Jan 4 2008 02:43 PM ET 0Share Defending Meryl Streep's right to sing in 'Mamma Mia

During the holidays, I spoke with a number of people who, like me, I saw the trailer in July, Mamma Mia! (Right photo) - the sexy, the love story Mediterranean salt tubes marked time with ABBA. Unlike me, however, most were unenthused - if not baffled by - the idea that Meryl Streep will star in a musical.But in this story. I always wear this suspicion Meryl: She loves to sing! (By nature, it is. Although reportedly studied singing as a child, he had acute nerves when asked to perform songs from Hollywood Bowl in 2006 promoting the A Prairie Home Companion).You will hear the voice singing Streep makes cameos in 1983 Silkwood, Ironweed, 1987, 1990 Postcards from the Edge, 1992 Death Becomes Her, 1998 by Dancing in Lughnasa - and he was not a professional singer Prairie (left), she danced (uncredited) in a big production number opposite Greg Kinnear in 2003 Stuck On you.I As the protagonist of Mother Courage and Her Children in the 2006 production of Shakespeare in the Park in New York, has built up out of Brecht. And I also heard her singing the blues, while driving a car with my niece, children's CDs of 2004 Philadelphia Chickens (fun fact: the other singers were Grammy-nominated album includes Natasha Richardson, Eric Stoltz, Scott Bakula, and Kevin Kline). Streep warbling may be frequently breathy and occasionally faltering, but can not bring harmony, and obviously enjoys the art of interpreting a song.After all that bother you, it may be Streep finally got what may have been his dream all the time: the lead in a musical. Meryl and Mamma Mia! may be a better choice than anyone expected - at least, the quality of the action are a flop musical theater number or soar. I'm quite looking forward to a performance which, if not quite in tune, will probably be full of joy. Meanwhile, how many of you PopWatchers remember other examples Streep sings forgotten over the years, in a film or elsewhere?
