In the show, Cruise's character sings Jon Bon Jovi's classic "Wanted Dead or Alive."

But, er, can Cruise carry a tune like his wife Katie Holmes?
"He can sing!" Shankman said. "It's a miracle!"

8Why people judge Tom Cruise on his personal life.Just Critic his movie not his private life.
Hey, Tom, what about the fact that you used Sea Org slave labor to do personal work for you via your best buddy David Miscavige? How can you just act like nothing is wrong when the world now has first hand knowledge of the horrible abuses of the Sea Org? Someday maybe you'll feel shame for knowing these things were going on and doing nothing about them. Shame on you, Tom Cruise.
