haha have you seen his tony medley? he mentions that he can't dance because he would be reprising his role as logan and 'wolverine does not do high kicks!'

He actually prefers the stage much more than film. I just heard an interview with him on the radio.

Very Impressive. Now I actually believe that it was him singing as Memphis in HAPPY FEET. At first I didn't believe it cause my interaction with Jackman were limited to his movie roles like Wolverine and Van Helsing. Now I believe it.

I absolutely agree with you 100%its a given he is an amazingly talented individual. I LOVE Gordon McRae and would say vocally I probably just prefer him over Hugh, BUT its so close and with Hugh's fantastic acting, he just wins me over. Its very intelligent performing.

Ill tell you know, when I saw this (we have the DVD) I was very suprised at his ability. At the scene where he fights Judd, I was waiting for the wolverine claws to come out LOL.

Not his calling? Are you out of your mind?! I grew up with Gordon McRae's Curly, which was the quintessential performance. But then I saw this version, and Hugh Jackman nails every aspect of this character. I'd venture to say it's the way it's been filmed that would lead you to believe this is anything short of perfection.
