And not also have studio versions?
'Shallow', the song in the trailers and the most popular one, only has the live movie version. They don't have a studio version. Also the song 'Always Remember Us This Way' and 'Black Eyes'.
Why the hell don't they have both? And instead of having both, the CD includes a 10 second clip, a 14 second clip and others like that that are just lines from the movie and what not...How f***ing dumb.

And his suicide, to me, came out of nowhere because besides being a drunk, he never showed signs of feeling the need to do that. |

I won't bother and now if there is a suicide plot, instead of an accidental death, that is just being pc and perhaps even phony. |

But I dont get it why would u call the original ending pc and phony? I am only going by the comments of what happens to main character in this reboot. I have only seen the Streisand\Kristofferson version and he dies in an accident. He was a drunk and was drink driving. Suicide is a relevant and controversial topic today and it has been commented that there was nothing in his character portrayal that indicated he would do something like this. I was thinking perhaps they thought it would have made more impact to make it a suicide death, even if there was no nuance conveyed regarding his action. It sounds like a sensationalistic approach to take.
Found this in the trivia for the 76' version:
I guess this worked much better, than just making something about suicide that might not come across as entirely feasible in relation to the character. Since I haven't seen the Gaynor or Garland films, I can't comment on how the male leads come across and if it is believable. |

You did comment you agreed with another poster, when it was commented he showed no signs of it. In reality, I think there are always signs, people just don't want to always see them, it is too confronting. Even if they are recognized, what can one do anyway? It would have to be approached in a very very careful and tactful manner.
I like the 76' version of A Star Is Born for nostalgia purposes. I don't really care that much for the drunk, self-absorbed, brooding John Norman Howard character, or the phony and manipulating egotistical performance of Streisand as Ester Hoffman. The film is a bit over-long and even shabby in parts, but for Streisand's star power alone—and I do like her singing voice—and the concert footage, she does manage to make it work for the most part. It was a vanity project overall, born out of a narcissistic mindset. I think The Rose - 79' is a much better and stronger picture about the life of rock stars, with the indomitable and astonishing presence of Bette Midler, who was so raw and real, she left no emotional stone unturned.
As for this reboot, I am not a fan of Bradley Cooper or Lady Gaga, but with the biopic of Freddie Mercury coming out, I suppose I have a bit of a piqued interest to see it, to make comparisons to Bohemian Rhapsody.
