Video of the infamous Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay-Z duet
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
About a week ago, Jay-Z did a special concert at the Albert Hall in London. When it came time to perform “Song Cry,” he teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow, of all people. Behold the video of this totally bizarre duo. I guess now that Gwyneth is African, she has to show she’s got soul too.
English blog Hecklerspray has more background on the concert and delivers this verdict:
Forget that story yesterday about Screech from Saved By The Bell wiping his shitty fingers over a girl’s face; this is just about the most horrific thing we’ve ever heard all week.
I concur. Gwyneth’s shrieking is quite painful to listen to.

Soooo… not only is GwenGwen AFRICAN, she’s a R&B singer too? Hmmm. O…K…
Anyway, she probably sounded bad because the whole video lo0ked and sounded bad. Live may have sounded better.

I must be the odd person out. I didn`t think it was that bad. ( I thought the recording was not good).
But then again I was surprised when I heard G. Paltrow`s version of cruisin’ and actually like it (I didn`t know it was her when I 1st heard it and was quite shocked to say the truth when I found out)

I have to agree with M, I don’t see what the fuss is about.
I don’t think this has anything to do with her trying to have soul or be down or anything, Jay-Z is actually pretty close friends with Chris Martin and Gwyneth, he’s mentioned them several times in interviews.

I don’t have any objection to her being on stage with Jay-Z, you have to admit, her voice is terrible….
