Scarlett Johansson Recording An Album
I love most of the movies Scarlett Johansson has been in. “Lost In Translation”, “Ghost World”, the fun b-movie “Eight Legged Freaks” and “The Island” are some of my faves (yes, I did like “The Island”, even if it was a “Logans Run” rip-off). She is truly a great actress and deserving of all the hype.
The smokey voiced actress will cover singer Tom Waits for her first album, which will be creatively called “Scarlett Sings Tom Waits”. The 21-year-old actress, who was voted the sexiest woman by Vanity Fair this year, will be recording her debut c.d. this winter for a spring 2007 release.
I am not sure what to expect, I heard Scarlett sing on “Saturday Night Live” and she has the singing chops to possibly pull off a singing career. But the concept of the c.d. already bores the crap out me. The girl is pretty young and it’s cool that she actually knows who Tom Waits is. But it may be hard for her young fans to relate to Wait’s music. I’m thinking it won’t be a hit because not even Tom Waits can brag about his album sales. I guess if Lyndsay Lohan can have a singing career, than Scarlett may as well have one too. At least we know Scarlett has Oscar worthy talent to back it up.

First of all, Tom Waits fans are fanatics about Tom Waits. So not sure if this will be seen as an insult or not. Then again, Tom Waits is great, but that voice is way too harsh to have added to my “sappy love songs” playlist. They’re beautiful songs too, so maybe she can make it sound sultry enough to qualify for my sappy list? Can’t be too hard to qualify. I do have Olivia Newton-John in there. Actually, I have two songs from Olivia in there. Sad.

Oh NO SHE BETTER DON’T! I love me some Ms. Scarsdale, but please don’t record an album. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED The Island!
