Cohen is now going to RAP Pirelli's part!? I don't really know what to think of this... anyone else?

If his singing was so bad, can't they just dub him instead of having to have him make a fool of himself by singing in the rap style?! Pirelli doing rap?! OMG! NO NO NOOO!!!!!!! THEY'LL BUTCHER THE MOVIE!!!! Shocked Crying or Very sad

I belive that I read somewhere else that this rumor has been defuted.
Orestes Fasting

Yeah, I saw another article claiming that. But the article I read also said that they'd contacted the studio, which had vehemently denied that any such thing was taking place.

Take it with a grain of salt, folks, and don't freak out until it's confirmed.
Sweeney Hyde

I am worried enough for the movie just because of Depp. I mean come on! Does he REALLY have the voice to be Sweeney?!? He doesn't look like a Sweeney either in the tradition sence. ei. big build, talk, pale (which really insent a problem), and scary.

I wouldn't trust that site. I haven't heard anything at all about this and I seriously doubt it would be allowed.

Thankfully, Cohen will not "rap" Pirelli's songs.
Sadly, Depp is without question Todd. All our fears remain unallayed. It's worth a trip to the IMDb Todd message board to see the bloody battle raging over Depp's (in)ability to properly portray Todd. I, unfortunately, have developed a seething hatred of the waif I at one time respected as a talented actor.

One of the FAQ questions asks about Pirelli and confirms that he won't be rapping.
EponineBarker

Okay, I know now that he won't be rapping (Thanks for the link!) but one question, do you think that they meant that he was gonna "talk-sing" the role?
