Let a Classic Remain a Classic

Jermanie Dupri told MTV.com that he decided to rework the Qunicy Jones classic "Secret Garden". Let me just give you the run down, "The Secret Garden" (Sweet Seduction Suite) was recorded in 1989 by the incomparable COMPOSER Qunicy Jones. The track featured heavyweight Barry White, the King of Faslettos, El DeBarge, Newcomer Al B. Sure and James Ingram. Dupri plans to replace the ensemble with singers Usher, Trey Songz, Tyrese and Robin Thicke. There is no denying that each of these men are respected singers in their own right but do we really want to watch them butcher a classic. Jermaine Dupri may be responsible for the successes of Bow-Wow and Jagged Edge but does he have what it takes to remaster a classic?

Here's a peep at the original "Secret Garden" if you have forgotten it (or if you are not old enough to remember)
