Elton Sings for the Holidays

Because few people in this world don't want to sing along with the songs from Flashdance or The Sound of Music, here's one from the "Why Didn't They Think of This Before" department: a concert featuring popular songs from hit films, sung by some of the music industry's heavy-hitters.

The holiday season special, taping at Hollywood's Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards and American Idol) for an airdate in December on CBS, will feature the seemingly everywhere-at-once Elton John alongside A-listers like Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and country superstar Carrie Underwood.

But who'll sing what? For real entertainment, here's hoping that they play against type and give "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" to Underwood and the theme from Smokey and the Bandit to Elton.
