Keira Knightley singing Maybe It's Because

[curly208]

She has a decent voice, but I was more distracted by her black lip liner.

[IrishBoorah]

the buisness version is better :L

[partygirl209]

she's amazing!!

[mannonty2799]

I dont know but her voice is very different when she speaks so I don't believe this is her voice and I give my like to the voice singing.

[Sahana247]

I love this movie, I didn't know she did this scene live though...

[Chumpiix]

absolutely hypnotic.

[TheWerbowy]

it's not her

[moonsugar1]

This isnt recorded live. Even if the audio was its been messed around with in the studio afterwards. I can tell by ear but the biggest clue is right at the start and 0:37, with the reverby sound, like your in a hall or somewhere with alot of echo, its been mixed.

Theres technology easily available to anyone now that can autotune your vocals, but its certainly her voice and shes using some techniques that computers cant do, so shes still done a good job.

And I cant stay mad at those eyes! ;)

[blinkbatterblink]

Wow. This is annoying.... it's ovious that she has no "real" talent. It's too baby-ish....

[zmw96]

Haha: lol reading the arguements on whether she actually sang live:)

[199027ification]

VERY GOOD!! 

[ILoveHorses370]

Whoa... The only time I've heard her sing otherwise was in the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean, singing Hoist the colors. She's awesome... :)

[iluvrimmel]

She's the best actress ever! she's so underated, I hate it ): But she prefers low budget films over blockbusters.

[Genesis2091]

Holy Crap.. I had no idea she could sing and no idea if she did, she would sound like that.

[AriannaPULP]

Someone could say me what kind of music is this?

I don't know how to find it on iternet...

[ILoveHorses370]

@AriannaPULP I think it's like french or something, but it's definetley an older sort. Hope I kinda helped!! :)

[TaintedXCross]

Ok. At first, I didn't like it but meh...she has an old-world voice. =)

[Charlotte2791]

Omg her singing voice is beautiful!!! Just as beautiful as her :)

[nat00ben06]

KK has always been a little above a mediocre actress imo, but as a singer mmmphh she has about as much soul as a french fry. She's not somebodies songbird.

[Prometheus1st]

I am a dinosaur I guess because every time I see modern actresses and singers/artists/models sporting the 30's-40's look/style I wish I had a time-machine. So glamorous and beautiful. Christine Aguilera: Ain't no other man, Regina Spektor: Us, Keira Knightley: Maybe it's because, and many, many more I have failed to mention. And how about the guys? Damn I'd have loved to roll up in a 'Zoot-Suit' in a club where Desi Arnaz was playing. (with Regina on my arm, hahaha)

Those were the days.

[CattailsandRoses]

yep,I'm a detective! I'll have to watch Amadeus again and also the one set in Pittsburgh in which he played a sweet simple guy whose brother was a doctor,I think? I'll have to check what else he's done--he's a great actor

[tomhulcelover]

@CattailsandRoses yup yup :) hes awsome haha

[tomhulcelover]

omg shes sooooo pretty :D and shes no professional singer but she sings better than i ever could haha

[CattailsandRoses]

@tomhulcelover Amadeus fan?

[tomhulcelover]

@CattailsandRoses yessssss!! haha you cud tell by my user name huh?

[rhehika22]

Wow she can sing..

[cirfia]

cillian murphy eh? im intruiged what is this film?

[lincliff1]

@cirfia The Edge of Love. It's about the relationship between Dylan Thomas, his wife, his ex-love and her husband. Beautifully shot & some lovely performances.

[4exgold]

jesus, would somebody please take her to burger king.....then mcdonalds...then kfc.

[northernlights12345]

she does look like the typical singer for that day and age

[vaulterbabiee]

i like her better as an actress

[tokyoluv97]

it doesn't sound like her, she sounds american

[hahalufs9]

Lol I know this song from the old capital.fm adverts except they changed it to maybe it's because I'm a Londoner XD

[JennifurLoveHugetits]

her voice is dreamy. professionally dreamy.

[ApenootJ]

I think Keira is one of the most beautiful women in the world!!:)

I wish I looked like her! XD

[stuknietastrzyga]

omg she reminds me natalie portman here ! ; o btw both of her are beautiful <3 i love keira and natalie so much <3

[MyVanityfairs]

Keira is so beautiful and not enough, she has a beautiful voice too!

God gave too much to her! :D

[P00PD0G89]

Finally, an actress who doesn't do some shitty pop song.

[sweeney60]

She should be in a biopic about Bernadette peters.

[JimShadyUK]

Damnit - I hoped she'd be singing "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner".

[LiltedLullaby]

That's great!

[VanessaxoX3]

When I read that she was almost casted as Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera I didn't believe it. Now after watching this I can.

[usaofwhateverrr]

does anyone else think its sketchy that if she's really this good at singing, why wouldn't she sing more often in movies?

idk, me thinks this maybe cheating just a little bit...

[MarilyHearts]

@usaofwhateverrr So, you're saying it's 'sketchy' and 'cheating' to be as talented as her? She just hasn't been in roles that call for singing.

[Mongoose015]

@usaofwhateverrr Do grow up a bit please.

[usaofwhateverrr]

@Mongoose015 yeah because what i said is so immature right?

[Mongoose015]

@usaofwhateverrr "Cheating just a little bit" - please get some common sense.

[usaofwhateverrr]

@Mongoose015 This is not a matter of common sense. It was just a statement. You're pitiful if you fully believe what you are watching is real. Film my dear has come a long way. I wouldn't expect you to know anything about it.

[nando87100]

i agree

[irishdance5539121]

thumbs up if you think keira is an amazing actress (and probably one of the best!)

[Laodie128]

she has got a perfect voice *_*

[sweeneylover18]

she can sing!!!!!???? of course..... she might as well be perfect then.

[amidthephantomsrose]

wow!!! I didn't know she could sing! She sings nice!!! :D

[Sunsisopho]

That is her singing? Oh my gosh, she's amazing!

[GrLuie]

She has lovely voice.

[BlueZephyr16]

she was considered for the role of christine in the phantom of the opera. no wonder!

[AiRuStudio]

Good actress, beautiful girl, nice person, and now...great singer!!!! I'm very impressed with this voice. It's not a incredible voice, but it's very sweet, soft, charming. There is something you can't do, keira???? XD

[birgiteke]

is that really kiera she is cool ^^

[starryeyeschick]

Oh wow, Keira can do everything! She's such an amazing actress. :D

[crazierthings]

her voice is lovely ... she looks a lot like leighton meester here ....

[alicenighthawk]

I wonder if she can sing live!!!

[fuhbloom]

this scene was filmed live :)

[ntherewas1]

@fuhbloom no...they record her singing afterwards, just like any other film clip they put sound in after

[fuhbloom]

@ntherewas1 no its not! Keira said loads of times in interviews it has recorded live.

[neilmccathie]

@fuhbloom Behave.

[caraszmatic]

@fuhbloom I hate to be the voice of reason, but they mix the sound in any movie...they don't put the raw audio in. They invest way too much money in a project to do that. It's a blockbuster movie, they are going to have top-notch sound editors making the sound the best it can be.

[rachray83]

@fuhbloom Exactly

[rachray83]

@ntherewas1 actually in Keira's interview they were going to prerecord then the director changed his mind and it was done live

[rachray83]

@alicenighthawk this scene was filmed live, so the answer is yes

[monatalie]

She is so brave, she dares to do almost any kind of role and she proves she has many different talents and skills

[lucyfway]

her voice is beautiful! *-*

[EllieUnderworld]

i didnt know she sould sing, but she can.

[eunicron]

Wow, Keira.

[Silver54ful]

She has a pleasent & pretty voice for songs like this. She's also a heck of a lot better then most of the tacky Pop stars working today! That being said though I'm not pleased to hear she will be playing Eliza. The score written for that character is much more demanding & it requires a legit soprano. I would call Keira a Light Lyric pop singer like Emmy Rossum. Eliza should be played by at least a dramatic coultura if not full-fledged Lyric coultura who has had experience in Musical Theatre.

[fiddleriddler]

Sure, she has an okay, pretty voice. But it makes me so depressed what low standards people have for actual good singing. This ain't it.

[entertainer106]

YOU SAID IT!

[kmayallpol]

i'm glad she has a good voice, it was just announced she's definitely playing eliza in my fair lady :)

[satine188]

beautiful voice :)

[lahepoiss123]

she is Perfect in any way

[sagsahuaman]

alguien sabe quien canta la version original de esta cancion, o si alguna orquesta la toco en instrumental?

[monatalie]

No estoy cien por cien segura, pero creo que la compuso y escribió Irving Berlin y que la cantó en un principio Nat King Cole. Billi Bauer tiene una versión instrumental. Las dos las puedes encontrar aquí en youtube. El título completo de la canción es Maybe it's because I love you too much. Espero que te sirva =)

[HPAbby]

She has a nice voice!

[katalina522]

Holy crap. That song is annoyingly difficult, short though it is, and she kicked its ass. Mad props to her!

And it's definitely her. Her name is listed in credits for the score.

[Amixz501]

she sounds great¡

[ForsakenAngelX]

i don't think she's actually the one singing...this is a clip from a movie so i think maybe she could of been lip singing

[leorabk]

she is singing bc in an interview she said something like her mom would only give her the part if she sang or something like that.

[ClaireBearOhYeahx]

yes i read that interview too!! it's geniune keira singing.

[ClaireBearOhYeahx]

i mean genuine...

[kingtothis]

Nope, it's actually her. You can see it in the music credits and read about it in the interviews. (:

[McFlyTomLover]

she good.

[ThatGurlKeira]

shes ok ...but she stole my name !!! its not even her real name ..and the name keira was quite unusual before she became famous now everywhere u look thers lil keiras toddlin about

[TheScepticism]

u should have stole her appearance, but u didn't :(

[lampshadeprincess]

im called keira too... but mines spelt the irish way... ciara

=)

[erikazilla]

omg she's probably one of the luckiest women on earth...matthew macfadyen, james mcavoy, johnny depp, orlando bloom, ralph fiennes....and cillian murphy! swwoooon

[AlbinoWolfCub]

why does that look like scarlet johansson?

[jaimejames13]

it's been confirmed that she sings in the movie. search the internet.

[feedmecoolshit]

yes because EVERYTHING on the internet is TRUE.

[erikazilla]

lol

[XMattie90X]

in the guardian newspaper its reported that she had singing lessons for the film, and yes it is her singing, she is also in talks to be in the my fair lady remake, with her as eliza

[DiWalles]

Wonderful song and film!

[khflippinfreak]

Wow...I didn't know she could sing! :D

[Solarissis]

Wow she has a beautiful voice, i love her so much, my favorite young actress,

[LoveHowardBanister]

I was so amazed at her voice.

[sendul1111]

her face is perfect! beautiful eyes, beautiful nose, sexy lips, beauttiful!!

[mittaBlack]

omg she sings as beutiful as she looks!

she's bloody amazing!<3

[MultiKhan123]

i love her too is all movie is the best

[Chrisio0]

her voice is so awesome and she's looking so gorgeous... Kira I love you =]

[polinochkangel]

good voice!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow.. :0)

[dontwantnopop]

keira is awesome.

[misspotterfan]

it's probably not her.....she could be miming with someone elses voice...

[joejonasloveforlife]

wow i didn't know that she can sing too!!!

but sghe did great.. beautiful voice..

[BallerinaKine]

SHE IS SO PRETTY !!

[marinesgirl1989]

She sings pretty, I'm surprised. I think she looks so pretty with that old fasione curly brown hair.

[tucktucklingling]

and the red lipstick looks amazing

[scottycee15hiiy]

Maybe its because im a glasweegian

[preciouzpistol]

I was suprised when I heard how well she can sing!She has a classic/old-time sound 2 her voice,the style reminds me of singers from the 40-50's era,she doesnt have a "modern" voice but the style she has is coming back & becoming popular again w/ alot of female singers these days.Alot of singers r also trying to emulate singer's voices nowadays like Amy Winehouse and Duffy-They both have that old time jazz/r&b sound to their voices,kinda like an Etta James style.Keira looks gorgeous here,luv her!

[Sarahsg]

wow!! i didn't know Keira could sing!! she sings very well!! she has such a sweet voice...

[twilightjellybeans]

whoa, i didn't know her voice was this good!

i heard that she auditioned for the film role of phantom of the opera, but i was like laughing cuz i didn't think she could sing, but here she proves that she actuallty can!

[EmeraldSky33]

I really like her voice! She sounds a bit untrained on the higher notes, though she did say she took lessons for the role, but even the worst parts are not bad at all, and she obviously has at least some natural talent. Her vibrato is very pretty!

Em

[kady2284]

i read today that she is going to be the lead in a remake of "my fair lady"....i love that musical!!!

[AdriannaXInsane]

She is so pretty

And she sings really well.

[savingjane18]

she sings really good, but she looks a little weird

[ArabellaSwann]

oh thats so pretty

[nimmidiel]

She sings beautifully!

[alexisbenette]

she looks weird

[jeninerm]

Is it really Keira who's singing? :O I never thought that :S It's very nice though :) Like it alot<3

[keb89llh]

i agree w/ lucifer150 -btw i have a random question - do u think that these movie stars search stuff like this and read all the comments or even post them back? random i kno :P

[fuhbloom]

ahah I would like to believe that yes, they do that, but I really don't think so :P

but we never know right? :O ;)

[JaiHyuga]

Where can i download the original of this song?!?! I cant find it anywhere!!!! :(

[aninhaas103]

the song is on the soundtrack album of the film :)

[CarmellaKey]

You can get it off iTunes if you type in the Edge of Love

[ArabellaSwann]

well she doesnt coz she said in a magazine that she doesnt read anything about her because if she believes the good stuff she has to believe the bad stuff to. they probably wouldnt have a lot of time to either. good question though.

[Lucifer150]

YOU SING BEAUTIFLY! <3 :D
