If she has the wispy voice claimed by Fox News, it could be a really interesting album.

Hm, the most beautiful woman in hollywood singing tom waits? Thats worth checking out. She has more class than the likes of jenifer lopez or those simspon girls. This could definately work.

Im of the opinion that this wont be worth a nickel. Scarlett is looking everyways at the moment and everywhere with little talent. She has the promise of some charm but delivered rather awkwardly. Are we suppose to believe she knows what she is doing.

Have a listen to her version of Gershwin's "Summertime". It appeared on an album called "Unexpected Dreams: Songs from the Stars" (to these ears she sounds like the British jazz singer Stacy Kent).

Correction: "...she sounds like the British jazz singer Stacy Kent". Stacey Kent is originally from New York...and i omitted the letter "e" from her name!

Tom and Scarlett can both truthfully sing, "I look good without a shirt."
