20 Actors Who Shocked Us With Their Singing Ability

15. Amy Adams

amy adams - the muppets - singing The utter schmaltziness of Enchanted can sometimes overshadow the quality of the singers, especially Amy Adams. Yes, everything she sings is absolutely ridiculous, but that doesn't change the fact that she's singing all these rainbow and puppy dog songs very well. She'd done some strong indie work before this (even earning herself an Oscar nomination for her work in Junebug), but this was the film that really put her on the map. Unfortunately, it also granted her the image of being an annoyingly peppy princess type, but she's a good enough actress that she's been able to overcome that for the most part. Her work in The Fighter and The Master show range that you probably wouldn't believe possible if you had just watched this Disney film. Regardless, her singing voice is definitely worthy of a shout out on this list, even if she is stuck singing things like The Happy Working Song (I only wish I was kidding). This is If I Didn't Care from Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day -- skip to 1:10 for the song.
