Video of Taylor Momsen Singing With "The Pretty Reckless" at the Annex in NYC

Taylor Momsen Performs With Her Band — Keep on Singing or Stick to Acting?

May 6, 2009

Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless, took the stage at the Annex in NYC last night. We finally get the chance to hear Taylor's singing voice and read some reviews of her performance, after the news that she's working on an album. Her voice is surprisingly edgy and Taylor looks comfortable performing on stage, so tell us — should she keep on singing or stick to acting?

I think when she was better when she was a kid, she was Cindy Lou Who, in the movie how The Grinch Stole Christmas. I think now she sounds too raspy, I think she should just stay being Jenny on Gossip Girl, because she's an amazing actress, and should stick to that! Please don't get me wrong I'm a huge Taylor Momsen fan, but as her being Jenny, on Gossip Girl.

i think she should have a different style of singing. like how she did on the grinch. she was good when her voice was sweet and not stained. i liked it and all, all though it's not my kind of music, i still think maybe a different style would suit her. she might not be able to sing again if she keeps trying so hard to sound punk. plus i hate her new look. it's like so not what she should look like. it's too dark for her face. she has a sweet face. but anywho i just think something a little different might be better. peace && love, Mileyfan2102009

courtney love?! PLEASE - TRY KURT COBAIN! she seriously sounds like a drug addicted man. just because she can "rock out" (whatever the hell that means) does not mean that this music is at all original or good or that she has talent. I absolutely cannot stand this stupid little girl. there should be a third option -"Just go away completely."

Wow, this one is hard to decide. Her voice was terrible but her acting is not really better. I'd rather not see her singing or acting.

I find it funny that people had no faith in this at all, but she's actually good!

I think she sounds good! She kinda looks like she's on drugs though..

I really think she should quit acting, actually. I don't really care about her singing, but as long as it keeps her away from the camera, sounds good to me!

She was always an actress/singer-- she sang in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I don't know how I feel about her singing yet... however, I do like Leighton's singing style.
