I didnt realize until after i listened to the whole soundtrack, that i could've created all the music for this movie myself. All i had to do was open up acid pro and slow down the track to about half their tempos and then sing over each like a guy trying to sing like a girl, or sing them like a girl trying to sing like a guy( Dana Fuchs...you suck). The Best thing about the beatles is that every song they recorded was the best the song would ever sound(btw they all sound great, with the exeption of a few, not every song is amazing). So beatles song that are covered by other artists are not that good, especially if the people covering them is pretty much musical theatre! Hey Jude? ruined! Dear Prudence? destroyed! I Am the Walrus? who the hell hired Bono to sing this??? double ruined? the only track i find myself liking is "come together", which is sung by Joe Cocker. A man who lived and performed when the beatles were at their best and he seems to be the most credible artist on the soundtrack, since it seems its save to assume he understood the feelings of the music made during the time of the beatles, plus he has covered beatles songs in the past. But this rendition of "come together" is in no way his best work.
It is sad to see that these songs were made, but i can only blame what is left of the beatles for letting this terrible thing to happen. History shows that the beatles have always been tight with their music and nothing happens to it without their personal consent, i mean thy wont even sell their music on itunes! Yoko Ono prolly signed the music off right away, thinking it was interesting and "arty" not like she was a great artist. the same prolly happened with gearoge harrisons wife. Ringo normally went the flow with any collective beatle decision. I hate to think that the man Paul went along with this...but i feel better with the scenario i came up with for why he agreed to this....He prolly needed the money to pay for his divorce with his ex-wife, who didnt do all the great things he did, but with the right lawyer, got half of what he earned. So i like to think this movie is here to pay off his divorce, but still that doesnt sit right with me, then again none of this does.
