William Shatner: Holy shit with extra sweet corn! Arghhhh!!! Sweet Jesus!!! His ‘cover’ of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is an auditory abomination worthy only for cruel interrogation purposes.

The thing is, in America they're not classed as singers or actors, they're entertainers, look at Crosby, sinatra, Streisand back in the day, ok I'll leave now |

'Rock of Ages' movie features quite a few well known actors doing a decent job of singing.
Eric Idle (Monty Python) Always look on the bright side of life.
Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) sings in 'Postman Pat: The Movie'.
Val Kilmer (Top gun) portrayed Jim Morrison in 'The Doors' movie & sung the songs. |

"Pierce Brosnan!
The less confident singers in Mama Mia apparently comforted each other by saying "at least we're not Pierce". "
Pierce Brosnan - apparently a genuinely lovely chap.....but for the love of all that is good, please, never let him sing onscreen again!

"Barbara Streisand
Truly one of the greatest singers of all time 
Hello gorgeous
Name that film x"
Funny Girl
A great film!
And incidentally, that reminds me of another great singer/actress who emulated our Babs in Funny Girl in Glee: Lea Michele

Ah ha! And leading on from the above, yet another actress and fantastic singer, again in Glee who played Lea Michele’s mum in the show: Idina Menzel.
She is probably best known as the voice of Elsa in Disney’s Frozen films |

"Footballer turned Actor and not too bad on the vocals.
Vinnie Jones couldn't go wrong with Wooly Bully. "
Talking of Footballers turned singers: A special shout out to Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle.
Do you remember this hit:

Time now for some more ‘singing’ from William Shatner (yes, Captain James T Kirk no less!)
Here he is providing his own inimitable rendition of Queen’s classic, Bohemian Rhapsody.
WARNING: The following track is intended for entertainment purposes only. I accept no responsibility for any resulting damage to your ear drums....or sanity.

Not sure which came first but Samantha Womack (formerly Janus) of Eastenders and Game On fame represented us at Eurovision
Also arguably an actress turned singer was Emma Bunton who appeared in one episode of Eastenders before she was more famous as a Spice Girl |
