I tell you what the world need right about now: a remake of Grease starring Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, and Cheryl Cole. I’m kidding, of course, the world needs anything but that, but Justin Bieber knows what we want, and would like to see it happen.
He reportedly told The Sun:
“It would be a lot of fun. It’s been talked about a lot over the years but it would be awesome to play Danny.”
“I would go for Miley Cyrus [as Sandy] without hesitation. She can sing, dance and act. I’d want some great people to star in it. Wouldn’t Susan Boyle make an amazing Principal McGee? We’d just need to write it into the script that she broke into song. I would love to include Cheryl Cole as well. She would look great in the Rydell High cheerleading uniform.”
I say “reportedly” because The Sun has been known to, well, report stuff that isn’t quite true or as it seems in the past. Still, those stories usually quote one of those oh-so-useful ’sources’ that can’t ever be traced to either confirm or deny they said what is attributed to them. This story, on the other hand, quotes Bieber directly, so maybe it is true.
However, that doesn’t change the fact that this is a truly terrible idea. For starters who wants or needs a remake of Grease? The original stands up to scrutiny to this day, and High School Musical and Glee have succeeded Grease, providing a new generation with more singing, dancing cheese than they could ever need.
Even if Grease were to be remade, would anyone over the age of 14 want Bieber in the lead role? I’d guess not, unless he fancies getting dressed up and playing Sandy.
