This is my official plea to celebrities, movie/TV stars if you will, trying their hands (vocal chords) at singing: LEAVE THE SINGING TO SINGERS.

Dear Scarlett Johansson and Hayden Panettiere, I know you are actually decent actors. I have a chick crush on Scarlett because I can’t believe she is my same age and has those kind of acting chops. I’ll watch anything that girl is in. As for Hayden Panettiere, I was first introduced to her in an episode of “Law & Order: SVU” in which she was playing a teenage slut who murdered someone. Now she is on “Heroes” and I think she’s perfect for the role. I obviously like these two women, and that’s why I have to break the news.

Both Scarlett Johansson and Hayden Panettiere have albums coming out. Singing albums, not photo albums which they might actually be good at. When I heard about these albums I was kind of excited because who knows what celebrities can do? However, after listening to songs from each of their albums my heart started to cry salty tears and my eyes started to cry bloody tears and my ears, well they just went deaf.

Don’t believe me? Click here to hear a bit of Scarlette Johansson (it’s actually her) and then click here to hear and SEE Hayden Panettiere’s music video. If you are wondering why you recognize Hayden’s song, it’s because it’s sounds exactly like (and exactly as bas as) Paris Hiltons attempt at singing, another celeb that can’t sing, but she can’t act either and I actually don’t really consider her a celebrity at all.

Do I think this is the worst music I’ve ever heard? Not even close, but it sure as hell isn’t good they just can’t sing like real singers. Now, one very odd case of celeb/singer is Zooey Deschanel (Elf, Failure to Launch, The Happening). Zooey can actually sing. I mean you heard her in Elf right? I love that her voice has this old timey feel to it, it’s really strong and smooth and beautiful. She’s in this band called She and Him, of which she is the “she”. I was also excited to take a listen to her and was disappointed. While her voice is great, and while I usually really like this kind of music, I don’t know WHAT they did to her. It’s very boring and vibratey and just dull music.

So once again, with the utmost respect I can give to these actors for their acting skills, LEAVE THE SINGING TO SINGERS.
