Actors Singing (or trying to) feat. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and more!

[LChinoz]

In the spirit of American Idol, I'd thought we'd take a look at various celebrities singing and make some comments (constructive not required) This is all in good fun, as I suck at singing.

Scarlett Johansson - Oh Scarlett, taking her singing a little too seriously? I don't like her voice :

Pierce Brosnan - I love Pierce's confidence in this song, even if it's not really good singing. He's having fun (skip to 1:43):

Russel Crowe - Hmmm he introduces himself...kind of weird. Don't know what to think of his singing.

Joseph Gordon Leavitt - I like his singing a lot. Needs some work, but certainly not bad.

Randy, Paula, the other airhead, and Simon, watcha think?

You forgot about one of the greatest... Mr. Eddie Murphy (well, greatest in that he at least did get high in the pop charts with this diddy).

[Darth Waller]

I believe Downey has a pretty good voice. He reminds me a lot of Don Henley. You should check out his version of Joni Mitchell's The River.

Good call, was going to put him on the list, but since he got props for his singing (or whatever you want to call it) in Dreamgirls, I'd thought I'd leave him off. Also he has made such horrible movies lately, didn't want to kick the man when he's down

 

[Studio49]

Don't forget Patrick Swayze with the song "She's like the Wind." That song has what is probably the greatest opening line in a song EVER... "She's like the wind, through my tree." My wife and I crack up laughing every time we hear that song on the grocery store musac system.

[LChinoz]

Feel free to add more celebrity contestants to judge everyone !

 

[Darth Cruel]

I remember James Spader singing in "Tuff Turf"


"She walks the nieeeeeeeight!"


Oi. Just...oi.

 

[Bannister]

I always heard that Milla Jovovich's album was pretty good.

 

[Saya]

Russell And Christian were pretty good, but was most surprised by Robert Downey. He gets my vote to Hollywood! Wait isn't he already there?

 

[LChinoz]

Keanu Reeves

Bruce Willis

LOL at Keanu...and is Bruce singing in that clip or is it dubbed?

 

[wofford29]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the most shocking one of all....

Jada Pinkett Smith

That is Bruce singing, but then he lipsync's his own song in the video. There are plenty of other really bad Bruce Willis singing clips on youtube.

WOW. She is really...um...rocking out and stuff. Why so much anger Jada?

 

[GrueSam]

I saw Jada's metal band Wicked Wisdom when they opened for Sevendust in '06.
They were good.

 

[The Ween]

RDJ is awesome!

One of Ed Norton's earliest roles was in a Woody Allen Musical. He isn't great, but he probably isn't any worse than the average Joe:
