on Leighton Meester Nabs Recording Contract! at 20:47 04/28/2009

Good for her! I think the people that don't know anything about her should keep their mouths shut! First of all, her main focus ever since she was young was to sing, she just happened to fall into acting, and does a damn good job of it! (People may have their opinions about Gossip Girl itself, but if any of them took the time and actually WATCHED the show, they would know that she is the most talented actor out of the bunch, and does an EXCELLENT job of portraying bitchy upper east side princess Blair Waldorf. A good actor makes the character believable, complex and raw and she does it FLAWLESSLY and the critics love her for it!) But she has repeatedly stated that she her first passion has always been music, and now that finally has the chance, why not? She is not just another lame actress who wants to be a singer, she ACTUALLY DOES HAVE TALENT. Her singing voice is completely different from her speaking voice, it's sultry and deep for a girl, while her speaking voice is nasally and high. She did a beautiful duet with pop and jazz legend Tony Bennett on her 2nd appearance on Entourage. She also did a great cover of Bette Davis Eyes (although I'll admit the background music is annoying), which prove that the girl CAN sing and has an amazing voice, so people need to be stop judging a book by its cover and give Leighton a chance, she's not like OTHER low-rent pop star wannabes who shall remain nameless!
