Aretha Franklin will forever be an icon. She absolutely crushed "Think" in her sole scene.
Let's face, Jake and Elwood should have taken her o the road instead.
Thanks for recognizing Lesley Ann Warren. She’s tremendous.
Cher is such a diva😍😍😍 and I say it the best way possible. The moment you see her climbing the stairs you can sense all her diva power. And her Fernando performance with Andy Garcia is❤❤❤❤ she's iconic, no matter how small her role is.
It's a shame that Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters weren't in more scenes of "Annie." They really stole all their scenes.
Ann Hathaway in Les Mis singing “I Dreamed a Dream.” If she can steal a whole movie in roughly 20 minutes worth of screen time of course she’s winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress! 💁🏻♀️
People love to joke about how much Meatloaf must have been paid to come in just to perform the the ONE song in Rocky Horror. However, what a lot of people may not be aware of, if they've only seen the movie, is that Meatloaf was in the original Broadway cast of the stage musical in which his role was actually much larger.
It's tradition in the stage version of "The Rocky Horror Show" for Eddie and Dr. Scott to be played by the same actor. As such, Meatloaf played both roles in the Broadway production. He actually has spoken about his hesitation during early rehearsals when he learned that he'd be wearing fishnets and high heels during the Floorshow sequence. Eventually he fully embraced it. He has also spoken about he wishes he could have done both roles in the movie as well, but the producers decided to cast the two roles separately for the film.
Eddie/Dr. Scott aren't the only roles that are split in the stage version. The opening song "Science Fiction Double Feature" is traditionally performed by the actress playing Magenta since the stage show obviously doesn't have the disembodied lips.
Glynis Johns as Mrs Banks is definitely my favorite. Thanks, Emely, and a happy saturday afternoon to you as well. Take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Agreed, Glynis Johns will forever be an icon.
Lots of these are good but I can think of few that didn’t make the list:
.James Marsden in Hairspray (2007)
.John C Reilly in Chicago (2002)
.Josh Mostel in Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
.Keela Slate in The Greatest Showman (2017)
All four did give stellar performances to the already A+, class acts that they give to most of not all of the characters they play, musical or otherwise. I'm sure WatchMojo didn't overlook them and perhaps they'll be on an upcoming similar list which highlights characters who play the supporting role in musicals. My only guess as to why none of them made this list is because it's only highlighting characters who made a very brief (such as one to a few scenes) appearance in a musical yet still left a lasting impression. Still, I do agree with you that they were great in each of the respective musical productions. Plus, now this video has 4 bonus titles that others can check out and which star they should keep an eye out for that made their musical shine just that much brighter; never anything wrong in making something even better.
I think you mean Keala Settle in The Greatest Showman.
Christopher Walken and his sensational "Let's Misbehave" number in "Pennies from Heaven" would be on my list!
Tina Turner as the Acid Queen is the stuff of legends. Amazing performance. RIP
As incredible as the original is, and as sacreligious as this might be to say, I think that the version of Let It Be from “Across The Universe” is one of the few times where a cover is just as good, if not slightly better than the Beatles original. It’s a truly powerful and beautiful rendition of an already incredible song that never fails to bring me to tears
Umm all of the covers in that movie are better than the beatles..thanks to that movie i knew who the beatles were 😂
I never had much of a desire to see the movie until just now when I heard that boy singing Let It Be. I'm going to stream it tonight.
I'm so glad the Nicolas Brothers were #1
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! I had no idea Mamma Mia! had a sequel until today.
It's one of the rare occasions when the sequel is as good as, if not better than, the original
Great recap!
Aretha, Fergie, Rita, and Cher are my favorites😊
Roxanne is my favorite part of Moulin Rouge!
Oh my god, it's chilling. mcgregor's emotions and vocals against the argentinians rough voice was absolutely incredible. Still so sad they cut out the heart of the song in the broadway version 😢
Yeah me too!@@pottergoose
Matt Damon singing “Scottie Doesn’t Know” in Eurotrip
Cher in Mamma Mia Here We Go Again is still the best given the small amount of screen time it the Musical
Ray Charles in the Blues Brothers is also very good.
Tina was fabulous!!!
Steve Martin had a similar role in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band (the movie) as Dr. Maxwell Edison. Like Across the universe, it features covers of Beatles songs by Steve Martin, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Peter Frampton, Billy Preston, and The Bee Gees.
Louis Armstrong in Hello Dolly!
🧨 Chita Rivera - "Chicago" (2002)
Great list! I would add Nell Carter singing “White Boys” and Renn Wood singing “Aquarius” in “Hair” (1979) and Stargard “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and Earth, Wind and Fire in “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1978)
1:16, I still listen to the Songs from the Blues Brothers, including Aretha Franklin's song!
3:30, I mostly grew up with the Theatrical Cut of Little Shop of Horrors on DVD & VHS, and still like it.
Not to mention Steve Martin's Performnace as the Cruel Dentist is still enjoyable.
9:54, I still own The Rocky Horror Picture Show on DVD since last Year.
Everyone's gonna hate me for saying this, but I mostly like the 2016 version the "Hot Patootie" in the 2016 Remake version.
I know its not 100% perfect, but I feel like that Song version has more energy.
The contrast of Leslie Ann Warren's character in Victor Victoria and that of sweet Cinderella was thrilling.
The Nicholas Brothers routine definitely makes the top of my list. I think I call it up for a re-watch more than any other bit.
The Nicholas brothers. OMG! Perfection!
FERGIE WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
gonna say this since he was a part of an`iconic song-and-dance number performed by an ensemble cast and literally only had like 4 lines in the entire movie. the skater guy (don't know his name) who sings that he loves to play the cello in the High School Musical number "Stick With The Status Quo". it may not have been a pitch-perfect performance, but the raw passion for performing in The Arts is there and it's a shame that all the other soloists in that same song got bigger roles throughout the rest of the HSM movies but this guy didn't get a similar level of recognition, in fact he is only on-screen during that number.
I agree with 95% of this, except for your number one. I would certainly add Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta Jones from Chicago to the group, especially Catherine’s rendition of Cell Block Tango and they’re duets and dancing together!
Fergie from 9, Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors and Mya from Chicago are my faves.
My favorite movie is mamma mia musicals movie really great performance actress both Amanda seyfried Mery speer 😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
While it was intentionally and boisterously terrible, I'd add Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp from Blazing Saddles; her song segment is hilarious and overflowing with euphemisms.
This is so cool
I played both Eddie and Orin Scrivello, DDS.
So I am typecast as a biker that gets eaten.
Sammy Davis Jr in Sweet Charity!
Carol Channing and Ann Jillian in Alice In Wonderland 1985 were robbed
Jacek Koman's voice in "Roxanne" hits every single nerve ending in exactly the perfect way.
Excellent choices with a nod to the broad range that exists in film. Can't wait to read the comments that your viewers felt were wrongly omitted. Sometimes a great list needs a hundred more inclusions. Lots of fun.🎉🎉🎉🎉
*MY FAVORITES:*
James Marsden - Hairspray
Tina Turner - Tommy
Aretha Franklin - The Blues Brothers
Taron Egerton - Rocketman
Cher - Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
Rita Moreno - West Side Story
John C. Reilly - Chicago
Lesley Ann Warren - Victor/Victoria
The Nicholas Brothers - Stormy Weather
Anne Hathaway - Les Misérables
Meat Loaf - The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Jacek Koman - Moulin Rouge
Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters - Annie
Minnie Driver - The Phantom of the Opera
Oh gosh, no Anne Hathaway for Les Mis??
Steve Martin did great as an actor, even at a young age.
For me it is definitely Carol Channing in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
That's crazy!
Nine is one of the greatest musicals ever made, i still don't forgive the academy for not invite Fergie at the ceremony and recereate that amazing number, still one of my favorite movies EVER
The Nicholas brothers were the most amazing part of every film they were in.
I only like this video for the honorable mention of WEST SIDE STORY.
5:24 and this is why we’re all still 3000 and late.
No Sissy Spacek for Coal Miner's Daughter?
Aretha Franklin is not only the best singer in that scene, she’s also the best actor. Compared to her, everyone else seems stiff and unnatural.
How about Dick Van Dyke in “Mary Poppins Returns”
I always liked the Blues Brothers! My mom didn't like John Belushi! I told her I her I didn't watch it because him but all the famous people in it! Her jaw dropped and started watching from then on!
Dave Ghrol in pick of Destiny!
Meat loaf
Just wondering, um xmas musical top20🎉
I’m a massive Cher fan, n I mean massive. But I wouldn’t say her cameo was iconic, it was good..ish but not iconic. She sang a song that’s it. But I love u Cher xxx
HANG ON ONE MINUTE. Howd you forget fruma sarah in fiddler 😭😭😭😭
Bob Fosse in Damn Yankees
wow
The blues brothers one shouldn’t count. Extended ver has her more on screen.
