This year has certainly been an exciting time for the music business; with the revivals and returns of the best of yesteryear, here at baitmag we decided to take a look at all those celebrities who took a crack at the music business but didn’t quiet make the cut.

So from embarrassing videos to tuneless tunes let’s take a look at why these celebrities should just stick to their day jobs:

Hayden Panettiere: yes Hero’s sweetheart Hayden is one of the many celebrities who thought her blonde locks would guarantee huge success in the charts. Her single Wake Up Call is admittedly catchy but the Caribbean beat and the club night mix just don’t really work. And the costume changes and ‘disguises’ are just a little to similar to Britney’s signature video theme (how can we forget Womanizer and Toxic). Basically its Britney Spears meets Paris Hilton…. can someone please save the cheerleader here!

Wake Up Call

Tyra Banks: Any fan of America’s Next Top Model will remember that during season 2 the model mogul decided to release her first single Shake Ya Body but not even appearances from the top models and Jay Manuel could save this single from Chart disaster. It’s a catchy number that perhaps didn’t get the credit it deserves- let hope Oprah doesn’t follow suit.

Paris Hilton: Forever keen to branch out her empire (and spread her unique brand of philosophy and self motivation ‘that’s hot’) Paris decided to release a single of her own entitled Stars are Blind. Thankfully she had enough sense not to release ballads like Celine Dion, but leaned towards a beach tune which arguably did see some success. Her follow up single Nothing in this World is a catchy dance number, paired up with a video that proves staying on Paris’s good side guarantees huge popularity. A fair attempt but the songs (and videos for that matter) just showcase her pout and self gratifying nature- guess she didn’t really branch that far out then.

Nothing In This World

J C Chasez: After watching Mouseketeer and fellow NSYNC member Justin Timberlake excel in his solo career, Chasez probably felt he was destine for the same success- think again. Despite his collaboration with Basement Jaxx his singles Plug It In and Girls Dance with Women didn’t really create a huge stir in the charts. Guessing from the names the former Boy Band Bopper probably saw this as an opportunity to shake off his neat clean image but with songs like ‘Slept with my Best Friend’s girlfriend’ he wasn’t likely to become a Grammy winning artist was he!

Plug It In

Nicole Ritchie: oh yes she and her BFF have both been victims of the music monster- her single Dandelion is more mellow and sombre in comparison to Stars are Blind. Comparably her single is more likely to appear on our ipod playlists, but not something that could blow the charts away. Good attempt by Little Ritchie.

Britney Murphy: Former clueless star has seen huge success in the film industry, her single Faster Kill Pussycat (turn me out) was a decent attempt at a dance track and is incredibly catchy.The actress didn’t follow on with an album but this is a venture that she doesn’t have to cringe at.

So here is our list of just some of the few Celebrities who have tried and failed in the music industry- if we started venturing through every failed solo career we could see ourselves looking through an endless list of techno-pop disasters. Doesn’t it make you feel good to know celebrities are not perfect at everything!
