Which child actor were YOU surprised to learn could sing? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Child Stars Who Had Successful Music Careers - th-cam.com/video/2IW0EPjomFg/w-d-xo.html
Zendaya is one of the few child actors that has absolutely kicked azz and broke out into a bonafide adult superstar, acting, singing and seemingly avoiding all those pitfalls that child actors fall into. It's a sight to see.
It makes sense that Lindsay Lohan's character in "Freaky Friday" was made a musician, to accommodate for Lohan's musical abilities. Interestingly, Anna wasn't the lead singer of the group, but Christina Vidal's character was.
Shirley Temple Black wasn't just a child star, she was a UN ambassador and heavily involved in charity work. It seems like most of the people you have focused on besides STB and NPH are all quite recent. I'd like to add another: Judy Garland was a child star with Mickey Rooney in the Andy Hardy films and 16 when she sang Over the Rainbow in The Wizard of Oz.
Garland started out a s singer and dancer on Vaudeville stages long before she began to act so she doesn't fit the scope of this list which is actors we watched as children then discovered they could sing. Her first appearance was at the age of 2, singing and dancing with her 2 older sisters as "The Gumm Sisters" (Her birth name was Francis Gumm).
Yep. Those awkward dance scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire required him to pretend he couldn't dance at all, when the truth is that even at that age he was a very good dancer.
Why is Shirley Temple on this list? No one is surprised she could sing. She was hired because she could sing & dance. It’s rare to find a movie of hers where she doesn’t sing. It would have made as much sense to include Miley Cyrus on this list.
Daniel Radcliffe not only he can sing, but he can also dance, just look at his move and he looks very comfortable. Same thing with Neil Patrick Harris, he can also dance.
I think maybe this list is for known child actors in acting only… When Ariana grande debuted on Tv, it was a musical series.. the roles here listed by the actors were non musical… so it was only when when they have other projects that people discovered they could actually sing.. like Miranda cosgroves role was famous for not being able to sing, Radcliffe to since he never sang in tv or movies… but yeah zendaya started singing in her debut show already.. it’s a confusing list
Ashley Tisdale played Maddie on Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She sang in the High School Musical movies as well as on Phineas and Ferb. Back in the 70’s Shaun Cassidy starred in the Hardy Boys tv show. He sang in several episodes of the show and put out several hit records. Also, Alison Smith played Jenny in the show Kate & Allie. She sang in a few episodes. She had starred as Annie on broadway when she was younger.
In my opinion: I think the moment we heard Zendeya could sing, was in that Japan episode of Shake It Up, she and Cece were at a karaoke party and sang “two halves of the same heart” that’s when I knew she could sing
Funnily enough, that clip of the lizzie mcguire movie sounded like someone else singing until the last line. I know Hillary and her sister Hailey sang together a lot after that, and I listened to songs like "The math". It just sounded like a different person in the first couple lines of the clip. Which is really funny when you consider that she's supposed to be proving they *aren't lip-syncing* in the movie
Fun fact: Zendaya's boyfriend, Tom Holland (Spider Man), also has experience with singing when he was younger, which also could help with the fact that they have much in common and could complete each other.
Ahemmmm. . .if you're going to mention Shirley Temple, you must remember Judy Garland, probably best known for "The Wizard of Oz". Age 17 at the time, but she was active before that major role as well.
I watched this video because I saw How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway and wanted to hear it again. Interesting and enjoyable video though. Glad to see you included NPH in Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog.
Just because they carried a tune and had top produces to assist and edit along the way does not mean that they can truly sing!!! This video was not necessary!!.
I’ve been told I look like Shirley temple irl. Especially when I was a kid I’ve been likened to her. And I can sing too? Wait. Am I Shirley’s reincarnation??!!!
How's your childhood? are you happy? I'm only asking because Shirley Temple wasn't all sweet roses. Same as Judy Garland childhood wasn't what people thought it was either.
Zendaya has the most beautiful voice out of all them - the Greatest Showman is still one of my most favourite films 😊 but I had no idea what a triple threat Daniel Radcliffe is!!!
This should be a top twenty list because there are so many. Jodie Sweeten from Full House sang several times on Full House. And Tatiana Ali on The Fresh Prince. Allison Porter from Curly Sue showed she could sing on the voice. Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel can sing too. He sang on Psych and he's not bad. He sang on Family Matters but he did it in the Urkel voice so it didn't sound great then, but he's not bad.
Just saw Daniel R in Merrily We Roll Along with Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, the latter two being dyed in the wool Broadway actors with highly trained voices. With Daniel, it's more like he can carry a tune than he can sing. The difference was noticeable.
I love Jenny Humphrey always but I'll never forgive the writers for how they made her character change sooo much!! 😢🤧 and i hated the black eye liner!! 🥴
The problem with many of these picks, most are auto tuned or synthed. Like, i know some of them can sing, but poor examples here. (with apologies) Pretty much anyone can sing with auto tune.

Macaulay Culkin
Jodie Sweetin
I should be on that list! I have been singing ever since I was a child.
Zendaya is one of the few child actors that has absolutely kicked azz and broke out into a bonafide adult superstar, acting, singing and seemingly avoiding all those pitfalls that child actors fall into. It's a sight to see.
Zendaya has gorgeous voice
Yeah too bad she’s not huge in the music industry.
She has a gorgeous everything. God she is soooo sexy.
There is nothing she can’t do! Love her for that!
Who?
It makes sense that Lindsay Lohan's character in "Freaky Friday" was made a musician, to accommodate for Lohan's musical abilities. Interestingly, Anna wasn't the lead singer of the group, but Christina Vidal's character was.
Christina Vidal.
Don’t forget that Daniel Radcliffe can also rap the Alphabet Aerobics
50 points to Gryffindor!
Yes and sang on jimmy fallon show .
Pretty much any Disney and Nickelodeon star, but the most famous of them all are Britney and Christina
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Ariana grande when she was in 13 the Broadway musical
Yay! Miranda Cosgrove, Selena Gomez, Zendaya, and Neil Patrick Harris!😁💓💓💓💓💓
Shirley Temple Black wasn't just a child star, she was a UN ambassador and heavily involved in charity work.

Ok
Shirley Temple was cute but not a great singer
Dayum, Daniel Radcliffe can DANCE!
Yep. Those awkward dance scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire required him to pretend he couldn't dance at all, when the truth is that even at that age he was a very good dancer.
Why is Shirley Temple on this list? No one is surprised she could sing. She was hired because she could sing & dance. It’s rare to find a movie of hers where she doesn’t sing. It would have made as much sense to include Miley Cyrus on this list.
Miranda Cosgrove
12:55 this part is actually from her sister haylie, her part starts at 13:03
Never knew Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were in Barney and Friends as kids
Hillary Duff. Happy tuesday afternoon, Jen , take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I love you guys! (4:04 Miranda Cosgrove, 6:31 Daniel Radcliffe, 12:03 Hailee Steinfeld, & 12:20 Neil Patrick Harris)
I’m more impressed by Daniel Radcliffe’s dancing!
We'll have to do a dance version of this list!
Daniel Radcliffe not only he can sing, but he can also dance, just look at his move and he looks very comfortable.
Same thing with Neil Patrick Harris, he can also dance.
I knew Daniel Radcliffe could rap, but MAN can he sing!
Accio shock and amazement!
@@cheneethompson5756 Accio popcorn and beverage.
@@ColtonRMagby accio more popcorn!
@@cheneethompson5756 And another beverage.
Surprised Ariana Grande isn't on the list
Maybe cuz she wasn’t a child but a teenagers
@@Missmagazinebura so was Hilary duff
Or Sofia Carson
I think maybe this list is for known child actors in acting only…
When Ariana grande debuted on Tv, it was a musical series..
the roles here listed by the actors were non musical… so it was only when when they have other projects that people discovered they could actually sing..
like Miranda cosgroves role was famous for not being able to sing, Radcliffe to since he never sang in tv or movies… but yeah zendaya started singing in her debut show already.. it’s a confusing list
@@Emeraldnicki Barney they sang
U forgot put Demi Lovato in Camp Rock one and two. Yes I agree on ur picks
Ashley Tisdale played Maddie on Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She sang in the High School Musical movies as well as on Phineas and Ferb. Back in the 70’s Shaun Cassidy starred in the Hardy Boys tv show. He sang in several episodes of the show and put out several hit records. Also, Alison Smith played Jenny in the show Kate & Allie.

Actually Hillary duff used a voice double for what dreams are made of. And that sounds ridiculously easy to sing… so.
Funnily enough, that clip of the lizzie mcguire movie sounded like someone else singing until the last line. I know Hillary and her sister Hailey sang together a lot after that, and I listened to songs like "The math". It just sounded like a different person in the first couple lines of the clip. Which is really funny when you consider that she's supposed to be proving they *aren't lip-syncing* in the movie
And funny enough, that was a different person singing 😂 she does sing in the song, but they chose the wrong clip to showcase
Fun fact: Zendaya's boyfriend, Tom Holland (Spider Man), also has experience with singing when he was younger, which also could help with the fact that they have much in common and could complete each other.
Top 10 Child Actors that AGED well.
That would be a short list. Lol!
Very surprised Alisan Porter was not even mentioned after the way she belted out Blue Bayou on The Voice!
Daniel Radcliffe must be cast as the voice of a new Disney Prince.
Ahemmmm. . .if you're going to mention Shirley Temple, you must remember Judy Garland, probably best known for "The Wizard of Oz". Age 17 at the time, but she was active before that major role as well.
I’m seeing Sarah Hyland as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors tomorrow!
I love Hilary Duff and Zendaya and Lindsey Logan voices the most ❤️❤️
Everyone knew that Shirley Temple could sing, she sang in all her childhood movies. She doesn’t fit this category at all.
Top 10 Twin Actors
Hilary Duff can absolutely sing, but the clip you picked was one that wasn't actually her, she couldn't go that high in her range at the time.
What happened to dembi latvito also from Barney and friends
I didn’t know Daniel could sing 😂
It was the backwards moments for me. I mainly know these people as singers, so it was fun to see them as kid actors.
I watched this video because I saw How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway and wanted to hear it again. Interesting and enjoyable video though. Glad to see you included NPH in Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog.
Anthony Rapp, Cory Hart, Alyssa Milano, Scarlett Johansson
Just because they carried a tune and had top produces to assist and edit along the way does not mean that they can truly sing!!! This video was not necessary!!.
Make your own video then
I’ve been told I look like Shirley temple irl. Especially when I was a kid I’ve been likened to her. And I can sing too? Wait. Am I Shirley’s reincarnation??!!!
How's your childhood? are you happy? I'm only asking because Shirley Temple wasn't all sweet roses. Same as Judy Garland childhood wasn't what people thought it was either.
Do you have a round face and dimples? Shirley kept her famous dimples throughout her life.
omg MOJO HOW DID YOU NOT USE Neil Patrick Harris Glee performance 🎭 I 😋 LITERALLY 😋 FELL 😋 IN 😋 LOVE ❤️ (AS Real Ray Williams says) he was so FOINEE 😂
Is that Daniel Radcliffe I see in the thumbnail there to
Yup
Zendaya has the most beautiful voice out of all them - the Greatest Showman is still one of my most favourite films 😊 but I had no idea what a triple threat Daniel Radcliffe is!!!
Demi Lovato and Tony Oller (As The Bell Rings)
I was waiting for Anna Kendrick - child broadway star!
her book says her and her brother when and did an audition all by them selfs and had to spend extra money for audition clothes and shoes
YAY! Shirley Temple is the best!
Ariel Winter from Modern Family too. She was the singer on Sophia the first along with the amazing Wayne Brady.
Olivia Olson in Love Actually! I think you missed one there.
I thought the "Modern Family" star featured here would've been Ariel Winter.
McKenna Grace should be on this list
MILEY CYRUS
This should be a top twenty list because there are so many. Jodie Sweeten from Full House sang several times on Full House. And Tatiana Ali on The Fresh Prince. Allison Porter from Curly Sue showed she could sing on the voice. Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel can sing too. He sang on Psych and he's not bad. He sang on Family Matters but he did it in the Urkel voice so it didn't sound great then, but he's not bad.
Ralph Carter from Good Times. He had a disco song - "When You're Young and in Love".🙆🏾♀️🇺🇦
Selena Gomez could sing?!! Are you serious?!! 😂
Thank you, because I for one, NEVER thought that she could sing to save her life long before her disastrous 2019 AMA performance happened! 😂😂😂
12:26 Music Meister in _Batman: The Brave and the Bold,_ too!
9:03
(Screams) Barney the Dinosaur! Paranormal activity
Awesome
Iain Armitage can sing too
Top 10 funny books to read
You forgot Ariel Winter from Modern Family
Just saw Daniel R in Merrily We Roll Along with Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, the latter two being dyed in the wool Broadway actors with highly trained voices. With Daniel, it's more like he can carry a tune than he can sing. The difference was noticeable.
honey i will be good!
You guys should have shown Daniel Radcliff singing in Miracle Workers 😅
I know Hillary Duff can sing, but wasn't "What Dreams are Made of" technically sung by her sister Hailey?
👍🏿👍🏿
I heard DR once sing in Harry Potter and the goblet of fire
Not Selena Gomez 💀
How was it even possible to ignore Ryan Gosling in 2024? La-la-land? Barbie? Dead Man's Bones? He was a Disney child along with Britney and Justin.
good! bad! and free! good! bad! and free!
OMG!
Ok but why is the clip of Hilary Duff the part where it’s not even her singing? I know the 2nd part of it is but not the first. Soooooo cringe
I knew Zendaya could sing before The Greatest Showman
A list with half of the entries being former Nickelodeon or Disney actors who could also sing? Groundbreaking.
Everyone knew that Miranda and Lindsay can sing
I never heard of the number 1 person. What is one of hers movies?
🎬🍿🎞🎥🧙🏻♂
12:35 I think i heard that song in Cow of the Wild.
In what?
@@Emily-cw7tj it's an animated series on TH-cam. Most episodes were made by just one person.
@@annafowdy oh ok I thought maybe it was a typo sorry
That girl was a one time teenage drama queennnnnn
I love Jenny Humphrey always but I'll never forgive the writers for how they made her character change sooo much!! 😢🤧 and i hated the black eye liner!! 🥴
msmojo watchmojo
A pizza themed parody band?🤯
When was that a thing and why am I hearing this for the first time?
Tom Holland played Billy in Billy Elliot
Just because some people have made music doesn’t mean they can sing
You should hear Daniel Radcliffe in Miracle Workers in s3 She be coming around the mountain he left HP persona
Most of them I knew because I grew up with them.
iCarly of course
The problem with many of these picks, most are auto tuned or synthed. Like, i know some of them can sing, but poor examples here. (with apologies)
Pretty much anyone can sing with auto tune.
You forgot Christian Bale in Newsies.
Where’s Ariana Grande?
NAYA RIVERA ANYONE?🤨
Naya Rivera wasn't a teenager on Glee.
@@stephaniemajors7697 She was a child star before glee. Look at her filmographia, see the years she started to act
Some of them truly have talent..others aren’t but have to because they could get fired
How is NPH only a honourable mention
NPH Only an Honorable Menton>?
🎶🎵😊
Cool
Surprise surprise of course you put Shirley Temple as number 1
Lmao why would u use the clip of hilary duff where its not her voice, pretty sure thats her sisters voice
some of these were no longer child actors by the time of the performances you cite
Get A Clue was the first time Lindsay Lohan sang, did you forget?
