Adam Sandler was one of the most successful comedians to ever emerge from Saturday Night Live and one of his most basic, yet memorable characters had Sandler perform as “Operaman”, which was just Sandler singing in an operatic voice in a wig and cape, and singing his jokes. It wasn’t exactly genius, but like most of his SNL characters it worked. Still, does an Opera character (especially one with no signature songs) belong in this Hall?

From the attempted parody of American Idol (Called American Dreamz) we have a jihadist whose singing ability gives him the ability to compete on the American Dreamz competition. His love of showmanship apparently is greater than his desire for seventy-two virgins as he does not go through the plan to kill the President of the United States who is at the finale and we learn at the end that he made it to Broadway.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
American Dreamz (2006)

Actor:
Sam Golzari

Songs you might remember:
Impossible Dream

Why you should vote for him:
Are we the only ones who have a soft spot for reformed terrorists who can sing a show tune?

Why you should not vote for him:
Look at what we typed above.

From Family Guy, we have Stewie Griffin’s attempt at musical genius when he paired up with Olivia Fuller and became a part of a two year old accumulative pair named “Olivia and Stewie” and sang for retirement homes, before they split up and Olivia became a star on her own. Do a few showtunes make a Fictitious Rock and Roll HOF candidate? It shouldn’t, but anything Stewie Griffin can’t be ignored.



The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Family Guy (2002)

Actors:
Seth McFarlane (Stewie)
Rachel McFarlane (Olivia)

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
Family Guy has done more music than most animated shows combined.

Why you should not vote for them:
This is not a Rock act by any stretch.

We can’t obviously speak for everyone, but for our money the ultimate guilty pleasure film is the 1972 film, the Poseidon Adventure. The acting was bad, the names were huge, but none of that mattered! One of the featured characters trying to survive was from the band, on the form of Nonnie Parry who may have had an inappropriate relationship with Red Skeleton (or so we thought), but she did survive; though never to play horrible music with her dead brother.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

Actor:
Carol Lynley

Songs you might remember:
The Morning After

Why you should vote for her:
She was one of ten people to survive the capsized ship.

Why you should not vote for her:
If she were not in the film, would it have mattered? Also, what did she do musically?
