Famous Thespians Singing

LesbianWithAGun

Eddie Murphy (& Michael Jackson)

I became aware of this tonight on something that was being aired on TV,

LesbianWithAGun

this bombed (believe it or not), voted the third worse video of all time by MTV (behind the Darkness's I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Guns N' Roses' Estranged *citation needed).

Eddie Murpy?   Actor maybe, film star even but not a Thespian.

If you were watching the same thing I was, Sam Fox surely?

Weird. My first thought was 'a black guy and a white guy'

Two thespians who can sing:

Ewan McGregor - sounded very good in Moulin Rouge
Eddie Redmayne - superb in Les Mis, sounded pro level

ICBM

Marilyn Monroe could really sing too. I’ve got the ‘Essential Recordings’ album and she was actually genuinely good.

I must have been asleep this morning if I forgot Scarlett Johansson, as well...

Surprised no-one's mentioned the fantastic recent get-em-for-Christmas albums from Alexander Armstrong, Bradley Walsh, Jason Manford and, er, Nick Knowles.  Probably now available for 50p if the sales are still going.

On a slightly more serious note, Hugh Laurie has done a couple of blues albums which I understand are considered OK, although I find them fairly unlistenable.

And there's Jared Leto in Thirty Seconds to Mars.

Huge Action can sing really well. 

Benedict Cummerbund less well.
(Un)Comfortably Numb?

Weird isn't it. It's not like most of these people will have been massive show-offs from a very young age, or had singing and dancing training at stage school etc.

What about Amanda Seyfried.  Lovely voice.

Like/love what Adam Sandler did.

I know this place/we all know this place..

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Michael C. Hall doing his best Bowie impression:
