Top 20 Actors Who Are Surprisingly Good Singers

[@quinnieh8310]

The lack of Michelle Pfeiffer on this list is unforgivable. Not only did she do all of her own singing as Susie Diamond in The Fabulous Baker Boys (one of the greatest acting performances of the 1980s/90s), but she was also offered a professional recording contract, which she turned down. Her rendition of "Makin Whoopee" in the film is one of the most famous movie scenes of all time. She's also sung in Grease 2, The Prince of Egypt, and Hairspray, and recorded a song for Murder on the Orient Express at Kenneth Branagh's insistence.

Right but it says “surprisingly good” and he is widely known as a singer. As it is I wish this list weren’t filled with people who have starred in major movie musicals.

There is also Alan Thicke who is good but how on Earth could they forget to mention the talents of Henry Connick Jr, the dude is a classy act and sings like a superstar.
