I included either the Trek characters or their actors. Sometimes the characters sing, sometimes the actors, sometimes both.
And I'm sure I've forgotten many actors who sing. ;)
You may vote for three responses at a max.
I like Avery Brooks voice when he sings with Vic. Shatner's performances are well known. Enterprise Blues Band is entertaining. Tim Russ' voice is also great.

By the way: did Kirk ever sing?
 
Vic Fontaine.

I voted for Sisko, Tim Russ and The Doctor. Vic would have been the obvious choice. I love his Vegas and Sinatra style songs. Robert Picardo showed much excitement as singer. And don't forget the Klingons singing.....

I would say The Doctor as a character is an excellent singer. I just didn't vote for him because Robert Picardo's classical singing was dubbed in at least one instance. ;)

I think he could have pulled it off, though!

Now now. I'm disappointed. It's like Tom Cruise hadn't done any stunts by himself. :D
 
I picked Sisko, Nimoy, and Other (Seven of Nine}.

Avery Brooks demonstrated a very cool style with a strong baritone voice when he belted out The Best is Yet to Come. First time I saw it, I was kind of surprised as he never really showed he had singing ability.
Nimoy is a pretty nostalgic pick as his songs were kind of ingrained into me as a kid...Highly Illogical, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Check out his vids on Youtube...classic stuff. RIP, Mr Nimoy.
Jeri Ryan has a pretty sweet voice. Very melodic and pure. She did a rendition of Amazing Grace on Youtube which was really nice. Her scene with The Doctor singing You are my Sunshine was quite endearing.
 
How could I forget 'You are my Sunshine'? Seven is also a good singer, granted. She also sang a Klingon War song with the Doctor. I'm wondering if Worf and Martok would have liked it.....:klingon: :lol:

Data singing Blue Skies was also great. Data's German voice actor has a different voice. So the diffence between Data's speaking and singing voice is in the dubbing very conspicuous.

You're forgetting the infamous Allamaraine song. :) Even then with that little bit you could tell he could really sing, IMO.
 
I'd like to know what Martok thinks about the song 'Bat'leth Baby' by the Enterprise Blues Band?
 
@Kilana2
I almost picked Data instead of Nimoy because of Blue Skies. I didn't know Spiner's voice was dubbed over but I had my suspicions. Nimoy's stuff was pure Nimoy. HahA!
 
I love those tunes from Shatner HahA! The vid he did for Rocket Man is forever etched into my consciousness. That level of cool doesn't come easily but Shatner had it in spades.
