A new twist on an old classic?? this VH1 production may not look like the Dickens favorite with Alistair Sim?? but it's true to its spirit. Vanessa Williams is "ny Scrooge??"a miserly Diana Ross-type singer. She was once part of 1980s trio Desire?? but Marli Jacob (TLC's Chilli) was killed in a car crash and Ebony abandoned Terry for a solo career. While in New York for a "harity" concert--designed to benefit her more than anyone else--Ebony is visited by four spirits. First comes Marli?? followed by the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Suddenly Susan's Kathy Griffin)?? Present (Duran Duran's John Taylor)?? and Future. The last is a tragically humorous episode of Behind the Music?? featuring cameos by Nile Rodgers and Brian McKnight. It's enough to make a diva change her wicked ways--some of them?? at any rate. Williams sings several songs?? notably " Ride" and "Heartquake." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
