I like how Brandy is in the thumbnail as a reminder for the new Descendants movie.
Cool
I'm very disappointed she was number 10.
@madamemeowth ikr it pissed me off
And the film wasn't bad, I only watched it for Brandy and Christopher, never seen any others but I enjoyed it.
Brandy was the perfect Cinderella❤❤❤❤
I agree
Jennifer Lopez as Selena, Olivia Newton-John as Sandy, David Bowie as Jareth, and Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles
Too right, I loved Selena as a child, Jennifer Lopez was the perfect casting choice. The ending is so heartbreaking. 💔😢
And in fact Newton-John and Bowie are in the list. The other two criminally are not….when they should be even higher up in there than the aforementioned.
I loved that movie too. Sadly, someone thought it would be a good idea to do a docuseries about her death from Yolanda’s perspective which everyone knows that she's a liar.
As for Jareth, Michael Jackson, Prince and Sting were considered to play Jareth before David Bowie got the role. For Sandy, Marie Osmond and Carrie Fisher were also considered to play Sandy before Olivia Newton-John. Salma Hayek was considered to play Selena before JLo got the role.
I was thinking of Eminem in "8 Mile" as well-until I remembered that this list was about musicals, which I doubt "8 Mile" or "Ray" quite qualify as. "Selena" is probably closer to one, but again it's a fine line.
Others you missed
1.Whitney Houston The Bodyguard and The Preachers Wife
2. Irene Cara orginal Sparkle and Fame.
3. Jlo Selena
4. Jaime Foxx Ray
5. Tina Turner Mad Max
6. Diana Ross Lady Sings the Blues
7. Aretha Franklin Blues Brothers
Queen Latifah in Bessie
Diana Ross is The Wiz
Fantasia in Life’s not a fairytale
I thought Burlesque with Christina Aguilera would be on here. It does have musical numbers and Xtina does give a legit performance
me too
Yeah especially when she killed the soundtrack. Express alone is better than the entire A Star is Born remake soundtrack.
Elvis was so magnetic to watch on screen. Even if the plots of his movies weren't that memorable, the songs and performances linger on. ❤️
My teenage self loved David Bowie and his music, likely stemming from when I first watched him in "Labyrinth." His hammy performance was the highlight for me.
The Labyrinth soundtrack is fire! I can't imagine what the soundtrack had Sting, Michael Jackson, or Prince did it. Not to say the soundtrack would be awful, but it would have been interesting.
@@kamsismithI believe Mick Jagger turned down the part before Bowie got it.
How dare you leave out Burlesque that had both Cher and Christina Aguilera!!
I agree
How about Mandy Moore as Rapunzel from Tangled? I think she did an excellent job with that role!
This list is live action only
Thats it!!!! Going to watch Brandy Cinderella today!!!!
You will Love It!
@@jaclynsanture6643 oh no, I meant, Im going to watch it for the millionth time 😂
@@nickjunior88 Oh, great!
Brandy even came back as Cinderella in the new Descendants movie!!!
How about the animated movie musicals? Like Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Justin Timberlake as Branch, and Gloria Estefan as Marta Sandoval in Vivo. These performances got me so surprised about celebrity casting because they were so good in their characters
Michael Jackson absolutely
He was so cute in that movie.
You missed Justin Timberlake as Branch in Trolls, Idina Menzel as Elsa in Frozen, Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles in Ray and Frank Sinatra in Guys and Dolls.

20. Andra Day - The USA vs. Billie Holiday
19. Fantasia - Color Purple
18. Diana Ross - The Lady Sings the blues
17. Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
16. David Bowie - Labyrinth
15. Queen Latifah - Chicago
14. Bjork - Dancer in the Dark
13. Michael Jackson - The Wiz

Top 10:
10. Whitney Houston - The Bodyguard.
9. Beyoncé - Dreamgirls

6. Jlo - Selena
5. Bette Midler - The Rose
4. Prince - Purple Rain
3. Liza Minelli - Cabaret
2. Brabra Streisand - Funny Girl
1. Lady Gaga - A star is Born
Madonna in Evita def deserved top 5. She was excellent in that movie and we know she isn’t the best actress
Finally someone gave Brandy her recognition in Cinderella, people always underrated this movie so much it's a shame that it took someone this long for someone to give her, her props❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brandy Cinderella
David Bowie labyrinth
"The Wiz" came out before Michael Jackson's solo music career really took off with "Off the Wall", but he was certainly well known. I saw the movie during its original theatrical run, and even at that age I recognized just how good he was as the Scarecrow. Sadly, the disappointing box office pretty much killed not only any chance at Michael having a movie career, it also turned out to be Diana Ross's last movie as well, even though she'd been nominated for an Oscar (for "Lady Sings the Blues") only five years earlier.
Brandy as Cinderella was - she set the bar high.
Fantasia deserved more than an honorable mention for The Color Purple.
Purple rain
What about Sir Elton John as The Pinball Wizard in “Tommy”, Tina Turner as Auntie Entity in “Mad Max III: Beyond Thunderdome”, Diana Ross as Billie Holliday in “Lady Sings The Blues”?
Fergie performing Be Italian is the one memorable moment in the movie Nine! Outstanding!!
Um, I hate to break it to you but Olivia Newton-John was a MAJOR POP STAR even before "Grease" came out. In the span of just two calendar years (1974 and 1975), she had FIVE consecutive Top 10 hits, including TWO #1 singles ("I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow") and a #1 pop album (which displaced Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" at #1). Plus, she won THREE Grammy Awards in that time frame. And she hadn't exactly been off the charts before "Grease" came out. She wasn't having the same level of success but she had another 5 Top 40 chart singles prior to "Grease." (In fact, even after "Grease" came out, she'd be a pretty consistent chart performer but she never had more than 4 consecutive Top 10 hits even including her many collaborations.) Yes, her country career was a bit controversial but the fact that she won two major country music awards (the CMA's Female Vocalist of the Year and the ACM's Most Promising Female Vocalist) plus having 13 Top 40 Country hits between 1973 and 1979 wasn't exactly small potatoes.
This is an outstanding list
Where is Whitney Houston in "The Bodyguard"? It's just as much a musical as "A Star is Born" and "The Rose"!
How could they leave her out?
Not.... Barbra Streisand?
I really thought Jennifer Hudson is here she'd done so many casting in the movie Respect, dream girls, cats and the color purple. And Cynthia erivo in the color purple and Whitney Houston on Cinderella should be a special mention.
Cynthia was only in The Color Purple on stage
With Bowie, I would've really gone with "Absolute Beginners" over "Labyrinth." "Beginners" may not have the same cachet as "Labyrinth" but it was really more of a musical than "Labyrinth" which really came off more as a movie with a few songs while ""Absolute Beginners" was constructed as a proper musical where the songs are integral to the plot. Plus Bowie's performance of "Absolute Beginners" was a major UK #2 hit for him--and just missed making it to the Top 50 on the Hot 100--while "Underground" missed the Top 20 in the UK and didn't even make the Hot 100 in the US. Nothing against Bowie's performance in "Labyrinth" but, given the fact that the film has also made some of the Mojo family's "bad" lists (mostly for the "predatory/quasi-grooming" aspect of the story), maybe using it as a "Best Pop Star Castings" selection for Bowie is a bit questionable.
How about:
.Elijah Kelley- Hairspray (2007)
.Alexandre Shipp- Tick Tick Boom (2021)
.Usher- Geppetto (2000)

Cinderella, Dreamgirls and Chicago are my generation! But I love Grease the most!
I had such a crush on brandy 😍
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job miss mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤
Bette Midler can sing and act, both drama and comedy
Oh. I just remembered that Queen Latifah had a major omission in her listing and that was her TV success on "Living Single." While her character Khadijah ran a magazine that mostly covered hip-hop when music was involved, she and several other cast members performed more classic jazz and R&B (and Latifah performed the show's theme song which featured as much singing as it did rapping).
I think you forgot the Star who played Alexander Hamilton.
Whoever's, a fan of Miss mojo like the idea of top gametoons villains of all time video and with a Honorable mentions on the video so like this idea because I think it's a great one
Thanks for reminding me about the theatrical version of “Nine”; I still need to view it from my saved list. And, “The Rose”. Several of my favorites were mentioned here, including Brandy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whitney in The Bodyguard??? Or do you think that movie is not a musical?
Loved Labyrinth just for Bowie. He slayed.
I agree with Lady Gaga being on the list, surprisingly good acting
Definitely Lady Gaga, and i didn't even knew it was her! Happy friday night, Jen, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
Madonna probably should have been in the actual list rather than relegated to an honorable mention, seeing as how she won a Golden Globe for her performance as Eva Perón.
Brandy is my Cinderella. I can't see anyone but David Bowie to play Jareth. Beyonce is great as always.
I think Gaga is gonna top the A Star is Born permormance with Joker: Folie à Deux, can't wait ❤. Also, I would include in the list Christina Aguilera and Cher with Burlesque, Liza Minelli with Cabaret, Barbra Streissand with Funny Girl, Whitney Houston with The Bodyguard, Andra Day with The United States vs. Billie Holliday.
Excellent list. I agree that Gaga is #1.
Christina Aguilera's Ali Rose VS That A Star Is Born
I fell in love with Queen Latifah in Living Single when I was a child and I'm still in love with her today ❤
No Whitney?!?! Even in the honorable mentions... I'm shocked!!
Brandy still plays Cinderella in the descendants movies
If Bowie in labyrinth isn't #1 we riot
1. I thought this film was DOA even when it was being shot thinking "What the Hell is Cooper thinking and Lady Gaga an actress?". Oh how wrong I was when I saw the film.
gaga is my brain heart and soul omg
It's actually going to be a little weird that Brandy is going to be in the new descendants movie as Cinderella because it makes no sense, because that would make her Chad's mother and he's not half African-American
Lady Gaga was born for musicals!
I’ve known from the moment she did that Sound Of Music Medley at the 2015 Oscars
@@manuelorozco7760She was great, wasn't she?
@@user-gi8pk9uc7q I didn’t expect it! That’s all I can say
I know this isn’t a movie but Ariana grande as penny in hairspray is genuinely one of the worst pop star castings I’ve ever seen. She’s obviously talented but yikes that role was not for her. But I’m hoping wicked will be a lot better
When did Ariana Grande play Penny because in the movie I know and love Amanda Bynes plays Penny
@@chelsea_jacksonIt was Hairspray Live on NBC back in 2016
What happened to Christina Aguilera and Cher from Burlesque?
Gaga is going to be Harley Quinn
While all these people are good. Rodger and Hammerstain Cinderella had a lot of stars. Some of these stars are Brandy, Whitney Houston, Woopie Goldberg, Jason Alexander, and many more.
Björk only an honorable mention? You must be joking
coool
Lulu in to sir with love
Questlove in soul
Bono in across the universe
Adam levine in begin again
Gary Clark jr in elvis
Donna summer in thank god it’s Friday
Meatloaf in the rocky horror picture show
Sammy Davis jr in sweet charity.
predictable No 1, but not a valid one. Streisand may not have deserved inclusion for her A STAR IS BORN, but what about some of her other roles, nb YENTL, which she directed for God's sake.
Madonna deserves a proper rating for EVITA, the big problem being her age, but there was no reason why she couldn't have done it ten years earlier.
Mention of DREAMGIRLS should have made you think of the actual Diana Ross and LADY SINGS THE BLUES. Likewise Whitney Houston in THE BODYGUARD and THE PREACHER'S WIFE.
No Sinatra? Particularly PAL JOEY, but note GUYS AND DOLLS.
Lmfao bey over jen hudson
Who is writing these list half these people shouldn’t have been on their brandy I love you but Christina Aguilera In burlesque was better
Honorable mentions Madonna is a pop star, not an actress, and Evita is not at all. please consider this honorable mention
Witney Houston in Bodyguard and JLo in Selena
