| Matti Nykänen | Tyylini on V | The all time greatest Olympic Ski Jump winner, Matti Nykänen, has also tried his skills as a singer. With poor results. - Susanna Viljanen | ||
| Meryl Streep | The Winner Takes It All, Mamma Mia!, Money Money Money | She sings in the movie 'Mamma Mia!", a musical that uses the music of ABBA, but with the movie's actual cast singing the songs. Perhaps no cast member makes the songs sound QUITE as good as the ABBA originals. But Meryl Streep is among the cast members that suprise us with remarkable singing quality for someone we've known previously almost exclusively for acting. Through this movie she has shown herself to be a singer to the point that no longer do any amiright editors need to cite 'Music Of The Heart' to justify her having an artist summary on amiright. 'The Winner Takes It All' is probably her best solo in the movie. It is especially impressive in the context of the video where one sees her singing and the setting. Also impressive is her performance, along with Julie Walters and Christine Baranski, of 'Souper Trouper'. - Ingrid McCannless | ||
| Michael Palin | The Lumberjack Song | I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay.... - Paul Warren | ||
| Mike Myers | Just the Two of Us, Hard-Knock Life | These songs are credited as Dr. Evil which Mike Myers plays in the "Austin Powers" movies. - Paul Warren | ||
| Miley Cyrus | She recently released a video for the song See You Soon | At age 15 Miley Cyrus stars in the Disney show Hanna Montanna but she was recently bitten by the singing bug just like dad Billy Ray Cyrus. - Celeste | ||
| Minnie Driver | Born to Be Lonely | OK, Driver was casted as Charlotta in the movie version of "Phantom of the Opera", but her singing voice in the movie was dubbed by Margaret Preece, a professional opera singer, even the part when her voice messed up). All is not lost as she got a song called "Born To be Lonely" as the final credits of the movie. She was surprisingly good, but she never reached much commercial success for her own two albums: "Everything I've Got in My Pocket" & "Seastories ". Could be lost gems though. - Rocky Mak |
