On the men&#8217;s side are Seal&#8217;s semi-titular   attempt at Nat King Cole and Chris Isaak&#8217;s Iglesi-esque &#8220;Besame Mucho.&#8221;   Though Elton John&#8217;s contribution is an original, &#8220;The Heart of Every Girl&#8221;   fits in best because it seems to be almost self-parody. Even Trevor Horn&#8217;s   orchestral takes on &#8220;Istanbul&#8221; and &#8220;Sh Boom&#8221; are languid. Across campus,   featured performer Tori Amos does her best to recapture the glamour of &#8220;You   Belong to Me&#8221; and &#8220;Murder She Says&#8221; while Macy Gray croaks her way through   &#8220;Santa Baby.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>  Celine Dion&#8217;s Streisand-esque &#8220;Bewitched&#8221; might get by if Babs   herself did not cap the collection with a tenderly touching take on Charlie   Chaplin&#8217;s &#8220;Smile.&#8221; While Kelly Rowland&#8217;s &#8220;Beginning to See the Light&#8221; is   rather flat, fellow tween queen Mandy Moore&#8217;s subtly theatrical &#8220;Secret   Love&#8221; is reminiscent of the likes of Bernadette Peters and makes for one of   the strongest showings on this hyper-retro soundtrack. <\/font>    <\/p>\n<p><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"1\">\u00a9 2004, M.
