Top 20 Moments We Found Out an Actor Was a Great Singer

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Catherine Zeta-Jones is the best part of _Chicago._ Her bold, powerful singing voice made every number she was in one of the best in the film.

[@user-PuppyDan]

Fun fact about Catherine Zeta-Jones, when she was younger she had to have a tracheostomy tube put in due to an allergic rection she had. (basically a hole is made into the trachea below the obstruction to allow the person to breath.) A lot of times people who have had it done suffer with scaring. Any close ups of her neck you'll notice a small scar running across her neck which is where the insison was made. I know because I have my own, tube not scar, however I know what thye look like and she did an interview on a pritish tv show where she talked about it.

[@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n]

She DID win an Oscar for her performance as Velma, and deservedly so!

[@MsMojo]

Thank you

[@teddycathester7517]

I first heard her sing in Rock of Ages, which (disappointingly) wasn't even mentioned (and I liked better than any of her numbers in Chicago).

[@KellyNorman-wu6qr]

​@@MsMojoyou totally forgot about Alyssa Milano who's not only perfect great and is royalty but she also can sing very well.

[@trinaq]

Amanda should definitely record an album someday. I know that she's technically featured on the "Mamma Mia" and "Les Miserables" soundtracks, but I'd love to hear her sing original material! 🎶💖

[@kootybear]

I said the same thing after watching MAMA Mia the first time. Gorgeous voice

[@sburris65]

Granted, I'm a Broadway geek. But most of these people came from a musical background to start with. So it shouldn't have come as a shock they could sing. The one that blew me away, though was John C Reilly in Chicago. When he sang Mr Cellophane, it was beautiful ❤

[@CortexNewsService]

Catherine was from musical theater since she started in musicals in London. Queen Latifah and Christine Baranski were as awesome as you'd expect. But I was very surprised at Renee Zelwegger and Richard Gere. But yeah, John C Reilly was a revelation. He is a criminally underrated talent.

[@pluckingflowers]

When he hits that, "Never even knoooooooooooooooow," I was shook.

[@k0chana6]

I have to mention johnny depp and helena bonham carter, both blow me away in sweeney todd... and being a sondheim musical it wasn't an easy task

[@netgnostic1627]

Hell, yes. I love that music, and it all really rewards excellent voices. They both surprised me. Actually, Sacha Baron Cohen as Pirelli proved himself a hell of a performer too. (Not so much for beautiful singing, but for really delivering a great comedic scene, and singing it quite well.)

[@Azariane]

Why is nobody talking about Alan Rickman as the judge?? His really is the voice that blew my mind so much I'm still recovering from it 15 years later. I expected to see his talent shown in this top 20, and near the top, too!!

[@juliemacdonald6572]

Yes totally forgot about him, I know Bonham Carter could sing, but Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp really amazed me

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

*THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE LONDON, BUT JOHNNY DEPP AS SWEENEY TODD HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.*

[@XLindsLuvsPinkX]

It may be because Johnny does actually have a band. So he’s a “known” singer.

[@dianamcmahon51510]

The whole cast of Chicago is amazing. Who knew John C Reilly could sing like that? Richard Gere? Renee Zellweger? Queen Latifah? I know Latifah is a rapper/singer, but she really belted it out in Chicago! One of my favorite movies of all time.

Renee Zelwegger sang in one of her early films. Probably why she’s not included.

[@glennstarkey7087]

True story Queen Latifah once secretly released an album of Soul and Jazz standards under her real name...it sold decent enough it was rebranded "the Dana Owens album" and sold with both names to help encourage sales...it is a GREAT show of singing prowess. However that belongs on a different list...like "singers who shined in other music genres" among Dave Dramain's singing of sound of silence Debbie Gibson's Broadway career and David Bowles duet with the late Bing Crosby

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

I believe she also had some operatic training, icr- it was an age ago that I heard that, but "The Bitter Suite" was so much better than it had any right to be - I thought a musical episode would be naff as hell, but it was actually really poignant & incredibly touching...

GOOD POST

[@MadlynHolinka]

Great actor… but definitely not a vocalist. There are so many truly talented people out there that could’ve done the role Justice, but sadly weren’t given the chance because producers were too afraid to cast anyone “unknown”

[@The_Dudester]

Actually, the sad part of all of this is that 80 years ago, over 90% of movie actors came from a vaudeville background and they could sing, dance and tell jokes with impeccable timing. My favorite actress was Barbara Stanwyck, who actually was a "Ziegfeld Girl" (The Ziegfeld Follies were a series of elaborate theatrical revue productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907 to 1931, with renewals in 1934 and 1936. ) before going to Hollywood.

[@sgtlamancha805]

​@@sgtlamancha805 Yes, but she wasn't a good singer.

[@kpopislife1622]

I'm really shocked that Taye Diggs, Rosario Dawson and Jackie Chan were nowhere on this list because their vocals are absolutely amazing! I also would like to give Catherine her flowers because this woman was pregnant while filming Chicago... PREGNANT Y'ALL! She slid on her stomach at the end of "I can not do it alone" & did all the intense chorography in the movie. She is a superhero in my eyes because I couldn't imagine what shooting the movie was like for her at that time in her life. 👑🤯💜❤️💙#Wow #PureTalent #EveryoneIsAmazing

Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mia was amazing,one of her best performances i've ever seen.

[@maggy8197]

Wow there were some surprises in this one I didn't know (Jeremy Renner for example), nice video! Totally agree as well with your Number One, that film is still one of the ones I go back quite a lot for the awesome music (Renée was also quite good in it I felt personally, but Catherine nailed it).

[@jimgriffin96]

Good list, but how can you omit Sissy Spacek doing "Coal Miner's Daughter"?

[@Indiopr25]

How can you forget Matt Damon on Euro Trip😂 Scotty doesn't know!!! Scotty doesn't knooooww!! 😂 Classic

[@danielrubinstein1621]

This list needs Jack Black in High Fidelity. It may not have come as a surprise to the few people who had already discovered Tenacious D in the late 90s, but his singing talent wasn't well-known at the time. In fact, until he kills it with his performance of Let's Get It On, there's a running joke in the movie about everyone NOT wanting him to sing because they assume he's going to be terrible.

[@elouise5593]

That's right! Jack Black can definitely sing!

Paul Sorvino in Romeo + Juliet. HOLY SHIT. He was the only thing that could have possibly competed with the fabulosity of Mercutio in that music number!

[@RickDesper-v8z]

Paul Sorvino was a trained opera singer.

The one that really took me by surprise was Kim Basinger in "The Marrying Man." What a voice!

[@texas1852]

So true - she was great!

[@anniebanzon1471]

now add voice-actors! because, some are pretty GOOD singers too!

[@margaretpratt5963]

Greg Kinnear singing Summertime, with Meryl dancing, in Stuck on You was a delight and my favorite guilty pleasure.

[@sailorarwen6101]

YEEEEEES! So happy I found this comment. I was determined to mention it positive no other comments would bring it up. I adore that movie and for YEARS I assumed he was dubbed 😅 when I found out he actually sang I was gobsmacked!

[@sarahmccown3921]

Great list! Oscar Isaac in Sucker Punch is also a fun hidden gem. :) Emma Stone also won the part of Laurie in the new Partridge Family after a competition-type show on MTV - her winning song was "B!tch" from Meredith Brooks. :)

Have you seen Inside Llewyn Davis?

[@sapphiresquire]

The one that shocked me the most was Tom Cruise. Obviously there's the singing in Top Gun, but when Rock of Ages came around I didn't know what to expect.

[@timsamanthony]

I would say Oscar Isaac. I heard him sing in Sucker Punch singing Love is the Drug and then in Inside Llewyn Davis, who knew he could sing that like that. Just amazing!

[@haydendegrow945]

Great choices to be sure, but I feel you missed out on two... Scarlett Johansson from "Sing"... Who would have thought Black Widow was a rock singer? And Robin Williams from "Aladdin". I mean COME ON! The man sang two out of the movie's five songs! And then there was Happy Feet. You guys should do more "honourable mentions", even for these long lists!

[@classicerynn8452]

What about Taron Egerton and Richard Madden? They both sang in "Rocketman" and I for one had no idea either of them could sing at all.

[@wendeboyd503]

Wasn't Sing before Rocketman?
