Celebrity 14 Celebs You Forgot Could Sing Really, Really Well These stars could totally have a career in music if they wanted to — here's proof By Grace Gavilanes Updated on June 18, 2020 12:45 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Drew Scott. What do Kate Hudson, Penélope Cruz and Sarah Hyland have in common (besides being actresses)? The trio, along with a slew of other celebs, are surprisingly gifted singers. Keep scrolling to see what other celebs should seriously consider a singing career. Drew Scott When he's not guiding millions on the best ways to renovate homes, the Property Brothers star can be found serenading his Instagram audience with his surprisingly soulful voice. More covers, please! Sarah Hyland Hyland should have no issue jumpstarting a singing career after blowing fans away with her and band Boyce Avenue’s acoustic cover of The Chainsmokers’ smash hit, “Closer.” “Dream come true singing with these guys!” wrote the Modern Family star, tweeting out a link to the dreamy rendition. Kate Hudson She showed off her musical chops in 2009’s Nine, but Hudson reminded fans once more of how talented she really is with a performance of the Prince-penned song “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Penélope Cruz Hudson’s Nine costar may have garnered critical acclaim for her performance in the Daniel Day-Lewis-led musical during awards season, but we can’t stop listening to Cruz’s stunning vocals on Panamanian artist Miguel Bosé’s 2012 song “Decirnos Adiés.” Kerry Washington Get you a girl who can do both! Washington not only kicks major butt as Olivia Pope on Scandal but can also keep up with American Idol alum Jordin Sparks, as she showed with this super-memorable karaoke session. Leighton Meester Meester may be focusing more on music at this point, but the brunette will forever be known as Blair Waldorf in our hearts – which is why her singing voice always takes us by surprise. Emma Stone Before winning us over in films like Easy A, Superbad and Crazy, Stupid, Love, a then-unknown Stone competed in a singing competition in hopes of landing a role in a reboot of The Partridge Family. She may not have scored the role (thankfully, we’re pretty sure), but she eventually landed a better showcase for her vocal chops: Starring alongside Ryan Gosling in 2016’s musical La La Land. Emilia Clarke We know Clarke as the Mother of Dragons on Game of Thrones, but one minute of hearing the actress’s mesmerizing voice will leave you wondering why she hasn’t pursued a music career yet. Kate Winslet Is there anything she can’t do? (No. The answer is no.) Troian Bellisario Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale actually recorded a country album, though she’s hardly the only PLL alum with musical chops. (Bellisario sings in French, though, which might be more impressive?) Colton Haynes Someone get the Arrow star a record deal, stat. Scarlett Johansson The actress went full folky performing a song with Pete Yorn on Live! with Regis and Kelly, and her 2008 album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, was composed largely of covers from Tom Waits. So besides a great singing taste, ScarJo’s got great taste in songwriters. Gwyneth Paltrow The Goop founder is not only known for her better-for-you cookbooks and lifestyle site, but also her impressive singing voice – as witnessed in Country Strong and Glee. Sarah Jessica Parker Years before starring on Sex and the City, Parker made waves playing the eponymous character in Annie on Broadway.
