I like Ewan McGregors coverof Elton Johns "Your Song" in Moulin Rouge.

Let me put it like this: his dedication makes up for his voice.

Edit: the orchestration, choir and opera singer make it more memorable too

Anya Taylor-Joy's renditions of Petula Clark's "Downtown" in Last Night in Soho are terrific.

Eons ago, the late Gloria Grahame played Ado Annie in the film version of Oklahoma! (1955). Gloria was tone-deaf, not a singer, and had been dubbed when called to sing in earlier movies. But as the song "I Cain't Say No" is very much a character song, the decision was made that she sing it herself. So the story goes that they sat her in a studio and had her sing a line, record it, then do the next line, record it, painstakingly making sure she stayed on key, and line by line cobbled a complete vocal take.

The result? Seamless perfection, a hilarious and memorable performance and rendition. Decades later, long away from the Hollywood scene, Grahame was pleased as punch when she still received residuals from the movie soundtrack.

It wasn’t much … but Stephanie Hsu singing “sucked into a bagel” in EEAAO. She has a beautiful, classic lounge singer type of voice.

Then she did the song in the credits at the Oscar’s to fill in for the female voice aside David Byrne.
