Celebrities Who Think They Can Sing

[kostgard]

This is exactly why 99.98% of celebrities should not be allowed to do albums.

I still stare at it in horror, still unable to believe that it's actually happening.


And it ends with little olive-skinned boys skipping around them in a circle. This is why God is punishing Eddie Murphy with all those fat suit movies.

Heh. When I saw the title of this thread I thought of only this guy . Don Johnson should be, if not the patron saint of this thread, at least an honorary godfather.

LurkerNan, Sars at Tomato Nation did a writeup on that.

Thy Name Is Don Johnson

don't know if any of you saw Heartbeat — the hour-long "music video feature" that went with Don Johnson's album of the same name — when it first came out. I only saw it myself because…wait, why did I see that? I don't even remember. I do recall feeling so profoundly embarrassed for everyone involved that I had to watch from behind a pillow, and given that I saw it when it came out, in 1987, meaning that I myself regularly appeared in public with an atrocious perm and Reebok high-tops with different-colored neon laces on each foot, it's probably a pretty terrible movie.

I know! Back when her sitcom was on I had to mute the opening credits every time.

Wellllll...That clip is not great, but I have an album (her first?) that she did with Stan Getz back in the 70's (pre-Moonlighting) that I found in the dollar box in a store in Ann Arbor back in the late 80's. I bought it strictly for the laughs. Surprise! She's no Julie London, but I wouldn't call her awful.

Find the clip from Moonlighting of "I Told Ya I Loved Ya (Now Get Out)". That's a more fair example of her talent.

And remember, all this stuff was done before Auto-Tune existed.

I thought her rendition of Blue Moon was pretty good on that same Moonlighting episode. Love Moonlighting!!

She may not be the greatest singer, but GOD she had great hair! *goes off to find "Moonlighting" stills to show current hairdresser*

I remember in the mid 90s she went on Regis & Kathie Lee to promote her lounge act at the 'Rainbow Room'. She performed one of the songs from her act on the show. I remember thinking that she'd never get booked at a prestigious supper club like the 'Rainbow Room' if her name wasn't Cybill Shepherd. Her voice is um, not good.

EM has that 'no closet can hold me' look in this video.
