james earl jones fake album cover for justin bieber baby James Earl Jones was recently cajoled into reciting Justin Bieber's smash hit "Baby" on the Gayle King Show, and now the video is all over the web. It's a bit jarring to hear a respected 80-year-old actor with a deep bass voice delivering the words of a high-voiced 16-year-old singer -- a kid whose music, by the way, James Earl Jones has never listened to.

You know what, though? It's not nearly jarring enough.The only thing weirder than listening to the voice of Darth Vader reciting teen pop is hearing the voice of Darth Vader singing teen pop. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present ... the remix?

(And no, we didn't auto-tune James Earl Jones. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that would be a crime in 36 states.)

What a disgrace. A person with one of the greatest voices in film/TV history gets induced by Oprah's wife, Gayle, into singing one of the 10+ year olds God one of his "songs." Most of you don't remember when JEJ did the famous "This Is CNN" line for Ted Turner in Atlanta. If you're a fan of that little 16-year-old piece of crap, you also don't remember, "I'm your father, Luke."

What a disgrace. One of the best voices in film/TV being humiliated by Oprah's wife, Gayle King, to sing the song of that little 16-year-old piece of s---. This punk will go down the same street as Britney Spears when he is 18. Rehab several times, and no one will remember his name.

Like his version better nothing like a voice of authority leading me on than the whining voice of a pubescent adolescent. Can he b cajoled 2 perform luv 2 luv u baby with the same fervor of Donna Summer

What many don't know is that James Earl Jones had a terrible stutter as a child and as such was basically "mute" until an English teacher in high school showed him a way to overcome the stutter. Imagine how close the world was to never having heard this man's impressive voice.
