It's a tale as old as time: When you want to promote the love ballad from your film, you bring in two hot artists for an epic duet. And so, Disney is once again calling on some big names for its live-action remake of "John Legend for the gig this time around.

While we heard snippets of Grande and Legend singing the film's famous titular theme song in contributing a new song to the remake's soundtrack) and Peabo Bryson for the 1991 animated classic; but then again, what else could possibly compete?

This version is a serviceable cover, however, and Grande and Legend's voices complement each other quite nicely. The backing orchestration sounds a bit too much like elevator music for our taste (why is it so tinny?), but that's not the singers' fault.

Of course, the real test of the remake's musical mettle will come when can still perform it beautifully), so it will certainly be hard to top. We're looking forward to seeing the new cast try, though.

"Beauty and the Beast" is due in theaters on March 17.
