Romeo and Juliet (Sylk-E. Fyne song)
"Romeo and Juliet" was the lead single released from Sylk-E. Fyne's debut album, Raw Sylk. The song was released on January 27, 1998, with production from Gerald Baillergeau and Victor Merritt and a guest appearance from William "Chill" Warner. The song was a massive hit on Mainstream Urban radio stations in February 1998. The music video was released in January 1998 and had heavy rotation on the B.E.T. network. It contains an interpolation of "You Don't Have To Cry" by Rene & Angela.
The song quickly became a success, rising to #6 on the Billboard 100 and #1 on the rap charts. However, her album failed to match the single's success as Raw Sylk struggled sales-wise, and she was dropped from her label, RCA Records. Though her next single, 2000's "Ya Style" found some success on the rap charts (peaking at #17), "Romeo and Juliet" remains both Sylk-E. Fyne and Chill's only top 40 hit on the Billboard 200.
"Romeo and Juliet" was certified gold by the RIAA on March 30, 1998 for sales of over 500,000 copies.
Romeo and Juliet (MacMillan)
Choreographer Sir Kenneth MacMillan's Royal Ballet production of Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet premiered at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on 9 February 1965.
Background
Kenneth MacMillan had previously choreographed the balcony scene for Lynn Seymour and Christopher Gable to dance in September 1964 for Canadian Television. This experience made him seem a good candidate to choreograph the entire ballet for Covent Garden, when the Soviet Union refused to allow Leonid Lavrovsky's classic production to tour to London. MacMillan prepared his version with the blessing of Frederick Ashton.
Premiere performance
Kenneth MacMillan's Royal Ballet production of Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet premiered at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on 9 February 1965. Though MacMillan had conceived the ballet for Lynn Seymour and Christopher Gable, for "bureaucratic reasons" Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev danced the opening night, to MacMillan's disappointment. Fonteyn and Nureyev brought new life to the characters, as did the set and costume designs by Nicholas Georgiadis; Fonteyn, considered to be near retirement, embarked upon a rejuvenated career with a partnership with Nureyev.
Romeo (Ketil Stokkan song)
"Romeo" was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, performed in Norwegian by Ketil Stokkan.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Stokkan addressing the object of his desires. He sings about his elaborate preparations to "seduce you" - going to the lengths of borrowing clothes to look better. Unfortunately for him, his advances appear to have been over-eager, as he sings "My greatest pleasure was to touch you/My biggest stupidity was to feel you up". His paramour compares him unfavourably to Romeo, telling him that "the Gods shall know that you will never become a/Romeo, Romeo, try to take it easy", even as he is begging on his knees for the relationship to work.
Despite the somewhat unconventional lyrics - Eurovision entries tending to be about requited love - the song is more significant for the appearance onstage of a drag queen, a member of the Norwegian drag troupe "Great Garlic Girls", dressed in stylised clothing reminiscent of the 18th century.
Romeo (English rapper)
Marvin Dawkins (born 23 October 1980), better known by his stage name Romeo or MC Romeo, is an English rapper and MC.
Biography
Romeo first found fame in the garage group So Solid Crew, having grown up on and around the notorious Surrey Lane, Winstanley and Badric Court estates of Battersea. He subsequently had a solo career. He got his name Romeo due to his smoothness with the ladies.
Romeo released his solo album Solid Love in November 2002, through Relentless records, the label that No Solid had just left for Independiente.
He enjoyed two top 10 singles, "Romeo Dunn'em" which reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart in 2002, and secondly a duet with Christina Milian, "It's All Gravy Baby", which reached No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart in the same year.
However, only a disappointing 40,000 copies sold of his album, peaking at No. 46 in the UK Albums Chart. In March 2003, Relentless filed for bankruptcy with debts of £3m.
In 2004, Romeo appeared in the reality show The Games, and returned to the series to compete in the Champion of Champions contest in 2006. Romeo also featured in a gameshow called Fool Around With... Romeo on Channel 4 in 2005, in which he had to guess which girl out of four was single.

Romeo Juliet
by: Blue SystemI'm not your Juliet and you're not Romeo
But I will love you, baby, time will show
I'll give you everything and that's no compromise
See my broken wings to your alibis
Crying ninety tears, no sacrifice
Broken souvenirs in paradise
Oh, I never promised you love
Oh, when my heart is not enough
Oh, it's like an ocean of love to me
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
After the curtain falls, I'll drive you mad
Oh, baby heaven, just sweet heaven has sent you
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
But I will love you, love you, love you, drive you mad
Oh, baby, there will never be another you
Love on the telephone, it's killing me
I'll sail my ship alone, old memory
Back to Babylon, in my fantasy
Gonna lock my heart and losing the key
Oh, I never promised you love
Oh, when my heart is not enough
Oh, it's like an ocean of love to me
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
After the curtain falls, I'll drive you mad
Oh, baby heaven, just sweet heaven has sent you
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
But I will love you, love you, love you, drive you mad
Oh, baby, there will never be another you
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
After the curtain falls, I'll drive you mad
Oh, baby heaven, just sweet heaven has sent you
I'm not your Romeo and you're not Juliet
But I will love you, love you, love you, drive you mad
Oh, baby, there will never be another you
