My ears

Longtime readers know full well my almost unhealthy obsession with a certain starlet. Yes I know I post about her a lot, enough so that I'm surprised I haven't been slapped with a restraining order. Still all the posts I've written about her have been flattering, but then again when I go back and read them I imagine you all think I'm some ugly freak who lives in his parents' basement and masturbates while he cries.

Well the flattery ends here as I heard the first track from Scarlett's new album 'Anywhere I Lay My Head', a collection of Tom Waits cover tunes. While I understand what she's trying to do here, it doesn't make the song less painful. I know Waits is not known for his vocals and really if you're looking for great singing modern music is not the source for it, but man this is terrible. As bad as it is though I probably should go buy it. I mean she's going to be my wife one day so it's only polite.

Damn, WIGSF beat me to it.

I mean, uh, jeez WIGSF, that was a cheap shot.

Actors should not sing. If they had any real musical talents, they would have started out as singers. When it's the other way around though, it just means they're using they're fame to make some extra money. That's the way I see it anyways.

That was brutal!

WIGSF - Thanks for contributing.

Mattbear - I figured that would be the first thing on your mind.

Grace - Aw come on. There's no denying the amazing vocals of David Hasselhoff.

Miss Ash - I agree.

Kind of Sinead O'Connor-ish, but yeah, pretty bad. I would like to hear more though...maybe a different song? I'm rootin' for your fiance here! haha

That's just bad. Like Heidi Montag bad.

Sorry, she looks quite pretty, I really shouldn't talk badly about your wife!

Scarlett is getting rave reviews. The reviewers and music bloggers think she is great. I personally wanted to kill myself when I listened to it but what do I know.
