Disney
and Nickelodeon pride themselves on having actors and actresses who can both
sing and act. Which is why a lot of their shows revolve around singing, or at
least have singing in a few episodes.
These
musical shows usually have a main character that does most of the singing. The
problem? You guys don’t get to hear the amazing musical talents of the
“sidekicks” as much!
That’s
why GL is giving you the lowdown on some of the awesome singers you see in your
fave shows, but never really get a chance to hear. Check out these singin’
superstars!
Jennette McCurdy from iCarly
You
may know that Jennette sings, but more people are familiar with Miranda’s
voice. Her YouTube account has tons of vids of her belting out songs with her
strong, amazing voice!
Check out Jennette’s cover of The
Script’s “Breakeven” below…
Kenton Duty from Shake It Up!
His
character might be a little annoying, but his voice will make you forget all
about that! This cutie can play guitar too.
Check out Kenton’s cover
of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” below…
Caroline Sunshine from Shake It Up!
Maybe
she and Kenton are secretly related in real life too because she can sing just
as well. Caroline just released her first single, and it showcases her soft,
sweet voice.
Check out Caroline’s
“Roam” music vid below…
Stefanie Scott from A.N.T. Farm
She
may play the mean girl on TV, but this girl has a sweet, sweet voice! Stefanie
never gets the chance on her show to let the world hear her, but that’s not
gonna stop her from singing for the world. That’s why she puts out covers (and
originals!) on YouTube.
Check out
Stefanie’s cover of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” here!
Katelyn Tarver from Big Time Rush
Before
she played Jo on BTR, Katelyn
competed on the singing competition show, American
Juniors. Then on BTR, she played
an actress, which never gave her the chance to show off her singing chops.
Katelyn has quite a few songs out and has been touring the country with them!
Check out Katelyn’s song
“It’s Good” below…
Max Schneider from How to Rock
This
new Nick show is all about music. Max, however, hasn’t been able to show off
his beautiful, sweet, sultry, and smooth voice. He makes singing seem
effortless and fun. Luckily, he’ll get his superstar moment (the first of many
we’re sure!) when he co-stars with Keke Palmer in the new TV movie Rags, out later this year.
Check out Max’s cover of Britney Spears’ song “Baby One
More Time” below…
Liz Gillies from Victorious
We
all get to hear snippets of Liz singing on Victorious,
but you never get to hear just exactly what she can do with her voice—which is
a lot! Her voice is very low and sultry. It’ll give you chills when you listen.
Check out Liz’s cover of
Lady Gaga’s “You and I” below…
Do
you wish these singers would be featured more on your favorite TV shows? Which
were you most surprised to find out had such a good voice? Blog about it,
babes.
