Actress Scarlett Johansson proved to us previously that she can kind of
sing. But she also proved to us, with mixed reviews for her 2008 debut
album 'Anywhere I Lay My Head,' that she should probably stick to her
day job.
Now Ms. Johansson has decided to do it again. Appearing sporadically
on duets and other collaborations since 2008, the latest one to hit our
radar is a duet cover with Lucien 'Lulu' Gainsbourg.
Scar-Jo has
tackled the cover of "Bonnie and Clyde" in tribute to Lulu's father,
Serge Gainsbourg, who passed away in 1991. Serge famously sang
the
original with Brigette Bardot in 1968. No points for guessing which part
Scar-Jo is covering. Lulu sings his parts in French, while Scar-Jo
sings in English.
While the video snippet appears to be of Scarlett frolicking with
champagne on location in France, it also happens to be the same
champagne brand for whom she happens to also be a poster girl. It makes
us a little suspect that someone may have just done a cut and paste job
on a 'Moet & Chandon' ad, slapping the cover song over the top.
The other thing to note would be Scarlett's singing voice. Not since
Paris Hilton's 'Stars Are Blind' song has someone sounding effortless
been an insult. Sure, her voice is pretty and has an air of the eclectic
about it, but it's actually somewhat bland overall.
Anyway, you
can listen to it above (head to the 1 min 46 second mark if you don't
want to know about Beyonce's 30th birthday celebrations or the Royals
re-gifting a Range Rover) and be the judge for yourself.
Let us know –
should Scarlett keep acting or make the move to full time singer?
