Controversial opinion: Cara Delevingne actually has a nice singing voice?

World premiere of 'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets'

You guys know I’m not a Cara Delevingne fan. I think she’s a nepotism model who plays the “poor little rich girl” card too often. I think she’s a bad actress who well-deserved impostor syndrome. I find her rude and unprofessional in interviews. So I went into this thinking, “Oh, great, Cara is branching out to find that she sucks at something else.” But I was genuinely surprised. Cara stars in the upcoming Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and Rihanna has a supporting role in the film too. They’ve been friendly for a while. So it’s not particularly surprising that Cara and Rihanna collaborated on a song. What is surprising? This is not a trainwreck. Cara’s voice isn’t bad at all. It’s sort of New-Age jazzy.

The song is called “I Feel Everything” and it doesn’t seem to “go” with the sci-fi film, but whatever. It would not seem out of place whatsoever in a romantic comedy or some kind of modern romance film. You know where this would have gone well? La La Land. Dare I say… I would not hate if Cara gave up acting for singing? She’s terrible on-screen, but maybe she wouldn’t be such a charisma vacuum if she was on stage, performing as a singer.

Here’s Cara eating hot wings and talking about music and music festivals and a lot of other stuff. Call me crazy, but she didn’t annoy me at all in this video either. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

    She “sings” as well as Rih which isn’t saying much.
    Meh.

  2. Loopy says:

    Hmmm its decent, belongs more on the West End…not quite Gwyneth Paltrow good.

  3. Maple Girl says:

    I don’t think she’s such a bad actress either. She just needs strong direction. And some of the lines in Valerian Meryl Streep couldn’t say with conviction, that’s how bad they were.

    • No Dignity in that says:

      The pictures and the lines and the actions and the plot in Valerian didn’t match. Picture-wise it was modern artsy stuff and reminded me of Jupiter Ascending which bombed, too. Lines-wise it was an attempt at James Bond. And action-wise it was supposed to be Bruce Lee but that failed, too. Plot-wise it was a mixture of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek and James Bond which didn’t work either.

      Cara has delivered just 2 major roles, so far. In Suicide Squad she didn’t have to do much acting / that was an easy part. She was the baddy goddess / scientist. And her scientist wasn’t very convincing, when she stood in that cave she looked like some brainless twat who had accidentally fallen into a big whole.
      In Valerian she didn’t really deliver. What kind of character was she supposed to be? Smart sidekick? She just wasn’t. Could have been the writing, though.

    Yuck…that hairstyle has got to go. I think she’s very attractive, but she also has somewhat masculine features. Short hair doesn’t suit her.

    • No Dignity in that says:

      That style is very 20ies/30ies. But it works only with a slap of red lipstick. I bet Cara is too “artsy” to do red lips.

  5. Jeesie says:

    I thought she was pretty good in Valerian actually. She has screen presence. If the writing had been better I’d have said it was a great part for her. I also really liked her in Anna Karenina.

    Everything else she’s been in has been totally irredeemable, so I wouldn’t judge her acting too badly based on that. Her ability to pick projects, maybe.

    • GiBee says:

      Wait, in Anna Karenina? When she sits in a carriage and looks up at a window? Did I miss more of her part in that?

  6. Meg says:

    That old footage of her with Michelle Rodriguez at an NBA game clearly high or drunk still creeps me out of what people in that industry do to get by-stay thin, stay sane after being in such a superficial industry. Why were they even there? They clearly didn’t care about the game but spent enough to get floor tickets. It must have been an excuse for publicity.

    • No Dignity in that says:

      It is worse.
      Not only did they spend enough for floor tickets but they apparently are sufficiently well-connected to get a chance to buy them.
      If they paid for the tickets at all, that is.

  7. No Dignity in that says:

    I suppose that now that Cara’s acting career has imploded thanks to that mess called “Valerian” … rich and well-connected talentless upper class twit gets another shot at a celebrity career and this time it is singing???

    Some people fall upwards the career ladder no matter how talentless they are???

  8. Margo S. says:

    Wow. Didn’t expect to like this song. Really cool and her voice isn’t terrible… Kaiser, you have blown my mind.

  9. G says:

    I don’t know why, but I kind of like her. I think she’s actually a good model, unlike her sister Poppy, who is a great example of why being thin, blonde, and rich isn’t nearly enough. And she seems to be herself, for better or for worse.

  10. MrsT says:

    I dont like her looks, voice or acting and I’m really not hating. She’s just….not exceptionally talented to me.
