Can this save Aguilera from her Bionic balls up? 'Burlesque' trailer

Singers sing. Actors act. Singers sing on albums. Actors act in films. Here is a film starring two singers.



There's a reason that singers quite often go on to become actors. It's because real singers don't just sing; they emote the lyrics. So we have no qualms with this whatsoever. In fact, if we're being totally honest, we're quite excited about 'Burlesque'. Well, more excited about it than the prospect of Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo in the Yogi Bear movie.

Here are some reasons why:

ZOMG Cher can't even move her mouth to speak any more! "inshtead of pntng a cnvs yr pntng a fashe".

ZOMG it's the waitress from backstage, as portrayed by international all singing all dancing sensation Christina Aguilera, I wonder how the mild mannered waitress is going to survive in the rough, tough world of the nightclub where you need to be able to sing and dance. Hold on, she is opening her mouth: "Ooooohohhhwooooohooohoooowooooohooohooohohoooooo".

ZOMG some awful dialogue. "what's your name?" "Alice" "Well Alice, welcome to Wonderzzzzzzzzzzz"

Let's face it this is going to be both brilliant and appalling at the same time, and when it's over someone is going to have to prise our thighs from around the pillars in the cinema foyer where we are spinning around and doing our best Christina wail. Oh dear.
