Singers Make the Movie

I never knew Johnny Depp could sing. He is an amazing singer, though. We just finished watching the movie Sweeney Todd in English class, and I thought it was a great movie with great music. I loved the song “A Barber and his wife” just because Johnny Depp’s voice was so amazing. I also liked the way Depp sang “My Friends”. His voice is like none other. I’ve always wished that I could sing, but I’ve always been terrible at it. All day after class I would always have the tunes from the songs from whatever part of the movie we were watching in my head. While this could sometimes get annoying, it could also be fun to hum along to Sweeney Todd randomly throughout the day. The other actors in this movie were also very good singers. The actor that played Toby had great range. In the song “Nothing’s Gonna Harm You”, Toby went up very high, but he also sang low. Of course it helps that he is a young boy, but still. He had great vocal control. I also thought Mrs. Lovett had an angelic voice. If you gave her something sweet to sing, she could really serenade. I bet it took a long time to pick out all of the actors for this movie, but I must say they did a very good job not only acting, but also singing.

  1. I second everything you have said! After seeing this film, I wonder why we never watched it in Mrs. Shook's class in middle school. It contains music and her favorite actor, JOHNNY DEPP! But anyways, I agree. The actors weren't only great, but the singing was amazing too!! They all had beautiful voices. I just wish Nowadays, it would be the same.

  3. I never never Johnny Depp could singer either! I was amazed and shocked that he could sing so well. I loved the songs and wanted to hear his voice a lot more because it was so different from anything I have heard.
