'Grey's Anatomy's' Sara Ramirez gives props to her singing cast mates
The "Grey's Anatomy" music event is finally airing Thursday (March 31) and we'll finally see if Callie pulls through after a car accident that left her with several life-threatening injuries. Yet, whatever happens to her character, Sara Ramirez is still thrilled by the genre-crossing episode.
"It was very exciting, ['Grey's' creator Shonda Rhimes] has been wanting to do this since the show started," Ramirez tells Access Hollywood Live.
Tony award-winning Ramirez is quite the accomplished singer and just released an 8-song EP available on iTunes now. Yet despite all her experience, she says she still gets nervous when she performs.
"I get nervous every time [I sing] because I care," she says. "I think the day that you're not nervous, is the day you should start doing something else."
While Ramirez's character is the focus of this episode, many of her cast mates lend their voices to some of our favorite "Grey's" classics including songs by The Fray and Snow Patrol, among others and she says fans will be surprised to hear how good everyone else sings.
"It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase some peoples' talents," she says. "I think the surprise is about the people we don't know who can sing... We have great voices in our cast, I'm really proud of everybody."
Aren't you excited the music event is almost here? Or is your excitement dampered by the fact that we may lose Callie or her baby or both?

there was an error in the article. one of the bands mentioned in the article was "show patrol." the band's name is actually "snow patrol."
How ANNOYING is the singing on Grey's Anatomy tonight? Made me so stressed out with the talking & singing same time that I had to mute. I hope it's limited or I'll have to turn it off and read about the outcome later.
LOVE this singing - amazed at the talent of the cast! This is definitely "out of the box" for this program. I am just hoping they don't write off Callie - I like her character a lot.
I cannot stop laughing.....this is seriously the stupidest thing I have seen. It could have been a good episode and its ridiculous....are you freakin kidding me? And I am a fan
OMG .. what a mistake to add the music to Grey's!! It's a suspenseful enough episode with Callie's emergency. The singing is so nerve wrecking.
I'll watch the show every once in a while and have to admit that I was looking forward to this episode, not because of the singing but because of the episode itself. I was so disappointed in the first 20 minutes that I couldn't finish watching it. The singing is ridiculous and completely distracts from the story. I guess I'll have to wait and read later reviews to see what happens...if anyone is able to make it through.
Wow! What a horrible change to the show. To quote my husband "gay"
Are u serious?? the music is the best part of the show, makes me feel the story line, not just watch it..I LOVE the music
At first I thought the singing was just Callie's ghost so I endured it. It doesnt matter if the voices are good or not..it's like GLEE meets Medical drama... not the right combination for me and I never miss the show. If this is what to expect, Im moving on..
The singing was just awkward and unneccessary. Thank goodness for DVR so I could fast forward through it.
