OT: people you were surprised to find out can sing

[nwhoopfan]

This one is really wide open to interpretation. I'll start w/ an actress I like, I had no idea she's also a singer. She's performing in Seattle in June but I'll be out of town so I'll miss it. It's not the greatest but it's legit I think. Lola Kirke. Has a nice country rock groove to it.

Another actress I like, Ella Purnell. I don't think she tours, this is just goofing around, but she has a beautiful voice.



Fin macmillan and ella purnell who sing Everybody want to be a Cat !

Roseanne Barr... NOT!

Amanda Seyfred, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway among others...

To me Brie Larsen is pretty much unrecognizable in this role as Envy Adams in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." This is actually her singing lead vocals on a great song by Metric. Her vocals aren't as good as the original but not bad at all.



Original version for comparison.

Metric - Black Sheep

Scarlett Johansson

Gwyneth Paltrow. This song got quite a bit of radio airplay when it came out. She's had singing parts in a few movies.

Ken Curtis who played the character "Festis" on "Gunsmoke". He replaced Frank Sinatra with the Dorsey Band. He was also the lead singer for The Sons Of the Pioneers when they were featured in this John Ford Movie "Rio Grand".

Gwyneth Paltrow. This song got quite a bit of radio airplay when it came out. She's had singing parts in a few movies.

I like her song "coming home" in the movie Country Strong.

Sveta is enjoying it.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Well, this one is not so original, but it surprised me. Maya Moore, champion, drummer, and singer.

Thanks for 4+ minutes of heaven.

Did you know that actress Shannyn Sossamon is also a musician? She is a drummer and singer(and I believe producer). Along with her bass playing sister Jenny Lindberg and others formed the band WARPAINT, although her acting career took off and she left the band after a very brief stay.Here is a piece she did. Her sister is playing bass and I am not familiar with the other young woman.

Not only sings, but has his own band. Tours and has a couple albums out.

Red River - Kevin Costner and Modern West

 

[meyers7]

Most people may already know this. But it does explain "The Chair".

I Talk To The Trees - Clint Eastwood

 

[Aluminny69]

Anyone remember Darla Hood from the Little Rascals? I was somewhat surprised to learn that she had singing career as an adult.

 

[Aluminny69]

My secret crush: Linda Purl. Linda attended a private high school in Washington, Ct. while starring in the first of her many movies, Jory with Robbie Benson. Also played Fonzie's girlfriend, and Matlock's niece.

 

[meyers7]

Again not sure if surprising because he's been around so long. Bruce sings blues and plays the harp.

Devil Woman - Bruce Willis

 

[Aluminny69]

I thought Kevin Spacey did a good job in the biopic Beyond The Sea, portraying Bobby Darin.

 

[Aluminny69]

Perhaps the biggest hit song by an actor, Patrick Swayze.

Few people are old enough to remember that, before Bob McGrath became a regular on Sesame Street, he was the lead tenor for Mitch Miller's show, Sing along with Mitch.
