"Annie Lennox To Sing For ROTK!
7/21/03, 9:56 am EST - Xoanon

Sven writes: I've just been watching an interview programme in Oz called "Enough Rope" with Andrew Denton. This evening one of his guests was Annie Lennox of "Eurythmics" fame. It was an engaging interview but of particular interest was her mention of spending the "last couple of days in studio" recording music that she's been invited to work on for "the next Lord Of The Rings film..". Looks like we'll be hearing her beautiful voice in ROTK. Can't wait!"

Gack. Now, I'm not too well-versed on Annie Lennox and her singing... but I can't think that someone from the Eurythmics would really have the right style for these movies. Any thoughts from those who might know her work?

Annie on RotK

[(Anonymous)]

She has a beautiful voice, I think it will all boil down to what type of songs they have her singing, ya know, if they are *right* for the movie.
Love ya! Mom

Well, I hope you're right, 'cause it's been confirmed with a transcript from the interview.

I wonder what happened to Liv Tyler's song? Or will they be keeping that as well? Also, I read that Miranda Otto (as Eowyn, of course) sings a lament for her cousin Theodred (you know, the one who died) in the extended cut of TTT. I'm dying to hear it... I'll bet she's got a pretty voice. It's probably going to make me cry.
