Not Him Too!!!!
Filed under: Music Minute > Joaquin Phoenix
Oscar nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix is coming out with an album.
Yes…it's another actor morphing into a 'musician'.
Why??????
It didn't work for Scarlett Johansson. It didn't work for Minnie Driver or Kevin Bacon or Billy Bob Thornton or Gina Gershon or….the list goes on and on.
Why must you do this to us Joaquin?????
Apparently, Phoenix got the calling after he learned to play the guitar for the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.
Does that mean we can expect to see something from Reese Witherspoon soon?
Phoenix has been working with Britpop star Tim Burgess , the Charlatans frontman.
A release date has not been determined.
For Phoenix's sake, let's hope the album is as good as his acting. But it will probably suck!

pathetic!!!
Who wants to see Perez in a John Mayer neon bull hugger swimsuit? Ask him and you shall receive.
booooooooo
oh man
first??
joaquin has been a musician for a long time.
he used to play in gainesville
I got the walk the line soundtrack.. and it sounds pretty good.
remember Perez, he sang in that movie too-and was quite good!
Didn't you see him in the Johnny Cash film? He used his own vocals to emulate Johnny Cash, and I thought he did a superb job. He has a great voice, so I'm pretty excited to hear that he is going to be releasing an album.
FIRST
He's been playing music longer than he's been acting. His whole family are musicians and performed as children.
river phoenix had a band and they were fairly good, so joaquin phoenix may have muscial talent as well. you just never know…
First
Shit yes!!!!! I can't wait to go out and not buy this.
First!
Maybe it could work? He is a damned good actor though.
Who wants to see Perez in a John Mayer neon ball hugger swimsuit? Ask and you shall receive.
i hope his music is as beautiful as him~~~
oh and scarlett has a beautiful voice
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee her song~!~
honestly..i don't think he'll make it.
o_0
if a muscian morphed into an actor that's a different story.
i predict it will be terrible…..but i live in Australia so hopefully it wont even make it down here!
have you even herd the walk the line soundtrack???
Phoenix is really good.
and thats my fave movie by farr.
RIP CASH.
i dont think that his album will be best-selling, but he has a voice.
I thought Minnie Driver has many records and had good reviews. I think she is good. Just because they are actors it doesn't mean they can't sing or won't be successful.
Joaquin Phoenix can play guitar with my body anytime he wants!
The Zooey Daschanel/M. Ward cd is an exception to the movie stars should stick to acting rule! check out their cd She & Him vol. 1, it is an amazing disc, and Zooey is a kick ass actress! I love her in 'All The Real Girls'…
actually The Bacon Brothers have been a very good band since 1995. Kevin Bacon didn't try to be a musicial he is one and a good one at that. Maybe we should check our facts next time.
I love Joaquin Phoenix if I have faith in any actor's musical ability it's his.
Walk the Line is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Atleast we know he can actually sing; unlike the others you mentioned. He did his own singing in Walk the Line. He has a great voice; I think he can be a successful singer and he's hot.
Well, it just goes to prove there is no such thing as someone who doesn't sell out in Hollywood.
yes. he sang in 'walk the line' and was great. i'm intrigued.
he actually won a Grammy for his work on the Walk the Line Soundtrack
Uhm. He did all his own singing in the movie. Clearly he can sing.
I loooveee his voice, I can't wait to hear his music!
PEREZ READ UP ON YOUR FACTS! Joaquin has been into music since he was a teen, his whole family does musical stuff. He and River used to be in a band together in the late 80's-early 90's!!! If that isn't enough proof he did all his own versions of Johnny Cash songs in Walk The Line. I'm sure his music will sell just fine!!
Re: cp – Go Gainesville! His sister, Rain, is in a band as well - the papercranes.
Actually, he has a really nice voice! And he won a Grammy for the "Walk the Line" soundtrack. He's so damn hot, I would buy it anyways. That's right, he is that hot.
He's way ahead of those "actors turned singers" that you listed above - He is already a Grammy winner and had a #1 selling album. Plus he's got a great voice.
Ok i do not get it! ACTORS STAY WHERE YOU ARE! god why does every one need to fuckin sing! MOST ACTORS SING LIKE FUCKIN CRAP! please perez don't make an ablum! its haunting actors
hahaha, I wouldn't mind if james marsden came out with an album, he's good. =)
p.s. I love you perez,haha.
stupiddd, I wouldn't mind if james marsden came out with an album though *hint, he's good. really pretty. =)
p.s. I love you perez,haha.
so what? If you don't like it, then don't buy it…
what do you mean "doing this to us"?, noone forces you to buy someone's CD, idiot!
His late brother, River, was a musician, so this makes sense. Actually, it would be great if he hooked up with John Frusciante same as River did. If Walk the Line is any inclination, I don't expect Joaquin to suck, given he takes it in the right direction and doesn't do something so out there that no one can handle.
It could be worse! I saw the "Not him too!!" headline and Joaquin's picture and thought you meant that he was becoming a scientology freak! I am relieved that it is just another bad album.
At least Joaquin actually sang in the movie and has a soundtrack CD out of it!
Also, he has been actively involved with music for years. Joaquin has even directed music videos.
dear Joaquin,
I'm sorry you didn't win the Oscar for Walk the Line. It is time to let it go and move on.
Sincerely, EVERYONE!
I LOVE HIM!!! I'D BUY IT.
Love love love him!! I would buy his album!
i will love it cuz i love him
Maybe it'll be good…time shall tell. Joaquin's very talented, so I hope his musical career goes well for him!
MARI'OMO-PEREZ, YOU FLAP OFF THROUGH YOUR BUCK TEETH THAT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE SHIT THAT OOZES FROM YOUR SITE, THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT. WELL, IF YOU DON'T LIKE JOAQUIN PHOENIX RECORDING AN ALBUM….THEN DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT YOU STUPID HYPOCRITE. CHOKE ON YOUR OWN WORDS….LITERALLY.
:)-
I think that dude has the talent to do whatever he wants… the album will be great.
And I want to see Joaquin in a neon ball hugger swimsuit
The things I would do to this man would shame my family. Delish.
Billy Bob Thornton was a musician long before he was an actor. He's on like his 4th album. His new video is great - just saw it last weekend on CMT. I saw him last year in LA and - I gotta say - it was really good. Don't make assumptions that just because someone is an actor, they can't be a good musician. Look at Broadway actors, they sing and act - that's what they're suppose to do. So why would a film actor be any different??
HOPEFULLY HIS SINGING ISNT AS BAD AS MARIAH CUNTNEYS ACTING!!!!
He was fantastic in Walk the Line, can't wait to hear other stuff he can do.
If I am not mistaken Joaquin was in a band with his brother and maybe some of his sisters…I know I saw them play in Gainesville Fl…maybe in the late 80's or very early 90's…anyway he was still just a kid…I remember seeing him roam around by the Hippodrome…
I think he has sisters in bands…I think the family is into music…so Perez…he is not just one of the celebs deciding to do music…I think this is something he has always had an interest in…Rock on Joaquin! I am sure Perez will be hyping you soon enough…XOXOX to you P
havent you heard his covers of johhny cash?
he is an amazing singer.
The difference between Joaquin and those "musicians" is that he actually has musical talent.
But Joaquin CAN sing! Remember of his role as Johnny Cash in Walk The Line?
The guy is an exception! His voice is amazing!
if you were at all informed on the independent music blogosphere or scarjo's new album efforts you would realize it's just as wildy successful as zooey deschanel's has been with m. ward. their respective myspaces have blown the fuck up (scarjo has 14000 listens TODAY ALONE) and they are getting major coverage from all the big music blogs, even the corporate ones. scarjo fucking did a song with david bowie and tom waits publicly declared his admiration and support for scarjo. why don't you stop profiling bullshit european bands covering madonna or whatever it is you like to endorse nowadays (altho lykke li is super hot, way to be three months late on shit as usualy buddy) and try to actually listen to shit before you condemn it on this stupid-ass site i can't help but check occassionally…..
Haha! Someone involved in this equation might do SHITLOADS of Blow! Bet that's how they came up with this kooky idea!
Minnie Driver's stuff is actually really good.

I'll listen to it anyway!
Joaquin is the man.
I thought it worked out well for Jason Schwartzman! I love his album. (Under the name Coconut Records.) It's not everyones cup of tea, but it's certainly mine.
Hey remember his brother the super-sexy River Phoenix…..maybe it runs in the family!?
dude, i can't wait.
well, as long as tim burgess is working with him, it shouldn't be a complete nightmare; the charlatans (and tim) are the jam!
He might as well come out with a fragrance line too. It's all the rage! LOL
hope he's not playing the trumpet…harelip! harelip!
i thought it waz cool the way he trained his voice in tha movie and he is an amazing actor but an album?!?! idk who knows? it might b really good and sell more than mariah's latest album….. pshhttt yea right it will prob suck
Perez oughtta record the sound of his huge,saggy tits slapping together,put a little guitar behind it,and call it The Cottage Cheese Opus
You're sooooo negative PH…..you're just jealous you are not a real celebrity with any real talent. Frankly, I'm digging evilbeet.com and celebritydirt.com more these days.
Homosexuality is untreated mental illness. Get help.
Ahahahahahahaha! your post make laugh ahahahaha so hillarious!! xD!!! and lucky you don't live in México ’cause here actors becoming singers it's so common like drinkin' water ¬¬!!
he can do no wrong in my book. cant wait to buy the album. hope he tours!!!
I LOVE MINNIE DRIVER'S ALBUMS! She is AMAZING!!
it's britney bitch !
I actually think he will be good! He was good in Walk the Line singing Cashs old songs
Re: Amanda –
i doubt he'll work with john frusciante.. it's rumored that he's the one that gave river the speedball that killed him.. i know i would feel slightly uncomfortable in that situation
uhh the phoenix family was really musical when they were growing up and he has a really nice voice. you've obviously never seen "walk the line."
Hes got a great voice. He did amazing singing the Johnny Cash songs! Cant wait to hear something new!
Well thats not fair to say about Scarlett…her CD didnt even come out yet!
If only he didn't have that nasty cig in his left hand…
Re: veronica –
Damn… beat me to it.
Billy Bob played drums and sang in a band called Tres Hombres.
Re: Jeanna –
Youre a douche. Thats not the case at all…and dont speak for everyone asshole.
I challenge you to listen to "Philadelphia Chickens" and tell me it "didn't work" for Kevin Bacon.
First of all it is an insult to musicians everywhere….2nd, whatever happened with perfecting your craft? Can you imagine Jack Nicholson or Tom Hanks coming out with an album 10 or 15 years ago? Oh that's right…Jack and Tom won Oscars.
Guys (and especially girls) you are embarassing yourselves…
