Here is the video. It's pretty bad but you can hear him "sing".

I checked these out and I don't know what to make of it. He sounds like a country singer. Or is that just the quality maybe? Is that why you put sing in quotes S_M_G? :) It was interesting. Good song though.

Anywho, when I first read Twilight, before I even knew about the movie (I got on the boat kind of late *sigh*) I pictured Rob as Edward. I always picture stars and people I know as characters in books.

He never really came across Edward-y, personality wise, but the looks are what did it for me. Rob's always kind of a mess and whenever you see him answer questions on the red carpet I get the feeling he's had too much NyQuil or stoned- which is why I like him. But he's really come through as Edward. And from the clips they're starting to show us- he appears to be more than hot, he can act and he can act well. He captures the character so well. He hasn't done much mainstream work prior to this so I wasn't sure what to think. I know he played Cedric in HPGOF but that was a bit part, important but small, so I couldn't really get a grip on his acting chops.

[Sidenote: I also always imagined Edward with a UK accent. (I know Edward isn't from the UK, but he's supposed to have that vaguely old-world type accent, so that's just what my imagination told me) did anyone else :?: ]

SO, when I found out that there were Twilight sequels- I almost peed. When I found out there was a Twilight movie- I almost had an aneurysm. When I found out Rob was playing Edward- I thought I was being punk'd, then I died.

i like the fact that people on here will say if they dont really enjoy his music, there are alot of people who say they like it just because he is who he is and i feel bad for him because of it, i actually like his music, i would like it even if i didnt know who was singing , but thats me.
i still think he is going to be great as Edward but i do worry about all the attention he is going to get when the film actually comes out, i mean he gets alot now, but fans of his know when to draw the line i guess, but i do think that when the film comes out there will be even more teenage girls after him simply because "like omg he is like SOOO HOT"
there are plenty of girls in the UK like that and i dont like it

I remember when my friends and I first heard that Rob would be playing Edward that we were kinda shocked and others we super mad. They said he wasn't quite right for the role. I like him for the part of Edward though. Rob has some big shoes to fill, but its hard to completely satisfy everyone with his version of Edward. We all have our dream Edward in our minds and I'm sure if he dropped out of the sky we would all die from shock lol. But I think that even though everyone has their own interpretation on who Edward should be, Rob is pretty good for the part. He's got the ability to appear tender and terrifying, plus he's pretty hot (thats always a bonus).

I think some of the people that were suggested instead of Robert were too "pretty". There is a huge difference between pretty and beautiful for a man. Robert has very angular features and looks like a "man" instead of a "boy". That's what makes him the perfect Edward for me. If I was a teenager I guess I might have imagined Edward as a "Jesse McCartney" type but now, I don't like "pretty boys". I hope I'm making sense ;)
