chose him with the intention of entrusting him with a cover Explanation: of the Elton John classic, sung as a duet with McGregor... I suppose a "riproposta" to be a cover version. Angela |

reword the entire sentence Explanation: I think we need to reword the entire sentence so it makes sense in English. I hope I interpreted it correctly. I know it is referring to Alesandro Safina's duet with Ewan McGregor ("Your Song" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack). In fact, he was chosen by Baz Luhrmann, the same producer, who put his faith in him to cover Elton John's classic "Your Song", as a duet with Elton John. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-11-03 01:18:30 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry... I mean to write... \"as a duet with McGregor\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-11-03 01:33:27 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another interpretation: In fact, he was chosen by producer Baz Luhrmann himself who put his faith in him to cover Elton John\'s classic \"Your Song\", as a duet with McGregor. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-11-03 13:03:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another way of putting it: In fact, he was approached by Baz Luhrmann, the same producer, who chose him to cover the Elton John classic \"Your Song\", as a duet with McGregor. |
