Roundup: 10 singers we wish we could hire for our own weddings

Jun 18, 2008

When it comes to wedding singers, most of us are likely to hire friends who can really sing--and lucky for us if we have friends who really sing, whether solo or as part of a band or a choir. But if you were to get lucky, who would be your dream wedding singer? Check out the list of crooners we dream of singing for us in our weddings, and tell us if some of these make it to your own list!

1. Michael Bublé
An obvious choice, but really, who can resist this Canadian big band singer? He can always do his cover of Tony Bennett's "The Way You Look Tonight" and it'll surely draw guests to the dance floor.
 
2. Musiq Soulchild
As a soul artist, Musiq Soulchild can blend R&B, soul, funk, rock, blues, jazz, and hip hop, and make it all sound so touching. "Don't Change," in particular, is something we could imagine trading the traditional wedding march for.
 
3. Natalie Cole
Three words: "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)." Nothing would liven up the dance floor more than Natalie's giddy performance of this song if she makes it to our weddings!
 
4. Burt Bacharach
Most of the songs from My Best Friend's Wedding ("Wishin' and Hopin'," "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself," "What The World Needs Now Is Love" and that little embarrassing number from the restaurant, "I Say A Little Prayer") were composed by Burt Bacharach, the award-winning composer and pianist from Kansas, Missouri. What could be better than hearing the master singing you a song on your special day?

5. Brandon Boyd
If we can have a rock and roll theme for a wedding, Brandon Boyd would be our fantasy wedding singer--someone that both the men and women in the wedding party would agree on!
 
6. Regine Velasquez
We might as well admit it: Her lung power blows our minds, and she can sing any love song we choose!
 
7. David Cook
So what if we can't marry the new American Idol? Just having him sing our wedding song would be enough thrill for a lifetime--we're sure even the hubbies-to-be won't mind.
 
8. Josh Groban
We're reaching for the stars here, so we might as well include the heavenly Josh Groban and keep on dreaming that he'll sing Andrew Lloyd Webber's "All I Ask Of You."
 
9. Gary Valenciano
When it comes to male Filipino singers with heavenly voices, Gary V certainly tops our list--and he might just make us all teary-eyed when he sings.
 
10. Felix Rivera
You might have seen him in various commercials, but this theater actor's voice, which we were blessed enough to hear when he played Princeton in Avenue Q, is simply wonderful.
