Good Lord - Pierce is one awful singer!!!

And it's not that I don't generally like him as an actor. I even think he was one of the better Bonds - even if he wasn't in some of the better Bond movies.

But I honestly say I'm pretty shocked his singing scenes remained as is in the movie. I'm imagining the looks on the director and the other actor's faces as he was belting out 'S-O-S' - and I can't believe someone didn't say "Um - well, we really can't have a guy who's singing sounds like a cow in a bear trap in a major motion picture musical. Either we re-cast him, or at least dub his singing."

I mean, how did this happen?

disagree. check out the DVD bonus, Bjorn says, these songs might be regarded as the best... (ie, better than ABBA!) Pierce on SOS is great, and the final track too.

Look, if it's worthy of a Razzie, then it's good enough for me.

They're all bad singers...but isn't it the funniest part of the movie? I find it hillarious!

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
