EDDIE MURPHY DOESN'T WANT TO SING IT AGAIN

Why are we not surprised that Eddie Murphy turned DOWN a request by the Academy to sing his Dreamgirls nominated song “Patience” at the Oscars? It would have been a fabulous number if it was anything like the movie. Insiders suspect that Eddie felt insecure about his voice. As much as he loves to sing, he doesn’t have the greatest voice and it requires a lot of doctoring up and enhancing in the studio. A live act might reveal shortcomings so Eddie opted out.

   why don’t they have Eddie Murphy lipsynch ithe song like all the other performers do.
   a lot of concerts these days are expensive karaoke performances.
   Milli Vanilli can be his backup dancers
   he was really mean to freaky teaky scary spice. shes pregnant with his baby for buckwheat’s sake.
   personally, im sick of all the people in dreamgirls and i want them to just stfu.

   Isn’t that true of most “singers” these days?

   Whatever the movie people did…Eddie Murphy was fabulous in DreamGirls. Most of the vocals were sweetened in DreamGirls, it happens all the time (ask Madonna about her albums and live shows). He and the woefully ignored Anika Noni Rose were the best actors in the movie (and that includes Hudson). I believe since Eddie is not a live performer he is nervous about doing a show that is seen by 1 billion people.

   Eddie Murphy.
   Can’t sing.
   Can’t act.
   Can date Johnny Gill, though.
