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'm surprised, but I actually like it. Good for him.
Not bad. I can definitely see myself getting drunk to it on a lawn chair somwhere. Probably the beach.
ha ha ha! that was horrible, but entertaining
I like it
he's talented . a little rough around the edges, but he has promise .
I love it!
I'm impressed. He's great, and so's his music.
OMG! I love it…he actually does have a very nice voice.
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
THIS IS SO GOOD! good for him
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.
i really like his voice. it has a certain quality even if its not perfect
not bad…the guitar cords are pretty good
I actually like it. It's a nice light song that makes me happy.
Tom felton has been singing in choirs since he was a kid.
its not really a crossover.
great guitar play. vocals suck arsssss
nice
i like it. he's cute & his songs are cute.
i really like it
I personally like Mr. Felton.
Alot.
His voice isn't excellent, but his guitar skills are!
LONG LIVE DRACO! lmao
Sounds like early Ben Lee, i like it! (i was surprised)
.
.
WOW IT'S QUITE GOOD REALLY !!! YOU CAN TELL IT'S FROM HIS HEART AND THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT THAT. . .
.
.
wow..i actually liked that..
he looks really good too.
i'd tap that
SO SEXY!!!
i love it!!!!
That actually wasn't bad.
yea i do actualy i thought i was going to hate it i was like ahh omg no wtf but then i listened to it and i was like omg so awsome
He's better than I thought he would be.
pretty good
its actually pretty good
he looks cute as well
He's actually really good, and his accent makes the songs better!
i like it i think if he plays his cards right . you know get hooked on meth or something and go to rehab he could really be something!
great voice…may be another triple threat in the works
not bad
not bad at all
i'd buy it
he's got potential….. which is a lot more then i can say for a ton of the other crossovers
Wow. I'm surprised. I kinda like it.
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!
i acctually liked itt:)
not too bad!!! Some of the lyrics are pretty corny, though.
raw.. but not bad at all. he definitely has potential
wow i expected him to suck
but hes really good!!
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!!!!!
He's okay, but I'm just sick of actors trying the Music scene!
I thought he was going to be bad but he's adorable! lol
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!
He sounds really good!
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!
he can actually sing!
me gusta
not bad =)
HEY ~ TELL THAT FAT DUDE IN THE PICTURE TO TAKE HIS HAND OFF MY EMMA WATSON (Hermione Granger)
Wow. I was expecting it to be horrible, but I actually loved it!
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!
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…
Not great but not bad either… i kinda like the relaxed soud of it… kinda kate nash style
He can play the guitar ok, but his singing is HORRIBLE! Oh god, make it stop!!!!
Not truely talented but better than his acting! And he is kinda cute.
Re: krystal –
Sorry, but he is TOTALLY off key.
…he may be cute…but he's a horrible singer
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!
NOT bad at allllll…im so surprised
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
haha 2nd guy from the left looks like steve carrell!
Oh he's a cute singer! (:
I thought that was super….he's only young, don't diss…
LOVE IT
he's surprisingly pretty damn good
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.
old news. he's not just another actor trying to be a musician, though. he really loves it.
I like it … it's sorta folk!!!
AWW.
Omg he's just so adorable.
I love it.
i actually really liked it
i think he is super hot. And this song is catchy im listening to it on iTunes rite now as i write this. God the unholy things i would do to Tom Felton. I do think it needs a lil bit of work bt he is soo hot that i would actually BUY his Cd. good for him.
he's not just a pretty face……… well he isn't a pretty face! but he's not bad! slightly like luke from the kooks
V. cute, I think.
He's got a pretty good voice, I'd buy an album from him, for sure!
i'm not going to lie…i actually like it.
i like it
i really liked it!
i love him/his music.
:]]
i can't wait for his album to come out!!
haha, i love harry potter too!!
:]]]]
I kinda like it
I dont mind the music… or his voice….. I'd shag him!
It actually wasnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be.
He's really good on the guitar too.
I like it a lot.
Re: Sarah – Yeah, he's been singing in choirs since he was a kid…
let us know when Edward Cullen, er i mean Robert Pattinson starts making music on youtube..cos that really would be worth watching..
i love it !
sounds so british lol
but i would definitly buy the album !
dont hate !
He's really not that bad a singer - though it's weird to see Malfoy smiling.
It's like Skipe from Buffy and Chris Keller had a kid!
he definately has potential.
Not half bad! Kind of poppy and catchy and Beatle-y. Plus, he's cute as a freakin' button.
i think it's pretty good! not as bad as i thought it'd bee!!!:)
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.
yeah…it's cute
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
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
wow…he's not bad!
that is so not cool.. +o(
that was terrible singing
and wow…
