Another 'Crossover'

Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Harry Potter

British actor Tom Felton - the bleached blonde bully in the Harry Potter flicks- is also a budding musician.

Groan.

Felton has an album in the works and he's even opened himself up to criticism by already posting some home-made vids of him singing on YouTube.

come on guys he's not that bad and seriously, he was FILMING at the time of course his hair was bleached…and he's actually a really talented actor unlike emma "i say every word overdramatically" watson, and alot of british guys still wear their collars up when I was in London practically every guy with a collar had it flipped up. And yea he was in some sort of kids choir when he was younger.

I think he's really good. he'll be a hit in the UK maybe a little less over here in north america. but all the potter fans like me will download his songs

211

THIS IS SO GOOD! good for him
Alicia says – reply to this

212

I don't think that he's that bad. A lot of music that's streaming out there is a lot worse. Give him a bit of time and maybe little more vocal practice and he could be quite good. Very… folky John Mayer meets a little Damien Rice with just the slightest sprinkle of Whetherman.

Lauren says – reply to this

237

Wow. I'm surprised. I kinda like it.
Cassie says – reply to this

238

I was kinda scared when I read this! Luckily, these last few actor/model "musicians" have turned out to be pretty good — everyone knows Joaqin Phoenix can sing from Walk The Line, Agyness is good, and so's Tom. Cheers to double-threats!
lauren says – reply to this

239

241

raw.. but not bad at all. he definitely has potential
jj says – reply to this

242

wow i expected him to suck
but hes really good!!
HP lover says – reply to this

243

I love Draco!!!!!!!! His singing isn't too bad! Playing the guitar is downright SEXY!! I think his voice needs a bit of work though…could be deeper. Over all though, sounds good!!!!!
I Heart D.R says – reply to this

244

He's okay, but I'm just sick of actors trying the Music scene!
Crackerz says – reply to this

245

I thought he was going to be bad but he's adorable! lol
krystal says – reply to this

246

to all the people who don't know it (which is most of you) Tom HAS had professional voice training. he used to sing in several choirs as a child. furthermore, lets see any of you play guitar like that.

1. the accent is not "forced", he's just not speaking in his normal slangy accent
2. he has the same hair bc they're still filming
3. he's not draco malfoy, dm is a character. he is a person with a real personality.
4. he's not off tune/key/whatever. its just raw live music. its not been completely remastered to be like on an album
5. he has no intentions of being an actor forever. any one that does is pathetic and has no real talent

yay go tom!
j says – reply to this

247

He sounds really good!
alyrog says – reply to this

248

you know perez, some actors were trained musicians BEFORE becoming famous for just film or television work. not every actor is a HACK for cutting an album, some have music as a major passion and you shouldnt cut them down. i havent watched the youtube video, but yeah. now scarlett should NEVER be allowed to sing again, but joaquin phoenix comes from a musical background (river?! hello?!) so give him a chance! and draco too! you dont know his musical history!
dayana says – reply to this

249

he can actually sing!
me gusta
Natalie says – reply to this

HEY ~ TELL THAT FAT DUDE IN THE PICTURE TO TAKE HIS HAND OFF MY EMMA WATSON (Hermione Granger)
Rachhh says – reply to this

252

Wow. I was expecting it to be horrible, but I actually loved it!
Orlando says – reply to this

253

He has some serious talent going on there! A bit rough, but that's what I like about it! He's not looking for a record deal, he's doing all of this himself, and going low key. Very impressed! Looks like he's in it for love and not money!
Lady Vi says – reply to this

254

i dont get why people are complainin bout his accent, i think it makes the songs better, i bet half of these people on here that dont like it are people that dont like the HP films which is fair enough, but chances are, if they heard it and didnt know who it was by then they wouldnt be complainin so much, i think he has a good voice- its unique which is more than can be said for some people,
music is always better when it is raw and it hasnt been fucked about with just to impress people- that isnt talent its someone digitally changing your voice so you sound good, tom actually does have talent, although i agree that his guitar needs tuning, i would listen to him though…
Janiek says – reply to this

255

Not great but not bad either… i kinda like the relaxed soud of it… kinda kate nash style
hahahahah says – reply to this

256

He can play the guitar ok, but his singing is HORRIBLE! Oh god, make it stop!!!!

BrEnNeN! says – reply to this

260

hes so gorgeous! lol and hes pretty good, before he was in harry potter he was in a well known british choir for boys! so hes got chops!
Cristina says – reply to this

261

NOT bad at allllll…im so surprised
Natasha says – reply to this

262

I amnot at all suprised. I think that I saw in am interview a while ago that he was into music. And at least he can actually play the guitar. His voice still needs a little work. But I think he could definatly do something!

best of luck to him
Jess says – reply to this

263

Jess says – reply to this

266

LOVE IT
he's surprisingly pretty damn good
Cougar says – reply to this

267

Considering it's just him, a guitar and a mike, with none of the studio-assisted gimmicks most artists use, I think he sounds pretty good. Good luck to him.
kathleen says – reply to this

268

old news. he's not just another actor trying to be a musician, though. he really loves it.

Kk says – reply to this

273

Michelle says – reply to this

285

He's really not that bad a singer - though it's weird to see Malfoy smiling.
Cassie Angel says – reply to this

286

It's like Skipe from Buffy and Chris Keller had a kid!
mary says – reply to this

287

he definately has potential.
kariz says – reply to this

288

Not half bad! Kind of poppy and catchy and Beatle-y. Plus, he's cute as a freakin' button.
samii;' says – reply to this

289

i think it's pretty good! not as bad as i thought it'd bee!!!:)
snookerum says – reply to this

290

Seriously? Pretty awesome to me. It isn't the best, since he wrote it himself and would most probably need alot of brushing up to make it utterly perfect(if that is even possible). I think that I would need more from him to judge, though I really enjoy this already. You guys who heard the song but didn't see the lyric, go check it out. Cheesy but lovingly nice. The sort of thing that would sound horrible until a guy in love sings.
Sól says – reply to this

291

yeah…it's cute
Baillie says – reply to this

292

he's okay, i guess!
liked him better as Draco Malfoy, though!
actually.. "Time isn't healing" has started to grow on me! 7.5/10
Lauz says – reply to this

293

Not bad really, I quite like it actually, which I didn't think I would.

But didn't expect him to sing like that, no way
Chriss says – reply to this

294

wow…he's not bad!
Nanna says – reply to this

295

that is so not cool.. +o(
that was terrible singing
and wow…
