Unexpected Dreams CD Giveaway

The Unexpected Dreams: Songs from the Stars CD was released today, featuring some of my favorite actors lending their voice talents. Whenever actors sing (or try to sing), it completely intrigues me and this new album is no exception! It’s obviously not the best singing in the world, but it’s sure fun to listen to.  The CD features 14 spellbinding tunes by composers including Elton John, Billy Joel, Sade, Bob Dylan, and Lennon/McCartney, beautifully sung (well, sometimes) and lushly orchestrated.  A portion of the proceeds will benefit “Music Matters,” the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s music education programs.  Here’s the Unexpected Dreams tracklisting –

  • Scarlett Johansson – “Summertime” (George & Ira Gershwin)
  • Ewan McGregor – “The Sweetest Gift” (Sade)
  • Taraji P. Henson – “In My Daughter’s Eyes” (James T. Slater)
  • Jennifer Garner – “My Heart Is So Full of You” (Frank Loesser)
  • Jeremy Irons – “To Make You Feel My Love” (Bob Dylan)
  • John Stamos – “Goodnight My Angel” (Billy Joel)
  • Lucy Lawless – “Little Child” (Eric Vetro/Alan Rich)
  • Marissa Jaret Winokur – “The Wish Song” (Eric Vetro/Steven Shore)
  • Eric McCormack – “The Greatest Discovery” (Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
  • Victor Garber – “No One Is Alone” (Stephen Sondheim)
  • Julia Louis-Dreyfus – “The Nightshift” (Brad Hall)
  • Nia Vardalos – “Golden Slumbers” (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
  • John C. Reilly – “Lullaby In Ragtime” (Sylvia Fine)
  • Teri Hatcher – “Goodnight” (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)

Looks like an interesting cd! Love the site :)

I love all the stars…can’t wait to get a free copy!!! Please pick me. Thanks!!

i love scarlett..**crosses fingers** hope i get chosen!

Interesting… I never knew Teri Hatcher or Jennifer Garner could sing… Can they??? I can’t wait to hear this :)

Lucy Lawless singing? Who’d have ever thunk?

This is a great idea. I can’t wait to hear what they sound like. Hopefully they’ll do this more often.

This looks great…hope I win!

Sold on Stamos.

Had no idea most of these actors could sing.

Love the Ewan song–then again he could sing the phone book and I’d still love it!

Nia? I won’t be surprised if her’s is one of the best….. she’s very talented.

This sounds intresting indeed. I’m very curious about several of those songs.

I’ve only heard Ewan sing in Moulin Rouge. I can’t wait to hear what the others sound like.

I’m skeptical about this CD but I’ll take a listen.

gimme, gimme free cd!

im looking forward to listening to ewan’s song!! i think he’s got a great voice and should sing more often.

I loved Jennifer Garner singing on Ailas. I am curious to hear how she would sound singing something else. And Victor Garber used to do Broadway so I know those two should do well. Yay for celeb singing!

Sounds like an interesting project. :)(Hopefully Canadians are eligible for this giveaway? :))

I don’t know if this is going to be awesome or awful. so of course i have to have it!

this site is awesome!

I think this CD will be interesting! I hope I win!! Pick Me! Pick Me!! PPPPLllleeeeaassee!!

I listened to the samples of each song online and I must say I’m impressed!!!! Sounds like a great CD to own :DAnd I’m thinking some of these actors should be involved in a movie-musical sometime soon…? Maybe…? :)
