I thought this video was amazing. If anyone found any fault in the video, even though costumes were not 100% historically accurate, I'm a bit annoyed at what people said about Pink being built like a man or Christina not having hips. Also that the costumes were weird or too slutty and I have this to say: IT'S THE MOULIN ROUGE! After reading up about the Moulin Rouge and cabaret, I thought the costumes really captured the garish and extravagent core of Moulin Rouge. They were over the top, raunchy, as were the four women who gave a marvellous performance. But back to the women, it doesn't matter if Pink is built like a man (I think she's gorgeous) because you didn't have to be the most gorgeous woman to be at the Moulin Rouge. They had women who were obese, had Dwarfism, gaps in their teeth, etc. The important thing they looked for in a woman was if they were comfortable on stage with tons of sexuality and could put on an amazing show, which these four women did so in my opinion, they all deserve to be in this video and shouldn't be bashed in any which way. Moulin Rouge lives on.

I'm only 11 and me and my friends did a dance to 'Lady Marmalade' and we learnt the words and sung our own part. I was Pink, Rosie was Christina, Olivia was Mya and Aisha as Lil'Kim. I had never seen the dance before and when i saw it on the music channel i thought it was not to bad but some bits were not as good as i hoped.
Mya starts the song off well, she looks good and classy and shehas the right amount of make-up not like Pink.
Pink had too much mascara on, im surprised she could keep her eyes open. She has no waist and is built like a man. Her white skin and a black lace does not go together, get a grip.
Lil'Kim has concrete balls as her breats but i do like the jewelry she wears. Also the blonde hair does not go with a black women but the red certainly does.
Christina looks outstanding. I love her costume and her hair, but it wouldnt suit me. When i was watching it I paused and stared at Christina's nails and shrieked. There to small girl grow them before the whole world notices. I think that the singing and dancing is superb and i give that 10/10 but some of the costumes look ridiculous so all together i give it 8/10!!

This song is brilliant and I will be performing it on 23rd of October 2004 and I Will be Lil'Kim.

Saturday 08/28/04

The video fits the song well, and I think Mya, Pink, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera were the perfect choices. They combined their talents 2gether very well. I don't know why that guy whoever he is doesn't like this video. Maybe it was 2 sexual 4 him. I don't know, because I didn't read his whole entire long review. Why did he type out the whole video? He obviously has 2 much time on his hands. Anyway, they may be in panties, but it's a good video. And it has wat every music video needs. Creativity, good camera angles and different clothes in each scene. I'm glad they won best collaboration. I'm glad they didn't pick any people 2 be in the video that don't have the best vocals, like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. They're both good dancers, but they can't sing as well as the people in this video.

Friday 08/27/04

this video was so awsome!! These women are so beautiful and classy that it makes my eyes bleed. Mya looked soooooo gorgeous, i thought she was the most beautiful person in the whole video.Shes so damn sexy Jeasus Christ!!! I have no clue what happend to Christina's hair but she looked like she stuck her finger in a light socket. That was the only issue i had with this video but other than that 4 stars! This video was such a good rendition of the orininal song, i like this one more than the original. What the hell was with that guy who gave us the entire transcript for the video?! He's off his rocker if he thinks this video sucks. Well to sum it all up this video rocks the house and Mya needs to call me!!!!! YOU GO GIRLS!!!!!!!

PLEASE!" hates it so much! Then she copied everything off another web page (Which... i can tell you must have been so much of a social thrill for this person!). god's sake.

Anyway, the video was fantastic and very classy. congratulations for it going so well! Thank you very much to Christina, pink, Mya and Lil' Kim for making such a sexy statement!

Friday 09/12/03

Missy Elliot, the new Queen Latifah, acts as our pimp and spiritual guide through this sexcapade. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" she shouts. "Welcome to the Moulin Rouge." Moulin Rouge is the upcoming Baz Lurhmann musical starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, by the way.

The red curtain opens. A staircase leads to several gaudy hearts under the illuminated words "Moulin Rouge." The curtain squeaks as the screen announces that "Lady Marmalade" is to be performed by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, and Pink. We imagine there was hella hair-pulling before the order was decided "alphabetical."

Lil' Kim is draped across a chaise longue. As she snaps she starts to rap, "Hey, sisters. Soul sisters. Let me see that flow, sisters." Lil' Kim's lipstick is like an oil spill.

Christina Aguilera is trying to hide her face from the camera, but her skank goes on. She's got some chunky nose piercing that looks like a piece of popcorn stuck to her face. Her lips are lined darker than her lipstick (a look that screams, "Blowjobs. Apply Here."). Her eyelashes are covered in glitter. Hot pink eye shadow. Some dark pubic hair-looking things are poking out from under the crimped bleached-blonde hair on her head. It's scary.

In the dark, Mya sings with a feather in her hair. [Insert your own "Macaroni" joke here because we can't think of a good one.]

Pink looks behind her so all we see is pink hair and obnoxious cleavage.

The shot pulls back slightly on Christina so we can now see that the pubic hair is actually a hairnet bandana around her forehead. Isn't that classier? Almost as classy as the fingerless purple satin gloves she's sporting.

The song is about to kick in and Mya is still in the dark. We see the stage lights get brighter around her as Lil' Kim begins to moan. Mya stands up slowly until the camera is only on her ass. Mya juts it forward to the sound of a guitar and walks away from us.

Mya has the first verse, and is now strutting towards us singing. We're assuming everyone already knows "Lady Marmalade," so we don't have to explain the lyrics. Mya is ready for "The Cell Block Tango" number in Chicago. She's got on red hot pants over black tights. Her black shirt is mostly see-through. Feathers. Some sort of chain is wrapped around her hand and she flings it as she walks. You only notice the swing of the cooch, though, so describing her outfit seems retarded. Mya turns around and squats so the screen fills with satin ass. Satin Ass is also the name of our thirty-fifth album. Mya now holds up a rider's crop and pulls it in and out of her encircled thumb and forefinger, signifying the thrust of a penis into a vagina. She then opens the purple lips on her face to lick her teeth. She pushes her body forward with a side-to-side motion and angles her breasts towards us as if they are yearning to be free from the corset she's caged them in.

To continue the imagery, Mya is now in a blue dress. We see her from behind as two women furiously pull at the strings of Mya's corset, trying to get her waist as small as possible. The two corset women are plump and pale, so there's no possible way one could stop looking at Mya's ass for even one small second. Mya herself has to turn around to touch her own ass because it's just out there begging to be touched.

Cut to Mya from behind. She's leaning forward and wiggling her ass.

Mya's ass, in silhouette, wiggles and asks us to spank her. Mya's ass is coming out with its own album this fall, by the way.

Mya's ass, along with Mya's face, continues to wiggle.

Mya finally stands up and strokes her skin with her rider's crop. She then gitchy-gitchy-ya-yas herself by wiggling her breasts, holding her hands in a triangular shape around her vagina, and looking away on the beat, to keep a small amount of her demure composure while offering up her fingered triangle.

A peep-show screen rises, and Mya is gyrating her hips and opening her mouth toward us. Her fingers have now closed around the triangle, and it appears the only opening Mya is now offering us is inside her mouth.

Back view of Mya wiggling as she gitchy-gitchy-ya-yas again. The camera moves in front of Mya and she spreads her legs for us at the knees. She then uses a back-motion in her ass to stand herself back up.

Close-up on the feather.

Mya walks closer to us again and twirls her chain. She touches her own mocha-choca-lattah-ya-ya and smiles at us.

Cut to Mya as she sassily kicks the pale and pasty twins off her ass and twirls around to show us that she's not wearing a blue dress with corset, but rather a blue girdle with unleashed garters. That brazen hussy.Mya leans down to us as she gyrates every muscle in her body to sing the words "Lady Marmalade." She then wiggles down and out of our view, because that's how she usually says goodnight to people.

Not finished, Mya then goes into her "voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir" by putting one hand in the air, one hand on her breasts, one hand on her vagina, turning demurely away, and then grinding into her own hand on her crotch. The peep show window lowers.

Pink is leaning forward, still amazed at her own cleavage.

Lil' Kim stares at us from underneath orange hair.

Mya touches her own breasts and heaves.

Christina is too busy teasing her crimped blonde wig. Her mouth is huge, people.

Mya then smacks her own ass so hard that you can see one of her fingers almost bust a seam. Her thighs jolt from the force of the smack. We are watching porn, yo.

Mya's peep show window closes again, and it's time for Pink. She walks up with her verse wearing a black top hat, a black metal bikini, and black fingerless gloves that go all the way up her arms. She opens her legs on a chair to show us that, indeed, she's all pink.

Cut to Pink in a boudoir, motioning to us from underneath her blonde and pink curls to follow her to the canopy bed. She's wearing black mesh and not much else. Her long black fingernails wiggle.

Silhouette shot of Pink straddling a chair.

Pink touches her own breast and holds her other hand up next to her face. In the silhouette, it's pretty obvious she's actually Freddie Krueger. We have that same scared feeling, anyway. Pink spreads her legs.

Pink leans her breasts closer to us and tries to hold her eyes open despite all of the mascara.
Pink wiggles on her chair and puts her hands as close to Coochland as possible. She pulls a black scarf from out of her vagina. What? She does. It's not there and then it's coming out of her crotch. You tell us where she got it, then. Pink wraps the fabric around her fist and then punches it out of her way as she steps on her stool to open her legs wider. She gitchy-gitchy-ya-ya-da-das her titties and then holds her crotch while she rocks back and forth on her hands. Still holding herself, she curls her lips at us and then kicks the stool back behind her. She never lets go of herself. So talented. Close up on Pink's fingers stroking her crotch as she gitchy-gitchy-ya-yas here.

On her bed, Pink holds her breasts and moans at us.

Then Pink's onstage, fingering us to come closer to her exposed stomach. She mocha-choca-lattah-ya-ya' her arm, strokes her tattoo, and then slowly grinds her ass on the camera. There's a lot of pink, here.

Exhausted from her own sexual energy, Pink gets off her bed and touches her hair.

As she lowers herself to the stage while holding onto her left boob, you have to notice Pink's kick-ass boots. Her skank-ass black nails with fire decals have got to go, though. Pink touches her hat, her breast, her hat, her arm, her breast, her knee.

Lil' Kim purses her lips at us.

Christina stares at us from under her drug haze.

Pink holds both breasts and offers them to us with a wiggle.

Lil' Kim holds a fan while some arm gets into the shot.

Pink is vamping it up.

Mya can't help closing her eyes and rocking her breasts around in her hands as she asks her French question.

Pink moans and lowers her vagina into her hands. She strokes her hat band.

Lil' Kim is now in a short blonde curly wig and a little gold thing. She's wearing so much jewelry around her neck it's amazing she can keep her head up. Her gold hot pants have a tulle train. Her thigh-highs are stuffed with cash. Her gold gloves go up past her elbows. She spanks herself and then thrusts her hips forward so hard that you can see that the shorts don't really move when she does. It's almost like she's wearing a diaper
Lil' Kim's back on the chaise longue, fanning herself. Someone walks up and offers her something, but we cut to a close-up on Lil' Kim before we can see what it is.

Diaper Kim throws wads of cash at us as we move our heads to the right so we can see inside her vagina.

Chaise Kim sniffs roses and holds the stems like...man, we're sure you can already imagine. She tosses them behind her and wiggles her head to us.

Someone is still not done putting eye makeup on Christina. That's amazing.

Diaper Kim kicks her own ass with her spiked boot.

Chaise Kim is looking through some offered jewelry.

Diaper Kim has her arms over her head. She wiggles for us.

Chaise Kim strokes her own thigh with some money.

Diaper Kim bounces.

Chaise Kim grabs a glass of champagne as she tells us that we'd "better get that dough, sisters."

Diaper Kim shows us her armpit.

Chaise Kim sips her glass.

Diaper Kim gitchy-gitchy-ya-yas so hard that we're terrified. We have seen all sorts of girlie parts on that woman now.

Chaise Kim doesn't want anything to do with the diamond mocha-choca-latta-ya-ya that was just offered in front of her, and then she decides that she does.

Diaper Kim holds up the Triangle Fingers in front of her crotch and grinds.

Chaise Kim has a new necklace.

Diaper Kim either needs to be changed or is very distracted by just how large she has to go Triangle Fingers around her crotch.

Diaper Kim stands back up so we can see her ass one more time.
Pink is still touching her own hat. She arches back and down in silhouette.

They're almost done primping Christina up, and so she starts diva-ing out.

Pink touches herself. Mya straddles her crop. Mya touches her chin. Pink touches her ass. Kim strokes a couch arm. Pink grabs her crotch. Christina squats and looks at the woman who is touching her ass. She juts her ass out towards the woman and the woman gives it a half-hearted spanking.

Close-up on Christina Aguilscareus. She flips her wig around, making pasty girl giggle.

Christina shows us how fast she can wiggle her own tongue.

Oh, how scary. Christina comes lumbering towards us on the peep-show stage. With all of that fake hair and those bony-ass legs, she looks like a giant mannish lollipop come to life, ready to kill us all. There is nothing even slightly sexy about this. She tries to touch herself where her breasts are supposed to be, but even John Waters can't handle this display. The camera just tries to focus underneath Christina and on the curve of her ass so we aren't so scared, but we can't get that image of those dead eyes and those missing breasts out of our heads.

Christina strokes her ass and then grinds her crotch on the camera. It isn't working.

Diva Christina throws some makeup off her vanity.

Peep Show Christina holds her hips and then rips the gloves off her arms.

Diva Christina throws some powder into the air.

Peep Show Christina looks like Perry Farrell in a wig.

Cut to the four girls on the heart-shaped stage. Pink is walking toward us sideways, so we can still see both inside her crotch and a hint of nipple.

Handlers are applying more makeup to Diva Christina.

Peep Show Christina has green and purple streaks inside her wig, and she looks like Fraggle Rock's Trash Heap. She tries using her glove as something against which to stroke, but the glove looks like it weighs more than she does. We're captivated by its curves.
Diva Christina gets even more makeup. She shoves a finger into her mouth. She gets excited at the high point of the song and grabs her breasts.

All four women gitchy-gitchy-ya-ya around, holding every single private part they have. They grind on their fingers and then wiggle their crotches into their hands. They gitchy-gitchy-ya-ya down and spread their legs for us at the knees.

The peep-show window goes up to show Mya as Diva Christina is still getting hair and makeup.

Peep Show Christina is taking off the same glove again as she mocha-choca-lattah-ya-yas. The other girls are holding their heads and pumping their crotches at us from every angle.

There are few things scarier than the moments following: we see inside Christina's mouth, Christina's bony body jutting out the curve of an ass, the terrifying moment when you realize that it's an arm and not a pole, and the purple fingerless gloves so close to going inside her mouth. Christina pretends to pose randomly as she shoves her fingers in her crotch, her mouth, her tenuous hold on her career.

The four continue to skank out as the rose petals keep falling and the four rotate their hips at the director as fast as they can, each trying to out air-fuck the others. Pink is losing, so we close-up on her pleading to the camera. And then the others. And then the four still desperately trying to out-diva each other. And then Diva Christina is in our faces again. Whoa, now she looks like a cross between Divine and Marilyn Manson. We're sure it's not what she was going for. At least we hope not. Pink sits on her bed and fucks a pillow. Lil' Kim stares at the camera, trying to figure out where she is. Peep Show Christina gives a disco point into the air; she looks like she's in The Lion King with all the fake hair. There are more extensions in this video than in the MIT computer lab. Christina's sad excuse for hips jut out at us; we think one of them breaks from the motion.

Shots of the four with the peep show screens going up and down on the four, ho-ing out one at a time. Then Pimp Missy points at us and says "Christina." Poor Missy. All reduced to the Joel Grey role in this video because she has thighs. Christina bends over in front of her courtesans, but no one fucks her from behind, so she pouts.
Next Missy says, "Pink," and Pink, looking like someone recently came on her stomach, starts mooing up and down the scale, standing on her bed.

Missy throws her hands in a cross and says, "Lil' Kim," like you know she just hates the bitch. Diaper Kim stands in the peep-show window. Then Chaise Kim is on her fuck-couch with her red hair on.

Missy: "Mya." Mya with her feather slides up the camera and then puts her ass dangerously close to the lens.

All four whore again as then Missy says either "wild wild women" or "where the fuck is the ten thousand you said I was getting to play the pimp on this shit?" as Mya once again, in case we didn't see it the first time, drops her ass onto the camera. In the background, Pink realizes she wasn't supposed to be on the stage for this shot, and tries to run off.

Missy, not really knowing what she's saying, tells us, "Moulin Rouge." The four bitches skank up the stairs on the stage set, and Missy says her name, and then the camera cranes into the air and the girls sing the title and then all flap their vaginas as fast as they can to try to fly away. Whore shots. More whore shots as they all struggle to hold the last note. Mya shoves her ass out in every goddamn shot. Paul Hunter must love him some Mya ass. We finally close on a front shot of the ladies and fade to black, the last image burned into our retinas: Mya's ass. And isn't that really what it's all about in the end?

Pun intended.
Video is a Cabaret for
Christina, Lil' Kim, Mya, and Pink

Christina, Lil' Kim, Mya, and Pink have teamed up to bring their collaboration on the '70s disco hit 'Lady Marmalade' to life in a cabaret-style video.

The clip for the song, which was originally recorded by '70s group LaBelle - who took 'Lady Marmalade' to #1 in 1975 - was shot in Los Angeles with director Paul Hunter (Jennifer Lopez, Christina's 'Come On Over Baby').

'The video's going to be dope,' Christina said. 'We're going to have cabaret costumes. It's something you've never seen from us before. So, it's going to be fun.' Pink predicted the clip will be like a 'circus on acid.' Mya said the video 'has to be crazy' to match up with the Baz Luhrmann-directed movie 'Moulin Rouge,' which is set in Paris in 1899. The song is the lead single from the film's soundtrack.

The art direction will merge a modern hip-hop sensibility with a historic French cabaret setting - thanks to some props and costumes actually used in the movie, according to Hunter's office. Tina Landon (Christina, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez) will choreograph the dance-oriented clip.

Missy Elliott, who produced the song, will also make an appearance. Missy called it 'very fun,' and says 'Pink went in and did her part, Christina went in and did her part and all of them got to sit there and listen to each person. I believe it became, not competitive, but more motivating because you had great singers and everybody wanted to make sure that their vocals were 100 per cent so they gave 100 per cent. Christina is one of the best vocalists. Somewhere between Whitney and Mariah. She's a tiny, smart, soft and smooth girl.'

The vocals on the track were produced by 'the fabulous Mr. Ron Fair' (as Christina would say).

Christina said she embraced the idea of working with Elliott, Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim on the track as soon as it was pitched to her. 'I'm a fan of all of theirs, and just to be in the same song doing something with them - collaborating, which I love to do, is a really big thing for me,' she said. 'And it's cool to be out with a new song before my next album comes out, too. It makes me happy that it turned out so well and that everyone likes it. It is fun to sing covers sometimes and see what new slants you can put on them. It is always nice to work with other girls your age who do what you do. We swapped stories.'

Christina, who made a splash by turning up in a frizzy wig to the Blockbuster Awards in LA, got turned on to wearing costumes while filming the video for 'Lady Marmalade'. Christina was voted Favorite Female Artist at the awards.

In the video for the song the stars get into the spirit of the 19th century Parisian nightclub scene by wearing suitable attire. 'I loved dressing up in the fishnets and high heels. It gave me a real buzz. It was fun wearing the costumes,' explains Christina. 'They were like outrageous showgirl clothes with over-the-top jewels so it was fun. We had a great time together. We supported each other 100 per cent. I really enjoy all their music. It was a blast to be a part of it and to be working with all of them.'
Christina embraced the idea of working with Elliott, Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim on the track as soon as it was pitched to her.

"I'm a fan of all of theirs, and collaborating, which I love to do, is a really big thing for me," she said.
More on 'Lady Marmalade'
From Music Digest:

Christina: Queen of Creative

Pop goddess Christina Aguilera knows how to keep her fans engaged and wondering. Aguilera has changed her look for all her videos and appearances to date. This latest project, 'Lady Marmalade' is no different. Aguilera's vocals on the song are outstanding and eerily similar to those on the original.

Christina added, 'I love collaborating first of all, especially with artists who I think would be fun and whose music I admire like Lil' Kim. Something new, something different. Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott is extremely talented. Mya, Pink - it was so fun. It really, really was. To be working with a bunch of females and getting in the studio. Making that video was really, really fun too, being part of the whole thing - the show jewelry and the lingerie.'

Aguilera, Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim transform themselves into gothic madames of the street for the video. While many will put down Aguilera for taking on the more mature look, many will realize this is her first step in separating herself from her slightly dull female pop counterparts. She has opened herself up to new avenues in the music world and will most likely remain a fixture in the years to come.

From In Style:

In the video for 'Lady Marmalade' - a cover of Patti LaBelle's hit recorded for Moulin Rouge - Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink vamp it up as 'turn-of-the-century cancan dancers working at a peep show,' says director Paul Hunter. 'We wanted to be beautiful and fierce in our nakedness!' jokes Pink.

Stylist Trish Summerville outfitted the quintet in corsets, bustles and garters inspired by the film but 'funked up the period costumes with modern shoes, hair and makeup.' Also as colorful as a Toulouse-Lautrec canvas: the three-day shoot. While the song describes streetwalking, the soundstage location required a bit more of the performers. 'Downtown L.A. has a lot of rats,' notes Lil' Kim. 'Sometimes we'd have to run to the set to avoid them.'

'It was all about being over the top,' says Christina. 'Big hair, big lashes, flashy nails, rhinestones galore - on the face & hair. I wanted really strong makeup," Aguilera says. 'I had pink & black shadows, rhinestone sideburns and real diamonds on the ends of my lashes.'

Clothes
'The clothes were not comfortable,' states Christina, who wore a bustier inspired by a red dress in the movie. 'the tight corsets, high lace-up boots and big bustle - I could not even sit down - were really awkward at times. I definitely waited until the last possible minute to get dressed.' Painful or not, the look worked. 'Whether it was top hats, garter belts, feathers or rhinestone head pieces,' say Christina, 'we all stood out in our own unique way.'

Hosiery
The girls got their kicks wearing sheer stockings. For similar styles, try Gerbe Passion thigh-highs, Wolford Skyline tights, Gerber Resille thigh-highs and Wolford Versailles tights with gold sparkles.

From Launch.com:

Missy Elliott and Mya talked to Launch.com about 'Lady Marmalade' as the single hit number 1 saying, 'In listening to the record, we knew that whoever sung the lightest would sing first, and Mya has the lightest voice. So Mya would sing first, and then we would gradually build because Christina has the strongest voice, so Pink would go second, and we would put Kim in the middle, with the little rhyming part, and then we would let Christina take it out along with everybody else. So that's how we were able to fit who would go where.'

Mya said that working with Christina, Lil' Kim, and Pink was a positive experience. 'It went really, really well,' she said. 'We were all in the studio together, so we got along, no cat fighting. But it's a hot song,' Mya said of the foursome's re-recording of '70s girl group LaBelle's hit. 'It's a great thing - females getting along for a change.'

The original 'Lady Marmalade' hit #1 in 1975.

'Lady Marmalade' wins two MTV Video Music Awards

The powerhouse pop/hip hop quartet of Christina, Mya, Lil' Kim and Pink won two awards at the 18th annual MTV Video Music Awards.

Paul Hunter directed the video remake of 'Lady Marmalade' which won two of its six nominations, taking Best Video of the Year and Best Video from a Film. 'Lady Marmalade' was also nominated for: Best Dance Video, Best Pop Video, Best Choreography in a Video, and Best Art Direction in a Video.

This gives Christina a career total of eleven nominations for the VMAs. This is the first MTV VMA win for Christina, Pink and Mya. Lil Kim received a VMA in 1999.

'I guess the big hair paid off!' joked Christina. 'Oh, my god, you guys. I wanted one so bad. Thanks to Paul Hunter for making an incredible video. Trish Somerville for designing the whole video. You did a great job. Who else, who else? Tina Landon, the choreographer.'

Christina Aguilera was interviewed with Lil' Kim, and Pink on the Video Music Awards red carpet where they were asked if they'd work together again. Christina said, 'Of course, this is the closest I get to be in a girl group.'

Christina continued, 'I can honestly say that I was going to be utterly disappointed if I didn't win something with the girls. I am so proud of this video. It was so much fun - we had a blast. Honestly this is the most fun video I've ever made.'

Pop's diva dream team stuck together all night long. Arriving in one limo, the ladies interviewed together, sat together (right behind VMA vanguard winners U2) and presented together for Best Male Video. The femme fab four even partied together, only splitting up the gang in the wee hours of the morning at a VMA after-party.

When MTV's red carpet reporter Chris Connelly asked them how they would split up the moonman if they won, Christina joked, 'They better give us each one of our own!'

The 2001 VMAs were held on Thursday, September 6, 2001 in New York City at the Metropolitan Opera House. The show first aired on MTV.

Tuesday 07/22/03

i really loved it! it was my favorite video along with other people i know. i love how they all expressed trhemselves. it was great!

Tuesday 07/15/03

I think the video is absoloutly brilliant! I love the original version and i was really glad when they produced a new version.
I thought it was good that they stuck mainly to the original lyrics, and adding the rap did modernise it considerably, which i thought would be great as it would appeal to more and more people.
The costumes were very very believable and really express the song's character, Lady Marmalade.
I don't think they could have picked four more women to play the parts well enough, and i was pleased for Mya, as she probably isn't as big as the others.
I think it was an excellent mix of singers and great dance routines.
Well done Missy Elliot, and thanks to Christina, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya.
