I don't like Scarlett Johansson. I don't know why, it's a personal thing. I have never really liked her and to be honest I am not sure she is a very good actress. She plays the same role in a lot of her movies, and her voice grates my nerves. Not to mention she is another girl who ruined a guy for me. Poor Ryan Reynolds, I used to like you, and usually you wear your pants well. It's a shame really...
I might not like Scarlett as an actress but I respect that is her job. Singing is not her job. I don't even care if she can sing, she is not a singer. Unless you come into the business in musicals or something, stick to your category.
In case you can't tell this is a pet peeve of mine. Unless I really like you, do not try to cross over.
Perfect example, Leighton Meester. I love Leighton Meester because she is amazing and beautiful and I just love her. I am interested in her singing. Scarlett not so much.
I have to defend scar jo here, at least partly.
ReplyDeletePete Yorn apparently was "inspired"by her (I think in a dream, how clichè is that?) and wrote this whole album with her in mind and asked her to do it with him.
That's his story. Here's what I see as the truth: He is desperate for some She & Him-esque success. He wants his own Zooey Deschanel.
Problem: He is no M. Ward. Scar Jo is no Zooey.
i don't like that she always plays the tramp. that's why. omg! and now i just watched the video. courtney totally called it-she is trying to be zooey with that 50's voice feel. ugh. gag me with a spoon. her voice has not always sounded like this.

i mean, it was prettier when she did the yes we can video. she is a woman. her voice will not change this much within two or three years. blah.
