Any chance for an English album, Tony?

Hi Tony!!!

I have been listening to you singing English oldies for a couple of times in your movies such as "Crazy" and "Tell Laura I love her". I must say that I'm so impressed with your interpretation of the songs and I absolutely love them~ =)

I understand that your main focus now is in making movies but.. I would like to ask whether there's any chance you would consider recording an English album? Singing some classic English songs, perhaps?

Dear Tony,

It will be nice if you can sing in English even if it is going to be a soundtrack for your movie. We are looking forward to listening to it in the future.

I think your voice is suited to sing in English, and I read in somewhere before that WKW once said "Only way to make Tony to sing without too much tension is to let him play a musician's role". Wink

So, it will be great, if you actually do that kind of role in the future.

Dear lishan627,

Thanks for the good question. Nice to know Tony's answer to this question.

Dear Tony,

Thanks for your quick reply Smile

I really hope that you do get a chance to sing English songs again in your upcoming movies~ I'm sure that many of your fans will be looking forward to it too =)

I agree with Eri that it will be interesting to see you play the role of a musician... As far as I know, you seldom play this kind of role, so perhaps it's a good opportunity to experience a different character!

By the way, I'm also quite curious whether you listen to English songs oftenly in your daily life... Perhaps, you like to sing along too? Wink

Dear Tony,

Do you like french music ?
We can listen one in the movie INCEPTION : "Non, je ne regrette rien » (singer : Edith Piaf). That is a old song !

dear all,

Do you know some french's singer or french's song ? ^^

A bientôt

Hi Tony

Hope someday you have the chance to make a new album or sing in one of your movies. Obviously I would love you to sing in English but would be happy to hear a new song from you in any language as your voice is magnificent coming from your heart and soul.

Hi Patricial

You asked did we know any french singers. I know of Edith Piaf Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien and La Vie En Rose. She was an iconic French singer, her music lives on even though she died so young. I've read a biography and seen a film about her. Her life was quite tragic but she sure had a great voice.

Serge Gainsbourg another iconic French singer his most famous song in my country being Je T'aime...moi non plus. His daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg also a singer but more famous here as an actress.

Vanessa Paradis had some acclaim here in the 90's with her songs Be My Baby and Joe Le Taxi, she has a lovely voice.

Sascha Distel was really famous here and in England during the 70's and 80's a very attractive looking man with a great voice, easy listening. His famous song being La Belle Vie...The Good Life. He also sang covers of other peoples songs, I liked his voice.

When I was a teenager during the 80's one of my favourite songs was Words by F.R. David it always brings back so many memories when I hear it. I later heard he was French, he only had the one hit here it went to number two in the charts I was always sad he never made number one.

That's everyone I can think of at the moment. I'm afraid no very up to date singers on my list. Who are your favourite singers? I'm sure Tony is on your list.

Best wishes...mary.

Hi Mary,

Of course Tony is on my list (how do you know it ? Smile

) and exactly on my top list !! Wink

I hope someday he can sing a french song but I think that was a dream !! Razz

I think english song is more possible.

Edith Piaf was a great singer and unfortunely I could not see the last movie about her life with Marion Cotillard. Did you see this movie ?

Now, I think that is difficult for our singers singing french language to be famous out of France.

Vanessa Paradis always sing. I like her recent song "Divine idylle" and "Dès que j'te vois" :
