liza in the Las Vegas Sun.
She spills major beans about SATC2 as well:
"The setup is this," Minnelli says, digging into the dish. "The thing opens with the gay guys (Stanford and Anthony) getting married, and it's wonderful and everybody in the world is there. And I marry them! Then somebody says, 'Oh Liza,' or 'Miss Minnelli?' or whatever, 'that was just lovely. It was so nice to see you; thanks for coming.' And I say, 'Oh ? oh, I'm not leaving.' And that's the setup for me to do (Beyonce's) 'Single Ladies'."
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds bizarrely hilarious enough to be fun and enjoyable? Her "Family Affair" by Mary J was no great shakes, but I think she is better suited to "Single Ladies".
As long as Liza's version is on the soundtrack I'll be happy.
She sings the first line,"All the single ladies!" if you listen to the audio clip and also comments that Ron Lewis has choreographed it so it must be a real "performance piece" and not just a throwaway joke.

Can someone tell me why the "..."Single Ladies" in SATC2" part of my thread title keeps getting deleted? "Liza sings" isn't very specific.

This sounds so bizarre that it just might be true.
I have a feeling that by the time SATC2 comes out the Single Ladies fad will be either dead or on it's way out and Liza will pound the last nail into the coffin.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Why are you saying this all as if Liza wrote the script?
That said, I am so sick of "Single Ladies." Has anybody ever actually bothered to read the lyrics to the damned thing? They're embarrassingly stupid and brand-name dropping. There is no melody. It uses repetition rather than melody to get itself stuck in your head. She is not a great singer. Why listen to it? It blows.
There, I said it.

Posted: 9/24/09 at 8:54amIf that scene isn't on YouTube, I will pay to see that awful movie just for that scene.
