10. Vinnie Jones - Big Bad Leroy Brown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nz5F2aIWzw We kick the list off with Vinnie Jones. The footballer, turned actor, turned singer?! Yep, believe it or not the former Leeds United players talents don't just stop at squeezing Gascoignes balls so hard that veins can be seen popping out of his temple and declaring that he is the Juggernaut, Bitch! in X-Men: The Last Stand. He can also sing, or at least try to sing. If Vinnie Jones says he wants to give music a go, you smile, avoid airing any doubts and just let him get on with it. The midfielder was allowed to cover Jim Croces Big Bad Leroy Brown, which is actually quite a catchy folk-rock song when Croce sings it. Unfortunately, Jones cant carry a tune in the way old Jim could and instead delivers a tame, karaoke parody of one of the musicians more popular records before his untimely death at the tender age of thirty. While Jones isn't the most talented of singers, the song is not unbearable and his performance within the video seems pretty light-heart and slick. Still, nobody is complaining that he chose to ditch the music business after just one record. It can be assumed that it was indeed his choice.
