maybe I want to play too

I LOVE JENSEN ACKLES.

Oh, wait.

Seriously though. I don't think he's that uh, good at the singing. He's not horrible, no. But the only reason I'd buy his album is because it's JENSEN and not because I thought he was good.

And I mean Jensen not Dean, just so we're clear. I think I like Dean's singing more but not a lot - just slightly better

I couldn't be more jealous of Danneel and Sandy if I tried and yet I sort of want to pet them.

Which isn't really an opinion or an unpopular one, just a fact that exists in my life

i think jensen is a pretty bad singer.
when he sings i think, 'hehe, cute.'

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hah!

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

I think I like Dean's singing more but not a lot - just slightly better

I know his taste in music is a lot better than Jensen's.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what Jensen listens too. I mean besides Carlson and Manns and I think they're okay.

[delicatelight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think he's that great a singer, either. I mean, he's okay, but let's face it, he's not the next coming.

But, yeah. Still love him and his mediocre voice. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't even think he's the third coming. :p

[resounding-echo.livejournal.com]

His singing is amusing in that popular-jock-high-schooler-sings-in-the-talent-show-not- because-he's-talented-but-because-he's-popular way.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

He's Johnny Nogerelli

[getyourguns.livejournal.com]

I agree. People exaggerate how AMAZING he is just because it's him. If it was just some dude, they'd say that is was shit. I think he trys to sing through his nose and make his voice more gruff and manly, because he sings pretty high. It's still cute though and I'd hit it like the fist of an angry god. And I don't get Danneel and Sandy. They're just... girlfriends and bad actresses. I don't care about 'em, frankly.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I think Jensen's regular speaking voice is kind of high or at least compared to Dean's voice - but he speaks in Dean's low tones often that uhm, he doesn't use his normal voice anymore. Or something.

I don't think Danneel's a bad actress - I enjoyed her a lot on OTH but Sandy? I kinda wish that she were better. I just enjoy her because she's adorable.

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

i concur with everything you stated above, meesha *nod*

his voice isn't the greatest, but it ain't half bad

*cookies*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*glomp*

[jeyhawk.livejournal.com]

Jensen's voice is pretty mundane. I kinda think he can sing in the same way I can. He can hold a tune and he's not horrible, but there's nothing special about his singing voice. :0P

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Maybe the two of you should put out a record "The Texan and the Swede : Mundane Music at it's Mediocriest"

[trutdelamode.livejournal.com]

Yup, I agree *nods* The other Michelle told me about the youtube clips a little while ago and I told her he's not bad, he's a pretty decent back up, but I would not like to listen to an entire album, and I'm totally one of those girls that pretty much squees about anything Jensen related :d

He sounds too much like a 12 year old to me

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Which other Michelle?

And now I'm picturing Jensen wearing a dress and singing back up to ... I have no idea. And why is he in a dress? I DUNNO.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

I like Dean's happy, bouncy lip-syncing. :D

Jensen's singing has never stuck in my head long enough for me to have an opinion. What I mean is, I never remember afterwards what he sounded like and I don't really seek out clips of him singing or anything.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I have a song or two on my mp3 player and Jensen sings back up and I just ... Meh.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

I like his singing better because he doesn't think he's that good at it.

Earlier today it hit me that Sandy gets to fuck Jared and that I'm really jealous of that. It's not like I didn't know this before but all of a sudden I guess I really realized that she gets to fuck Jared Padalecki and that made me jealous.

I'm having a weird day.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Is he actually being modest about his singing or is he fishing for compliments?

I totally get that.

[mistojen.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm so glad I wasn't the first to say that. Here's the thing, RIGHT OFF THE BAT when I heard people going on and on about how great Jensen's singing was, I had to hear it (because Dean's one thing, but I figure Jensen's probably another, because I know when I sing as ME, it sounds different than when I used to sing in a character role) and well...I wasn't impressed. He's not awful, or anything; the guy can definitely hold a tune...but angels don't fly out of his asshole when he starts to sing or anything, so what's the big damn deal?

As for Daneell and Sandy, well, I don't know Danneel's work at all (save the tampon scene in TIH that's all over Youtube), so I can't give an opinion on it. She's fucking hot, though; I'd do her. Sandy...heh. Okay, I LOVE Sandy, I do. But I think her work in Supernatural was mediocre at best and that's all that most of fandom knows her for, other than being Jared's hot girlfriend. I saw Cry_Wolf and I thought she was really good, but then I've also watched her demo reel at her webpage, so, it's like...sometimes she's really ON and sometimes she's really BAD. I'd pay to BE her for a day, don't get me wrong ;) but other than in still form, I can't say I'm super duper impressed with the girls, either.

So maybe your opinion isn't as unpopular as you think?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I thought maybe I was missing something when I first heard him sing but I've heard one of the songs he sings on quite a few times and yeah, I still don't get it.

I STRONGLY AGREE. I feel so fucking bad for her when she's ... BAD. I just. I cringe.

[pocketfullof.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware that those were unpopular opinions. Hmmm. I mean, I've never heard Jensen sing except for on the show, and I wasn't impressed, though I don't think I was meant to be.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't know that they actually are.

Jensen sings back up (http://www.sendspace.com/file/p2vpwm). I don't think the main guy singing is all the great either.

[tiffiny.livejournal.com]

Naked with Jared...

Wait what's going on here?

[tiffiny.livejournal.com]

I agree with you on Jensen's singing. From the way it is talked about online I would think he was amazing and missed his calling as a singer. I don't know why people get so excited not that I wouldn't buy his album because I love him.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Cos he's Jensen and he's pretty? *shrugs*

[devidarkwolf.livejournal.com]

We haven't heard much of his singing besides his backup, really!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I know. Maybe his full frontal singing is better and I'll change my mind.

[somedayleaving.livejournal.com]

But, but, but, don't you see, everything Jensen does is perfect....(there's a Danneel joke to be made there, but I'm tired).

::eyeroll:: whatever. Trying to keep up with the crazy opinions of factions of fandom is exhausting.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

And now Jensen and Danneel's relationship has turned into Mannequin. Well, sorta - I don't remember that much about the movie.

IT IS. But I wanted to sheep and play.

[tinybars.livejournal.com]

Well he can hold a tune and I can't at all, so I guess I can "admire" him for that. I mean, when he sang in that one episode I didn't want to cover my ears and cry. I'm sorry, I can't separate Jensen from Dean in this one aspect. Are people actually saying he's brilliant or something?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Not brilliant, I don't think I've read that anywhere. Just in the past there's been a lot of squee and such and I thought I was missing the point but I dunno now.

[sj0126.livejournal.com]

i dont think he's like an amazingly great singer- for me it was more of a surprise that he could even sing at all. i think thats why he doesn't do it very often. he loves music but he knows hes not that great. plus you know he wouldn't like all that extra attention

oh man danneel and sandy. i'm jealous of them for just getting to see how jensen and jared are like, without even thinking dirty thoughts.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

jealous of them for just getting to see how jensen and jared are like

That'd be nice, eh?

[smeckles90.livejournal.com]

That's the funny thing, because I love Jensen more than Jared, I thought I'd hate Danneel...but I really don't other than an insane jealousy (I wouldn't mind being her, that's for sure), not that I can explain why. Bizarre, eh?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind being her either and not for the Jensen factor either.

[popmusicjunkie.livejournal.com]

You say unpopular opinion, I say trufax.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Heh. I think "trufax" is said at least once on everybody's "unpopular opinion."

[sarah-p.livejournal.com]

I just randomly have to interject that THIS IS MY FAVORITE ICON EVER. And I use it all of the time. AND YOU MADE IT, AND THEREFORE, HAVE COMPLTETED ME.

That is all. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

You just made my insides feel awesome.

[ant3ka.livejournal.com]

Dude, how can that be an unpopular opinion if everyone in the post agrees with you? *L* Oh, Smidge, you have MINIONS. :)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I didn't think that many people would agree with me and for everyone that's commented there's someone who's thought, 'You don't know what you're talking about bitch!'

I have no minions.

[uglyduckling-me.livejournal.com]

I think I love him more because he acknowledges that he's not great and all that crap. It's still 2 steps up from me since I'm terrified of singing in front of people and not because I suck, cuz I don't (there is some modesty there)...I'm just paranoid about being judged.

I'm definitely with ya on the jealousy vs. petting bit. I'd make a deal with the Devil just to see those boys in their normal, everyday life for one day. I really would.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Part of me would like to see them just being ... themselves and such but then on the other hand. Not so much. Because then they'd just be boys. And meh.

I like that Jensen thinks he's ehh about singing.

[quidditchkiss.livejournal.com]

Jensen isn't Frank Sinatra, but he's pretty okay.
I think, for me personally, it makes him... normal? I don't know if that makes sense at all. lol

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I think it does.

[pie_andcoffee]

i've read the comments and this is probably the most-kiss-Jensen's-ass response you're likely to get:

his voice is perfect for singing [to jared] in bed after hot sexxing. with the scruff, and the eye crinkles, and the lip bite, with the bedsheets tangled around their heads, and they're arguing about who is going to turn out the light, and who did it last time. and because jensen won't stop singing to him, jared leaps out of bed, snaps off the light, and dives straight back under the covers and starts tickling him until he chokes.

that is all.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Obviously then. Yes.
