He has got a good voice hasn't he? I had to go back and listen to Gone again after reading your post :)
I had heard him say that he'd had singing lessons and everything, so I was interested in hearing what he sounded like, but when I'd heard him sing in movies and everything I didn't think he was that great. I didn't think he was bad, but not brilliant and I was a bit disappointed. But then when I heard him singing on Saturday Night Live I was really impressed! I think you're right about him singing in character, or maybe he just hadn't been singing songs that suited him vocally? Either way I'm sure now he is a good singer and I'd like to hear him record something too :D
