Top 10 Actors Who Crashed As Musicians


these actors should stick to their day
jobs I let you and the kids down way too
long now
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst actors turned musicians
number ten Scarlett Johansson I met you
I know flats do sure she’s a sexy Golden
Globe nominated actress but that doesn’t
mean she’s got a sexy singing voice too
Johanssen might have been trying to
imitate Tom Waits growly vocals by
taking on a deep voice of her own for
her full-length debut but the result is
too monotonous for us to care
skaar joe’s collaborative effort with
Pete Yorn hasn’t fared too well either
we guess her musical appeal was lost in
translation
number 9 Jada pinkett-smith considering
will and her kids all have musical
careers it’s not surprising Jada also is
ventured into music jiggy widow what is
surprising is that herb and couldn’t be
farther from the rap R&B and pop sounds
her family members are known for wicked
evolution previously called wicked
wisdom
sounds more like a female version of
Rage Against the Machine
while they’ve opened for Britney Spears
and played Ozzfest the band has yet to
have a hit and their last album was
released in 2006 number 8 Kevin Bacon
after playing together his kids Kevin
and his brother Michael step things up
with a country and folk rock project
the Footloose actors vocal chops aren’t
bad and his sibling dust play guitar
keyboard and cello it was it’s not like
it’s some evil curse so does that mean
the bacon brothers make beautiful music
together with half a dozen albums under
their belt they aren’t exactly selling
out stadiums or breaking any new ground
so you decide here we say that you do
like we did the year before
give us whiskey give us don’t wanna wait
number seven Gwyneth Paltrow she acts
she models she blogs but being an
oscar-winning actress and so-called
lifestyle expert isn’t enough for
Paltrow
while she did a decent job do wedding
with Huey Lewis on cruising and doesn’t
give her free rein to ruin glam rock
country or any other genre
if it were up to us we leave the singing
to Chris Martin
number six Bruce Willis
just cuz you’ve made millions as an
action star doesn’t mean you can do
whatever you want a PK mother
Willa seems to think he can though
nowhere is this more evident than with
his musical ventures whether it’s so low
with the accelerators or the Bruce
Willis blues band
we’ll give them credit for is our Monica
playing but please just stay away from
the blues
number five Russell Crowe
so sad so mother time
he may be an oscar-winning gladiator but
the famously bad-tempered actors also
been playing music since the 80s most
notable is the terribly named terrible
sounding and often parodied 30 odd foot
of grunts this guy was a shoe changing
nothing just wasting time after that
outfit dissolved crow transferred his
gruff vocals and guitar skills to the
ordinary fear of God modifier when I
wish ever I wish herb
well that band has had some touring
success they’ve yet to chart or get any
mainstream recognition
number four Keanu Reeves
the 90s were definitely Rives decade for
film but when it comes to musical
endeavors not so much
a dog star may have toured the world and
played with some high-profile acts but
it’s the star power of their bassist
and not their unoriginal music that one
than the gigs
after they broke up in 2002 Reeves
briefly joined the band Becky who
exactly
number three Lindsay Lohan
all the postman
me
this Disney star turned trainwreck hoped
to translate her Mean Girls success into
musical success when she branched out as
a recording artist in the mid-2000s
so her two albums sold well critics
mostly dismissed them as forgettable
generic pop efforts considering how many
pop stars the music industry’s been
churning out these days Lilo’s better
off concentrating on getting her life
back on track
I know right number two jennifer Love
Hewitt if you even know that Hewitt
released a japan-only debut album in
1992 really young but a phyllis newsfeed
however after she broke big with party
of five Atlantic Records Rush released
her sophomore effort is a sweetest gift
but neither lets go bang or the bland
pop of her self-titled follow-up charted
you know I find away
you would did score radio play with
Barenaked but she’s far from being
nominated for any music awards which is
why she’s only come out with a song or
two since
I’m living trading
number one William Shatner I see you
around town with the girl I love and I’m
like you while you can’t call what
Shatner does singing per se for some
reason he keeps churning out albums I’m
too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my
shirt so sexy
if ignoring the critical backlash for
his 1968 debut Captain Kirk spoken-word
renditions continue to attract
high-profile collaborators all you other
slim Shady’s are just imitating so won’t
the real Slim Shady please stand up
relentless mockery aside Shatner’s
worked with the likes of Ben Folds
Ritchie Blackmore Sheryl Crow and more
but the way you play your game ain’t
fair good luck with you do you agree
with our list yes all right
