Leona Lewis goes full Avatard

Here’s I See You, Leona Lewis’ artificially heartfelt single for James Cameron’s Avatar.
Ugh. The fan boys will have a high time crapping on this one, but they need to realize they’re not the only target audience for the movie. Cameron and Fox need everyone to see it and most people more than once.
This song is certain to appeal to the massive “loves shitty music” demographic that keeps the Grammys on the air every year.

I can’t listen to that. I tried. It was too terrible. I think there is now blood shooting out of my eardrums.
lol. It sounds ot me like every one of those kinds of songs. I don’t know Ms. Lewis from a hole in the ground filled with Shinola. I’m sure she’s talented, but I’m not buying what she’s selling. Just not my cuppa tea.
Speaking of the Grammys, did you guys know that there is an award for “best album liner notes”? I had no idea. Gonzo’s liner notes are up as a nominee, which is how I found out. That one was big news.
Is that an untelevised award?
Can you imagine being a celebrity hired on to present at the Grammys and you get stuck with Best Liner Notes?
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lost art to good liner notes (I love reading the ones from the early days of LPs, but I’m weird that way), but it’s not exactly a glam award.
hahah….Vulture had the best comment about the Avatar song: “Maybe it’ll sound better in 3-D” http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2009/12/leona_lewiss_avatar_theme_song.html
Vulture is always hilarious.
They lose bonus points for an odd obsession with male nudity in movies and gratuitous use of the word “Wang”, but yeah, they’re usually pretty funny.
As a matter of fact, the Tall Man from Phantasm won a Grammy for liner notes in an existence prior to his late-career foray into glowering villainy — a statement which sounds like some kind of absurd, inscrutable gag, but is not. Google it.
I listened to roughly eight seconds of the song. It was exactly what I expected. Craig is right – they just change the words (and not very much at that).
Angus Scrimm has a Grammy? That is awesome.
