Twilight Actor Wants To Release Album In 2011

Many actors have tried making the transition from film to music and Twilight star Robert Pattinson is just one of the latest celebrities who intends to do so. The actor has confirmed he wants to release an album in 2011.

The 23-year-old who has starred in both the Twilight and Harry Potter series, told The Sun he already writing material for the record.

"I want to do one at the end of the year," said Pattinson. "All my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it."

Since Pattinson recently revealed he had interest in becoming a musician, it's been said several major record labels are in a bidding war to sign the actor. Unlike most celebrities in the film industry, Pattinson has had experience when it comes to music as he contributed two songs for the score of the original Twilight movie.

"I don't know how people can act and also sing," he said. "I'll find some time to do it."

Who knows, maybe he'll be alright. Not a fan of Twilight, but he's a decent enough actor. Haven't cared enough to listen to his material.

Tom Felton wasn't that bad either, so who knows.

[Jon Rambo 7]

This sucks. Quality musicians and bands aren't discovered any more bc major labels just go after whatever is hot at the moment.. it doesn't matter if that hot commodity has ever made music before or has any talent at all. No wonder the music industry is dying.

[crazyhorse174]

So record labels are bidding to sign him, even though he hasn't actually done anything musical before?!

I think this story shows everything that is wrong with the music industry today...

[Big Spender]

^^ While he Isn't really my thing you clearly didn't read the whoole article, and now look rather silly

[everjump]

Well, that's some great news for 15year old girls

Err...yes I did read the whole article. Where does it say that he's released/demo'd any music? It says that he's writing stuff and decided that he wants to be a musician, nothing else and yet labels are bidding over him.

It says it here

Now GTFO.
I'd be interested in seeing how good this is. The guy that played Malfoy in the Harry Potter films has done music and it's actually pretty good.

[Stampede]

i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that pattinson was a musician before he was an actor (i think he sings much better than he acts). i think he started really young taking piano lessons and such. but, if you haven't heard rob pattinson's music you can go to youtube and search "let me sign" and "never think." they were both on the original twilight soundtrack and they're actually quiet good. he's a hell of a singer, and his voice is not quiet what you'd expect. he also plays guitars on both of the tracks i think.

i'm actually looking forward to his album.

[RemainingTruth]

"All my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it."

...

[everjump]

By the way, I would not trust to "The Sun". Not so long ago the wrote Noel Gallaghers statement on Liam's new band, later they had to apologize for the fake story.

[PIMO]

lol this is gonna fail hard as hell and lol wat? Malfoy made music?!! someone plz PM a link ive got to hear this

[Jack Darkley]

Smart move on his part. He realizes that sooner rather than later his fifteen minutes are going to be up. He's just enjoying the blank check that fame has given him. Let him. Who cares if it's some vanity project, when the Twilight movies are done it's not like he'll have a career anyway.

[emidog]

As if he needs another reason for idiot high school girls to wear T-shirts with his face on it. Is he not getting enough income from Hot Topic and really bad movies or something?

[TheBadPlace]

I'm reasonably certain this will be better than Twilight at any rate. Probably not gonna be my cup of tea, but he actually writes and plays an instrument, and his voice isn't that bad. Good for him.

[PRSfanatic]

Hahaha his fifteen minutes are already over. Now he wants more attention.h

[GigaSauce]

The first album will be named "Draining the life out of music"

amen

[Stampede]

i love how everybody is talking shit about pattinson when they probably haven't even heard his music. it's actually good.

[concho_valen]

can someone explain to me that he doing here?
I joined UG to get away from this guy and all that implies, pop, and twilight bad books and whatever people think is music
but now he is here?
We can escape?can we?
* runs away *

[§ynysterSte]

as long as its not autoTUNNNNNE, or studioed so much that itll go mainstream... please...(:

[uk.mace]

For those wondering, Robert's stuff can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11u7O-hYMRg
And Tom Felton's (Malfoy) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IANd9Ieii1Q

[maidenfan15]

LOL at all the people saying his fame is up. He's a good actor and when he's done with Twilight, many directors will be throwing themselves at him because of his fame.

He's a great singer, has made music before, and plays guitar. This is proof that a lot of UG seems to be jealous of anybody popular with a musical career.

OH NO!!!! He's a popular actor and his music will probably be enjoyed by people without neckbeards! Maybe even....girls. Good for him.

And anybody who says the music industry is dying is an idiot. It's stronger than ever. Just because your favorite bands aren't on the radio as much anymore doesn't mean all music now is bad. Get over it.

[dementiacaptain]

wow for people that despise him so much you guys have made a lot of comments then eh? haha

[?????]

wtf????
there will be no point trying to talk to girls in 2011

[kid jesus]

^ lol. that's probably true.

that said, though, he's actually not bad. i can't understand half of his words when he sings, but he has a lot of passion in his voice. it's really not as gay as most of you probably assume.

[fuzzybanjo]

he wants to release an album because all his friends are?
i thought this guy couldn't get any stupider.
hey maybe if we can get some of his friends to jump off a bridge, he will too!

[-TyEe-]

what a joke man. People work their whole lives to just get into the public eye. With the flick of his dick, he can become the #1 on the muchbullshit billboard for a year. Twadlight (probly a half ass musician) is just making 8 year old girls a little more horny with this so called "new" career of his. Enough said

[mygibsonrocks]

He actually has some pretty sweet acoustic stuff that isn't really mainstream really. It's kinda like pearl jam-esque to be completely honest. at least "let me sign" is. just give it a chance before you judge it

[-TyEe-]

Ok... i just listened to it. Guitar work, is kinda cool. But you know, i look at this song as if it were any regular joe. Now do you think, that this song i billboard material. Personally, i don't think so. But the unfortunatly its gonna be.

This is right, ask a lot of musicians and its about hard work and in quite a few cases, luck.
Apart from that i don't think he's going to lose sleep at night because some guy that refuses to give his music a chance simply because he's been in a successful movie series and is more popular with the ladies than he is says a few bad words about him.

look dude
a girl talk to u
first: he is the worst actor ever!!
the only reason cuz he have fame is cuz my friends are in love with edward cullen, and i thank all the days i get over that guy

second: we are not jealous, is just isnt fair that some great band doesnt have their oportunty cuz "the popular kid want to sing"

All my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it."

is that a good reason to start singing?
no isnt
when you like music u give a s*** is the other person is doing well, you do it cuz you love it, even if no one does, you love it.

third:
some girl are smart enought to know he isnt a prince, and yeah, maybe he do sing good, but you really thinks girl like him cuz he sing good? NO
no, we dont do it. and yeah maybe some guy and me like his music. but thats not the reason cuz he have luck with girls

four:
ok, music industry is not dying, and yeah they dont play our music thats and yes, they are good song, but if you compare in the last time, music industry now is just a thing to sell, today isnt about music, today is about everything, except music.

[maidenfan15]

first: he is the worst actor ever!!
the only reason cuz he have fame is cuz my friends are in love with edward cullen, and i thank all the days i get over that guy

Wrong. He's not a bad actor. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

second: we are not jealous, is just isnt fair that some great band doesnt have their oportunty cuz "the popular kid want to sing"

Your logic is wrong. You say he doesn't have to work to get his music noticed but you know why he's famous in the first place? Because he worked his ass off to become an actor. Obviously if he's a popular actor, his music will probably sell well, that's not his fault.

And for the record, you type like a total idiot and should be ashamed of yourself.

[maidenfan15]

^ok that deleted most of my message somehow and I can't be damned to type it all again.

1. He's a good actor. That's a fact. He's popular in the first palce because he worked his ass off to become an actor so don't complain that he's getting any freebies.

2. The music industy has always been about money. Don't kid yourself and say it wasn't because it makes you look like an idiot.

[Big Spender]

He was great in Harry Potter, Twilight was just shocking all round. That said, it has some terrific actors in it (like Elisabeth Reaser) so it just goes to show how bad direction and an unoriginal story can affect an outcome.

First:
if it is very difficult to talk in English with an accent and say .... I am ... a vampire .... and i know he is a bad actor because i take acting classes and many things he does are wrong accordin acting teachers , plus I'm not the only how think so, but i remember he was nominated for worst actor, ok, he has work hard to get far. but that does not mean it is good.

Second:
the music industry has always been about money but before they care about talent, even if today there is good music , but now imports more the image or fame, rather than the true talent, if you do not believe, please search one of the bands here on UG, is multi-talented band that could not take their chance because the discographies give more importance to the image, rather than the real talent, I mean it was better before

third:
if I write bad,i apologize for not speaking English but I am not ashamed of it

[Solarstar101]

*sigh*

1 word:
why

[Nor'Easterbass]

oh my god KILLL MEEEEE...what makes famous people think "oh yeah, today i'm gonna be a pro musician"?!?!

[Cobrevolution]

Okay, fools, time to clear this up.

It's fairly obvious that most of you have not heard him sing. He has a crazy, deep, bluesy, soul-filled voice. I'm not sure if he plays guitar or not, but goddamn, I was ****ing SHOCKED when I heard this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H47oQH1TW4

Now, I'm not saying he's the best, but he definitely has potential. Just needs to work on his anunciation and some other things, probably nothing a vocal coach can't help him get over.

If he releases an album wherein he showcases his full talent, I will definitely listen to it, and be proud of it. He's done more than just Twilight (Remember Me, for instance...my god...), and if he's a good singer, **** it, why not?

I've actually heard the song that he did for the movie. He has a damn good blues voice. He can ****ing sing.

Anyway, maybe you should listen to him before you judge next time, because this guy HAS talent, and HAS made music before.

I still HATE Twilight though.

[nick_b]

"I don't know how people can act and also sing," he said.

Jared Leto, anyone?

[BrokenBricks]

I swear either half of you are 12 or somebody put a link to this page on an autism message board. This isn't about whether or not he can sing and play guitar decent, most of the people on this site can do one or both. And that's the point, he's just some ock with some songs. Just like all of us. And while he has labels jumping for him, real musicians who have and are still paying their dues are starving in rotted vans or getting paid in beer at shitty clubs. Wake up.

[guitarnoob_100]

[quote]i take acting classes and many things he does are wrong accordin acting teachers , plus I'm not the only how think so, but i remember he was nominated for worst actor/quote]

So was Halle Berry (sp?) and Sandra Bullock, who also won Oscars.

[Cobrevolution]

BrokenBricks: He's some ock with songs who has connections and has the resources to do something else with his talent. While I agree that companies bidding for him prior to him even having songs made is ridiculous, I don't think you can compare him to some small time local club players. Life's unfair like that, but this isn't one of those situations where people should be irked over it.

Okay, but the reason he is wanted by many labels is because he's famous in the first place. He earned this by working hard to become an actor. Obviously since he's already famous, labels will want him. It would be like if Slash wanted to act in a movie. If he was good, directors would jump all over him because he's famous.

READ THE DAMN ARTICLE! HE HAS MADE SONGS BEFORE

[Mit Wasser]

I'm callin bullshit on this one. It just goes to show the horrible state the industry is in. what happened th the world

[Mr Pringle]

i hope he goes for a melodic hardcore sound

[dyld094]

I'm open to hear what the guy can do, it's just a shame that the largest part of his fan base won't like it for the music, they'll just like it because he's Edward Cullen.

[Cobrevolution]

Correct, his voice is not terrible, but it's clear that he needs to work on it to reveal his full potential.

[glosoli]

Not a twilight fan at all, but I've heard a couple of his songs and they're not bad. Not generic at all, he has a pretty individual style at least.

[jokeyramone]

so i guess all the twilight stardom,just isnt enough...but hey bruce willis did the same thing,and so did don johnson,david hasselhoff,julliette lewis,paris hilton,john goodman,joe pesci,and other dweebs...hmmmmm,why not try acting-MARILYN MANSON.

[nightraven]

checked

[MyUserName777]

This guy sounds like such a tool. So basically he is jealous of his friends, as if he wasn't popular enough among teenage girls, so now he wants to release some record industry commercial crap just to prove that he's better. Lame. Hopefully I'm proven wrong

Im a big fan of his music, which has been around for a while, so he aint jumping on any bandwagon u douches. Ill be looking forward to it for sure, great acoustic music!

[kid jesus]

oh, and to all you saying omg he only wants to sing cause his friends are...no. he's been doing music for a while. he's saying that he wants to RECORD AN ALBUM because his friends are. not START SINGING because his friends are. he's said before that he just didn't have time to record an album. so now, it seems. he's going to make time.
