Almost none of the cast are actual singers or musical artists.
Just Tory Kelly, who plays the elephant. So I guess I'll be routing for her.
Seth MacFarlane sings in his shows and has released albums. Scarlett Johansson is in a band. Only Taron Egerton and Reese Witherspoon aren't singers, but after seeing the film, Egerton surprised me and I hope he sings more. Witherspoon joins the list of actors who should never sing again.
Want three steaks?... My mistake. Four steaks.
There's a new clip up today of Matthew McConaughey and Scarlett Johansson singing "Call me Maybe". OK, MM's not a singer but he manages to carry a tune and ScarJo's great.

I think Reese Witherspoon sang in the film 'Walk the Line' (2005) which is where she won the Oscar...
shareShe played June Carter, who wasn't a great singer to begin with, so you shouldn't judge her singing abilities on that. And Witherspoon didn't deserve to win for Walk The Line. She should've won for Wild.

June Cater was not a great singer... Um... Uh... I know opinions and all but she had one of the greatest voices in country music.
shareNo she didn't. It was endearing but it wasn't perfect. Even she knew that. That's why she was more of an entertainer than a singer during shows. They even explained that in Walk The Line (not that that's an accurate portrayal of real life but that aspect was true).
Reese isn't a singer. Listen to her duet with Michael Bublé:

She doesn't know how to phrase her melodies nor is she in tune, which is why she sounds like a bored robot. Look, it's ok if you think she can sing; we all have opinions. And it's ok if I don't think she can sing. There are many actors who shouldn't sing whatsoever (looking at you, too, Johnny Depp), but that doesn't make me think they're the worst actors ever.

He sang the theme song for "Eddie the Eagle" which he starred in. Hugh Jackman does the background vocals.

Didn't know that. Thanks for that.

Except she totally sang and owned as June Carter Cash.
