Sometimes the roles don’t fit the artist, but sometimes the artists can’t fit the film at all. Either way, acting is not the same as making music. Here are some of the music stars who failed to make a good showing in the Hollywood movies.

• Beyonce

Jay Z’s wife began acting in the 2001 film Carmen: A Hip Hopera . After that, she acted in seven other films, but none of them were anything to brag about. The acting wasn’t really bad, but it wasn’t good either. One of the standout bad performances was in Austin Powers: Goldmember (2002). Acting isn’t for Beyonce, but she’s definitely one of the greatest singers of the generation.

• Keith Richards

The fans of Pirates of the Caribbean series were not satisfied with Keith’s acting performance. His mumbling didn’t help at all, but it did ruin some of the film’s best scenes. We could see why he has never tried to play and it’s better that way. Keith should focus on his band the Rolling Stones and let Johnny Depp boost his ratings as Depp’s latest films have not lived up to critics’ expectations.

• Justin Timberlake

Justin has been in many films but his performance has not been top notch. You may remember his roles in Alpha Dog (2006), The Love Guru (2008) and probably one of his best, The Social Network (2010) . But each of them was proof that he should focus on his concerts as they are more amazing. Also the movie runner runner (2013) could not achieve much as the profit in the first week was only 7.6 million USD.

• Jessica Simpson

The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) was not the film shown talented actors. In fact, the director couldn’t come up with anything good at all. Besides Jessica’s acting performance, any of these films should be avoided. She should clearly stick to her best side, which is her singing. The comedy Featured Movie Star (2008) is another reason Simpson should avoid the Hollywood scene.

• Mariah Carey

Not only the critics but also the fans were not happy with her Sparkle in the movie (2001). Mariah doesn’t do her job, even if it’s about singing these days. Her last performance wasn’t up to her level at all. Perhaps she should rest and devote herself to another career, but not acting. She received a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress in Sparkle and it should be reason enough not to act again.

• Britney Spears

While she was at the peak of her singing career, Britney attempted to be an actress in the film Crossroads (2002). The film didn’t get good reviews and neither did she. Acting is not for every singer and celebrity. Many like Spears have tried but failed. One film was enough for her to understand that.

• Prinz

Trying to be a director and an actor in a film is a very difficult challenge. Outstanding musician Prince tried to pursue an acting career by creating Under the Cherry Moon in 1986. Of course, the film failed to impress and was not up to scratch. Numerous bad reviews and details spoiled his fun and he never did tried again to make films or act in them.

• Kelly Clarkson

The good thing about Kelly is that she admits that acting isn’t for her. “The only shows you’re going to see me in are shows that I like and just want to hang out with the cast. I suck at acting,” she said. You can see her on Reba , American Bandstand, American Dreams and From Justin to Kelly , all of her roles are mediocre and her fans noticed it right away.

• KISS

The band KISS differs from everyone else on this list as all members have attempted to be actors. In her film Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Dark they have superpowers. The film wasn’t planned to be a comedy, but that’s exactly what it turned out to be as everyone laughed about it. The whole band should have avoided doing this movie as it is a parody of the Scooby Doo movie.

• vanilla icecream

Vanilla’s music career wasn’t very successful, but neither was his role in the Ninja Turtles episode. One of the worst rap artists in history, Vanilla also tried being an actress, which was also a bad idea. His cameo in the film made it worse for film critics. A completely unnecessary appearance with its music performance is a detail that makes the film really bad.
