Gwyneth Paltrow No Novice to Singing on Film

Gwyneth Paltrow wowed the audience at the CMA Awards in November with her performance of the title song from her upcoming film "Country Strong". She also proved her singing chops with her November appearance on the FOX hit "Glee" as the singing substitute Holly Holliday.

Paltrow holds her own on the "Country Strong" soundtrack in four songs. In addition to the title track, she solos on "Shake That Thing" and "Coming Home". Gwyneth also gets the enviable job of singing a duet with country superstar - and co-star - Tim McGraw in "Me and Tennessee". Other country greats appearing on the soundtrack include Hank Williams, Jr. and Faith Hill.

While any "Glee" fan will expect the guest star to sing a song, Paltrow's Holly Holliday contributed four songs to the soundtrack of "The Substitute". Two of the songs were Glee's signature mashups including "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" and "Singin' in the Rain" blended with Rihanna's "Umbrella". A quick shot of Holly motivating her class with "Conjunction Junction" showed her teaching style. However, Paltrow's voice showed through with her cover of Cee-Lo's "Forget You".

This isn't the first time Paltrow has shown her singing chops on film.
