Renaissance woman - not
Not that I've been paying all that much attention, but I had the impression Scarlett Johannson's pop album received good reviews. I hadn't actually heard her sing until I saw this video, posted by my old friend PooterGeek:
She has... a singing voice like two labradors spinning in an industrial tumble dryer. This is not a matter of taste; it’s a purely technical assessment based on her demonstrated inability to pitch notes accurately. Watch this video. How long can you last with the volume turned up? Look at the expressions on the faces of the more-than-competent backing musicians.
Painful... Some of the responses posted on this blog are shamefully sexist, but one reader, at least, hits the mark: "Tom Waits is rolling over in his grave, and he's not even dead yet."
