Music biopics might be the most popular movies based on real-life people. But they can be the most challenging as well. Some actors might look the part and are able to connect with the story, but some actors CAN’T SING and have to perfect lip-syncing the to the musician’s work.
For instance, Deborah Cox isn’t playing Whitney Houston, but she is providing the singing voice for the stunning Yaya DaCosta who has proven she can look and act like Houston. Cox provided a snippet of her performing the title track for the upcoming Lifetime biopic, “I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story.”
Nevertheless, there are actors who can look, act, dance, perform and SING the part every now and then. And MadameNoire compiled a list of 15 actors and films with little to no lip-syncing and new original recordings of their actors as the musicians.
