Filed under things I don’t approve of: Scarlett Johansson’s record deal

Today I heard Scarlett's track "Falling Down" off of her upcoming Tom Wait's cover album Anywhere I Lay My Head, due out May 20. The vocal comparisons to Sinead O'Connor are sure to bubble up, but this won't muddle my original thought, which is: I'm furious this girl got a record contract. I'm sorry, I just don't think she deserves an album. Why, because she wants one? This isn't like a celebrity fragrance where you go to a big manufacturer and stamp your name on a bottle in your favorite color. This is art! This is MUSIC! Call me close-minded, but I don't care if her album is better than Lindsay Lohan's or even Ashlee Simpson's. I am anti. S.Jo -- stick to making movies.
