http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JKqr5yaARo

I hope that’s not the album cover.WTF! She is beautiful, but that isn’t the best pic. Judging by the pic it’s either a country album or a gospel one.

okay Halle, I hope you have talent in the music industry. We all know how M.J. sucked at baseball, just because you are great at one thing don’t mean try everything.

Lol…Everybody crossing over. We’re not gonna have anybody we can just call an a movie star or just a music star! Lawwdd…halle singing now. This should be interested.

UM NO…

I CAN’T WAIT TO HER WHAT SHE PUTS OUT.

Ummm well I’m not gonna say anything negative or positive about this post…I’ll just wait until I hear a single.

This can not be true! Really, Halle? Ok….

She only has a CD because of her celebrity status. I am getting real tired of this shit. I wonder if she has a duet with Eric Benet.

I’ll wait until I hear it to give and opinion..but I though this was a joke when I first heard about it.

She needs to put out a cook book with her “no husband” keeping azz! What about Halle’s “housecleaning and love making” tips??

If she really thinks she can sing, she should have come up through the “American Idol” ranks like all the other greats…Tasia, J-Hud and R-Stud!

I will only be buying the CD cover!

Whoa, I really wasn’t expecting this…I thought it was a joke too. I don’t really see her as a singer though.

*arms folded and waits for the snippets from Brian*

Bill, I watched that clip and it looked a little off to me as far as her voice goes.

Here is a snip of an article I found.

Wendi Williams sang the soundtrack to the movie.

And when it came time to resurrect her old songs for both the HBO film and its soundtrack, it’s Williams who performed the vocal tour of duty.

ALSO:
Halle Berry reintroduces Dorothy Dandridge
“It feels great to be the voice,” she says. “It hasn’t hit me yet. I really enjoy singing, so if I can do it one way or another, I’m really happy.”

Initially, says Williams, she was supposed to serve only as Berry’s vocal coach. The actress intended to do all her own singing in the film. But as shooting loomed, she ran out of time and ceded singing duties to Williams. The two are said to be a good singing-speaking vocal match.

“They tell me that it’s about the tone,” Williams says. “Like if we were to speak at the same time, some of the tones would be the same. It’s believable. Halle felt really good about it.

One might wonder if Williams feels invisible, serving as the comparatively unsung singing voice in the film. HBO and soundtrack label RCA Victor have clearly publicized Williams’ work as Dandridge’s voice. But doesn’t it bug her, even a little, to see Berry’s visage splashed all over the place, while she remains behind the scenes?

To the contrary, Williams — a seven-year veteran of the now-defunct all-girl R&B group For Real — says the situation suits her just fine. She’s been in this boat before: For Real supplied the voices for an ensemble in the 1996 Illeana Douglas film “Grace of My Heart.”

“I’m fully appreciated,” Williams says. “I don’t feel left out or behind the scenes at all.”

Capturing Dorothy

Williams spent two weeks learning the songs on the album, numbers once performed by Dandridge, including “Hep Hop” and “I Got Rhythm.” She watched archival footage of Dandridge singing on television and studied the singer’s mannerisms and vocal style.

“I had to watch the tapes,” she says “and really try to be the character, not so much myself, and capture Dorothy. I watched a tape of her over and over and I got into her character. But it was challenging, because it was a very different style of music from what I was used to.”

And after she’d recorded the music, she worked with Berry to make sure her on-camera singing looked authentic. As any former Milli Vanilli fan knows, it’s one thing to move your lips — it’s another thing to look like you’re belting out a song.

“I got to go on the set and help Halle do the lip-syncing,” she says. “So it was helpful that we did all the vocal exercises before we started filming because that kind of helps her look more like she was singing. Especially with the breathing and everything. Because if you’re not looking like you’re even extending your vocal chords at all, then it doesn’t come off very well.”

Working with Berry, says Williams, was a breeze. “Halle is a doll,” Williams says. “She’s so wonderful. Really sweet, very easygoing and ridiculously beautiful.”

From AngelEyes
I really hope she can really sing for her sake. Good luck to you Halle.

This is so random. i cant wait to hear how she sounds and performs her song

WOW… HALLE…? I can’t wait to hear this … Well maybe she learned a thing or two from ex-hubby Eric … because he can sing.

I never would have guessed that Halle would release an R&B/Hip Hop Album. I would think of her as more of a light R&B or Jazz person. I don’t know if I can see Halle in a music video!

We will see………………….

I specifcally remember Halle did not sing in introducing dorothy dandridge her voice was DUBBED

which makes me think if she could sing why da hell would they dub her voice????

It was a slim blak chick with short dreds that did her vocals, they had footage of her at the premiere. Her name is WENDIE WILLIAMS (OOooOO how you doin?)and she was uncredited… peep it at IMDB.COM

lol wow…interesting

wow…it must been 30below in hell right now

i hope thats not the album cover - she can do waaaaaaaaayyy better than tha tpic…

Dang, give her a chance. She can probably sing better than Cassie’s ass anyway. We don’t know if she can sing, but we will see. She is a good actress, so I will give her a chance.

Oh Lawd! Halle please don’t embarrass yourself!

I dont believe any of this…if it were true Halle would have been singin by now! She lipsynched to every song in introducing Dandridge, sure its an autobiography but wouldnt u say in some ways so is dreamgirls? Hudson could have easily lipsynched to Holliday’s version of i am telling u, i mean she is a great actress…right? Beyonce’s version of Dreamgirls may be the best but the old one is a classic and great as well, Beyonce could have easily lipsynched to it, i mean the two version are lyrically and musically alike. Halle doesnt sing, i hope she proves me wrong im not tryin to say she doesnt have that talent but im sayin i doubt it! Plus everyone thinks they can sing now days…Cassie, Ciara, Jlo, lindsay, paris, nicole n worst of all Tyra Banks! lol tyra tyra tyra.

I heard she’s jealous of Beyonce’, so she’s trying to do a cross over career! She tried out for the “Dreamgirl” part, but got turned down, because she had nothing to her credits!

Hm…interesting. I can’t wait to hear what she sounds like. And I’m sure the album cover is gonna be hot.

GUL, GO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE……

What?? Halle Berry singing. This I gotta hear!!

Halle Berry Hip Hop Tribute (High Bandwith)

It could be Cameron Rapping….

Wow..Halle Berry was born in 1968..She’s an Old G !!!

the looks of the pic looks more along the lines of a christmas album. wtf… just wtf….

PLEASE DONT DO IT….

Bouga,

#36 (Bill) - Halle is not hold, hon. If you’re lucky like Lena Horne, you’ll live to be more than double Berry’s age AND THAT IS NOT HER VOICE IN THE HBO BIO OF DOROTHY DANDRIDGE!

Halle….

Bill Said:

I didn’t say Halle Berry was OLD…
I’m a few years older than her !!!

I said that Halle Berry is an Old G..That is a Term of respect !!
That means, she has been putting it down for a long time, and she has achieved ICON status…

Shoot, I feel in Love with Halle Berry in Boomerang & Dorthy Dandridge…..

Yes…that is NOT Halle Berry singing in the Dorthy Dandrige Movie..She was lipsynching…..

I doubt if she can sing AT ALL (I search youtube for a clip of her singing, and the only one I found is when she was in a Miss USA Contest..It shows her singing with all the contestants…)

Beginning of the Miss USA 1986 Pageant, where they say their names and sing a cheesy song while wearing very strange costumes, has Halle Berry (Miss Ohio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZqdA5WNpwM

Thank you DUNKHIPRO. That is true, it was not her voice on that movie. Maybe she can sing tho. Can’t wait to hear it.

Ummmmmmmm…no thank you.

I can’t imagine what kind of music she’d do. She doesn’t seem ’soulful’ or ‘pop-ish’…definitely not country or gospel. I just can’t envision it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe she can sing the hell out of a broadway show tune.

This is not true - please see post #41

Yeah..see I’m also wondering what her style is going to be…she is definetely not hip hop, or even pop for that matter! I don’t even know what to think…I guess we are going to have to wait and hear! I just hope she pulls it off, the chick is very special…in the head that is

@ 35
that’s not Cameron. that’s the Roots…it’s on the last cd they put out before the current one….you know the one with Malcom X on the cover….

looking at the supposed song list, this looks very interesting. can’t wait to check this out.

I guess this explain why her ass hasn’t done a movie in so damn long. I hope she releases something a movie soon. I hope she doesn’t look like a damn fool singing.

Hi, this report isn’t true *SEE POST #41
From Halle’s fan chat (3/13/05):
javier : Hi Halle- it seems like a lot of high profile actors are doing stage work in between film projects these days. Do you think you might do a play or musical some day?

Bill Said:

So EBONY MAGAZINE is Lying or Misinformed ???

How is it possible for them to just MAKE UP an Album Cover ???

HELL TO DA NAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean uuuh…ok halle..if u say so

Halle… Come on now. Don’t do it to yourself unless you are a better singer than the following:

Jlo
Cassie
Tyra
Amerie
Kelis
Ashanti

It may have worked for Jamie, but we don’t need another thin voiced diva prancing around in a video with a wind machine.

If you are going to sing well, AND dance, then that’s different.

But I’m going to fire off a small warning shot and a tentative “H.S.D.!” until I hear the 1st single.

Co-sign with 6 and 27!! I hope this isn’t the CD cover! Her CD cover should be FIERCE!!

archuletachick- I LOOOVE Halle, but as you stated, I hope she doesn’t embarass herself with this CD!! That could possibly be career suicide. I mean, I think everyone has forgiven Catwoman, but I hope she doesn’t push her luck. Maybe she should have released this on the mixtape circuit first before going nationwide. Just a though. LOL!!

….According to ANOTHER Blog
http://ciikusreviews.blogspot.com/
Halle IS recording a CD !

Man, this should be interesting….
If I had time I would research, but I realy could care less…..

Let me get back to work..
Who care if Halle can sing or not….

imma just have to wait and hear her voice… i can’t imagine her being able to sing but u never know.

To #54 Bill - Hi Bill to my knowledge that quote was never in Ebony magazine. If it is then they were greatly misinformed. Ang that photo is a really old picture someone photoshopped from when Halle was on Saturday Night live about 3 years ago. Hey, it’s not the 1st time someone has made something up and unfortunately it probably won’t be the last. Anyone can go on wikipedia and add whatever they want so I guess someone was just feeling “creative” one day and decided to see how many people they could trick. We at Hallewood just want everyone to know it’s not trut but we hope you will check out the new movie Halle’s been working on, ‘Perfect Stranger’ in 2007.

This album is so unnecessary.

Aren’t you a little too late with this? Aren’t u pushing 40?

It’s funny how people on this same blog trashed Nicole of the PCD for being too old to start a solo career and now you all co-signing this….

Is this an R&B album or a pop album? Cause I see a lot of Scott Storch and umm…after that Paris Hilton and that Brooke Hogan shit I don’t think he got it together…

And thanks JaeJae!

Halle, sit down, we are pretty sure you can’t sing. Jamie Foxx can’t either, but his album is hot because he’s bringing another side to all of the damsels in distress. But Halle Berry, we can do without it. And is that a chink of botox stuffed in your cheek? Sure looks like it, hope it isn’t the album cover!

I hear you…
It sounds like you know what your talking about, so…
It Looks like your right !!!

Angel.la is going to be pissed that she was fooled again…
You better let her know that this is a faux story…

well, well, well…if tyra banks can “play” singer, why not halle?LOL

i need to hear some snippets before i clown or congrats. she’s had so much drama in her life with men..she definitely has something to sing about.

I’m a Halle stan and I wouldn’t listen to this.
But please do y’all really believe everything you hear?

Halle has never in life talked about singing. And the track listing is clearly bogus. Do you honestly think that those high-profile producers would be doing a Halle project and we’re just now hearing about it? And what label is this on?

@ASENTHA..I do believe she has ben forgiven for CATWOMAN but it still gives you chills, don’t deny it.

LOL at whoever made the list of tracks for Halle’s Album, very good fabrication.

I would think that if Halle could sing we would’ve heard something by now. I mean sistah girl been in the acting game for over 15 years. I think this is a lie like alot of the celebrity blogs.

Also yes Halle is pushing 40 and that doesnt mean she is old by any means., so for those of you who are young enough for her to be your parent. Reach 40 and you let me know if that is an old age.

#55, I agree with everything you just said. Although I think Amerie can sing a little but the others you hit it dead on the nail. A light skin complexion, nice body goes along way in the R&B industry. Real people who can sing dont get half the recognition these heifers get. SAD!

Bill Said:
dag, This is deep !!

who is going around making up a FAKE track listing for Halle’s FAKE CD ???

Someone, somewhere has too much free time on their hands……

Bill, Halle was born in 1966 just like me..we are both 4-0!

I agree MIKA this album is unnecessary…but then again aren’t most R&B chicks’s albums SOOOOOO unnecessary?

Any and everyone tries to release an album…at least HB’s singing gotta be better than Parasite Hilton or Lindsay Lohan.

LMAO @ ARCHULETACHICK’S avatar!!! Damn homie lol!

I haven’t seen that pic in awhile!

I have a feeling its gonna turn out horrible.

If it is true - I can’t imagine her singing let alone recording 15 tracks for her 1st album.

Am I the only one shaking in my boots? I mean, Halle has built up a great career, and I hate to see someone of greatness not do so well because they stepped a little TOO FAR outside the box (think Tyra Banks’ attempt at a singing career).

Regardless, I only wish the best for sistagirl. More power to her, but I hope she can really sing for her reputation’s sake. LOL
