Gwyneth Paltrow was on Glee last night as a special guest. She played a substitute teacher for the Glee club while Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schuester) was out sick. Just like Mr. Schuester, she had to play a part in many of the students' songs. Now, I knew Gwyneth was a great actress, but I did not know she could sing. Frankly, I didn't think she was all that great. Her voice also did not mesh well with the other actors, especially Rachel's. Gwyneth wasn't the best dancer either, especially in the Chicago piece.
So why was she singing? My mother was able to point out that Gwyneth was promoting her new movie, "Country Strong", where she plays a country singer. I hope she sings a lot better in the movie than she did on Glee. It is going to be hard for me to see that movie anyway because I don't like country music.
I have been watching a lot of television lately but I have not seen the trailer for this movie (and it is scheduled to come out in a couple of months). However, I guess there was an article in the local paper promoting the movie. In addition, earlier, I was sitting at Arby's and I saw an advertisement for the movie. Apparently if you get a small beverage, you have a chance to win a trip to the "Country Strong" movie premiere and to meet a lead cast member (probably not Gwyneth), free music downloads from the soundtrack, or autographed movie memorabilia.
Now, we could get lucky and she could be a great singer like Nicole Kidman (in my opinion) in Moulin Rouge or terrible like Lindsey Lohan in a Prairie Home Companion. Hopefully she is a decent singer, otherwise it will wreck the movie. Not knowing what the plot of the movie is yet, it may already be ruined. I guess we'll find out.
