5 “I’m Still Standing” – Johnny (Taron Egerton)
Johnny the Gorilla drives the getaway car for his father’s (Big Daddy) gang of bank robbers. Little does his father know, Johnny does not want to follow in his footsteps but rather aspires to become a singer. Too afraid to tell his father the truth about his desires, Johnny simultaneously juggles piano lessons with his lessons as a getaway driver. Unable to fully focus on driving, Johnny botches a bank heist and his father’s gang ends up in jail. As a result, Johnny’s father disowns him. Once Big Daddy hears Johnny sing Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing” on the televised competition, he realizes Johnny’s talent and has a change of heart. He breaks out of jail to show his son his support.
4 “Set it All Free” – Ash (Scarlett Johansson)
Ash is a crested Porcupine who sings backup vocals in her boyfriend Lance’s (Beck Bennett) band. It is obvious early on that Lance does not have her best interest at heart; however, Ash is blinded by her feelings for him. The pair end up auditioning for the singing competition together, but Buster Moon becomes only interested in Ash. Buster envisions her as a popstar princess, and the two are at odds over her performance for most of the movie. Once Ash finds out Lance has been cheating on her with fellow porcupine Becky (Tara Strong), she channels her pain and anger into an original song titled “Set it All Free” which she unveils at the competition.
3 “Shake It Off” — Rosita and Gunter (Reese Witherspoon & Nick Kroll)
Rosita the Pig is a stay-at-home mother to twenty-five piglets. While she loves her children and family, she rarely has a moment to herself and longs to follow her dreams. When a flyer for the Moon Theatre singing competition lands on her kitchen window one morning, she decides to take a chance. She performs “Fireworks” by Katy Perry in her audition and earns her spot. She is subsequently paired up with fellow pig Gunter for the musical number “Shake it Off” by Taylor Swift. Initially, Rosita’s nerves get the better of her when she falls on her face in her first rehearsal, but with hard work and determination, Rosita and Gunter nail their final performance. Rosita’s husband and her twenty-five piglets are in the audience to cheer her on.
2 “Don’t You Worry About a Thing” – Meena (Tori Kelly)
Meena, a painfully shy young elephant is encouraged by her friends and family to try out for the Moon Theatre singing competition. Meena, however, is reluctant to audition as she suffers from terrible stage fright. One day while on a jog, Buster catches Meena singing on her own, and discovers how talented she is. With the help of her fellow competitors and Moon, Meena eventually comes out of her shell for performance night. She starts shy but follows Buster’s advice, “just sing”. Meena gives a powerhouse performance of her rendition of “Don’t You worry ’bout a thing”.
1 “My Way” – Mike (Seth McFarlane)
Mike is a small mouse with a larger-than-life personality. His arrogance is constantly getting him in trouble, as he lies and cheats his way throughout the movie. Despite his bad attitude, Mike is a classically trained singer. He has gotten himself in trouble with some local gangsters and is relying on the proceeds of the singing competition to get him out of hot water. Mike’s troubles ultimately lead to the destruction of the Moon Theatre. He redeems himself at the end though with his fabulous performance of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra.
