Following the release of the film by less than a year,
The Greatest Showman: Reimagined
features covers of the 2017 musical's Billboard 200-topping soundtrack by marquee names in pop, R&B, rap, and country-pop. After opening with
Panic! At the Disco
's take on the carnival-barker anthem "The Greatest Show" (reprised later by
Pentatonix
), artists spanning
P!nk
,
Years & Years
Zac Brown Band
, and
MAX
and
Ty Dolla $ign
try their hand at selections, with the entire original track list represented. Elsewhere,
Kelly Clarkson
does an impressive version of
Loren Allred
's soaring ballad "Never Enough," and
Kesha
attempts "This Is Me," made famous by vocal powerhouse
Keala Settle
. A remix of the latter song featuring
Settle
Missy Elliott
is an album highlight, thanks especially to
Elliott
's contribution, which includes original raps. ~ Marcy Donelson
