00:00Who here loves a good musical biopic? Show of hands.
00:05Yeah, I thought so. Quite a few of you there.
00:08There's nothing quite like watching the rise, fall, and maybe the rise again of a music legend,
00:13is there? Well, let's be honest, sometimes we're also here for the rise, fall, rise, and then...
00:19You know, we love a good redemption arc, but a bit of schadenfreude?
00:24Yeah, look, I'm one of those. Guilty as charged. I hold my hands up there completely.
00:29So, with not one, but... Wait, what? He's doing four! Okay, whoa.
00:35So, with not one, but four Beatles biopics on the way from Sam Mendes, seriously, four,
00:41and Michael Jackson's long-awaited biopic coming out later this year,
00:45it's giving people a kind of buzz what the next great musical biopic is going to be. And,
00:52you know, if there's a buzz, you know that bookies are laying odds and you can put money on it.
00:57Now, according to gambling.com, the current favorite for the biopic treatment is...
01:07The late George Michael, with odds currently at 11 to 8. And I'm sure many of you remember
01:13those rumors about Theo James playing him a couple of months ago, maybe even a year ago now. Well...
01:20Mariah Carey is also high on the list at 6 to 4, and the artist formerly known as the artist
01:26known as Prince, or whatever he was calling himself at the time, comes in third at 15 to 8.
01:34But you can find the full top 10 list in our article, but for now, the important question.
01:41Who do I want to see get the biopic treatment? If that is a real issue. Okay, well, I used to be all
01:48about a Kurt Cobain biopic, and last days does not count, I'm sorry. But honestly, I'm way more
01:55interested in the Courtney Love movie right now. Think about it, dealing with Kurt's death,
01:59the drug allegations, while pregnant, becoming Hollywood Courtney, and her whole pre-whole
02:05history. Now that's gold. Yeah, a Courtney Love biopic? I'm officially sold on that.
02:12But what about you? Who's your dream biopic subject? Drop a suggestion in the comments
02:17wherever you've seen this video, and let's have a nice civil conversation. I'm not budging on
02:23the Courtney Love thing at all.
