Watch: Neymar shows off his singing voice in cringeworthy video

Mirror UK

It's hard to be critical of Barcelona star Neymar, especially after he led Brazil to Olympic gold and quieted critics during his decorated three-year spell with the Catalan giant.

Now established on the continent and enjoying a stellar career with the defending La Liga winner, Neymar has begun to dabble in other areas of interest; first with an appearance in the upcoming Vin Diesel release "xXx: Return of Xander Cage," and more recently, in music.

The 24-year-old Santos-reared attacker released a teaser video of him singing and playing the keyboard on his Facebook page, and my word is it horrendous. Performing the ballad "Yo Necesito," the copper-topped stud gives a tone-deaf rendition of the Portuguese-language tune.

It seems Justin Bieber may be a better footballer than Neymar is a singer.

After providing four assists during Tuesday's 7-0 Champions League drubbing of Celtic, it appears that there are still some realms where Neymar could use a little help.
