I wasn't aware music could burn the insides of my ears out until now.

[banalust]

It's pretty awful. I can't believe how offkey he is and I've never been a fan of Hugh's singing. I think he has a terrible voice and that whole Boy from Oz fiasco completely turned me off. This only makes it look worse.

Butchering one of my favorite Stones songs.

Anybody else wanted him to be decapitated by the helicopter blade?

[banalust]

I'm just glad the show was decapitated. It was an AWFUL project idea before it was even shot.

Hugh always comes up with the most ridiculous and often gayest ideas.

[rogan007]

now im a massive hugh jackman fan bt why oh why did he feel the need 2 do this...its cringe worthy!

so looking forward 2 wolverine...

[banalust]

Agreed. I never wanted to see Hugh in any musical. I know that's his background but personally I don't like his singing. I'd rahter see him play Logan opposite Marie instead of nancing around the stage.

This show deserved to be canceled and I'm glad it was.

[juxtonx]

"why would they cancel that? we need that"

Wow I've never wanted to claw my own ears out until I heard this! D:

Blackpool was sooooo much better! :D

[crissfoo96]

@TheVader2 cracked ? haha

[caz1764]

Blackpool did this concept of random-musical-numbers-in-an-o­therwise-average-police-drama very well. This...didn't.

Needs more David Tennant and talent.

i love Craig Ferguson's quote to Kristen Bell....

"it was only on for a few episodes...it was THAT good..." haha

[TheVader2]

Wikipedia describes it as "a mystery drama musical about businessman Ripley Holden." You read that correctly. It's a mystery TV show where the actors break into contemporary song when appropriate. It's important to note that spontaneously erupting into song is never technically appropriate, but no one told that to Laughlin's writers who genuinely believed that making the lead character jump onto a poker table and sing "Viva Las Vegas" was a reasonable and realistic decision.

I love Hugh Jackman and he sings great (remember the Oscar opening performance and Oklahoma?), dances and acts wonderfully but someone needs to let him know that he can say no to a project. Why oh why Hugh???? God this was bad. And why the hell does it sound like 2 people are singing really off key?

[Athils]

The suit was the least repulsive thing in this video. That's impressive.

[thevampirefrog06]

@banalust Jackman didn't come up with the idea. Blackpool did it first, and pretty damn well from what I hear. Search for "Blackpool the Gambler" and click on the first hit.

[gretchensey]

Love him....but that was painful.

[tinaUNDAcova]

I love the guy, but man......what was Hugh thinking?

[CookieEater7]

It's like Glee for adults.
