People Who Think They Can Sing

David “Makin’ It” Naughton, best known for Dr. Pepper commercials and An American Werewolf in London.

“A naked American man stole my balloons!” :smiley:

Oh, I almost forgot:

Cher. :eek:

Nobody’s mentioned Bruce Willis? The Return of Bruno, anyone? I’m one of the few who liked Hudson Hawk, though. I’m conflicted.

And I know it’s not technically TV, but what’s the verdict on Russell Crowe? I’ve seen brief clips of 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, but I’d like to know more about his incarnation as Rus Le Roc, back in the 80’s. I saw some video of him shaking about on top of a car, bopping and snapping in true 80’s fashion and about died.

Oops. Xploder’s already there. You know, if work didn’t interfere occasionally with posting . . .

Bruce Springsteen.

“Come on oh-ver fer’ the risin’ Nah na naugh naw naa Na gnaw naugh …”

Ghastly stuff. William Shatner, on the other hand…


Some people don’t even have taste in thier mouths.

Cher.
Christina Aguilera.
Justin Timberlake.
William Shatner.
Jennifer Love Hewitt.

groan.

I can understand someone who dislikes Carol Burnett’s style or thinks her style doesn’t go well with some songs. She’s not my favorite singer; I prefer classical music. But to say she only thinks she can sing or she shouldn’t sing is utterly absurd.

I’m also a bit surprised by Patty Duke. I remember her singing “I’m Henery the Eighth, I Am” on an episode of her series. It was amateurish. But I also saw her sing on Jimmy Dean’s show once, and she also did a Russian folk song on Ed Sullivan. She was not a great singer, but those performances were enjoyable and were better than the one on her series.

Now take Leonard Nimoy’s singing. Please.

Love Hewitt’s not all that bad (not terrific either) but I’ve seen performances by J-Lo that made my hair hurt. Maybe dating a music producer helps (with the mix, that is).

Also, Clint Eastwood did a deeply moving (pun intended) reflective love homage in Paint Your Wagon. Glad he can direct.

Poor Cybil Shepard, she seems like such a terrific gal (can. not. sing. period.)

Don’t be so picky - he was dead sexy - so what he couldn’t sing - neither can I :wink:

I’ll match the Cher nomination, and raise you a Britney Spears. :o

I’ll go along with your bet on Britney Spears - my grand-daughter [age4] adores her and I find it torture to have to listen !!!

Mind you, I’d nuke the teletubbies too, if I got a chance!!!

Has anyone ever heard of Kathy Lee? how about Madonna?
i think that on one of kl’s carnival cruise commercials her voice actually cracks. when madonna tries to do a serious song, am i correct in remembering that her voice goes thru about 100 filters a la patrick swayze and don johnson?

I just have one thing to say to y’all:
Jealousy’s an ugly thing.

All of you have simply fabulous singing voices, right?
Sure.:rolleyes: I believe that, Nixon, The Easter Bunny & Santa Claus.

I admit I can’t sing - but I don’t torture others with having to listen to me -

well, maybe in the shower sometimes… and “I” don’t get paid for it!!!

I’m not much of a singer either. But like ZombiesAteMyBrain said, I don’t get paid for it.

Besides, this is just an opinion thread. I’m sure you’ve heard singers you don’t like, haven’t you WSLer?

I’ll see y’all’s Cher and Britney Spears…
And raise you each a Shakira!

And I am a bloody good singer. (Have gotten paid for it, too!)

Well, good for you!!!
Fact remains that there are some singers out there that I’d pay NOT to have to listen to… for my money Cher and Britney can be consigned to the black hole of Calcutta for crimes against the hearing of humanity

Well, I was going through a bunch of old recordings that I’ve accumulated over the years and check THIS one out…

Golden Throats
Leonard Nimoy - Proud Mary
Sebastian Cabot - It Ain’t Me Babe
Eddie Albert - Blowin’ In The Wind
William Shatner - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Noel Harrison - A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Frankie Randall - I Can See For Miles
Jack Webb - Try A Little Tenderness
Mae West - Twist And Shout
Andy Griffith - House Of The Rising Sun
William Shatner - Mr. Tambourine Man
Jim Nabors - You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
Joel Grey - White Room
Sebastion Cabot - Like A Rolling Stone
Leonard Nimoy - If I Had A Hammer

Now granted, Jim Nabors does in fact have a great voice but after listening to this stuff I have this desire to see if I can stick a q-tip in one ear and out the other…

Break the records - don’t do that thing with the q-tip!!! You’ll end up sitting in ER all day - and breaking records can be fun!!

Andrea Bocelli, who is probably an OK pop singer, is not a classical singer.
