Michael Bolton with NicolletteMichael Bolton and Nicollette SheridanDesperate Housewife Nicollette Sheridan can apparently carry a tune rather well.

So much so that her fiance, Michael Bolton, is encouraging her to do something about it.

The Time, Love and Tenderness singer is so impressed with Nic's sultry tones he's been urging her to think about making a record.

But the 42-year-old actress is still getting over her stage fright, and clams up if she knows people are listening to her.

Michael said: "She's got a beautiful voice but she has been terrified to sing since she was a kid.

"If she were to record an album, I would think that a kind of smokey, jazzy, bluesy kinda thing would work.

"I think she could sound great doing a record like a Norah Jones record."

Better watch out, Norah...
