Ewan McGregor blew me away in Moulin Rouge, the tone of his voice is so crisp and clear. I became a bit obsessed with his cover of My Song after seeing the film cause I love the way his voice sounds in it. I was 11 when the movie came out but didn’t see it until I was 13 and I didn’t know it was a cover of Elton John’s song at the time 🫣 only found out cause my dad heard me listening to it and he started singing along to it too and I was like, “how do you know this??” and he told me it was originally by Elton John 😅

Most definitely! I too was completely obsessed with the movie and watched it on repeat. I used to be able to recite every single song haha I used to walk to work which was a couple of miles away, so I'd pass the time by singing them. And my best friend and I would sing the elephant medley to each other on drives in the car lol Then when I introduced Moulin Rouge to my daughters, they fell in love with Ewan and the movie too. Watching this makes me want to rewatch it for the many hundred and umpteenth time. It'll always be a favorite of mine ❤

First of all, Johnny Depp in ''Sweeney Todd,'' ringing in his fantastic singing talent and of course guitar skills, still active today in his band Hollywood Vampires and of course with the wonderful late Jeff Beck on their joint 2022 tour across Europe and US. Then Jensen Ackles, having released to this day 2 albums together with Steve Carlson under the band name Radio Company. During conventions he regularly delights audiences with his cover songs, delicious! Furthermore Robert Downey jr, who also released a delightful album ''The Futurist,'' and also sang in other movies. Not to forget Kevin Costner, and Bruce Willis, both touring extendedly with their bands respectively. Those 5 with a tremendous singing talent, paired with musical instrumental skills are my personal Top 5. Excellent!

@lankastols7817 21 күн бұрын

A lot of people didn't like his "rough/rock-type" vocals for Phantom because they were used to the cleaner vocals of the Broadway version. Personally, since I live outside of America, the movie was the first time hearing the Phantom soundtrack and I instantly fell in love with both Emmy and Gerard's vocals and was (and still am) obsessed. I love the rough/rocky take that Gerard brought to Phantom's vocals. I actually really don't like the cleaner, broadway versions - just a personal preference, but that was an instant turn-off for me as a singer/musician 😂😂

The headline of this video mystifies me. Most movie actors have stage experience, voice classes, as well as acting classes. There are some actors who can't carry a tune in a bucket, but most have the training. I know that I've had plenty of classes, and kind of had to relearn after my voice changed in puberty to a baritone. Dwayne Johnson took months of voice classes to learn to sing before recording his part in Moana, and yes, he did great work there. That's impressive. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix both went through a lot of vocal training in preparation for Walk the Line, and they were fantastic. Also, James Cagney and Christopher Walken, both known as movie tough guys, started out as song-n-dance men on stage. Cagney puts on full display in the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, the film adaptation of George M, a stage musical that I have worked on.

Riley Keough…her mama and grandad should be proud even though they are both gone beyond this world! Riley has an absolutely awesome voice and no matter her origins, she should be a star…both in acting and vocal ability! Daisy Jones & The Six was phenomenal.

I'd add Anthony Stewart Head as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who also starred in Repo: the Genetic Opera! He was incredible! (Also, Amber Benson as Tara, she has an amazing voice, too!)

Amber Benson, yes! The joint song with Tara and Giles is a close second to Spike's song, for me.

Can we please put Darren Chris from Glee as Blaine Anderson in here? Songs like Teenage Dream, the acoustic version of Teenage Dream, Baby It’s cold outside, Somewhere we only know, Tonight, Beauty School Dropout, All of Me, Cough Syrup, Hey Soul Sister, and Last Friday Night, with Wanna be startin something. Are must see

Well, I think Darren is a fabulous singer, I believe the category was actors that were not initially known for their singing ability.

Exactly. Was waiting for him to be on the list. I'm so disappointed. Also, why is The Rock on the list? He's OK, but the title says you find out they're "great singers," which he is not.
