Kristen Bell

Kristen has always done a lot of work in the vocal department. She was the voice of Gossip Girl as well as a character in the video game Assassin's Creed. But it was in her role as Anna in Frozen that she revealed her incredible singing talent, holding her own next to Broadway star Idina Menzel.

Daisy Ridley

There's no denying that this British actress can kick butt - thanks to her fearless performance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but did you know that she can carry a serious tune?

Her voice is so good that even THE Barbra Streisand took notice. The legend invited the 24-year-old to sing with her on her last album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway.

Emma Stone

The Golden Globe-winning actress has finally solidified herself as a triple threat: she can act, dance and sing. Though she's been doing the latter for years (she starred in Cabaret on Broadway) she has admitted to being nervous about performing in La La Land. "I was nervous about it... I am not, you know, the world's greatest singer by any stretch of the imagination," she told W Magazine.

Jennifer Lawrence

The Hunger Games star is also a chart-topping songstress! The title comes courtesy of her song The Hanging Tree, which rose to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014. The tune appeared on Mockingjay's soundtrack and was written by The Lumineers.

Michael Cera

The first time we heard the 28-year-old carry a tune was with Ellen Page in Juno singing Anyone Else But You. Since then, he's gone on to perform back-up vocals on the Weezer tune Hang On and for several songs on the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack. He's also part of the indie rock band Mister Heavenly.
