I started this thread on the old forum, so I figured I'd bring it back (especially for all the newbies )!
Ben Barnes has an awesome voice. he had a qiuck appearence in a boy band some time ago and he sounds great. should he sing a song for the credidts of VotDT?
I think he should.....

Well, I've never heard his voice, so I wouldn't know, but if it's as good as you say, then I think he should!
But, in the end, it all comes down to what the producers and stuff decide, and whether Ben would want a song of his to be played.

As long as the general public doesn't know it's him that's singing! That would be awkward if his name was in the credits as a singer and an actor.
I think the odds of Ben wanting to remind the public he was in a boy band by singing in VDT are about as likely as the underworld freezing over and Satan taking up ice dancing, but that's just me.
Personally, I LOVE this video. Ben's voice sounds so awesome in it.
Having him sing a song on the end-credits would probably end up being cheesy and unnecessary. Ben isn't that great a singer, so i would hope they could find someone much better than him to do the end-credits music.
Having him sing in character during the movie however would depend on the context, and only if it were for a justifiable reason, and not just shoe-horned in somewhere to appease the fan-girl masses. The book mentions that Caspian anticipated there being occasions when the crew would be "singing catches or telling stories" so i wouldn't mind if Caspian were to lead the crew in a bit of a sing-song during the movie - it could be used to quite good effect if done right (see Master & Commander for example)
icarus: hey, I forgot about that part of the book! I hope he sings with the crew.....that would be cool!

That would be so cool....but probably very unlikely!

I don't think he should sing. He has a lovely voice but I can't see it really going along with the "feel" for VOTD. It'd probably come off as more cheesy then anything else. However, for anyone who thinks he has a bad voice...if you haven't heard his song from Easy Virtue you should!

Hmmm Ben sing? I don't know how good his voice is so I would not know...........

LOL, when I saw this thread, I thought it meant that Caspian was going to sing while on the Dawn Treader..
I don't really mind whether he does it or not. It would be kinda cool, but only if it's done well and doesn't come off as cheesy or anything.

I guess I'd vote no on this one, but not a forceful no
I don't think so. His voice isn't that great and it would be cheesy, unless they did it really casually where it's not a preformance. Like icarus said, in Master and Commander, something like that would be fine...
if they did it Master And Commander style, then it might be cool.....as long as Ben doesn't play a violen or bass!
